ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
WE HAD A 2000 NISSAN SENTRA GXE, WITH 83245 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH CAR AND IT HAD ALWAYS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED. ON JULY 29, 2010 AFTER A NORMAL DAY'S ACTIVITIES WHICH INVOLVED DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK AND A SHORT TRIP WITHIN TOWN TO AND FROM THE LOCAL SWIMMING POOL, IT WAS AS USUAL PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF OUR HOME AT 8PM. WE LOCKED THE CAR AND WENT INTO THE HOUSE AND WERE SITTING DOWN TO DINNER WHEN AT 8:20PM WE NOTICED A LARGE PLUME OF SMOKE DRIFT BY THE DINING ROOM WINDOW. WHEN WE WENT OUT TO INVESTIGATE WE SAW THICK BILLOWING SMOKE BLOWING OUT OF THE HOOD OF THE CAR. WE COULD ALSO SEE FLAMES UNDER THE HOOD. THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. WE DIALED 911 AND THE FIRE TRUCKS ROLLED IN. THE FIREMEN HAD DIFFICULTY OPENING THE HOOD BECAUSE THE HEAT HAD FUSED THE HOOD TO THE BODY AND THEY HAD TO PUNCH HOLES IN THE SIDE AND USE CROWBARS TO PRY THE HOOD OPEN. AFTER A BRIEF DOUSING WITH FIRE RETARDANT FOAM, THE FIREMEN PUT OUT THE FLAMES WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. ONCE THE FLAMES WERE PUT OUT WE COULD SEE THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WAS A MASS OF BURNED PLASTIC AND RUBBER AND CHARRED AND TWISTED METAL. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAS DECLARED THE CAR TO BE A TOTAL LOSS. THANKFULLY NOBODY WAS INJURED AND OUR HOME WAS NOT DAMAGED. WE ARE SHOCKED AND DISMAYED THAT A SUPPOSEDLY RELIABLE COMPACT CAR COULD WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON BURST INTO FLAMES AND DIE LIKE THIS ONE DID. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 NISSAN SENTRA AND TWICE NOW THE "PLASTIC DIP STICK HANDLE" HAS BROKEN OFF WHEN A MECHANIC PULLED IT OUT TO CHANGE THE OIL... THEY COULDN'T GET IT OUT AND I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER... WHO CHARGES AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE TO GET IT OUT AND REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER PLASTIC HANDLED DIP STICK THAT BROKE, AGAIN...... WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND PUT A PLASTIC HANDLE ON A METAL DIP STICK? HOW STUPID. THE ENGINE HEATS UP AND COOLS AND PLASTIC UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS WILL BECOME BRITTLE.. I'D RATHER USE A POT HOLDER TO PULL OUT A UNIFORM "METAL" HANDLE PART OF A SOLID METAL STICK THAN HAVE IT BREAK ALL THE TIME WITH A PLASTIC HANDLE. JUST LIKE THAT BP OIL SPILL... ENGINEERS COMPLICATE THINGS WHEN THE SOLUTION IS SO SIMPLE .... PLEASE, HAVE NISSAN RECALL THIS STUPID PLASTIC HANDLED DIP STICK AND REPLACE IT WITH AN ALL METAL ONE,.... I'LL SUPPLY THE POT HOLDER OR RAG TO PULL OUT THE HOT DIP STICK MADE OF METAL.... THANK YOU! *TR

TIRES
ON 12-22-07 I PURCHASED 4 BRAND NEW GOODYEAR 45,000 MILE TIRES. A YEAR AND A HALF LATER, AFTER PUTTING APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES ON THE TIRES, I BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS. ON 6-27-09, MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. ON 7-20-09, MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. ON 7-31-09, MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT. AS I RARELY DRIVE MY VEHICLE, ALL 3 OF THESE BLOWOUTS WERE NOT ONLY WITHIN A MONTH'S TIME, BUT HAPPENED WITHIN 1000 MILES. I DID NOT KEEP THE FIRST 2 DAMAGED TIRES BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A RUN OF BAD LUCK. HOWEVER, AS SOON AS THE THIRD TIRE BLEW OUT, I KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM SO I SAVED NOT ONLY THE THIRD BLOWN TIRE, BUT ALSO THE ONE "GOOD" TIRE THAT HADN'T EXPLODED YET. **ON YOUR FORMS I CANNOT FIND MY EXACT TIRES. THEY ARE GOODYEAR GPS3 SPORT, 1857014. *TR

EQUIPMENT
2000 NISSAN SENTRA- MANY CONSUMERS WITH 2000/2001 SENTRAS COMPLAINING ABOUT SIMILAR PROBLEMS. CAR STALLING- SHUTTING OFF WHEN CAR IS SLOWING DOWN. RPM IS AT 4000 AND DROPS TO 0 IMMEDIATELY AND CAR SHUTS OFF. SO FAR, WE\'VE BEEN VERY LUCKY WHEN THIS HAPPENS, WE\'VE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE (CAR IS BASICALLY OPERATING IN NEUTRAL AT THIS POINT). WE HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND TURN ON THE IGNITION AGAIN. WE HAD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT NISSAN COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THEY SAID THEIR COMPUTERS COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY CHARGED US THE LABOR CHARGE ANYWAY EVEN THOUGH THEY COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING. NOW THE WARRANTY IS OVER AND MY PERSONAL MECHANIC JUST FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM AFTER EXPERIENCING THE SAME WITH ANOTHER NISSAN OWNER. IT IS THE IDLE CONTROL VALVE WHICH NEEDS THE COMPUTER TO BE CHANGED AS WELL IN ORDER TO WORK. THIS WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY NISSAN SINCE IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT BUT THEY WON\'T BECAUSE WE DON\'T HAVE WARRANTY ANYMORE. WE CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SELL THE CAR TO SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE DRIVING THESE CARS IS REALLY DANGEROUS. IF YOU READ THE FORUMS, THERE ARE MANY NISSAN SENTRA OWNERS IN THE SAME BOAT. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
A RECALL FOR CRANK POSITION SENSOR FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 01V35700 RECALL DATE: 11/16/01 FOR 2000 NISSAN SENTRA. THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED BY NISSAN IN 2003. IN JANUARY 2007, THE CAR STARTED EXPERIENCE SAME PROBLEM DURING THE RECALL DATE. THE CAR STOPS RUNNING A LOT OF TIME AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES. MY WIFE WAS VERY NERVOUS AND SCARED DRIVING THAT CAR. ON JANUARY 22ND, THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY STATED THAT THE RECALL IS NO LONGER BEING REPLACED. THEY INSPECTED THE CAR AND ORDERED ECM TO SEE IF THE FIXES THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. ON JANUARY 29TH, THE PART WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR FOR BILL SEIDLE'S NISSAN IN MIAMI (10500 NW 12TH STREET) JORGE VILLAR STATED THE PROBLEM COULD BE A CRACK SHAFT OR MASS AIR. THEY SAID TO COME BACK WHEN I AM READY FOR THEM TO GET TO THE ROOT PROBLEM. ON FEBRUARY 6TH, I TOOK THE CAR TO PRECISION TUNE AUTO CARE AND INFORM THEM THAT THE CAR STOPS RUNNING WHEN IT WAS RUNNING. I WANT THEM TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. LATER THAT DAY THEY STATED THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS THAT IT HAS A DEFECTIVE CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I CALLED BILL SEIDLE NISSAN EXPLAINING THAT THE PARTICULAR RECALL BACK IN NOV 2001 IS HAPPENING AGAIN AND I WANT THEM TO CHANGE TO PART OUT AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO REPLACE IT. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO HAVE PRECISION AUTO CARE FIX THE PART AND AT COST OF $150.00. NISSAN DEALER WAS TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO CHARGE ME MORE AND FIX PART THAT WASN'T NEED. THE WHOLE TIME THEY NEED THAT IT WAS A SENSOR THAT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. *NM

2001 1.8 ENGINE IN A SENTRA , DRIVEN NEW FROM VICTORY NISSAN (VN) IN CHESAPEAKE VA, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AFTER ALL THE RECALLS WERE COMPLETED AND RETURNED TO V. NISSAN (VN). $600.00 LATER AND LIGHT COMING ON 3 TIMES IN SEPARATE TRIPS TO (VN) WHILE TRYING DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM I WAS CHARGED $600.00 AND I HAD NOW REACHED 67,000 MILES WITH MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND LIGHT STILL ON AND OFF, THIS TIME IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN INTERNAL ANTIFREEZE LEAK INTO A CYLINDER, PLEASE NOTE $600.00 LATER AFTER BEING TOWED AT MY EXPENSE TWICE, NUMEROUS SENSOR'S AND EVEN THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR, (MY OLD COMPUTER WAS REINSTALLED BY (VN), (VN) WANTS TO MAKE ME A NEW BILL TO FIX THE ENGINE PROPERLY WITH THE MECHANIC EXPLAINING THAT THE ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTIC TOOL WHICH COST $90 IS JUST A STARTING PLACE AND THEY FOLLOW THE CODES AND REPLACE THE CHEAPEST STUFF FIRST LIKE ALL MY SENSOR'S AT $200 A POP, EVEN THE ONES THAT WERE NOT BAD ACCORDING TO THE TEST, AND AFTER I QUESTIONED IT, I WAS TOLD WELL THE "CERAMIC WAS CRACKED" AND IT WAS NOW OR LATER! IF IT WAS JUST A HEAD GASKET THAT BILL WAS GOING TO BE NOW $2,200 AND VICTORY NISSAN HAD THE NERVE TO TELL ME AFTER $2,200.00 THAT I STILL NEEDED TO HAVE THE HEAD SENT OUT TO BE PRESSURE CHECKED (OPTIONAL BUT REQUIRED) FOR AN ADDITIONAL $200 TO $300 AND WE CAN WORK OUT SOMETHING ABOUT MY $600.00! I REPLACED THE ENTIRE ENGINE FOR $1234.00 AND HONDA IS CALLING MY NAME! CERTAINLY UNHAPPY WITH MY FIRST AN ONLY DEALING'S WITH NISSAN AND ESPECIALLY WITH VICTORY NISSAN. THEY INSISTED ON THE SAME MECHANIC WORKING ON THE CAR AND I HAD TO WAIT 7 HOURS IN THE WAITING ROOM ONCE AND NUMEROUS TIMES FOR 4 AND 5 HOURS IN ADDITION WHILE I WATCHED THE MECHANICS MOVE IN SLOW MOTION. BOTTOM LINE NEVER DEAL WITH VICTORY NISSAN! *NM
