The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while attempting to refuel the vehicle, fuel started spewing out of the fuel filler neck. The contact waited until the fuel level was almost empty and slowly pumped gasoline into the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to three separate mechanics and was informed that the issue was related to the oxygen sensor; however, two mechanics also stated that the issue could be related to a defect with the EVAP system. The contact then stated that while driving at highway speeds, the vehicle began to lose power while depressing the accelerator pedal, as the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate above 40 MPH and pulled over. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle several times but was unsuccessful. The contact called the mechanic, who advised the contact to restart the vehicle in neutral(N). Once the vehicle was in neutral(N), the contact was able to restart the vehicle and resume normal operation. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that there was a Nissan recall for the rear O2 sensor under NISSAN ID: P1A25. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for service; however, the dealer refused to service the vehicle due to the check engine warning light and other issues that the dealer claimed would affect the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 173,000.

Mass air flow sensor. The check engine light comes on. It’s a safety hazard because the car does not have the power to accelerate so very dangerous when trying to cross intersection driving on The road is dangerous. This mass air flow sensor part is not a maintenance/ regular service. This is the second time I’m having this issue within 14 months. I had it replaced Aug 2022 and now dealership is say I need a new one AGAIN

The mass airflow sensor is known to be an issue. I have had to replace it 5 times now since may 2021. I was trying to get on the street with oncoming traffic and it died and the car tried restarting while in gear. Luckily I was not injured. This is the #1 issue with this make and model of car. After this happened I went to see what the check engine light meant as it has been on for months even after changing the sensor and I could not drive my car. I changed the sensor in the parking lot to get home. How many people have to die before nissan corrects the issue? I can't read the mileage, gas usage etc even after changing the sensor. I drive blindly to these

Transmission has stop being affective in a dramatic time frame. No check engine light, no previous issues, nothing called out by the many nissan techs who have worked on the car over the years. When putting the car into reverse or drive, there is a delay, followed by a hard jerk into gear. While accelerating the car struggles to provide power through the transmission. Then fails to shift into higher gears while accelerating on all road types. When going to accelerate up a hill, I have lost all power when pressing the gas pedal. The car needed to be parked in a no parking zone, due to the sudden loss of power.

Cvt transmission over heat/ failure at 93000 miles. Vehicle after about 1- 2 hours of driving would not move forward or backward while in drive. Blocked traffic for about 30 minutes as police officers were getting a tow truck. After car had been sitting while off for about 30 I was able to start and move it off the road. Nissan recognizes that there is a problem increased transmission warranty to 84k miles. Should be recalled!!! No warning or check engine light has ever come on. Nissan = junk!!
