On multiple occasions upon entering the car, pressing on the brakes, and pushing the start button, the car will not start. I have to wait several minutes, sometimes as long as an hour and eventually the car starts. It starts after multiple attempts. This has happened late at night, since I travel and work multiple different shifts as a travel nurse. It's extremely scary to leave work in the middle of the night, get to the dark parking lot, and your car not start.

Purchased my car in Aug. Of 2017. Jan. 2018 was the first of 7 times I have taken my car in for the check engine light. Case is at Nissan North America in arbitration where they want to 'compensate' me $1500 to essentially shut my mouth. There is a significant lag in the acceleration not only from a standstill, but also while in motion trying to accelerate to higher speeds. The car will not go faster than 55 mph up a hill. When the car is on slight inclines the vehicle loses power in attempting to climb and the engine tachometer readings climbs well above the designed RPM specifications. This happens on level ground. When accelerated from 45 mph to 55 mph the tachometer would approach 6000 rpms prior to switching gear. It doesn't occur 100% of the time, the vehicle consistently reaches close to 6000 rpms prior to shifting to a higher gear. As I drive I also start to notice a burning smell. My car is consuming excessive fuel compared to another 'loaner' 2019 Nissan Sentra sv which has the same exact specifics. My car requires 3 times the fuel to drive a similar distance. When telling Nissan Consumer Affairs this I was told 'this is normal because my car is older and has more mileage on it.' Normal wear and tear over a 2 to 3 year period would not account for such a disparity in fuel mileage. Nissan tech support has physically gone to the dealership to try to fix my vehicle and I since taken it in on February 10 for the 7th time. Nissan called because my arbitration poc didn't call them like she was supposed to 4 days ago so now my vehicle sits at the dealership because they don't know how to fix it.. my vehicle is not safe to drive on a public roadway or to Transport my 8yo. I have submitted my case to the attorney general's office and BBB auto-line claim. I just want to be in a safe vehicle. I have all the service docs but file is too big to attach.

The idle on my 2017 Nissan Sentra sr turbo surges every now and then, and when it is below ~55 degrees outside, it feels like it runs rough when it is in neutral (6 speed manual).

Bought 2017 Nissan Sentra brand new from dealership and was very unfairly overcharged. I was charged $23,014.53 for a car that was only worth $16,000 and has so many issues. Gas tank sometimes will stop at 200 miles and will not fill up, speedometer shoots up and down while driving, speed does not stay at a certain speed and slows down automatically. The engine jerks and sputters while driving on freeways and streets.

When in a stationary position and off the car's automatic start will not start the car even when pressing on the brake petal and pressing the automatic start button. The car will cycle through the electronic warning on the dashboard to say - press the brake pedal and press the start button. The car will not start. Instead it will cycle through the radio coming on and the dash illuminating and then to off. The car will not start. It first occurred on 11/26/19, on two separate occasions. First occasion was attempting to leave our home garage. Second occasion was directly following occasion 1 as we attempted to leave the grocery store parking lot. The third was on 12/3/19, as we attempted to leave a metro parking garage. The vehicle will take 3-4 attempts and full cycles (5 minutes) to start the car.

While driving 60mph on the highway in the left lane, the car suddenly turned off. The instrument panel suddenly went dark, engine turned off, everything suddenly just shut off with no warning. We had difficulty maneuvering the car over to the right shoulder. After we pulled over it restarted & we were able to drive away. Ironically we had our 30,000 mile service the next day but Nissan said nothing is wrong. Online we've noticed previous years with the same problem but the tsb only covers Nissan up to 2016.

Brake pedal sensor is defective, it interemittently detects the brake pedal being pressed and allows the car to start. Sometimes the brake pedal will go completely to the floor and sometimes it woll not activate at all. Sometimes the brake light will not go out and the car will not start. Sometimes if I pump the brake pedal the light will go out and the car will start. Sometimes if I have the door open and press the pedal the car will start=, sometimes there is no problem at all

I"M documenting the scary situations I've experinced with my 2017 Nissan Sentra sr turbo. On 7/31/17 the vehicle started to stall at an intersection, then came to a complete stop. The engine turned off and I was left without any ability to controll the car. I was able to get it started again trying to make it back home it barely made it at a maximum speed of 10 miles/hr. It had to be towed to a dealer for serviced it was completelly undrivable. They said the battery needed to be replaced. I drove back to work after the repairs. That evening leaving work the same thing happened. Had to call again to have the car towed to the dealer again. The next day I got a call from the service person telling me the alternator had gone out, and that the part would take 2 weeks to come in. Meanwhile I contacted Nissan Corp. To le them know of the situation and the other various times I'd to bringin the car in for repairs since I purchsed it brand new in 1/14/17. I told them this car is putting my life and others in danger and that I belived it was a lemmon. A few days later I got a call telling me that my case had been moved up in their priority list, however they did't let me know that this situation was happening to other custormers. Last week I got a call telling me that Nissan Corp was in no possition to take the car back, but that they were willin to offer me either $1000 back or an extended warranty on the car of 100.000 miles/8 years, which at this point I'm not willingto comit to either one.
