POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I ONLY RECEIVED A BRUSH OFF AT NISSAN - I WENT TO AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC TO FIX THIS VEHICLE - I KEPT THE TRANSMISSION CASING. THIS PARTICULAR MECHANIC HAS FIXED AT LEAST 10 1996 SENTRAS - BUT HE SAID THE WEAK CASING WAS ODD IN MY CASE. I BELIEVE IT IS A RESULT OF POOR MANUFACTURING. CONSUMERS DESERVE TO BE SOLD GOOD, SAFE PRODUCTS! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT NISSAN CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS! PLEASE RESPOND WITH ADVICE - I WANT TO HAVE THIS CASING EXAMINED BY EXPERTS BECAUSE I THINK NISSAN PUTS CUSTOMERS OFF AND OTHER CUSTOMERS JUST "LET IT GO" SO NISSAN KEEPS GETTING AWAY WITH POOR MANUFACTURING.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEFORE IN THE PAST 3 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR. I WILL BE DRIVING AND FOR NO REASON THE CAR CUTS OFF. SOMETIMES I AM DRIVING UPHILL, SOMETIMES ON STRAIGHT, FLAT ROAD. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED YESTERDAY BECAUSE FOR NOW REASON, AND NO WARNING MY CAR STOPS DEAD IN IT'S TRACKS. ALL THE ENGINE FAIL LIGHTS COME ON, AS IF YOU WERE JUST STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING. THE CAR HASN'T BEEN DRIVEN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, MEANING IT'S NOT OVERHEATED WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE HAD A FUEL INJECTOR REPLACED. TEMPERATURE SENSORS REPLACED MORE THEN ONCE. ALTERNATOR WAS RECENTLY REPLACED AND NUMEROUS BATTERIES. NOTHING CORRECTS THE PROBLEM.
