Every since i have had the 2013 nissan sentra the brakes make an extremely loud sound when applied. The dealer insists that nothing is wrong with them but, i beg to differ. The loud scrubbing sound when brakes are applied is not normal for any new car. I am highly disappointed. *tr

When i am stopped at a light, the car seems to creep forward when brake pedal depressed. I need to continually apply more pressure and the pedal becomes spongy. Also, i now notice that when stopped or going slow, engine fumes are coming from my air/heating vents. Don't know if its exhaust or an oil leak somewhere. Car only has 400 miles on it and i've had car since end of february 2013. *tr

The passengers seat air bag sensor does not recognize when there is someone sitting and will not activate.
