What owners wrote
After filing several complaints with nissan and NHTSA, about the vehicle surging. The consumer was involved in an accident, whereby he rear ended another vehicle.
My nissan sentra decided to stall out in the middle of a very busy intersection. Was able to restart the nissan after about 15 seconds. Later that day I was unable to start my car. Battery was jumped and the car was running until I turned my headlights on. I had to be towed home. I believe my can sensor and crank sensor need to be replaced and there was a recall for this complaint before.
