I purchased my 2005 Nissan Sentra from a private seller in 2007 with the total mileage of 9,100. After six months of driving the service light came on and I took it to my mechanic whom I have used for all my automobiles. I was told the seal on the vapor hose was loose and he could tighten it, but it would only be a temporary fix. The cost to repair the seal was out of my price range. Since 2007 the service light on my dash would light up intermittently whether the vehicle was in motion or stationary. I would have to wait for the light to switch off before I could go for an inspection sticker. A couple of times the inspectors at the station told me of the vapor leak and were nice enough to tighten the seal to the vapor hose so the car could pass inspection. To date the seal on the vapor hose has not been repaired and I am concerned about a fire hazard. It is understood that the VIN on this specific 2005 Nissan Sentra does not fall under the NHTSA campaign #05V269000 for the fuel tank vapor hose. What I do not understand is why this vehicle is having this specific problem. And it is a problem. Started 01/07/2010

Car is stationary, turned off, at gas station with keys removed. Happens once or twice a year.

My daughter was driving down the freeway and slowed down going so me ral road tracks and the. Car stalled, it scared her a lot being she was on the freeway, she was abel to pull over half scared to death because the steering wheel got stiff not knowing the car had stalled and as you know when a car stalles and your ignition is on on all your warning lights cycle in the middle of a busy freeway, she was very fortunate she did not have a accident, this happened all of a sudden, had never done it before, my son took it to get it checked at a parts store and said it had a bad battery so he replaced it. She's a college student, after night class was going back to her apartment, getting off the freeway on to the ramp came to a light and turned green so she did not have to stop as she was turning car stalled again in the middle of the intersection, she panicked because she thought a car or truck would rear end her in the middle of the intersection. Car stalled and did not want to start for a few minutes until it finally srated and was able to get home. Did ot want to take any chances took it to the dealer next day and diagnostic was the crankshaft sensor was bad, seems to be working fine, I hope she does not have to go through that experience ever again. What really bothers me is that she could of had a very serious accident and now I go online and find out that there is hundreds of people going through the same experience and Nissan does not cover this defect that they say only certain models or engine size were in there recall cost over $300 dollars to get it fixed, plus my car also has a other defect witch some times has a hard time starting because fuel pump looses pressure, they say there is a repair kit you can buy to fix the problem, but it is a defect and should be recalled, it cost about thorpe same amount as if you were to replace the whole fuel pump.

NHTSA action number: RQ06001 requires Nissan to fix the recalled crankshaft sensor in our car because the part has been recalled for safety reasons, however Nissan refuses to fix this problem. It is unsafe to drive and needs to be fixed.

- Ogden, UT, USA

Cannot fill gas tank normally. With a 1/4 tank, there is back-fill that causes the gas pump to 'click' off as if it is full. Other times, you hear the 'swooshing' sound of a back-fill, and gas has come flying back out at me while 'attempting' to put gas in the car - severe hazard!!! checked the code and sure enough, like thousands of others, voila - it's the evap canister vent valve malfunction... in this case, it's 'closed'. it can take up to 8 minutes to put 2 gallons worth of gas in, needless to say, vapor fumes are strong, and gas dribbles out. Filling up this vehicle is a pain in the _____. It appears to be a well documented issue with Nissan vehicles and it appears to me, Nissan does not want to take care of this issue.
