While driving 55 mph vehicle stalled. The consumer was able to pull the vehicle off of the road. The dealer and manufacturer had been notified. The service dealer couldn't find why the vehicle stalled so he concluded that the fuel pump was the problem. The vehicle still did not start even after a new fuel pump was installed. On another occasion the consumer was told that the ECM module was the problem. Recall# 03V477000. The vehicle pulled to the right, the A/C, horn, and the third brake light was inoperative. Recall# 01V174000. The consumer also lost control of the vehicle and hit a guard rail. The front rotors were warped.

problem #1

May 272000

Sentra

  • miles
After approximately 30 minutes of driving, despite adjusting every control possible, the air conditioner ceased working. While stopped for lunch, gas refill, etc. And the car had been off for more than 5 minutes, upon start up it would attempt to cool, but the attempts failed and as a result blew out only hot air. This occured during a driving trip to/from dallas over memorial day weekend, so it was not an intermittent problem, it was constant, despite all the control adjustment attempts. When taking it to the dealer the day after I returned, I detailed the problem and said, don't call me and tell me it must be intermittent because you didn't find anything wrong because you won't since it only occured on the long trip. Surprise, that's what they told me and they cannot run a dye test through the component to see what failed until a Nissan representative replicates the problem. The mechanic test drove it for 20 miles and the problem didn't surface, which it wouldn't according to my experiences. Now, the dealer is sending it home with an employee who commutes 50 miles or so each day to see if it replicates before they can run any other diagnostic (dye) test. The write up manager was sure the mechanic had called Nissan and they had not seen this problem before. Tomorrow, May 31, I should have more information for you on this problem if you would like to hear the result.
