The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while his wife was driving 30 MPH, the driver’s side door inadvertently opened. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact's wife veered to the side of the road, locked the driver's side door, and continued to drive the vehicle. The contact also stated that the driver’s side door would not totally latch upon closing. Additionally, the door handles were fractured, preventing them from easily accessing the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the door handles needed to be replaced. The contact referenced the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 15V453000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance because the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer opened a case. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.
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 vehicle has so many defects!! That I don't know where to begin?!?; but firstly I want my money back for the exorbitant expensive interest rate they charged me...!!! Then they added my deposit into the total cost instead it subtracting it from my total!!!?? The upholstery inside us coming up from the floor almost months into the purchase. The defrost doesn't work..the electronic part that affects the automatic door on the driver's side; the door wont open from the inside passenger! The pedal area where the carpet is coming up. .is exposing the underneath of car same with other areas but flooring carpet is extremely loose, and exposing wires. The driving electronic feature for winding roads it keeps coming on and won't shut off; I could have been killed!!!! It turned on multiple times on freeway slowing me down & I turned the button.on the feature ...it still wouldn't turn.off...!!!, the wipers are not working well at all and haven't since I first bought the car. The driver's side panel that has control of windows and unlock..it is coming off already!!! I don't have anyone in the car but me so it's definitely not me!
Engine is slipping door handles coming off

I had my oil changed @ nissan of grapevine & they took my car through the car wash with the windows down. Drenching & damaging the inside of the car, seats, floor board, electronics all got wet & no one ever informed me, they tried to cover it up by drying as much of the inside. It was only when we sat in the car & put my purse on the floor board that we realized it. Water was seeping out of the door handles inside the cup holders & arm rest, dashboard, etc. I immediately contacted the service dept. I spoke with asst mgr brett, I also took the car right back to the dealership & there showed the service mgr mark topham how water was pouring out of the bottom of the seats, and throughout the car. The screen on the radio was very dim & the seatbelt light kept flickering on & off, the airbag issue. Mark stuck he apologized & said they will make this right. I also spoke with sam street, sales mgr, who agreed, that they did serious damage to my car & said he would be speaking to owner mr. Johnny cantrell about a new vehicle replacement & have johnny contact me directly. I left the car there & took aa rental car. I received a call from mgr mark topham, next day advising me, that all they are going to do is replace the seat belt because they can't get the seatbelt light to quit flashing & replace the inside bottom cushion of one of the front seat. I advised mark, that they destroyed my new car by water damage & they owe me a new vehicle replacement, especially because they tried to hide the fact & never disclosed it or changed the oil to begin with. He said he would let the owner johnny cantrell know & have him call me. I never received a phone call from the owner johnny cantrell, nor is the company willing to make right what they did wrong. I need help in resolving this issue, please!!!! This should be illegal!!!

- What is wrong
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured June 9, 2015, to June 10, 2015, and 2015 Nissan Sentra and Versa Note vehicles manufactured June 5, 2015, to June 13, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the driver side front and rear doors may not fully latch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
- Risk
- A door that does not fully latch may result in the door opening while the car is moving. The distraction may increase the risk of a crash and/or a vehicle occupant may fall out of the vehicle if they are not wearing a seatbelt, increasing their risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the date, lot number, and cavity code on the left front and rear door latches, and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1‑800‑647‑7261.
