2007 Nissan Sentra Fuel System Problems

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING ABOUT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, ALL THE SUDDEN I LOST COMPLETE MOMENTUM AS I WAS TURNING INTO ANOTHER LANE AND HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP ON THE SIDE. MY ENGINE/ BRAKES/ WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. GOT IT TOWED, THE SHOP MENTIONED THAT MY GAS PUMP BLEW.

TL *THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION WOULD TURN OVER BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE STARTED. THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER ADVISED THE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A MALFUNCTION IN THE FUEL PUMP INJECTOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,402 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,498.

A/C UNIT NEVER WORKED. RADIO UNIT NEVER WORKED. FUEL GAUGE WAS DEFECTIVE. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND UNUSED. *TR

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT IN REGARDS THE THE FUEL GAUGE/DISTANCE TO EMPTY METER. FEW WEEKS AGO IT STARTED TO MISSREAD. I FILL UP AND ITS ALREADY 2 BARS EMPTY. EVERYTIME I START THE CAR UP IT DROPS A BAR AND I'VE NOTICED A DRASTIC DROP IN THE DTE OF UP TO 50 MILES ON HIGHWAY TRAVELING OF ON 24 MILES. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND TRY TO SEE WHY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH LOTS OF PEOPLE AND THAT IT IS BEING LOOKED AT AS NORMAL. IF IT IS NORMAL IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE FOR NISSAN TO HAVE SENT A LETTER OR SOMETHING TO CAR OWNERS LETTING THE PUBLIC KNOW THAT IT IS HAPPENING AND THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THAT CAN REMEDY THE SITUATION. I HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE DAYS JUST TO FIND OUT THAT BASICALLY THE ONLY WAY IT WOULD BE CORRECTED WOULD BE IF NISSAN FOUND IT A RECALLABLE ITEM SINCE THERE IS NO CODE TO WORK WITH WHEN THEY PUT IT ON A MACHINE. I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A SAFETY ISSUE CAUSE ITS OBVIOUSLY MALFUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT, IF ITS NOT READING RIGHT IT COULD EASILY LEAD TO ME BEING STRANDED ON A HIGHWAY DUE TO INCORRECT FUEL READINGS. *CN

APPROXIMATELY JUNE OF 2004 MY SENTRA BEGAN TO HAVE EXTENDED CRANK TIMES TO START, ESPECIALLY AFTER SITTING FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL PUMP. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY UNDER WARRANTY. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED AGAIN UNDER WARRANTY. THE THIRD TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP UNDER WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THE SENTRA WAS 1500 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CAR IS NOW AT 82000 MILES AND THE BEGINNING TO HAVE LONG CRANK TIMES AGAIN. *TR

MY SON BOUGHT A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA S ON JULY 27, 2007. THIS VEHICLE HAS BROKE DOWN ON 08/03/07, 08/07/07, 08/10/00 AND AS OF TODAY IT IS STILL AT A NISSAN DEALER. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THREE TIMES THE WHILE DRIVING ALONG FOR NO REASON IT THE CAR SPEED DROPS TO 5 MPH. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT DEVELOPMENT AND NO OTHER TRAFFIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 5 MPH. NO FASTER. THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED MY SON HAD TWO CLIENTS IN THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. THE THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED MY SON AND I WERE RETURNING HOME. WE WERE TRAVELING UP A TWO LANE ROAD WITH MANY VEHICLES GOING BOTH WAYS, AS WE GOT HALF WAY UP THE HILL THIS HAPPENED AGAIN. WE HAD NO PLACE TO PULL OFF AND ALMOST GO HIT FROM BEHIND. THANK GOD THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET AROUND US. WE HAD TO PUT THE 4 WAYS ON AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO GO 5 MPH TO THE TOP OF THE HILL. STILL WITH NO PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD I TOLD MY SON TO DRIFT THE CAR DOWN THE HILL INTO OUR HOME TOWN. MY SON DRIVES THIS CAR ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS EVERY DAY TO GO TO WORK IF THIS HAPPENS ON THAT HIGHWAY WHILE EVERYONE IS GOING 65 MPH HE IS NOT GOING TO TIME TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN AND COMPLAINED AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM THAT WAS THE SECOND TIME IT BROKE DOWN. I FELL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO BE ON ANY HIGHWAY. *JB
