The tail light on the drivers rear has condensation. Therefore, my brake lights flicker. When putting the parking lights/headlights on, the power to the gas pedal is cut. RPMs go down and the car simply does not have power to accelerate.

Daughter described pushing break to the bottom /or floor boards while the car slowly began to slow. Yes, the vehicle is currently available for inspection. An impact occurred to daughter which caused bruising and duress. Another vehicle was struck. No, the problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service ctr. No. None that my daughter reported. I had driven the vehicle a few days prior and noticed nothing unusual upon breaking.

2014 Nissan Sentra -My abs system light came on failed inspection and had to be replaced. I had 32,322 miles on my car. I am 73 years old and for me to pay out over $1000,00 for a part that should not have failed according to the three certified mechanics. The light appeared the day I took it in to get my inspection sticker. This is so disheartening, to say the least. other models have been recalled ...my mechanic said it would be dangerous to drive it ...I contacted Nissan and all they could say was it's not under warranty and they have no recalls on my year. if you could help or direct me how to get help I would greatly appreciate it

EXTRA BRAKING REQUIRED TO COME TO A STOP - THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE REPORTED FOR THE 2013 VERSA. THE BRAKING REQUIRED MOST TIMES TO COME TO A STOP FROM A UNIFORM SPEED CAN VARY AT TIMES SO THAT SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EFFORT TO STOP THE VEHICLE IS NEEDED. EXAMPLE, ON MY NEIGHBOURHOOD STREET, APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN AT 25MPH, NORMALLY VERY LITTLE BRAKING NEEDS TO BE APPLIED. AT TIMES, WE HAVE NOTICED THAT A LOT MORE EFFORT IS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE EVEN AT SUCH A LOW SPEED. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE 2 MONTHS SINCE WE'VE BOUGHT THE CAR AND WOULD LEAD TO A CRASH IF THE BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND IN A UNIFORM WAY.

I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AS DESCRIBED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION "PE14-014." IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A PAVED ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT WAS AS IF THE VEHICLE TOOK OVER THE STEERING, CAUSING ME TO HIT A CURB. NO DAMAGE WAS INCURRED, HOWEVER IT WAS VERY SCARY. MY CONCERN IS OBVIOUS, WHAT IF THE VEHICLE DOES THIS AGAIN WHEN I AM DRIVING ON A FREEWAY @ 65 MPH? THIS WAS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WHEN "THE VEHICLE" HIT THE CURB. THE ABILITY TO BE IN CONTROL OF THE STEERING HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS A NEW CAR AND I FIND IT EXTREMELY HARD TO BELIEVE I AM HAVING ALL THESE PROBLEMS. THESE ARE NOT EVERYDAY GENERAL MAINTENANCE ISSUES. THESE ARE MAJOR ISSUES WHICH COULD EASILY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEREBY I WOULD PROBABLY BE FOUND TO BE AT FAULT, WHEN THE REAL PERSON AT FAULT IS THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER! THIS IS BEING DOCUMENTED AND SAVED BY ME SHOULD, GOD FORBID, A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS. ANY DIRECTION YOU MAY HAVE IS APPRECIATED.

THE REAR BRAKES STARTED TO MAKE GRINDING SOUND ONLY GOING 5MPH WITHOUT APPLYING ANY BRAKES. THE NOISE WAS VERY LOUD SO WE TOOK IT TO A CAR SHOP IMMEDIATELY FOR THEM TO INSPECT AND THEY FOUND THAT THE WHOLE DRIVER SIDE REAR DRUM BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY CAME APART AS THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS CLOSE TO HAPPENING TO. THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS WOULD HAPPEN. WE THEN TOOK CAR TO NISSAN DEALER FOR THEM TO INSPECT AND FOR WARRANTY POSSIBILITIES AND THEY CAME BACK SAYING THIS IS. NOT COVERED AS THEY SAY THIS IS. OT A DEFECT AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY CLAIMS REGARDING THIS KIND OF ISSUE AND DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE CAR WAS DRIVING WITH E BRAKE ON BUT OUR MPG HASN'T CHANGED IN ANYWAY. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING ESPECIALLY FOR LESS THAN 1 YR OLD CAR.

I NOTICED SINCE OCTOBER OF 2014 THAT WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES IN THE CAR, THEY PULSATED UNDER MY FOOT. (THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL 2014) IT DID NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT I WAS PUZZLED...IT CONTINUED OFF AND ON FOR MONTHS AND EVENTUALLY I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY KEPT THE VEHICLE FIXED IT AND RETURNED IT TO ME. I READ THE RECEIPT AND NOTICED THE PROBLEM WAS AS FOLLOWS: FRONT PADS COMING APART INTERNALLY CAUSING THE ROTORS TO BECOME WARPED; AND BOTH REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS COMING APART INTERNALLY. I WAS PRETTY SHOCKED AT THIS, AND 3 DAYS AFTER BEING REPAIRED I NOTICED THE SAME PULSING AGAIN AND TOOK THE CAR BACK. THEY KEPT IT FOR A FULL WEEK, AND TOLD ME THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I CALLED THE NISSAN CORPORATION AND ADVISED THEM I DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE ITS UNSAFE. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD REVIEW MY REQUEST, AND THEN ADVISED ME THAT THEY WILL NOT BE REPURCHASING OR TAKING THE CAR BACK. IN THE MEANTIME, I DRIVE THIS CAR WITH GREAT FEAR AND CARE AS THE PULSING IS MORE FREQUENT, ESPECIALLY IF THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED SLOWLY, THE PULSING HAPPENS JARRINGLY AT THE END OF THE BRAKING. ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS I SPOKE TO TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD AN INTERNAL NOTICE FOR THIS MODEL , BUT ONLY IF A CUSTOMER BROUGHT IT IN. I FEEL THAT TAKING IT BACK TO NISSAN AGAIN IS GOING TO GET ME NOWHERE AND THAT THEY WILL ONCE MORE DECIDE NOTHING IS WRONG. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE IS FINANCED BY NISSAN, AND THIS MONTH I DID NOT PAY FOR THE VEHICLE AND I AM SURPRISED AND PUZZLED AS TO WHY NO ONE FROM NISSAN HAS CALLED TO ASK FOR PAYMENT. WHAT CAN I DO NOW? I AM AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING THIS CAR. THANK YOU
