Bought 2017 nissan sentra brand new from dealership and was very unfairly overcharged. I was charged $23,014.53 for a car that was only worth $16,000 and has so many issues. Gas tank sometimes will stop at 200 miles and will not fill up, speedometer shoots up and down while driving, speed does not stay at a certain speed and slows down automatically. The engine jerks and sputters while driving on freeways and streets.
2017 Nissan Sentra engine complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 49 of 49, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When in a stationary position and off the car's automatic start will not start the car even when pressing on the brake petal and pressing the automatic start button. The car will cycle through the electronic warning on the dashboard to say - press the brake pedal and press the start button. The car will not start. Instead it will cycle through the radio coming on and the dash illuminating and then to off. The car will not start. It first occurred on 11/26/19, on two separate occasions. First occasion was attempting to leave our home garage. Second occasion was directly following occasion 1 as we attempted to leave the grocery store parking lot. The third was on 12/3/19, as we attempted to leave a metro parking garage. The vehicle will take 3-4 attempts and full cycles (5 minutes) to start the car.
Transmission problems, some tomes it does not change gear. Some times in stationary the gear will not change, sometime wile in motion the car wil slow down. This happens , in the city and on the freeway
While driving 60mph on the highway in the left lane, the car suddenly turned off. The instrument panel suddenly went dark, engine turned off, everything suddenly just shut off with no warning. We had difficulty maneuvering the car over to the right shoulder. After we pulled over it restarted & we were able to drive away. Ironically we had our 30,000 mile service the next day but nissan said nothing is wrong. Online we've noticed previous years with the same problem but the tsb only covers nissans up to 2016.
Brake pedal sensor is defective, it interemittently detects the brake pedal being pressed and allows the car to start. Sometimes the brake pedal will go completely to the floor and sometimes it woll not activate at all. Sometimes the brake light will not go out and the car will not start. Sometimes if I pump the brake pedal the light will go out and the car will start. Sometimes if I have the door open and press the pedal the car will start=, sometimes there is no problem at all
Third time in the past month, push button start ups, engine is falling to start properly, engine is falling to start, smoothly. Vechile is in the stationary position.

I"m documenting the scary situations I've experinced with my 2017 nissan sentra sr turbo. On 7/31/17 the vehicle started to stall at an intersection, then came to a complete stop. The engine turned off and I was left without any ability to controll the car. I was able to get it started again trying to make it back home it barely made it at a maximum speed of 10 miles/hr. It had to be towed to a dealer for serviced it was completelly undrivable. They said the battery needed to be replaced. I drove back to work after the repairs. That evening leaving work the same thing happened. Had to call again to have the car towed to the dealer again. The next day I got a call from the service person telling me the alternator had gone out, and that the part would take 2 weeks to come in. Meanwhile I contacted nissan corp. To le them know of the situation and the other various times I'd to bringin the car in for repairs since I purchsed it brand new in 1/14/17 . I told them this car is putting my life and others in danger and that I belived it was a lemmon. A few days later I got a call telling me that my case had been moved up in their priority list, however they did't let me know that this situation was happening to other custormers. Last week I got a call telling me that nissan corp was in no possition to take the car back, but that they were willin to offer me either $1000.00 back or an extended warranty on the car of 100.000 miles/8 years, which at this point I'm not willingto comit to either one.
