2025 Nissan Sentra Complaints

I purchased a Gray Nissan Sentra SR brand new on [XXX] with 27 miles on the odometer. The Nissan dealership was located in California. On [XXX] I saw a bubble, approximately 2" inches in diameter on the outside facing sidewall of the right front tire. At the time I saw the bubble, the car had approximately 9,700 miles on the odometer. The vehicle WAS NOT involved in any accident or DID NOT strike any large pot holes or other object that would cause the bubble on the tire. The tire is a manufactured by Hankook and it is part of the Kinergy GT series. Tire size is 215/45R18 89V. Bubble can be seen directly over the tire size on the sidewall (see pictures). This is an extremely serious condition. It can result in catastrophic tire failure causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle and resulting in potential injury or death. I took the vehicle to the Nissan dealership where I bought it and they WOULD NOT cover it under my 36 month new car warranty. I had to pay $339.54 to rep...

The contact owns a 2025 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while reversing out of a parking space at 4 MPH, the rear cross-traffic alert failed to activate, causing the vehicle to crash into a 3-foot cement pole. There were no warning lights illuminated and no chime. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 14,125.

Date of purchase from dealer: right passenger door lock non-functional. the salesperson had to have the door opened from the outside to exit the car. He took the care to be repaired while the paperwork was completed. Subsequently I have been unable to exit both doors without pushing the UNLOCK button. The door handle does not itself open the door. 2. Both screens flicker/dim/darken, and at times are completely black for up to 5 seconds. 3. The rear passenger seat belt is extremely difficult to latch with child safety seat in place. The car was taken to two different dealers without any repair/s completed. I was told the door lock having to be manually opened was a 'safety feature'. I was told that the screen dims on purpose related to a monitor on the dash. I brought a video of it happening. It happens in the dark with no streetlights or change of lighting. I was told that the back passenger seat belt "works fine if you don't put a child safety seat there." The dealer who sold me the...

Summary: I am reporting two significant defects on my 2025 Nissan Sentra that pose safety risks. 1. Suspension/Steering: During low-speed maneuvers (approx. 20mph) such as navigating roundabouts, there is a persistent mechanical creaking/squealing noise from the front passenger side. The dealership technician verified the noise but provided a physically impossible diagnosis, claiming "tires were slipping," despite the vehicle being brand new with tires in perfect condition. This suggests a defect in the control arm bushings or strut mounts which affects steering predictability. 2. Power Window/Electrical: The driver-side window produces a loud, piercing screech when operated. More critically, the window switch has experienced intermittent functional failure where it becomes unresponsive. This is a safety hazard as it could prevent emergency egress or cabin ventilation. Manufacturer Response: > Both issues are documented and have been reported to Nissan Consumer Affairs (Case #565158...
