Lets start with the small stuff first: The trunk will no longer pop open from the button in back of the car (only from key and inside the car), also will tend to open while I am driving which is a significant driving hazard. The handle of the driver door is broke, no longer can I lock or open the car from the button on the door. Now to the unsafe and biggest problem of all: Transmission/engine issues. On numerous occasions in the past year my car has stalled out while I was driving the car! not only did I go to the dealership numerous times for the same issue but I also had my transmission replaced (while it was still under warranty) and the problem still continues. This is an ongoing known issue with this vehicle and it should absolutely be recalled immediately. I do not understand why no one of authority has taken responsibility for these hazardous issues. It is completely unsafe and unreliable. I have many videos describing my issues along with conversations with a Nissan representative from headquarters and employees from the dealerships. I have always experienced problems with my car (even within the first couple months of purchasing it). It is not allowing me to attach documents, please let me know where they can be sent!

The engine light is on, every time I step on my gas it jerks back speed is slow also especially driving up hill makes it slower. I get leakage of oil when I just gotten oil changed not to long ago. I'm afraid my Nissan Sentra will lose engine power anytime soon.

I rented this vehicle from budget rental cars and was driving on interstate 435 going 65 miles an hour. I heard and felt a "pop" and my power steering failed. I was within.1 miles of an exit and was able wrestle the steering wheel to the side of the road to safely stop. I am not sure if a women like my wife would be able to control the car if she were the driver. After I stopped and turning the car off, the ps light (that light at the time of the incident) turned off and power steering returned. I refuse to drive the car and awaiting a rental exchange. Very unsafe set of circumstances.
