2006 Nissan Sentra: fuel pump failure

Filed Jun 3, 2017 · Fuel system · 112,000 miles · TN

Anytime car engine is shut off and the car sits for as little as 10 minutes the car will not start right back up with out cranking over for several seconds. The fuel pump and fuel pump regulator has been a known problem with I know 2004 2005 and 2006 nissan sentra's. I have more sentra's then this particular car and all these cars have this same issue. Nissan has known about this problem with these cars since they were new. I had this car in the dealer service dept when this car was new. They first put a what they called kit in it and it lasted a few months then I took it back and that time they said you get a whole new pump. It lasted for maybe a year then the same problem happened all over again. Nissan needs to recall these cars and fix them not just patch up the problem. I noted today's date of this happening but it happens everyday. Today included.

I have a 2006 nissan sentra s 1.8 l. I had the crankshaft position sensor replaced a month ago due to an issue with the engine losing power. It happens mostly after the engine has reached a certain level of heat. My issue returned only a few days later after the replacement. It will come close to shutting off sitting at a stop sign or stop light. It will also lose acceleration over 3000 RPM. It will stop running if left in idle for an extended period of time. I noticed a similar recall on the 2.5l version of the same vehicle. I contacted nissan to see if it would be covered under this recall and they refused to cover it. I have talked to other owners of the same model and they have told me they have replaced the fuel pump and cps many times to no avail. I believe there is a definite safety issue in this car that could easily lead to an accident. I do not understand why it isn't covered under the recall that affects the similar 2.5l version of the model. My vehicle is at 139,890 miles. It has had the sensor replaced at around 75,000 miles and around 100,000 miles.

This is in reference to nissan service bulletin ntb05-052a. I purchased a 2006 nissan sentra 1.8s august 26, 2006. The summer of 2007 I started experiencing the "long engine crank time before start" issue, and have experienced this issue every summer since (but only during the summer). I currently have approximately 54,000 miles on my nissan and just recently learned about the service bulletin that was put out september 8, 2006. I don't understand why I was never notified about this bulletin advising me of what to do, even after inquires of my issue at the nissan dealership. Nissan no longer sells the repair kit (which I'm learning wasn't a guarantee fix) and I would probably have to buy a whole new fuel pump (that nissan has supposedly redesigned). There is nothing wrong with the fuel pump itself, but rather a "faulty" part inside of the fuel pump. Nissan should be responsible for replacing "faulty" parts and also keeping those parts available as long as that particular year, make, and model vehicle are on the road.

Our 2006 nissan sentra spills gas out the filler hole when attempting to refill. It has come gushing out spraying me and creating a very hazardous situation with fuel on myself and spilled at the fuel pump. I have done some research and have learned it is not an unusual problem, but one that I feel the manufacturer should take responsibility for. It is very dangerous.

After driving my 2006 nissan sentra 1.8, when you try to restart it within a couple hours it is very hard to start and it is getting more difficult to start. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the fuel pump. The problem got better but now it has returned. Nissan and the dealer are acting as though they do not know what is causing the problem be there are numerous cases reported on the internet concerning the same problem. The dealer wants to chare me $99 to run a test but I am sure they already know, if not they need to check the internet.
