2014 Nissan Sentra Electrical Problems

While driving your car, smoke suddenly appeared from the front of the engine area, followed immediately by flames that spread rapidly and caused severe damage to the engine, electrical system, and front body. No warning lights or unusual signs appeared before the fire started. The fire happened without warning and completely disabled your vehicle, creating a serious safety risk to you and others nearby.

Your car's transmission failed within 3 years of ownership, requiring a $3,000 replacement along with a new engine. The problem started with the gas pedal not responding during acceleration in traffic. In 2024, the same issue recurred with repair costs estimated at $7,000, despite no aggressive driving. The transmission may need to be rebuilt or replaced again, along with potential engine diagnostics to identify the root cause.

You discovered that your 2014 Nissan Sentra's odometer reading doesn't match the title — the title shows 229,347 miles as of January 6, 2026, but you purchased it with 96,642 miles showing, and Florida registration also shows 96,642 miles as of February 2, 2026. This discrepancy suggests potential odometer fraud by the seller. You may want to contact your state's motor vehicle department and consider consulting with an attorney about your purchase.

Entire car needs repairs problems with starting

My Nissan Sentra burst into flames on July 27,2022-not sure why this occurred; the car was last serviced before this incident on June 17, 2022-the car's Compressor/AC were replaced. I had just parked the car at a hotel when the fire began. The only inspection was from a fire marshal and the insurance company that car was a complete loss. There was no warning when this happened and had I had a full tank of gasoline this would have gravely injured me. The car had seven years of meticulous upkeep so this catastrophe was totally unexpected. The autos parked on either side of me suffered serious damage as well.

Both rear running lights blew at the same time, so i bought New ones, plugged them jn for them to still not work. Heard there was a recall on other versions of my vehicle.

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

FUEL PUMP FAILURE AT 75K MILES. RESULTED IN VEHICLE SPUTTERING, THEN STALLING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS GOING OUT AND THEN TURNING BACK ON WITH MORE THAN HALF A TANK DIFFERENCE IN THE FUEL READING, AND THEN RAN OUT OF GAS ENTIRELY. BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP WHO DENIED THERE BEING AN OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE EVER, WHICH IS INCORRECT AS I'VE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FROM A RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY UNSTABLE AND IS NOW ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS HOLDING BRAKE FLUID. CAN'T FILL TANK AT THE GAS STATION EITHER BECAUSE REFUELING STOPS IMMEDIATELY EVERY TWO SECONDS AFTER TURNING ON EVEN IF YOU PHYSICALLY HOLD IT THERE... YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE TO CLICK IT BACK ON BECAUSE THE FUEL IS NOT ACCEPTED BY THE VEHICLE. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED ENTIRELY. IT IS UNSAFE AND HAS STRANDED ME 3 TIMES AND REPAIRS HAVE BEEN UNREASONABLE. NISSAN MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND ISSUE RECALLS THAT WILL FIX THE ISSUES FREE OF CHARGE. AS OF TODAY I'VE BEEN ASKED TO INVEST ANOTHER $3,000.00 TO FIX IT, BUT IT'S WORTH LESS THAN THAT NOW.

WAS SITTING IN THE CAR CLEANING AND LISTENING TO MUSIC NOT LONG AFTER STARTING THE RADIO KEPT GOING ON AND OFF AND THEN WOULDN'T START BUT MOST LIGHTS CAME ON THE GUY I BOUGHT THE CAR OFF OF SAID HE WAS TOLD IT'S THE BATTERY WHICH HE JUST REPLACED LAST YEAR BUT AFTER CHARGING IT A BIT IT STARTED. BUT AFTER DOING FURTHER RESEARCH APPARENTLY IT'S SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TERMINALS THEY USE ON THIS CAR DRAINING AND DESTROYING THE BATTERY AND THAT IF IT DOESN'T POP UP IN YOUR RECALL [XXX] THEN YOU HAVE TO REPLACE IT AND HAVE IT FIXED WHICH IS OVER $2000 THE CAR ISN'T EVEN WORTH THAT ESPECIALLY WITH THE WEAK SPEAKERS AND OUT OF DATE CD PLAYER NO BLUETOOTH OR REVERSE CAMERA!
