The following is a list of any known keyfobs for the Nissan Sentra 2001 as well as their FCC IDs if available

• OR-MAZ-427: 2000-2004 Nissan Sentra / Maxima / 4-Button Keyless Entry Remote / PN: 282684Z400 / NHVBU427 (OEM Refurb)
  FCC ID: NHVBU427

When i am at a stop for a red light the car vibrates then shuts off.

Gas pedal sticks at idle that have to press hard to get moving g again and the vehicle surges forward once the pedal is unstuck. Happens when stopped at stop lights waiting for green signal or stop signs.

Tl* the contact owns a 2001 nissan sentra. While driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled and the ignition failed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed and repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 164,000. *cn

The car is jerking and the engine light is one and the place where i took it show a recall of the crank position sensor issue. I put in my vin on your site and it said that there is no issue but yes its showing up. What is need to be done to get this corrected by nissan? *tr

Was driving at a speed of around 45 mph on a busy colorado roadway and the car all of the sudden stalled. Lost engine power, power steering and brakes. Luckily coasted to the shoulder. The car had to be towed to an automotive shop. It was diagnosed and it was determined the crankshaft and camshaft sensors had failed. I called nissan on 7/12/2016 and reported this safety issue (reference number 22954833). On 7/14/2016 i talked to [xxx] at nissan and he said this was recalled in 2003 and an already closed recall. I asked him if he was going to report this incident to nissan engineers department, because it is a safety issue and a recent recall issue. I stated that because the car stalled while driving that put people?S lives at risk. I asked the nissan representative [xxx] if there have been any other complaints with this car's model about the fact that the crankshaft and camshaft sensors are still failing. He said he didn't know. The nissan representative [xxx] stated to me that with the age of the car this is expected to happen with these parts. I stated to him that because the crankshaft and camshaft sensors are still failing, therefore causing a car to stall while driving is a safety issue and should be reported. He said he was not going to report it to anyone. I stated i was going to report it to the nhtsa, because it is a safety issue and they need to know the issue still exists from their previous recall. The nissan representative [xxx] then stated if you want to contact them go ahead. Please take my submission seriously. If this was recalled in the past and is still happening i fear people's lives are at risk. I hope you have a database that keeps these complaints compiled and if this is happening to other people please get these recalled so the problem can be resolved and no lives are lost. Thank you for your time, i appreciate it. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(b)(6). *tr

Car constantly shuts off while driving, steering and brakes lock up as well. It does this idling at lights and while driving making turns. Very dangerous! I have replaced several sensors (at my expense) to try to keep the car going, but i'm terrified to drive it as i fear it will stall again in traffic and potentially kill me and my family. Checked my vin against the many recalls that would cause these problems and states that none of these recalls apply to this car! Nissan used to be a good company, now it's just a lemon factory! Not to mention their dealership service is absolutely useless! I don't see how such dangerous and potentially deadly issues do not have recalls on them!!!

While driving down the road at 40 plus miles an hour the catalytic converter clogged and caught fire causing a misfire in cylinder one and ruining the ignition coil for that cylinder. I contacted nissan after seeing online that the exact same part has malfunctioned on several other cars of the exact same year make and model. I was instructed to take it to a nissan dealership and have them diagnose the problem for a $89 fee. Even if i had the 89 dollars to pay to have it diagnosed it would not have paid it. I did not use faulty material in the manufacture of the vehicle and feel that any diagnostic fee should have been absorbed by nissan north america since they voluntarily recalled the part. It could have burst into flames and ignited the unused fuel in cylinder one killing me and my children. Upon further investigation into my vehicle it had already had the part replaced once and it started to fail again after i was the unlucky person to buy it. After the purchase of this vehicle, i have replaced the head due to a sand like material that eats away the head gasket. This material is a product of the catalytic converter crumbling and being sucked into the engines cylinders. I have replaced countless sensors and even the cars computer to try to solve the issue. After fixing the issue myself and removing the suspect part i have not had any issues with the vehicle. I am very displeased with the way nissan has chosen to deal with the issues that consumers of their product have. It was explained to me that since the dealerships are privately owned they can charge for diagnosis even if it is to verify if the previously recalled part is eligible for the recall. Had it not been eligible it would be responsible for any repair attempts made by nissan. So i fixed it myself and vowed never to buy another nissan vehicle.

Was driving with children in the car on the highway home from work, and car shut off and stalled. Losing all power, and making it hard to steer off the road. Took it to a local car shop, they had told me there was a recall regarding this issue. And call nissan consumer affairs and they had told me there were no open claims . *tr

Randomly while driving in a highway at 60 mph the engine suddenly stops running and then turns back on. This could result in a crash since i lose control of the vehicle at that speed. I noticed there is a recall issued by nhtsa id # 03v455000 for nissan sentra 2001 regarding this issue. I contacted nissan by phone and they informed there are no recalls pending on my vehicle. I also contacted nissan by e-mail if my vehicle was or was not included in this recall. If not, i would like to know if safercar.Gov can include my vehicle in the recall and have it fixed. *tr
