2013 NISSAN SENTRA Service Brakes Problems

It was 108 degree outside at 4:30 pm in the zip code of 89052. At a sloped intersection on a major street I stopped for the light. When the light turned green I tried to accelerate the car, it failed to accelerate, the break did not function, and the steering was difficult. The car stalled. The car started rolling downhill. I was able to turn the car to the next street ~20 yards down the intersection. The street had no slope and no other cars at the time. The car eventually stopped. But that was a dangerous incident and it could be much worse.

WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, I PUSHED MY BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW FOR MY NEXT TURN. THE PEDAL WAS SLIGHTLY INEFFECTIVE, MEANING THE PRESSURE IN THE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND THE BRAKE DID NOT HALT MY CAR IN A SAFE TIMEFRAME. I HAD TO RELEASE AND PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN TO FEEL PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM, AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW JUST IN TIME TO MAKE MY NEXT TURN. THIS WAS DEFINITELY SCARY AS I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE BEFORE.

Mileage: 69,434

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR CONTINUES TO JERK AND JERK AS I TRIED TO GIVE THE CAR GAS. IT WOULD SPUTTER AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN JUMP REALLY QUICK. IT FINALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I GOT STUCK AT TWO LIGHTS! I FINALLY GOT MY DESTINATION AND GOT STUCK ON THE HILL. MY FOOT WAS ALL THE WAY ON THE GAS PEDAL AND SOME KIND GENTLEMEN PUSHED MY CAR UP THE HILL SO I COULD PARK IT. IT'S VERY SCARY AS I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AND FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN IT PUTS ALL OF OUR LIVES IN DANGER. I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ANY TIME O WOULD COME TO A STOP IT WOULD STALL AND IT WOULD NOW ALLOW ME TO TURN. THE ACCELERATION WOULD NOT WORK. I HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF TWICE TO TRY AND SEE IF IT WOULD RESTART AND GIVE ME ENOUGH PUSH TO MY DESTINATION. BUT AS STATED MY FOOT WAS COMPLETELY ON THE GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH!

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES TO STOP AND I HAD TO PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO ACTIVATE THE BREAKS. THIS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON MY WAY HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY EVENTUALLY DIAGNOSED THE CAR WITH A CRACKED MASTER CYLINDER. THE CAR IS ROUGHLY 5 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR PROBLEM THAT IT HAS HAD WITHIN THE MONTH - 1ST THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN 2ND THE BREAKS. THESE ARE 2 OF THE 3 MOST FREQUENTLY REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL. THE CAR IS UNDER 60K MILES. ACCORDING TO MOST SOURCES, THE MASTER CYLINDER IS SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. NISSAN REPORTS THAT NO RECALL/CUSTOMER EDUCATION HAS BEEN DONE FOR EITHER OF THOSE THINGS FOR THAT MAKE/MODEL. IT SEEMS IRRESPONSIBLE OF THEM.

MASTER CYLINDER. ON SATURDAY 1/27/18 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME AFTER MAKING A STOP AND THE BRAKES QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I FINALLY GOT HOME AFTER A STRESSFUL DRIVE. I TOOK MY CAR TO ONE SERVICE CENTER THE NEXT DAY (1/28) AND THEY TOPPED OUT THE FLUIDS BUT FOUND NOTHING ELSE WRONG. I GOT IN THE CAR TO DRIVE HOME AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THUS, ON MONDAY (1/29) I TOOK THE CAR TO A DOWNTOWN SERVICE CENTER (NON-NISSAN) AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD THAT ITEM REPLACED AT A COST OF $732. I THEN SENT A LETTER TO NISSAN REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND 67000 MILES. NISSAN SAID SINCE I DID NOT BRING IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEIR DIAGNOSTICS RUN THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME. HOWEVER, A WEEK OR TWO EARLIER I WAS AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A SHIFT LOCK PROBLEM AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS THEN. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND DID RUN DIAGNOSTICS. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AFTER THE MASTER CYLINDER ISSUE, I RECHECKED THAT REPORT AND IT INDICATED THE BRAKE FLUIDS WERE LOW. I ALSO CHECKED THE INTERNET AND RAN ACROSS SEVERAL REPORTS THAT TALKED ABOUT THIS SAME BRAKING ISSUE. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE I DID NOT BRING IT TO THEM. HOWEVER, SINCE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY I DO NOT ALWAYS TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP - I USUALLY TAKE IT TO A PLACE CLOSER TO MY WORK.

Mileage: 67,000

THE PEDAL HAD SOME TENSION BEHIND IT BUT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT, KIND OF SPONGY AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. SEVERAL PUMPS OF THE BREAK DID NOT RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT BRAKING SO I SPUN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO TRY TO AVOID THE CAR THAT WAS STOPPING, BUT COULD NOT CLEAR IT AND MY CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED AND I AM IN PAIN. AIRBAGS ALSO FAILED TO DEPLOY, AND I'D HAVE THOUGHT A 35 MPH CRASH SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT TO TRIGGER THE INERTIA SENSOR.

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA WITH 23442 MILES. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MONTHS AGO, MY BRAKE PEDAL STARTED ACTING WEIRD. WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO STOP OR WHEN TRAFFIC IS SLOW AND I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY STEP ON MY BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDAL LOOSES PRESSURE AND GOES FURTHER DOWN. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE TO REGAIN PRESSURE. IT CAME TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO ADJUST AND BRING MY SEAT FORWARD BECAUSE I'M TIP TOEING WHEN I BRAKE. ALSO, WHEN I'M ON FULL STOP, AFTER FEW SECONDS THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTS GOING DOWN. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND THEY TOLD ME ITS NORMAL AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING AS IT SUPPOSE TO BE. BUT I STILL DON'T THINK ITS NORMAL FOR MY CAR TO DO THAT. I HOPE NISSAN PAYS ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUE AND DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT.

BRAKES STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE.-DEALER CONTINUOUSLY DENIED HEARING ANYTHING WHEN THEY CLAIMED THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE. *AFTER SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALER THEY RESURFACED THE ROTORS TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, BUT ISSUE PERSISTED *NOISE FROM BRAKES GOT LOUDER- THEY FINALLY AGREED TO GO IN THE CAR WITH ME AND CONCLUDED THEY DID HEAR THE NOISE-CLAIMED IT WAS THE REAR BRAKES WHICH THEY CLAIMED THEY REPLACED *NOISE PERSISTED,MORE RETURN VISITS- THEY WENT BACK TO STATING THEY DIDN'T HEAR THE SOUND WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT. AT ONE POINT, THE SERVICE MANAGER ACTUALLY STATED I WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE. THAT I HAD TO TRY TO "BRAKE HARDER" AND "SLAM ON THE BRAKE" ONCE IN A WHILE TO "BREAK THE GLAZING" ON THE ROTORS? THEN HE SAID THEY WOULD NOT DO ANY MORE REPAIRS ON THE BRAKES, BECAUSE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THEM AND SAID I SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. *THEY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH A "DTS" , THEIR TECHNICAL EXPERT, TO MEET ME AT THE SAME DEALER. *THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD ONE OF THEIR MECHANICS DRIVE WITH ME WHILE THEY WAITED FOR THE DTS GUY TO COME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. MECHANIC WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME FOR MAYBE A MINUTE OR SO AND HEARD THE SOUND AS SOON AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND HE DETERMINED ISSUE WAS THE FRONT BRAKES. *DEALER SAID THEY WOULD ONLY LUBE THE FRONT BRAKES TO MAKE THE SOUND STOP. I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THIS AND NOW THEY SAY THEY ARE GOING TO NOW RESURFACE THE FRONT ROTORS AND CHANGE THE BRAKE PADS. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I AM AFRAID THIS IS NOT GOING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT'S ALL THEY ARE DOING ABOUT IT. SO AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF BACK AND FORTH THEY DON'T EVEN SEEM TO BE CONCERNED ON COMPLETELY CORRECTING THE ISSUE. I AM BECOMING MORE AND MORE CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND WANT TO MAKE SURE MY CAR IS NOT GOING TO PLACE ME AND MY CHILDREN IN DANGER.

ABOUT A FEW HOURS AFTER I SIGNED THE PAPERWORK AND DROVE OFF OF THE LOT WITH MY CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE, I HEARD A GRINDING SOUND (REAR BRAKES). I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER THAT DAY AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THERE WAS PROBABLY DEBRI DUE TO THE SNOW AND SAND ON THE ROADS. I DIDN'T HEAR THE SOUND AGAIN UNTIL MARCH, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I HAD THEM CHECK THE BRAKES AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING BALL BEARINGS, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BOTTOM LINE, IT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN MAY, WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE "KIT." THEY TOLD ME THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE ANYMORE PROBLEMS. I, IN FACT, DID HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. JUNE 1ST I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR A BRAKE ISSUE, THEY TOOK THE REAR SYSTEM APART INCLUDING THE WHEELS, ETC. THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND TO BRING IT BACK IF I HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. WELL, TODAY, I DROVE THE CAR AND THE GRINDING IN THE BRAKES IS WORSE THAN I'VE EVER HEARD IT BEFORE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER TOMORROW, TO SEE IF THEY CAN GET IT RIGHT THIS TIME. MY FRUSTRATION LEVEL IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH. I'M ANNOYED WITH THE SOUND AND I AM SURE EVERYONE AROUND ME WHO HAS TO HEAR IT, BUT I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHEN WE ARE IN THE VEHICLE.

BRAKES BEGAN SQUEAKING UPON BACKING UP WITH AROUND 4000 MILES. MY PERSONAL MECHANIC PASSED INSPECTION. WITH 8800 MILES, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 15 MPH ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES AND CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, AND THEN JERKED FORWARD AS IF BRAKES FAILED. I HAD TO PUT THE BRAKES TO THE FLOOR TO SLOW DOWN AND WAS THEN ABLE TO MAKE MY TURN. I DROVE A BIT MORE WITH NO PROBLEMS, BUT THIS WAS VERY FRIGHTENING AND WILL BE CALLING DEALER IN THE MORNING FOR FURTHER INSPECTION.

I PURCHASED A 2013 CERTIFIED PRE-OWENED NISSAN SENTRA IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 WITH 29K MILES AND LOVED IT, BUT A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO WE STARTED EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES. ANY TIME COMING TO A STOP, THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS LIKE IT HAS VERY LITTLE BRAKE PRESSURE AND THE PEDAL DEPRESSES TOO FAR DOWN ALMOST AS IF IT HAD AIR IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND WHILE PRESSING ON THE BRAKE, SECONDS LATER THE CAR STARTS MOVING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL LOOSES PRESSURE AND I HAVE TO PUSH MY FOOT FURTHER THAN NORMAL, EVENTUALLY MY FOOT IS NEAR THE FLOOR BOARD AND HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL TO REGAIN BRAKE PRESSURE. THIS PROVES TO BE VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU HAVE TO MAKE A SUDDEN STOP FOR AN EMERGENCY OR ARE GOING DOWNHILL AND COME TO A STOP BEHINDE ANOTHER VEHICLE. BEING THAT THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY HAVE SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT I WAS WELCOMED TO DRIVE A NEW CAR TO SEE THAT THE ISSUE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE NORMAL OPERATION. THAT ONLY PROVES TO ME THAT THE BRAKE PROBLEM IS STILL AN ISSUE AND NISSAN HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY STILL LOOKED AT MY BRAKES AND REPLACED FRONT AND REAR BRAKE PADS AS A PRECAUSIONARY MEASURE BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. I HAVE NEVER OWNED A NISSAN AND HAVE ALWAY OWNED AMERICAN MAKES, I FEEL GREATLY DISAPOINTED IN A COMPANY THAT CLAIMS TO VALUE SAFETY AND YET ALLOW THEIR CLIENTS TO BE DRIVING VEHICLES WITH SUCH A SERIOUS SAFTEY CONCERN. HAVING WORKED SERVICE FOR A DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST FOR MANY YEARS I RECOGNIZE THAT TECHNITIANS CAN HAVE THEIR HANDS TIED IF THE MANUFACTURER THAT ENGENIEERED THE VEHICLE DOESN'T PROVIDE A SOLUTION FOR THEM TO REPAIR A PROBLEM. IF YOU CAN PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS MATTER AND HOPE THAT NISSAN COULD CONSIDER FINDING A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM SOON.

WE BOUGHT A NEW 2013 NISSAN SENTRA FOR OUR DAUGHTER. IT IS ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH ABOUT 17,000 MILES ON IT. SHE WAS ON HER WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND HAD JUST ACCELERATED WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO STOP AGAIN. SHE SAID SHE TRIED TO STOP BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE. THEN SHE TRIED PUMPING THEM AND THEY LOCKED UP AND THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP. SO, SHE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER AND BOTH OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR WITH HER AND THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE OFFICER AT THE SCENE DIDN'T THINK THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED IN HIS EXPERIENCE WORKING ACCIDENTS. THERE WAS HARDLY ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CARS INVOLVED. MOST OF THE COST TO REPAIR IT WAS FROM THE AIRBAGS. I CONTACTED NISSAN BECAUSE I LEARNED THAT THE NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING THESE CARS FOR BRAKE PROBLEMS. I REQUESTED AN INSPECTION AND THEY SENT A "THIRD PARTY" INVESTIGATOR TO RETRIEVE THE DATA OFF THE EDR AND INSPECT THE CAR. OF COURSE, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THE DATA DID NOT SHOW ANY BRAKE FAILURE. ACCORDING TO NISSAN THEY FIND "NO BASIS TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER AT THIS TIME". I JUST WANT THEM TO ADMIT THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG AND BUY BACK THIS CAR. WHAT PARENT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD PUT THEIR CHILD BACK IN THAT CAR? BESIDES THAT, SHE'S SCARED AND REFUSES TO DRIVE IT. I DON'T THINK IT'S A COINCIDENCE THAT OTHER PEOPLE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S JUST A FEW, ARE DESCRIBING THE SAME THING THAT SHE DID. I GUESS THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS KILLED! *TR

I PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED NISSAN AND WHEN I DROVE IT THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE CAR WOULD LEAK FLUID. I TOOK IT IN TO NISSAN AND WAS TOLD IT WAS LOW ON BRAKE FLUID AND NEEDED TO BE REFILLED. THEY REFILLED IT AND ASSURED ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THREE WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING BEGAN TO HAPPEN. I TOOK IT BACK TO NISSAN AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE FLUID NEEDED TO BE REFILLED, WHICH DID NOT MAKE SENSE BECAUSE THE BRAKE FLUID SHOULD NEVER LEAK. AFTER DIAGNOSIS THEY FOUND OUT THAT MY ABS ACTUATOR WAS BROKEN AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS PART SHOULD NEVER BREAK, ESPECIALLY IN A CAR THAT IS SO NEW. FOR THREE MONTHS I WAS DRIVING AROUND A DANGEROUS CAR, AND MY BRAKES COULD HAVE GIVEN OUT AT ANY MOMENT. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND NISSAN HAS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BRAKES, AND THERE WERE SEVERAL NISSAN CUSTOMERS WHO SHARED THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. *TR

EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES, EVERY TIME I COME TO A STOP AND PRESS THE BRAKE AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR STARTS MOVING AND THE BRAKE PEDAL LOOSES PRESSURE AND I HAVE TO PUSH MY FOOT FURTHER THAN NORMAL, EVENTUALLY MY FOOT TOUCHES THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE AND I CAN'T PUSH THE BRAKE ANY FURTHER, SO I HAVE TO TAP THE GAS AND THEN RE-ENGAGE THE BRAKE AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF YOU ARE GOING DOWNHILL AND COME TO A STOP. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR NUMEROUS TIMES, THAT IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT THAT ITS BECOME AN INCONVENIENCE TO ACTUALLY OWN THE CAR, TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE NISSAN I PURCHASED (NISSAN OF BERGENFIELD IN NEW JERSEY) AND THEY HAVE SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR, THEY LOOKED AT THE BRAKES AND EVEN APPLIED MORE PRESSURE ON THE LINES BUT STILL THE ISSUE PERSISTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A COMPANY THAT VALUES SAFETY WOULD ALLOW THEIR CLIENTS TO BE DRIVING VEHICLES WITH THIS FAULT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THEY ARE WAITING FOR IN ORDER FOR THEM TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT SAFE BY ANY MEANS, SPECIALLY FOR MY FAMILY WHO I HAVE TO DRIVE AND PICK UP TO AND FROM WORK. I HAVE ALSO SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT HAVE YET TO COME TO A RESOLUTION. IF YOU CAN PLEASE OPEN AN INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS MATTER. PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY NEED. *TR

PURCHASED A NISSAN CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE NISSAN SENTRA 2013. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE 10014. BOUGHT VEHICLE FROM HAWTHORNE NISSAN HAWTHORNE NJ. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 7 MONTHS. BRAKES WERE SQUEAKING. MECHANIC STATES THE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT ALREADY. DAMAGE WAS DOWN TO 1/2 INCH PAST THE RED MARKER. IF MY DAUGHTER WAS TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. I KNOW OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED ON THIS PLEASE LOOK IN TO THIS MATTER. I AM FEARFUL FOR HER TO DRIVE IT EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR. SHE ONLY PLACED AN ADDITIONAL 3000 MILES SINCE OUR PURCHASE IN APRIL. *TR

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE. ALSO THE CAR DID NOT BEGIN TO STOP. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO NOTICE "NORMAL" OPERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I AM WORRIED IT WILL HAPPEN AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT DUE TO INOPERABLE BRAKES. *TR

DRIVING HOME ON LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY AFTER WORK, IT WAS RUSH HOUR, THE TRAFFIC MOVE SLOW. ONE EXIT BEFORE I SHOULD GET OFF HIGH WAY, NOTICED SOMETHING DIFFERENT WHEN STEPPED ON BRAKES, IT WAS LOOSE, THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE AND THE CAR DIDN'T RESPOND, EITHER TOOK LONG TIME TO SLOW DOWN A LITTLE BIT OR NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAVE NO EXPERIENCES AT ALL AND IT DIDN'T REGISTER IN MY HEAD IT WAS THE BRAKES, I EVEN THOUGHT MAYBE I WAS TOO TIRED AND MY JUDGMENT WAS OFF. I CONTINUED DRIVING IN THE VERY SLOW TRAFFIC. SOON AT THE EXIT, I HAD TO PICK UP THE SPEED A LITTLE BIT TO MERGE INTO THE SERVICE ROAD. THEN I REALLY REALIZED THE BRAKES NOT WORKING, BECAUSE I CAN'T STOP THE CAR AT THE INTERSECTION TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE LIGHT TURN ORANGE AT THE MOMENT, I HAD NO CHOICE, TURNED LEFT , THE CAR CONTINUED AND SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT, JUST WONDERING WHAT TO DO AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION , THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT WAS ON AND I TURNED THE CAR TO THE LEFT ONTO THE SERVICE ROAD AGAIN. I WAS CLOSE TO HOME ALREADY. AT THAT MOMENT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, THINKING IF I CAN'T STOP THE CAR AT LEAST I SHOULD KEEP IT AT VERY LOW SPEED , APPROXIMATELY LESS THAN 5 MILES. AT THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR MANAGED TO STOP. I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY AT THE LOWEST SPEED AND STOPPED NATURALLY OR THE BRAKES STILL HAD A LITTLE CONTROL. FOR THE WHOLE TIME , SINCE I WAS VERY SCARED AND PANIC, I NEVER REALIZED I SHOULD FORCED THE CAR STOP WITH THE EMERGENCY HAND CONTROL BRAKE OR JUST SWITCHED TO PARKING POSITION. AFTER I PASSED THE TRAFFIC LIGHT, I REMEMBERED AND PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PARKED MY CAR. THEN I CALLED GEICO INSURANCE AND AAA TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST NISSAN SERVICE CENTER. IT ALL HAPPENED BETWEEN 5:30-7:30 PM. THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER ALREADY CLOSED THE BUSINESS HOUR. *TR

WHILE WAITING AT THE STOP LIGHT, THE CAR HAD BEGAN MOVING FORWARD, I NOTICED THE RELEASE OF THE PRESSURE OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND BEGIN TO PRESS HARDER TO STOP THE CAR. IT OCCURRED AGAIN, THIS TIME I PRESSED HARDER AND NOTICE THE PRESSURE WAS COMPLETELY RELEASED AND HAD TO FLOOR THE BRAKE PEDAL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH THEY PERFORMED A MULTI-POINT INSPECTION AND PERFORMED A FEW RECALLS (I.E. A/C AND AIRBAGS), CHECKED BRAKE FLUID, BRAKE LINE AND MASTER CYLINDER WHICH APPARENTLY PASSED THEIR TEST. WHILE PICKING UP THE VEHICLE, WE PERFORMED A TEST DRIVE AND NOTICE THE PRESSURE WAS FINE. AFTER DRIVING MY CAR FOR A FEW DAYS, AGAIN I STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE ISSUE BEGAN AGAIN. THIS TIME, THE BRAKE PEDAL FLOORED ITSELF AND DID NOT COME UP UNTIL I HAD TO TAKE THE TIP OF MY SHOES TO PUSH IT UP. *TR

EVERY SINCE I HAVE HAD THE 2013 NISSAN SENTRA THE BRAKES MAKE AN EXTREMELY LOUD SOUND WHEN APPLIED. THE DEALER INSISTS THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THEM BUT, I BEG TO DIFFER. THE LOUD SCRUBBING SOUND WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED IS NOT NORMAL FOR ANY NEW CAR. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

I WAS OPERATING A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND I PLACED MY FOOT ON BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELLED TO THE FLOOR. I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AND BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES WERE GOOD. THE CAR WASN'T LEAKING ANY FLUIDS. I THEN CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY ADVISED I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THEM TO CHECK IT. WHILE TAKING THE VEHICLE HOME FRO OUT TRIP THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. IT WAS VERY FRIGHTENING TO THINK THAT THIS PROBLEM JUST STARTED WHILE DRIVING. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS AND NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION SO NOBODY IS HURT OR KILLED. THIS CAR IS CURRENTLY AT NISSAN BEING REPAIRED. I SPOKE WITH NISSAN AND THEY WOULD NOT INFORM ME OF ANY PROBLEMS.....MADE ME FEEL LIKE THEY ARE COVERING UP A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *JS

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN APRIL. TWO MONTHS LATER I REALIZED THAT WHEN IN DRIVE WHEN I SET MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE I WOULD HEAR A GRINDING NOISE IN THE BACK OF THE CAR. WHEN I WOULD PUT IT IN REVERSE THE NOISE WOULD NOT OCCUR. IT WAS ALWAYS WHEN I WOULD HIT THE BREAKS UNTIL THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT WOULD NOT MAKE THE NOISE WHEN I HIT THE BREAKS SUDDENLY. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN AND BROUGHT IT IN FOR THEM I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FLUID PROBLEM. AFTER 2 WEEKS THE NOISE BEGAN AGAIN, NOW IT HAS STOPPED AND GOES ON AND OFF. ALSO I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE INDICATOR FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WILL BE OFF AT TIMES WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT SITTING IN THE SEAT. THIS ALSO HAPPENS ON AND OFF. I HAVE HAD IT THOUGH, WHERE THE INDICATOR HAS COME ON SAYING THE AIR BAG IS OFF FOR 3 DAYS IN A ROW, HAVING SOMEONE SITTING IN IT. THE THIRD PROBLEM IS THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID DOES NOT SPRAY CORRECTLY. IT POOLS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD AND SO IT DOES NOT CLEAN IT CORRECTLY. FINALLY THE LAST PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE AMOUNT OF MILES I GET ARE DIFFERENT EVERY TIME. I HAVE A PARTICULAR ROUTINE EVERYDAY AND EVERY WEEKEND. AT TIMES IT SEEMS I HAVE MORE GAS THAN WHEN I HAVE FILLED IT UP BEFORE. WHEN I HAVE USED THE ECO BUTTON AT TIMES, IT SEEMS THAT ONCE IN A WHILE IT WILL WORK THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TOO. MOST OF THE TIME IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR JUST GUZZLES GAS MORE THAN USUAL. *TR

CONTINUED TO DRIVE AND THEN RIGHT REAR BRAKE STARTED TO SQUEAK, WHICH TURNED INTO A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. GOT THE CAR TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, AND UPON INSPECTION SAID THAT THE REAR BRAKES HAD FAILED AND NEEDED NEW DRUMS AND PADS! 11K MILES ON DRUM REAR BRAKES SHOULD NOT RESULT IN FAILURE.

IT WASN'T, I TOOK BACK A SECOND TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD TO PUT SOME MORE LUBE ON IT. WELL THAT WORKED FOR A LITTLE BIT. NOW I CAN'T BACK UP WITHOUT THE BRAKES SQUEAKING LIKE CRAZY, THE GRINDING IS BACK AND NOW WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL YOU HEAR A CLUNKING NOISE. ALSO THE BRAKE PADS ARE ALREADY WORN.... ON AN 8 MONTH OLD CAR! I HAVE EMAILED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND WAITING FOR A REPLY. I AM FILING A REPORT TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND NISSAN. IF THIS IS NOT FIXED I PLAN TO USE THIS LEMON LAW. I HAVE ALL THE NOISE RECORDED ON VIDEO AND KEPT ALL THE RECORDS OF WHEN THE CAR WENT IN. THE BRAKES WEARING OUT THIS FAST IS RIDICULOUS ON A NEW CAR! IF THE BRAKES FAIL, I COULD GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THEN IT'S MY FAULT. OH AND AS FOR THE SQUEAKING OF THE BRAKES, "IT'S A CASE BY CASE ISSUE." WHICH MEAN IT COULD TAKE AT LEAST A MONTH BEFORE IT IS REPAIRED. BUT THE DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME THAT NO OTHER DAMAGE WILL BE DONE.... THEN WHY ARE THINGS GETTING WORSE! *TR

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP ON THE SAFETY COMPLAINT I PREVIOUSLY FILED ON 6/2/2013, WHEN MY SENTRA 2013 SUDDENLY HAD BIG GRINDING NOISE ON THE PASSENGER REAR WHEEL WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL DECELERATING THE CAR. AFTER HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE LOCAL DEALER, THE DEALER DIAGNOSTIC AND CONFIRMED THE REAR BRAKE BROKE APART INSIDE THE REAR BRAKE DRUM DAMAGED BRAKE SHOE, BRAKE SELF-ADJUSTED ASSEMBLY, ANTI-SHOE RATTLE CLIP AND PIN. THOUGH NISSAN COVERED THE REPAIR, REPLACEMENT PARTS, AND TOWING COST, IT STILL COST ME ONE DAY OFF WORK AND THE CAR HAD TO SIT AT THE DEALER COUPLE DAYS WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. I THEN LOOKED UP THE INTERNET AND FOUND THE SENTRA 2013 REAR BRAKE PART DIAGRAM (SEE LINK BELOW). WHAT REALLY SCARE ME IS THE NEW 'U' SHAPE ANTI-SHOE RATTLE SPRINGS / CLIPS (INSTEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL CIRCLE / WASHER SHAPE ONES TYPICALLY FOUND ON MOST VEHICLES) THAT ARE USED TO LOCK THE BRAKE SHOES IN PLACE WITH THE ANTI-SHOE RATTLE PINS. THESE U-SHAPE ANTI-RATTLE SHOE SPRINGS MIGHT COME OFF IF THE CAR RUNNING ON BAD ROADS OFTEN OR BIG BUMPS OVER THE TIME. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY ON SENTRA 2013 REAR BRAKE AND HOPING SOMEONE COULD INVESTIGATE TO PREVENT FUTURE SAFETY ISSUES. ----- HTTP://WWW.ENISSANPARTS.COM/NISSANPARTS/INDEX.CFM?BODYCOLOR=&TRIMCOLOR=&BODY=4S&ENGINE=MRA8DE&AREA=CAL&GRADE=S&TRANS=CVT&ACTION=REPLACEMENT&GROUPID=H&SECTIONID=441&PARTCODE=&JOINTVEHID=17659&MAKEID=25&SITEID=216803&ILLUST_SEQ=01&PARTNUMBER=PART+NUMBER&DESCRIPTION=KEYWORD. *TR

THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED BUT FAILED TO DISENGAGE. THE REAR BRAKE MADE ALSO EXHIBITED A LOUD METAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE AN INSPECTION WAS PERFORMED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE REAR BRAKE BAND WAS DEFECTIVE AND CAUSED THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM NOT TO RELEASE. THE DEALER CLEANED AND GREASED THE REAR BRAKES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE REAR BRAKES STILL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE WHEN ACTIVATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,518.

MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA WITH 142 MILES ALREADY HAS PROBLEM WITH THE SERVICE BRAKES. I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHILE WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE I NOTICED THAT MY CAR STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD. MY FIRST REACTION WAS TO PRESS A LITTLE BIT HARDER ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR STOPPED, BUT A FEW SECONDS LATER THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE AGAIN. I KEPT PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL A LITTLE BIT HARDER EVERY TIME IT STARTED TO MOVE, UNTIL THE PEDAL REACHED THE MAXIMUM TRAVEL, ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM. EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM, THE CAR KEPT ON MOVING FORWARD. AT THAT MOMENT I WAS INCHING AWAY INTO THE INCOMING TRAFFIC, SO I HAD TO PULL THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE CAR FROM MOVING FORWARD. THIS INCIDENT WAS VERY SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST. NOW MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAITING FOR A NEW MASTER CYLINDER. WHAT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND IS HOW SUCH AN IMPORTANT / CRITICAL SYSTEM OF A BRAND NEW CAR COULD FAIL IN 4 DAYS, AND LESS THAN 150 MILES. ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED ANYTHING LIKE THIS? *TR

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL DECELERATING THE CAR, THE CAR SUDDENLY HAD A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE ON THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL, LIKE THE BRAKE ROTOR GRINDING AGAINST SOME METAL PARTS THAT BROKE LOOSE INSIDE. AFTER STOPPING THE CAR INSPECTING PASSENGER REAR WHEEL AND FOUND NOTHING, I GOT BACK TO THE CAR SLOWLY ACCELERATING IT. THE LOUD GRINDING NOISE GOT WORSE AND I FELT THE BRAKE PEDAL KINDA LIGHT (LIKE NOT ALL 4 BRAKES ARE BEING APPLIED). I SUSPECT THE BRAKE SHOES OR COMPONENTS BROKE APART INSIDE THE BRAKE DRUM OF THE REAR WHEEL (PASSENGER SIDE). FORTUNATELY, I WAS AT SLOW SPEED (20-30MPH) AND ONLY ONE BLOCK AWAY FROM HOME. WILL HAVE IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AS I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 7-8 MONTH FROM BRAND NEW. SINCE THIS IS AN ALL-NEW DESIGN 2013 SENTRA, I AM CONCERN THIS IS A FLAW ON THE BRAKE DESIGN THAT COULD CAUSE EXTREME DANGEROUS HAZARDS ON THE ROAD. THOUGH MY CAR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURER 36-MONTH BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, I AM STRONGLY ASKING TO HAVE THE REAR BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE 2013 NISSAN SENTRA INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED / CORRECTED IF NECESSARY. THIS WOULD HELP NOT ONLY PROTECT MY FAMILY, MY INVESTMENT, BUT ALSO OTHERS FROM RUNNING INTO THE SAME INCIDENT OPERATING THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IN THE FUTURE. *TR

EXTREMELY LOUD INCREASING GRINDING REAR DRUMS BRAKES NOISE, WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES THE LOCAL SALE DISTRIBUTOR DEALER REPRESENTATIVE TELL ME THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR THAT YET. THERE MAY BE A DEATH RISK CONCERN BECAUSE ARE THE BRAKES OF THE CAR ........... *TR

THE PASSENGERS SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT RECOGNIZE WHEN THERE IS SOMEONE SITTING AND WILL NOT ACTIVATE. I TOOK THE CAR TO SERVICE AND THE GUY TOLD ME THAT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS TOO SKINNY AND MAYBE THE SENSOR DID NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THERE WAS SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY SITTING IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IN A CAR ACCIDENT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT WORK. THE CAR ALSO HAVE AN ANNOYING NOISE EACH TIME I HIT THE BREAKS IN THE BACK RIGHT SIDE OF THE CAR. IT HAVE BEEN 3 MONTHS AND 3 SERVICE VISITS AND SEVERAL CALLS TO SERVICE, DISTRIBUTORS, ETC. AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN ANSWER ON HOW OR WHEN THEY WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP USING THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT THE BRAKES HAVE GONE BLANK TWICE MAKING ME VERY NERVOUS OF USING THE CAR. STILL NO ANSWER FROM NISSAN. *TR
