What 2015 Nissan Sentra owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The car keeps throwing a P0101 code. The MAF Sensor has been replaced and the throttle body has been clean and the engine light and code keep showing up. It is causing acceleration issues making it dangerous to start moving or going fast to get up to speed on the interstate.
Mass air flow sensor code keeps coming on. I have replaced the sensor with the Nissan brand and the check engine light comes on again being the MAF sensor. Also the radio screen is blank.
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.
After getting my transmission serviced, my car started jerking often and lagging on speed from 0-35. Once hitting 40 mph, it would create a loud rev up and a rough kick back. It has stalled out and started up numerous times while sitting in freeway traffic and traffic light controlled intersections to the point that I had to move it and park somewhere safe for 10 mins for it to restart then stall out again a few mins later down the road.
The 2015 Nissan Sentra SV has issues with stalling during driving, not accelerating over a certain MPR but RPM continues to get higher, and the car seeming to jerk when in drive. The transmission seems to slip. There are no indicators for check engine that has came on prior to these events taking place. Very unsafe driving on the highway when these situations occur. Has had multiple diagnostics done and nothing has been solved.
My check engine light came on and code is mass airflow. I have replaced it 5 times as well as had the work done suggested by nissan for the tbs that has been issued for it. It stalls while I am driving it. Which almost resulted in am accident. The only code that comes up on the scan is for the mass airflow. I have contacted nissan and was told that they dont know what the problem is bring it to a dealership. I have had it checked and rechecked and fixed and the issue is not going away. With it now stalling as I drive this is now a safety issue. It happened on a route where the speed limit is 50 miles an hour. At this time I not only replaced sensor again but also had a mechanic clean the throttle body and do the other recommendations. The light cleared and 2 weeks later same issue happened.
Car will just randomly stall in the middle of traffic I loose a power or stealing then will slowly come to a stop my breaks lock and car start clicking then shuts off. Once I sit for a bit restart it it will start up like nothing happend it had happend to me twice in less the two weeks apart. Both times happend when car ran for about 10-20 mins with no movement then once I start driving it occurs.
Every three months I am changing my mass air flow sensor it have to be a problem with the sensor system and my air conditioning have to turn the car off and on for it to work properly.
Friday 04/172020 at approximately 515pm minutes after parking my car at my boyfriend house after taking my coat and shoes off one of his neighbors knocked on the door to let me know that my car was on fire. Police and fire department was called, they arrived and put the fire out and let me know that it appeared to be an electrical issues that may have caused the fire
