2026 Nissan SentraRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“Safety issue. I was on the highway when I has a flat. I opened the trunk to get the jack and spare , but to my surprise I found only styrofoam where the spare and jack should be. I called the dealer where I purchased the car and was told Nissan no longer provides those items. This was a real safety concern for me. Im a [XXX] female, often traveling out of town alone and I find Styrofoam! I was stuck on the side of the road...alone. More concerning to me was what if this had been my [XXX] granddaughter sitting there alone. Autos should always have basic safety equipment.

Todays incident was a safety violation..Spare tire and jacks must be standard equipment. A piece of styrofoam will not provide basic safety measures.”

Following the evaluation, I was advised that the image quality was considered normal for the system and that no repair or corrective action was available. While I appreciate the…”

Had the roadway been filled with heavy traffic I wouldn’t have been able to pull over in time the car was engulfed within 30 seconds of the check engine light coming on and me getting out the car after parking. The car had yet to be inspected by insurance but it’s literally burned to the frame I…”
