Tl* the contact owned a 2018 nissan sentra. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 MPH, the vehicle caught fire. The contact stated she may have seen smoke from under the hood near the windshield wiper. The contact stated she kept driving until she saw flames and all the warning lights illuminating as well as the door locks unlocking and locking automatically. The contact stated had to kick the driver side door several times to exit the vehicle. The air bags deployed.
After 37,122 miles the transmission on my 2018 nissan sentra went bad on me. I took it to the dealership and they informed me that the entire transmission needed to be replaced. The dealership also said the fuel pump and cluster needed to be replaced. I read that there have been other complaints made about the transmission system for these cars, and there should definitely be a recall.
