2010 Nissan Sentra Engine

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, AND SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN, THE CAR WAS STILL IN MOTION WHEN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK BEFORE IT WOULD RESTART. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE GEAR SHIFTER TO PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE MENTIONED ABOVE, THE CAR STARTED FOR A BRIEF SECOND, THEN WOULD NOT RESTART AND NISSAN FOUND THE ISSUE TO BE THE ECM THAT WAS DAMAGED BY THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL. THIS ALSO MADE SENSE AS TO WHY WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD TO BUY NEW BATTERIES EVERY 1-2 YEARS, WHICH CAUSED ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES.THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GAINESVILLE NISSAN LOCATED AT (3915 N MAIN ST, GAINESVILLE, FL 32609) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AN ECM FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,668. *LN*JB

WAS DRIVING AND CAR SUDDENLY WOULDN'T ACCERLATE AND JERKING ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. TRIED TO DRIVE IT NEXT DAY BUT COULDN'T BECAUSE CAR WAS SHAKING BAD AND WOULDN'T MOVE

STARTED BACK IN THE BEGINNING OF 2019. I NOTICED THAT THE OIL HAS BEEN GOING DOWN AND NO EXTERNAL LEAK. I HAVE TO PUT 1/2 A QUART OF OIL A WEEK INTO THE ENGINE AT THIS POINT. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO RESOLVE FROM NISSAN.

WHILE DRIVING, MANY TIMES MY CAR LOSE POWER AND STALL OUT. RATE OF SPEED DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT WHETHER THE CAR STALLS. I HAVE TO THROW THE CAR IN PARK REAL FAST AND RE-CRANK IT AND IT TYPICALLY STARTS BACK UP. IF THE CAR WERE TO STALL OUT WHILE MAKING A TURN OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT IS CAUSING THIS, BUT I DID SEE A RECALL ONLINE THAT STATED THE BATTERY TERMINAL MIGHT BE THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL OPERATION.

I OWN THE SR TRIM WITH THE 2.0 LITRE ENGINE, I TOO EXPERIENCED THE VALVE KNOCKING AND IT WOULD TRIGGER A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO A NEAR BY NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THIS WAS AT 75,000 MILES. ON 12/12/2018 WITH NO WARNING THE ENGINE THROUGH A ROD ON THE LOWER PORTION OF THE ENGINE. I WAS DRIVING 30 MPH I HEARD A RATTLE AND A THUMP, EVERYTHING WENT DEAD ON THE VEHICLE.

IN THE COLDER WEATHER HAS A LIFTER NOISE ..AS IM LEARNING THE 2.0 NISSAN MOTOR HAS THAT PROBLEM ..I BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND DONT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AS THE CAR IS NOT WORTH IT. THE CAR HAS 70,000 MILES ON IT. I HEAR ALOT OF THE NISSAN SENTRAS DO THE SAME THING.WHY CANT THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ? IT MAKES THE NOISE WHEN MOVING OR IDLE

THE CAR STARTED MAKING A NOISE, TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE & THEY SAID IT WAS THE BELT TIGHTENER. THE CAR WAS HAVING A HARD TIME DRIVING UP HILLS ON THE WAY HOME AFTER GETTING THE PART. IT ACTUALLY STALLED OUT AT A RED LIGHT, MAKING IT VERY HARD TO BREAK. AFTER GETTING IT HOME & REPLACING THE PART THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. WE WERE GOING TO GO BACK TO AUTO ZONE TO SEE WHY & WHILE DRIVING ON THE WAY THERE A VALVE CAME SHOOTING THROUGH THE ENGINE. IT WAS QUITE ALARMING SOUNDED LIKE A SHOT GUN WENT OFF. WE PICKED UP THE BROKEN VALVE, PARTS OF IT LOOKED MELTED, & TOWED THE CAR HOME MAKING SURE NO CARS HIT US WE PUSHED THE CAR OFF THE RD. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT ON A HWY WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD & 11YR OLD.

MY PISTON ROD PENETRATED THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK. MECHANIC AT EMPIRE LAKEWOOD NISSAN STATED MY DRAIN PLUG WAS TIGHT, AND THE OIL LEVEL IS IN THE SAFE ZONE ON DIPSTICK. MY CAR HAS AN NISSAN EXTENDED GOLD PREFERRED WARRANT UNTIL 3/22/2017, AND HAS DECLINED THE REPAIR OF MY CAR SINCE I DID NOT HAVE ALL OIL CHANGES DONE AT A DEALERSHIP. STATING THEY CAN NOT VERIFY THE QUALITY OF WORK ON A NON-NISSAN FACILITY. I HAVE EXACTLY 31,749 MILES ON THIS CAR. ITS A 2010 NISSAN SENTRA PURCHASED BRAND NEW. MY CAR STARTING SMOKING, I STOPPED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY, AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST NISSAN DELEARSHIP AFTER HOURS.

WHILE DRIVING IT I RECEIVED THE SMELL OF COOLANT AND I STOPPED THE CAR TO CHECK AND I NOTICED THE LIQUID LEAKING THROUGH A PIPE IN THE ENTRANCE OF THE HEAD BLOCK WHERE THE ENGINE THERMOSTAT IS. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND DISCOVERED TINY NEEDLE POINT SIZE HOLES IN ONE OF THE TUBES. THESE HOLES WERE MADE FROM INSIDE OUT OF THE PART. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ONE OF THE CARS I HAVE HAD DOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I HAD TO BUY THE PART THAT COST ME $250.00. I THINK IT WAS DUE TO POOR MANUFACTURING MATERIALS.

CAR WOULD NOT START. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE RIGHT BATTERY CABLE CONNECTION AND TO JUST TIGHTEN IT. I HAD MY HUSBAND TIGHTEN IT AND IT DID START. THIS HAPPENED TWO ADDITIONAL TIMES AFTER THIS. THANKFULLY MY HUSBAND WAS WITH ME AND HE WAS ABLE TO JGGLE THE CABLE AND WE DID GET THE CAR STARTED. RECENTLY I WAS OUT ALONE SHOPPING LATE AT NIGHT COMING FROM THE MALL AND THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT START. HAD MY BROTHER IN LAW COME TO MY RESCUE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER SHIP TODAY TODAY AND I WAS ASSURED THAT THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I DROVE HOME AND THEN HAD TO GO BACK OUT FOR SOMETHING WE NEEDED FOR DINNER AND THE CAR AGAIN WOULD NOT START. I HAD JUST LEFT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE STATION. DID SOME FURTHER RESEARCH ON LINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE RECALL PARTS WONT BE DISTRIBUTED UNTIL 11/29. SO WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO IN THE MEANTIME. ALSO THIS ISSUE CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO STOP SUDDENLY AT LOW SPEEDS AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS NOT TO MENTION DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. WHY WAS I TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED WHEN I FOUND OUT THE RECALL PARTS WERE NOT EVEN AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE??? I DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND FEEL NISSAN SHOULD REPLACE THE VEHICLE FOR ME. I PURCHASED A NEW CAR SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING TO MY JOB ETC. I HAD A SEVERAL USED CARS THAT I PUT ALOT OF MONEY INTO AND DECIDED TO GO NEW TO GIVE ME SOME PIECE OF MIND.
