What owners wrote
Once approaching a stop (crosswalk), the vehicle accelerated without touching the accelerator pedal. The owner of the vehicle almost hit a pedestrian. Another time, the vehicle lunged forward when attempting to move out of parking space. The dealership has the vehicle as of 01-28-2003 with cause not identified yet. The owner is concerned about the performance and repair of vehicle and the safety of those around if failure occurs again. Please describe details. Ts
I purchased my 2003 nissan sentra gxe on june 10, 2003. Since that time, I have 7 work orders on my vehicle and that doesn't count each time I had to go to the dealership to show the problem and then made an appointment for problems with the drivers side door and window, a ding they put in the hood, not even close to sticker gas mileage and the service engine light coming on for no reason found and now there's a recall on that I haven't been notified of yet.
