2018 Nissan Sentra Other Problems

Your car won't start when you press the push-button ignition switch while applying the brake pedal. The dealership identified that your stop lamp switch is faulty — this is a known issue affecting 2016-2019 Sentras where silicon contamination builds up on the switch, preventing it from working properly. You may also notice your ABS or Vehicle Dynamic Control warning lights turning on, and your rear brake lights might not illuminate, which is a safety concern. Nissan issued a recall (PM971) to replace the defective stop lamp switch.

Your dashboard has multiple warning lights on—including the ABS, skid control, brake, and warning lights—and they stay on continuously, making you afraid to drive the car. You've had the wheel speed sensors replaced twice based on diagnostic checks from two different shops, but the lights remain on. The issue needs proper diagnosis to identify what's actually causing all these warning lights to stay illuminated, which may involve testing the ABS system, brake switch, or electrical connections.

Your gas pedal sinks to the floor and your car won't accelerate or move. This suggests a problem with your accelerator system, throttle cable, or fuel delivery that's preventing your engine from responding to pedal input.

Transmission went in my 2018 Nissan Sentra, haven’t had it long

nothing is wrong with the car

1. The transmission is the component that failed/malfunctioned. 2. The car started jerking and hesitating on the highway and then stopped accelerating. 3. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. 4. No, it has only been inspected by a licensed repair shop specializing in transmissions. 5. There were no warning lamps until the issue was happening. The check engine light came on and started flashing.

I would be driving and then the car would not want to pull after I would wait awhile it would start back driving. The most recent incident was I was driving and stopped at a light and accelerated to pull off and the car started moving and then stopped in the middle of the street. After a while it started back driving so I took it to get check and was told my transmission was gone. I did do a check on this site and saw where transmissions were recalled for nissan sentra for the following years 2014 to 2017.I feel if there was an issue with the transmissions in those car why would they not recall all the cars from that year on to have the transmission fix. I spent 3,852 dollars to have a new transmission put in my car which i feel is totally uncalled for.

When I try to start my car all the dash lights and power come on but the vehicle will not start.

I was accelerating then lost power and car failed to go into gear so no drive or no reverse

I received a recall notice (PM971) (21V-135) on May 4, 2021. I went twice to the dealership to have my car fixed. I called several times asking what to do to get the recall completed. One person said they needed to look at it to get the part. I went to the dealership on May 24, 2021 and I am still waiting for them to call me telling me that they have the part. Meanwhile, I am having lots of trouble stepping on the brake to start the car. Frequently it takes me up to 10 minutes before I can get the car started. Yesterday (9/19), I gave up trying to start the car. Today, (9/20) I had problems each time I tried to use the car, taking 5-10 minutes each time. The first time I went to the dealership, the technician said he didn't know why the notice was sent out because they didn't have the parts. The dealership is Ray Brandt Nissan 4000 Lapalco Blvd., Marrero, LA 70072. I could not evacuate for Hurricane Ida because I could not be sure that I would be able to start my car or that my brake lights would work in stop an go traffice. My car is my only means of getting to work and accomplishing other tasks. I cannot continue to hope that my car will eventually start and hoping that my brake lights continue to work. Your help is appreciated.

When I push the brakes and start button, all lights come on, navi starts, but Car Does NOT start. I am stranded for 6th or 7th time and waiting on tow truck. According to this link, this is a recurrent problem Nissan is aware of, and they do nothing to fix it. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-c27227_ds963428 Being stranded is dangerous-PERIOD. I am enduring a homeless man yelling at me while I sit in my car with doors locked. Nissan should recall this car. 2018 Sentra SV with push start is Not safe.
