Tl* the contact owns a 2010 nissan sentra. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, and slowing to make a turn, the car was still in motion when the engine completely turned off, and put the car in park before it would restart. The contact shifted the gear shifter to park and restarted the vehicle. A few days after the issue mentioned above, the car started for a brief second, then would not restart and nissan found the issue to be the ECM that was damaged by the positive battery terminal. This also made sense as to why we have always had to buy new batteries every 1-2 years, which caused issues when trying to start the car multiple times.the vehicle was taken to gainesville nissan located at (3915 n main st, gainesville, fl 32609) where the vehicle was diagnosed with an ECM failure.

Started back in the beginning of 2019. I noticed that the oil has been going down and no external leak. I have to put 1/2 a quart of oil a week into the engine at this point. I have noticed that there are others that are having the same issue with no resolve from nissan.

Car stalls while in motion. Usually this is when I am slowing down or when I have come to a stop. It starts right up again but sometimes will stall immediately after restarting multiple times. Sometimes it will stall multiple times a day and sometimes it doesn't stall for a week or more. I took it to a mechanic and he had no idea what the problem was. My VIN number was not included in the previous recalls but it appears to be the same problem.

I've been getting contacted about lemon law cases for my car - my specific year, make and model but I can't find old receipts that would help me with the cases. My airbag sign keeps going off and the engine is in horrible shape. I have to put in a "thicker" motor fuel to keep it from burning although I do my oil changes regularly. This has been going on for more than a year now. I can't remember the exact date it started happening so I put 1/1/18 as the date below.
