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.

Fuel tank leaks gas

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

Ever since I first purchased the car it wants to die and it seems like it doesn't want to go when I press the gas. It does this when I stop or when I press the gas.

I purchased this car in 2018 with 30k miles. In 2020 I had to replace the transmission. Now 2022 and I have to replace the transmission again. The car is decelerating and sputtering at times. But it’s not covered? How does a car have three transmissions within such a short time under 120k miles?

It says my vehicle has 0 unrepaired recalls, however I've noticed that these vehicles have reported fuel leakage due to faulty seals when the tank is full. I got the car used & I was wondering if I have any chance of getting this issue fixed

Gas light on check engine light on due to fule sensor level

My check engine light came on so I took my 2013 nissan sentra (54,000 miles) to the dealership where I bought it new for diagnosis. Was advised fuel level sensor code not being read correctly so fuel pump needs replaced. Estimate $671 and my diagnosis was $145. I called nissan because there had been a recall, but not for my VIN. The fuel pump should last 125,000 miles! Very dissappointed with nissan, they said since it was out of warranty they could not offer anything. Now I'm just waiting for the well-documented transmission failure to happen. This was my first new car ever, and I carefully researched it before purchase. They certainly aren't making this customer feel taken care of by not taking responsibility for replacing the faulty fuel pump.

I bought my 2013 nissan sentra sr from towne auto brokers 03/2013 I test drove it and it had no shifting problems at that time. 2 weeks later while I'm driving it the sentra started jerking and idling erratically, the RPM tachometer red lined 3 times without the gas pedal being depressed!! While redlining the sentra's transmission shudder with the erratic jerking all the while decelerating before catching 3rd gear at 4,000 RPM. I was in rush hour traffic 3 miles from home so I decided to try and making it home. While stopped at the stop light the sentra idled normal, then at the green light when I depressed the gas pedal nothing happened( no power at all and the RPM didn't rise) I was literally stuck in the middle of an intersection not able to move my nissan sentra under its own power!!! I'm afraid that this is a transmission issue that the manufacturer was well aware of before installation in nissan sentra and all other models with this CVT transmission. I believe the nissan corporation should recall all CVT transmission due to mechanical failure resulting in lack of power.
