Why won’t my 2019 Nissan Sentra start?

For the last week I’ve had trouble starting my car, and then yesterday when I tried to drive to the store, my car didn’t start at all. I commute to work every day, so would love to get this fixed. I’m wondering, why is my 2019 Nissan Sentra not starting?

Oh no—I’m sorry to hear that your car isn’t starting. We definitely want to make sure you get this resolved so you can get back on the road and safely to work!
There are a few common reasons why your 2019
Nissan Sentra
may not be starting:
  • Weak or dead battery
  • Corrosion on battery
  • Faulty ignition switch
  • Faulty ignition lock
  • Faulty starter motor
  • Defective alternator
  • Defective spark plugs
  • Engine failure
You can fix the issue yourself, but this requires time and the ability to properly use your Sentra’s OBD2 (on-board diagnostics) scanner, which can be pretty complex. We suggest taking your car to a mechanic—modern automotive symptoms are extremely advanced and difficult to inspect.
You’ll want to make sure you address this issue immediately—having a car that won’t start is never fun! Another necessary part of owning a car is having great car insurance. With
