NISSAN IS RECALLING 169,202 MY 2007-2008 SENTRA PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED ROBERT BOSCH MASTER CYLINDER. DUE TO THE MACHINING IRREGULARITY BY THE SUPPLIER, THE INTERNAL SEAL GROOVE IN THE BODY OF SOME BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS MAY ALLOW FOR A GAP IN THE GROOVE CONTACT AREA OF THE SEAL. THIS MAY RESULT IN BRAKE FLUID SLOWLY LEAKING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY, CAUSING THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE.
IF THE WARNING LAMP IS IGNORED, ONE OF THE BRAKE CIRCUITS ON THE VEHICLE MAY NOT OPERATE AS DESIGNED INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
MY ONE MONTH OLD CAR ROCKS SIDE TO SIDE WHEN I TURN FROM A SMOOTH ROAD TO A BUMPPY ONE, AND I FEEL THE ROAD BUMPS THROUGH THE TIRE MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER NEW CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO SARATOGA NISSON AND LIA NISSON, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. I WAS TRYING TO TRADE IT BACK BUT I WILL LOOSE MONEY- NOT HAPPY . *AK
WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT EITHER A STOP OR A SLOW ROLL THE STEERING MADE A LOW TONED NOISE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO THE LEFT. IT IS NOT LOW ON POWER STEERING FLIUD AND HAS DONE IT SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I'VE TALK TO OTHER OWNERS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DEARLERSHIPS ARE SAYING IT HAS TO DO WITH THE ABS AND SOMETHING ELSE. THE BRAKES WORK FINE AND STILL MAKES THE NOISE EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT PRESSING THE BRAKES. *JB
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, A BOLT IN THE STEERING COLUMN BROKE AND THE WHEEL WAS NO LONGER CONNECTED TO THE WHEELS, MAKING A TURN THE WHEEL BECAME IMPOSSIBLE AS THE WHEEL SPUN COMPLETELY AROUND MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING COLUMN, THE FIRST TIME THE ENTIRE COLUMN WAS REPLACED. WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ONLY 8 MONTHS AND IT WAS NEW WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. WE ARE CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR FROM NISSAN ABOUT OUR REQUEST FOR AN EXCHANGE OR REFUND, AND WE FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO OPERATE. *TR
