The car's airbag dashboard light has been on and blinking for about a month now- indicating an issue. I have not been in any recent accidents and it appeared on its own. Subsequently, the car horn does not work. Airbags and car horn are necessary to prevent accidents and serious injury, including death in the event of an accident. I advised my local Nissan dealership who stated there are no current recalls and the car would need to be inspected- which will likely be costly. No inspections have been made at this time.

Driver Air bag sensor light came on. The dealership reset it several times but it continues to come on. We paid the money to have them put the car on the diagnostic system. They are saying after review, the airbag needs to be replaced. It costs $1500 to replace the airbag. Which makes zero sense. The car has never been wrecked. Reports have shown issues with airbags in hundreds of thousands of Nissans. The 2008 Nissan Sentra needs to be reviewed for an airbag recall. This is extremely dangerous.

Check engine light. Mechanic diagnosis IS defective catalytic converter sensors.
- Air bags · Unknown or other
Vehicle air bag began flashing and horn stopped working when pressed.
- Air bags · Unknown or other
Air bag light remains on and blinking continously. the horn also stopped working. Feels very unsafe driving without a horn. Since both the airbag and horn are in the steering wheel and reading through several other similar complaints I would assume they are related. Should be recalled as many other nissans have been recalled with the same issue.

On june 20, 2016, I took my car into a nissan certified dealership to have the transmission redone under the extended warranty that nissan did for the cvt engine. The car drove fine and then in the beginning of august 2019 just 3 yrs later and 40,00 miles on the new transmission, the transmission IS messing up again and we are told that we have to replace the transmission for the second time at our cost. After doing some research I found out that there was a service bulletin sent out to the technician on august 15, 2014 stating that a 2007-2012 sentra will need a transmission cooler added to the cvt to prevent it from overheating. The nissan dealership did not put that on our car when we had our transmission redone under their extended warranty in 2016, and now because of their lack of responsibility our transmission IS out, and nissan IS not wanting to make it right.

Airbag light flashes constantly on dash panel. Came on while driving and will not go out. Has been reset but comes back on after driving within short distance. Car has not been wrecked in front and I am original owner. Concerned for our safety as we are afraid airbag may not deploy in case of an accident. We do not believe safety equipment should fail so quickly. Also see online where many other owners are experienceing same problem. would like to see a recall to fix this safety issue. Thank you.

Takata recall. the transmission in my 2008 nissan sentra has never worked properly. It's a automatic and sometimes it dont want to shift gears when I get around 30 mph. Then I have to stop and put it in park and then put it in drive again and it will start working properly. also sometimes while I'm on the interstate going 65-80 mph the rpm will fluctuate from 2 to 3 1/2 rpms and then other times while going down a hill the rpms will stay above 2 but mostly 2 1/2 rpms until I get below 15 mph before it downshifts. The transmission in this car has never worked properly and all the fluid IS good in it. It now has around 152,000 miles on it but the nissan company put a new transmission in it a few years ago so the actual transmission doesnt have that many miles on it at all. I've seen alot of complaints about this transmission for this car and I think nissan needs to do something about this before it ends up tearing more than the transmission out of it!

The vehicle was in motion coming off the highway and onto city street. The torque converter gave out and the vehicle began sputtering at stop signs and light, and then thrusting forward jolting toward traffic. I nearly had two other vehicles rear end me during sputtering, and I nearly hit a vehicle in front of me when the car thrust forward violently. I turned in to the nearest automotive repair shop who told me my torque converter blew and I was very lucky to have not been in an accident. I have owned this vehicle 82 days and now have to do an entire transmission rebuild, which after extensive research I have found this IS very common with a cvt transmission. I feel like this IS something nissan should address, as I endangered the lives of my children, myself, and other drivers/passengers on the road. The car has been regularly maintained and has only one previous owner. I did not even drive 2,000 miles before this incident occurred, and I fully believe these constant variable transmissions pose a threat to anyone operating a vehicle, and that this IS grounds for a factory recall or at the least additional safety warnings. Thank you.

Nissan conducted safety recalls 08V-311 and 09V-431 to remedy leaking master cylinders on certain MY 2007 and 2008 Nissan Sentra vehicles.The recall populations were determined based on production changes to the master cylinder which were fully implemented into production on April 18, 2008.NHTSA utilized vehicle owner questionnaire (VOQ) reports and did not request field information from Nissan.ODI identified two MY 2008 Nissan Sentra VOQs including the petitioner?s vehicle, which were not covered by the recalls and reported a leaking master cylinder.Both of these incidents occurred 6 or more years into the service life of the vehicle.ODI also identified three VOQs which reported a leaking master cylinder after receiving the recall remedy.While one of these failures occurred within 36 months of the recall remedy, the other two occurred at a later time.ODI notes that the original recall addressed failures which occurred early in the life of the vehicle, typically during the first 36 months of service.Master cylinders are generally expected to experience wear and thus will display a finite service life.After a thorough review of the available data in NHTSA's VOQ database, the agency has not identified a trend that would call into question the scope or adequacy of Nissan's recalls.Accordingly, and in view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, ODI is denying the petition.A detailed summary of ODI's analysis of this petition is available in the investigative file for this action, and will be published in the Federal Register also.The agency reserves the right to revise this assessment should future circumstances warrant.The VOQs cited above can be viewed at NHTSA.gov under the following reference numbers: 10299791 10330891 10449038 10567372 10638813 10805749 10839357
