| On two occasions while making right turns, the engine failed to operate. the first occurance, the engine restarted and appeard to operate normaly. the second occurance, the engine failed to restart and the vehicle was towed to nissan maintenance where it was determined that the battery was leaking acid, which was ingested in to the air intake, destroying the air filter and causing severe contamination of the spark plugs and fuel injector system, as well as corrosive damage to the framing. had this engine failed on the freeway, it would have jeapordized the lives of the occupants. action is being addressed with the battery manufacturer, but this report is implemented to address the poor design of the vehicle which placed the battery above the air intake, without provisions for containment in the event of such an acid leak.

| The car ran fine, until one day the electrical system seemed to die (all the lights on the dash illuminated) and the car seemed to lock itself up. the power steering stopped functioning and made it hard to drive. after pulling over to restart it, it would not. at first i thought it may be the battery, but when i took it to the dealer they were unable to figure out the exact problem. it's been nearly a week since the problem started and no resolution yet. i chose to report this because when the car began to malfunction it became very unsafe to operate. since i was in a fairly residential area it wasn't hard for me to pull over and get help, but had i been on a major roadway i could see this problem being potentially disasterous. i also feel that this problem needs to be more closely looked at since the technicians were not able to accurately identify the problem because it had yet to be seen until i brought my car in. | |||

| My son bought a 2007 nissan sentra s on july 27, 2007. this vehicle has broke down on 08/03/07, 08/07/07, 08/10/00 and as of today it is still at a nissan dealer. the problem with this vehicle is that three times the while driving along for no reason it the car speed drops to 5 mph. the first time it happened was at development and no other traffic. when this happened the car would only go 5 mph. no faster. the second time this happened my son had two clients in the car and was able to get off the highway. the third time this happened my son and i were returning home. we were traveling up a two lane road with many vehicles going both ways, as we got half way up the hill this happened again. we had no place to pull off and almost go hit from behind. thank god the driver was able to get around us. we had to put the 4 ways on and was only able to go 5 mph to the top of the hill. still with no place to pull off the road i told my son to drift the car down the hill into our home town. my son drives this car on interstate highways every day to go to work if this happens on that highway while everyone is going 65 mph he is not going to time to get off the road. i have contacted nissan and complained and they told me they will fix the problem that was the second time it broke down. i fell this car is unsafe to be on any highway. *jb | |||
