Known issues on the 2017 Sentra. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first is an ignition recall: on cars with a mechanical key ignition, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may move the ignition switch out of the run position to the accessory position, turning off the engine, and if the vehicle stalls it can increase the risk of a crash. The second covers the air bags, where a manufacturing error within the inflators means the passenger frontal air bag may not properly deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to passengers. The third covers the brake light switch, which may become contaminated, preventing the circuit from closing and the brake lights from illuminating, again increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 230 complaints for the year.

Whether you are tracing a stall back to the ignition switch, testing the brake light switch circuit, or working through a passenger air bag fault, it holds you to the OEM procedure and the correct value for your 2017 Sentra.
