2026 NISSAN SENTRA

Filed May 27, 2026


Reverse camera is very blurry. You have to squint your eyes to see what the object is when reversing. Daylight helps a little but but at nights it's pretty much faulty. I have attached some pictures, however, the AI features of my phone make the image better than it really is. The car was sold like this, and the consesionary told me that other cars, not just mine, camera was faulty. Please help, this looks worse than the camera of a 2015 ford fusion.

Several issues since purchasing vehicle. The front collision sensor malfunction. Came to an abrupt stop several times while on the freeway due to failed sensor. Narrowly avoided major collisions. Also, have had to replace batter every year along with brakes and tires. My suspension is awful. The brakes are crap and have consistently had to address worn tires in one side. Electric panel shit off and key fob malfunctions. So many issues and so much unnecessary repairs with no real results

2022 NISSAN SENTRA

Filed May 26, 2026


While driving in rush hour traffic, I heard an intermittent vibration/noise that seemed to come and go and became louder when I stopped. As I put my car in park when I got home, I heard a loud clunk and the battery light came on. When I popped the hood, we saw metal shavings flying around. The dealer diagnosed the alternator and provided a quote for replacement. I am concerned the failure could have caused a loss of power while driving and caused an accident in heavy traffic. The vehicle and…

Nissan previously issued safety recall campaign PM985 for bent inner tie rods on certain Sentra vehicles from the same model year. Two separate repair facilities inspected my vehicle and confirmed problems involving the inner tie rods and steering system components. No warning lamps or dashboard messages appeared prior to the issue being identified. Although my VIN may not currently be included…

Filed May 20, 2026


When I was driving through a residential neighborhood going about 30 mph the hood latch assembly snapped right there where it is bolted down to the frame which entailed smashed my windshield and dented my hood so therefore I don't feel I should be held responsible to replace them if it wasn't an act due cause of me. I feel that the hood latch assembly failed on your guys's end so it must be a faulty part on my car. I feel like then you should be responsible for not only replacing my whole life…
