Beautiful Car with Issues

At 500 miles and the car drains the battery overnight with nothing left on. Now for the past 3 nights the headlights are shutting themselves off while driving in the dark and will not come back on for several minutes.

Manufactured in a rush?

I really like the outside look of the car. I love the black trimming detail. The interior is nice as well and the seats are comfortable. It drives very smooth and you hardly feel any bumps on the road. Now There are a few things I don’t like. First off the infotainment system is very glitchy and sometimes CarPlay doesn’t turn on right away. I’ve taken it to be serviced for this but it wasn’t resolved 100%. The backup camera could use improvement as it is kinda blurry. The car is noisy when you turn it on and accelerate. It sounds like a car over 10 years old. Also, a few months after getting the car, I noticed a noise when I would turn and then a little after 10,000 miles I noticed my brakes screeching. I’ve owned this car over 2.5 years and I would not recommend it unless you’re in a budget

Comfortable

Seating is more comfortable than our CT4, front and rear. Pro reviews are way off as usual. Purchased for 16 year old son. No one needs a car that accelerates for a race track. I drive a 2003 Ranger that is truly slow. If I am first at stoplight, next car is half block behind. Most drivers have horse and buggy reactions. Safety features are robust. If you are looking for car for teenager can't go wrong. Purchase Nissan extended warranty. Modern cars can drain you out of warranty. Computer on wheels.

Too much rattle

Okay, I’ll start off saying that this car has great performance and is super fun on deep turns. But the issue is (at least for my Sentra SV), it has the WORST rattle I’ve ever heard in a car. I know what road noise is. And this isn’t it. Something in either the dashboard on the passenger side and or in the passenger door, rattles so loud that I need to listen to my music at a higher level then I’m used too, to drown it out. I know what you’re thinking- “take it back and have them look at it.” I have. Nissan Canada is saying this is completely normal and there’s no resolution to the issue! Buyer beware. Another thing to be aware of when buying this vehicle, is also that sometimes the rear passenger side window may not go down/up. And if it does, then you get this massive streak left. But when everything works (which is a 50/50 at this point for me.) it drives great!

Ok, so: they took 3 months to diagnose and fix the engine mount that had been rattling since I bought it in May, Then the gear shift came right off! Wish I could post a pic! The front end collision warning light flashes off and on, for no apparent reason. Snow, fog, sun, rain, it doesn’t matter. It just arbitrarily blinks. As I that wasn’t enough! It does the emergency brake thing fir NO reason. It just did it again today! Just decided to brake for fun. Don’t worry about the traffic behind me who think I’m slamming on my brakes for fun! Add to that the NEW rattle in the front right of my car. It sounds like it’s coming from the glove box, but I emptied it. And it’s getting worse everyday. What can I say? I should have bought the Mazda I was looking at. SO done with this car!
