I have a 2009 nissan sentra. when you turn on the heat it makes loud noises like a tank. took it in and they stated that leaves had gotten into the heater motor and that was not covered on warranty as it is a nature problem. I have driven for over 35yrs and many different vehicles and have never heard of this. i park my car in a garage and not exposed to leaves and debris and now I have a $700 bill to clean the leaves . isnt this a nissan vehicle problem in the way they made it?

Unfortunatelly i have seen this several times, where mice get inside of the heater assemblies and duck work and blower motor. it does happen more with cars that are in garages. in your case/nissan sentra, you have to remove dash board assembly to access blower motor. that is a poor design on nissan part. the fact that you have a mouse or chipmunk in there is not nissan defect. we had people actually call their insurance company to get it covered/repaired and they do it. i have seen whole chipmunk families inside the blower motor cage, with little ones still alive. good luck.

Just replaced the blower motor and resistor on 09 nissan sentra. Air came on for a minute making loud noises then blow a fuse and quit working.

You mention loud noises after installing the blower motor, I would check to see if the loud noises came from the fan not being properly installed or loose, possibly something interfering with the rotation. If you find that you probably can replace the fuse and reinstall everything as it should be.

You could just plug the blower motor in without installing it to test it. If it doesn't blow the fuse again, fix the obstruction/alignment and you should be good.

Turning the heat on makes lot of noise

If the blower motor is noisy, the bearing may be getting bad inside the blower. This will require replacement of the blower motor unit. In some cases, foreign objects can fall into the motor casing assembly also making a noise. The motor will need to be removed for inspection

My daughter has a 2006 nissan sentra about 6 months ago she hit a curb with the front passenger side tire we replaced the tire rim but its making a loud humming noise any advise would be greatly...

That loud humming noise you are hearing is the wheel bearing. After hitting the curb the bearing took a hit and became a little wobbly and over time the grease has seeped out and started causing the humming.So just replace the wheel bearing and anything else that might be loose or damaged like the tie rod and ball joints. if those issues are not corrected it might happen again down the road. good luck and glad to shed some light on your issue

It could be a broken Oil Pump, Is there oil in the engine or when you hit the pothole you could have hit the Exhaust Pipe and broke the pipe causing a Exhaust Leak.
