Sudden loss of power by model year
What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2000 nissan sentra. The contact stated that while accelerating from a traffic stop, the vehicle lost power as the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was informed of a recall for the failure under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 03v477000 (electrical system:ignition:module) however, the dealer informed him that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified but offered no assistance. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileages were 165,000.
My 2000 nissan sentra completely stalled while driving on a surface street. First the radio cut out and the "air bag" light came on. When the car started to shake a bit, I noticed a burnt plastic smell and attempted to pull over to a side street and that's when the car lost all power--headlights, dashboard, engine, not even the hazards worked. I gently tried to accelerate forward and the car went into reverse instead, so I put the car in park and called triple a. They towed my car to my regular mechanic, who was closed at the time, and the next morning he was able to start the car right up and has not been able to locate any problem so far. This is not the first time the car has stalled. In 2007, I had the car stall on me a number of times (once on the freeway) before my mechanic replaced the mass airflow sensor. In 2009, the car started idling roughly before stalling and that problem was traced to a faulty egr control valve circuit.
The consumer experienced stalling problems with the vehicle. When driving the consumer went to apply the brake , the vehicle stalled without warning. This happened 4 times, when the brakes were applied at approximately 15 MPH. There was no warning. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the head gasket was blown. There was a mixture of oil and coolant which caused the vehicle to lose power. Provide further details. *jb the dealer replaced the crank and cam sensors per safety recall campaign d3163.
At about 65,000-70,000 miles the service engine light came on. At the same time my right front wheel began making noise. I took my car in and found out that I needed to replace the hub assembly. Not knowing that it had been recalled for the hub assembly, I ended up paying over $500 for the parts and labor. About 15,000 miles later my car lost all power while driving on the freeway. After paying to have the crank position sensor replaced I received a recall notice warning of the problem.I took my car to the dealer and they performed the recall work. The service light is still on and my car often performs poorly and loses power when trying to accelerate. I am unable to pass smog in ca because the light is on. All of these problems are not coincedental. Nissan has manufactured a faulty system and they need to own up and repair it.
