Sentra

  • 115,000 miles
On June 18 2019 I was driving 55 mph on the belt line in madison, wi. With my newborn daughter. When all of a sudden the car started lurching, I had no control. In heavy traffic I was afraid of causing in accident. The brakes were hard and if I pushed on the gas it started lurching out of control. I was finally able to pullover and noticed the voc light was on. I pushed the voc button to turn it off. But it wouldn't turn off. I called my father larry. He told me to turn off the car wait a minute. Turn it back on. To see if the voc would reset. It did reset. The problem continues I taken my car into different locations for inspection. I see a lot of people have the same problem on this website. However my car does not fall into the recall. Why? it affects steering (lack of) brakes (non existent) gas (causes lurching). Very dangerous for me & my newborn. Not to mention those around me. My car has 115,000 miles.

Sentra 4-cyl

  • 120,000 miles
I am wanting to file a complaint and not sure how. I have a 2011 Nissan Sentra with a little over 120,000 miles and had to get a new fuel injector replaced today. My mechanic gave me the original part showing the back end and it looks like it eroded at the electrical end of the injector with no apparent reason. I believe this is gross negligence on the part of the manufacturer and would like to see how to go about filing a complaint to get this investigated. Thank you for your help and time.
