Sentra 4-cyl

  • miles
When the car reached 15-20 mph (the doors lock) a rattling, clunking noise occurs in the rear of the car. This happens every time the car is started and that speed is reached. I was told from the dealership this is normal.

Upon the car reaching 20 miles per hour the anti-lock brake system charges up. This creates a lot of noise and cause the accelerator and brake pedal to vibrate. This condition occurs once every ignition cycle.

problem #1

Sentra 4-cyl

  • 2,700 miles
The vehicle has had issues with ABS actuator making noises and vibrating. Dealership could find no problems, but referred to Nissan service bulletin. On February 2, 2011, I was traveling at approximately 20-25 mph. As I approached a red light I attempted to depress my brakes. At that time the pedal traveled more than 3/4 of the way to the floor almost instantly. There was a loud metallic clanking and grinding sound and a very strong vibration coming from under brake pedal. I almost lost control of my vehicle as it pulled to the left and almost traveled into the oncoming lane. After 2-3 seconds I regained the use of my brakes.
