Coming to a stop in a l turn lane, with foot definitely only on brake, at under 3 mph. Just as i stopped, brake faded, engine raced, and car surged violently forward, simultaneously. I barely controlled this surge with extreme brake pressure. Event lasted approximately 5 seconds. It did not trip a trouble code, or recur. Approximately 255,000 miles on chassis. No damage, but risk of it very high. Mcgregor, texas, turning l off of us 84 eastbound onto tx 317 northbound. Driver is retired but very accomplished engineer, with 3 engineering degrees, and decades of wide-ranging experience. This had absolutely nothing to do with pushing the wrong pedal. I know exactly where my foot was.

1998 nissan sentra gxe would not take fuel. At the gas pump, the pump would click off, like the tank was full. It would take less than a gallon of gas at a time. *tr i took it to be serviced and questioned if there was a recall and i was told that there was just a bulletin on it. I never located the bulletin. The pressure sensor was replaced. That part alone, was over $300. Dollars. *tr

I have a 1998 nissan sentra and the problems i have with this car is my ignition switch. My key gets stuck in my ignition sometimes and my car doesn't want to start at times. This problem is becoming more and more consistent over the ten years i've had it. I've had problems with my engine multiple times and i've gotten it fixed more than three times.

Tl*the contact owns a 1998 nissan sentra. While driving 30 mph, the windshield wipers shut off without warning. The dealer stated that the wiper arm linkage separated from the wiper motor linkage. The dealer stated that the vin was excluded from nhtsa campaign id number 98v093000 (visibility:windshield wiper/washer:linkages). As of september 17, 2007, the dealer had not repaired the vehicle. The current and failure mileages were 120,000.

Windshield wipers stopped working. It seems to be part of the recall that is part of this make and model, however, nissan claims that while my car is the same make, model, year of recall, and falls within the affected vins that my car is not involved...*cn

My wipers have never worked properly. The other day, they completely stopped working. I checked online, and found that my car was part of a recall. I contacted nissan, the manufacture. At first, they said my car was affected, that they would call to make sure that my car had not already been brought in (i am the second owner). I consulted my friend, who i bought the car from. She told me that the wipers were always a little off, but that she never got notice of a recall, and never got them fixed. I also looked further into this issue on this site, where i found the vin numbers of vehicles affected, and also saw how they would fix the problem. Two days later, [xxx], the rep from nissan, called to tell me that my car's recall was "closed". I asked if he said this meant my car wasn't involved in the recall. He stated that he couldn't tell me that. When i presented to him the information that i got online, which identified all affected vin #'s, and that mine was one of them, he said he couldn't tell me if my car was involved, but that "the case is closed". I persisted, stating that my friend who was the sole previous owner said the problem was never fixed, and asked chris to provide me with the date/place where the supposed fixing of the recall took place. Again, the information supposedly doesn't exist. All chris would tell me was that i am out of luck. I sincerely believe they are lying. Right now, i am unable to drive my car in the rain or snow. This is due to a defect of design, and this is due to a recall that never got fixed, and instead of doing the right and the lawful thing, nissan is giving me the run-around. *nm information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

I was rear ended by a mercury minivan (estimated speed 30 mph) and pushed into a dodge minivan. The front bumper got cracked in half, the radiator and battery were also displaced. The trunk was damaged, the rear bumper was almost torn off and the rear drivers side panel shows dents beyond the gas cap. I am being told that because i was rear impacted, and pushed into a vehicle with a higher bumper than my own the air bags may not have been supposed to deploy. A rear impact still throws you forward, and the number of suvs and mini vans on the road makes this seem like a major hazard. Pictures of my car after the accident can be provided upon request. *nm

Dt*: the contact stated while driving various speeds with the windshield wipers engaged, the windshield wiper linkages separated at the joint pivot without warning and became inoperative. The contact replaced the windshield wiper linkages which corrected the problem, however afterwards, the linkages separated again with normal use. The manufacturer was alerted. There was a nhtsa recall, # 98v093000, regarding the windshield wiper linkage. The vehicle was not included in the recall due to the vin.
