The car began to jerk when driven. One day, it stopped working; the engine was still running but it wouldn't shift gears. The transmission was repaired, and several parts were replaced. However, the car still jerks when reaching 50 miles per hour, the horn doesn't sound, not even the alarm, and it makes a loud noise when making a tight turn.

Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Airbags did not deploy
When driving the passenger side door won't latch correctly. When driving at a speed of 45-60 MPH you can hear a noise like air is coming inside the car. Especially on a very windy day the noise is louder and it feels like the door will open.
The paint on the roof of the car has started chipping and peeling for no reason. There has been no damage to the car whatsoever. The paint just one day started peeling and chipping.
Apparently the dealer who sold me the car without telling me that it was a previous total loss and now they refuse to give me my down payment back.
I was driving the interstate and the hood latch completely detached from the frame of this car causing the hood to fly up and shatter the windshield of the car almost causing a accident with other vehicles cause it was blocking my vision
Rust/corrosion and peeling of paint (delamination) appeared after 3 years on the roof. Car is a white nissan sentra 2015 and I filed a complained with nissan and I was told that its not covered because it was over 3 years even after showing the nissan warranty booklet document. I was given several options by nissan, pay $9,000.00 my share to pay the body paint, $5,000.00 discount to buy a new car plus 2 years extended warranty. Car has only 30,000 miles on it when I complained july of 2019. I was asked several times to get an estimate for a paint job too. I talked to more than 1 representative during this ordeal and even pleaded with them to just paint the roof part and they said no because its not guaranteed that it will only be the roof that will start peeling. My last conversation with them (kacha, executive) was last year when I gave up because it gave us too much anxiety and grief. This is my son's car who is a first responder and still paying for this car too. We were a nissan family and always bought 4 brand new nissan for the past 20 years.
