What's wrong, in plain English
On some Sentras, the front left driveshaft—the part that carries power from the transmission to the wheel—may not be seated correctly, or the clip holding it in place may be loose or missing. This can let transmission fluid leak out and can cause the car to lose power to the wheels while you are driving, so the vehicle may not move the way you expect.
What you should do
2. Contact a Nissan dealer, or Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, to schedule the repair.
3. The repair (inspection and, if needed, driveshaft and transmission replacement) is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
