9% of complaints about the 2004 Nissan Sentra came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2004 vehicle — around the middle of the 236 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 6.8 yr in service. The most-reported system is engine cooling (61 complaints), typically at 5.4 yr or about 69,000 miles.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2002-2006 Sentra vehicles whose passenger air bags were previously inspected and may have been released without replacing the Takata air bag inflator. In the event of a crash, Takata frontal passenger air bag inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain air bag inflator replacement service parts that may have been installed as part of a theft or collision repair. The parts include certain passenger-side air bag inflators designed to fit Infiniti 2002-2003 QX4, 2006-2010 M35 and M45; Nissan 2001-2003 Maxima, 2002-2006 Sentra, and both driver and passenger-side inflators designed to fit 2007-2012 Versa Sedan and Versa Hatchback vehicles. Please see Nissan's recall report for the specific part numbers. These replacement inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after

The vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated, frontal passenger air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2001-2003 Nissan Maxima, 2002-2004 Pathfinder, 2002-2006 Sentra, 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 and I35, 2003 FX35 and FX45, and 2001 I30 vehicles. Upon deployment of the passenger side frontal air bag, excessive internal pressure may cause the inflator to rupture.
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.5L ENGINE, THE CRANK ANGLE SENSOR IS AFFECTED BY TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS. UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS, THESE VARIATIONS IN TEMPERATURE CAN BE LARGE ENOUGH TO CAUSE A BRIEF INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL OUTPUT FROM THE SENSOR.
IF THE INTERRUPTION IN THE SIGNAL FROM THE SENSOR IS SO BRIEF THAT THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) LOGIC DOES NOT HAVE TIME TO DIAGNOSE THE CONDITION, THE ENGINE MAY STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT A LOW SPEED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
THE KEYLESS REMOTE DOES NOT WORK UNLESS THEY TAKE OUT A FUSE BECAUSE OF A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - THAT PARTICULAR FUSE CONTROLED THE LIGHTS IN THE VANITY MIRROW - THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO ORDER A PART TO FIX IT - AND THAT ALL 2004 MODELS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. ALSO THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE! MAYBE DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM - WAITING TO HEAR FROM DEALERSHIP. *JB
PURCHASED CAR BRAND NEW WITH 7 MILES ON IT. ON 3/15/04 AT 495 MILES ON THE COMPUTER DIED - LOST ENGINE POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. DEALER REPLACED COMPUTER UNDER WARRANTY AND I ACCEPTED DELIVERY OF REPAIRED VEHICLE ON 3/19/04. ON 3/31/04 AT 720 MILES - CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AGAIN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MADE IT TO DEALER - WAS TOLD 'NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME' AND ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, CONSTANTLY LOSING POWER IN TRAFFIC - THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT AWAY, OR LEAVE IT THERE AND WALK HOME (10 MILES)... *JB
THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN THE ECM MATERIAL RECALL 03V477000 IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE JERKED BACK AND FORWARD, BUT THE VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER AND MODEL YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *JB
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED TWICE ALREADY AND THEN BOLTS FELL OUT OF THE ENGINE. THIS CAUSED THE CAR TO STALL THE SAME AS WHEN THE CATALYST WAS BURNED UP. THE CATALYST HAD BEEN REPLACED ALONG WITH THE ENGINE. I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS TO THIS DAY WITH FUNNY SMELLS AND RATTLES.*AK
