NHTSA Complaint #10821762 — 1992 NISSAN SENTRA

GOING STRAIGHT, THE VEHICLE WAS STARTING TO LOSE POWER FIRST. CAUSING THE ENGINE TO BOTTLE OUT OF CONTROL NEARLY CRASHING, LUCKILY REGAINING THE CAR'S CONTROL, AS THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN BUT STILL HAD MOMENTUM, TO PARK AT A EMPTY LOT. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO JUMP START THE CAR (IMAGINING THE BATTERY SIMPLY DIED) THE ENGINE WAS NOT RECEIVING GAS (EVEN AT LITTLE OVER HALF TANK) AND WHEN IN MOVEMENT IT WOULD SEEM FINE AT REST BUT PRESSING THE GAS THE CAR WOULD MOVE FOR 5 FEET FINE BUT START TO THRUST ITSELF CAUSING THE CAR TO JOLT FORWARD SEVERAL TIME BEFORE GOING TO A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN. NO PUSH START NOR JUMP START WAS SUCCESSFUL AT TRYING TO GET MY FAMILY BACK HOME SAFELY. WHEN THIS WASN'T ENOUGH AN ELECTRICAL WIRE SHORT OUT NEARLY CATCHING THE CAR ON FIRE. THUS ENDING THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH PUSHING THE CAR TO A HOME DEPOT (LUCKILY A COUNTY OFFICER HELP PUSH THE VEHICLE THE REST OF THE WAY). RECAP: AXLES ARE BAD ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE FUEL LINES ARE BAD ELECTRICAL WIRING ARE AT A HIGHLY DANGEROUS THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK AS THEY PLEASE (ALL THIS WAS DISCOVERED IN 4 HOURS AS THE VEHICLE DID NOT LAST LONG, THE DRIVER ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN 30 DAYS. AND WE WHERE NOT AWARE THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS IN POOR SHAPE AS THE SELLER SAID IT WAS IN GOOD CONDITION.) THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE DIED.
