Put in park and starts back up. No check engine lights no codes. This has happened 5 times. Also now when parking face down on hill car will sputter and stall. Again, no check engine and no codes

While going on up and down steep hills in a city all of a sudden the engine stalls and the breaks stop working. This happened to me several times and to my luck as there was no traffic I got escaped without any accidents. Both the times I stopped the vehicle by shifting it to the parking mode. Some times the steering also automatically shifts to manual mode and the steering becomes tight. So the issues are with both the brakes and steering and this could be a computer/communication glitch which is not communicating with the brakes properly. When I stop the vehicle and restarts after sometime again brakes works normally and everything works fine. But after some days this issue repeats. Right now I am taking the vehicle to the nearby dealer to get more information on the vehicle condition. Once I get a clear explanation of the vehicle condition I will add more information to this complaint. Right now the mileage on the vehicle is 105000. I think there are some recalls on this vehicle and I am not sure if they have recall on this particular case.

Vehicle was experiencing stalling on a stop and hesitating in reverse for approximately 4 months. Thought it was due to fuel pump issues. Then, heard a loud clicking noise when I took my foot off the brake to slow. Was told my transmission needed to be replaced. Nissan has an extended 120,000 warranty on transmission. My vehicle had 120,815 miles. They only replaced 50%, causing me to pay $1500. These nissan CVT transmission clearly have a significant defect causing these issues that nissan has acknowledged by doubling the warranty, but this is insufficient. The transmissions should have been recalled. I should not have paid anything for the repairs. Additionally, the replacement transmission was a nissan remanufactured with refurbished parts, not new. Based on the numerous consumers reporting they have had to replace transmissions in these vehicles 2 or 3 times, I will not be keeping this vehicle, nor will I ever buy a nissan product again.

Vehicle began making a ticking noise from front passenger engine area at a stop light, as I began through intersection once it turned green the car completely stalled on me as traffic began moving again in the opposite direction almost causing a collision in the middle of the intersection. There were no pre warnings, dash warning lights that came on prior to this incident. I took the vehicle to the nissan dealer the next day (4 year old car w/ 75k miles) and was told the noise is coming from the engine I need a new motor but would not elaborate as to what exactly it was but advised me I was out of warranty and I could buy a new motor from them for 6500$. Being completely stuck in the middle of the intersection has scared me enough not to even want to get back in the vehicle so as of right now it sits in my driveway a 4 year old car with 75k miles on it that almost caused me to be tboned in an intersection and no one has any answers for me, only want money to give a new motor. Nissan corp has been contacted with out any assistance provided. I was told by nissan not to drive the car, which I obviously wont, I have done my research and there are hundreds of complaints out there for the same exact "unknown" problem that many people have had.

My 2007 nissan sentra caught on fire while I was driving on the highway. No warning lights came on, no noise, just stalled and I was not able to pull off the road. Car was a total loss. I had taken it in to the dealer for 2 recalls (brake master cylinder and airbags) last year, but was told my car cleared both.

I drove the 2007 nissan sentra for about 7 months with almost no issues except the "check engine light was on." I took it to the deal for the scheduled maintenances and had regular oil changes, and used premium gas. While driving on the highway going about 60mph, the car stalled and caught on fire. I was not able to pull over. It was a very traumatic experience. Recently I have received a recall notice concerning the brake fluid leak. I know that fluid and electricity do not mix, so it may very well have been the cause of the fire.
