Many consumers buy Nissan Sentras because of their reliability, high performance, modern designs, and impeccable gas mileage. More importantly, Nissan Sentras are known for high safety ratings and comfort.
Even so, vehicle owners have lodged numerous complaints about transmission failure, fuel system defects, service brakes, and engine defects. Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) periodically issues recalls to fix the defect.
Although the recalls are primarily effective, some issues are persistent.
Consider speaking to a trusted Anaheim, CA, lemon law attorney to understand how to protect your rights.
On June 12, 2023, Nissan issued a recall to fix certain 2022 Sentra vehicles with a defect of the improperly sealed driver-side cowl area. According to the recall notice, the driver’s side cowl area may have a missing or improper seal that can allow water to leak inside the vehicle, causing corrosion of electrical components.
Corrosion of electrical components affects various electrical systems, such as exterior lighting, airbags, and brake pedals. Nissan instructed the dealers to reseal the driver’s side cowl and replace the main harness and engine room if they find moisture or corrosion in the main harness or engine room.
On June 17, 2021, Nissan issued a recall affecting certain 2020-2021 Sentra vehicles. According to the notice, the left or right tie rods may be bent. Unfortunately, a bent tie rod may break, leading to loss of vehicle control and increasing the likelihood of a crash.
Nissan instructed the dealers to inspect the defective left or right tie rods and replace them if necessary.
On 3rd March 2021, Nissan issued a notice to recall certain 2016-2019 Nissan Sentra vehicles. According to the notice, the brake light may be contaminated, preventing the circuit from closing and the brake lights from illuminating.
The failure of the brake light to illuminate increases the risk of a crash. Dealers may replace the brake light switch and install a protective gourmet free of charge.
On September 12, 2019, Nissan issued a recall to fix a defective backup camera in the 2018-2019 Nissan Sentra and other Nissan models. After adjusting the backup camera and display settings, the rearview image is no longer visible, and the system retains the same settings the next time the vehicle is in reverse gear.
A defective backup camera increases the risk of a crash. The affected Nissan Sentra vehicles did not comply with the guidelines of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, “Rear Visibility.”
Nissan instructed dealers to update the backup camera settings software free of charge.
If you bought a Nissan Sentra with a defective engine, it could stall anytime, exposing you to the risk of a crash. It is also impossible to rely on your car to run your personal or business errands.
