| 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 | |||

| I have looked and found no recall on this poorly designed engine component. plastic dipstick handle breaks. my car is a nissan 2000 sentra gxe 1.8: the plastic engine oil dipstick handle broke off, leaving the stainless steel stick inside the tube. i called my local nissan dealership service department for a method of extracting the defective part. i was told it would be 'very expensive' for the service shop to do, that i should try to 'figure it out' myself and 'let me know how you did it' if i was successful. the only oem replacement part for this item is an exact duplicate of the plastic handle type that broke, so i am not using that again! this plastic component is poorly designed and can permit the stainless steel 'stick' to be forced into the oil pan. *jb | |||

| I brought my 2000 nissan sentra gxe to sears auto center for new tires on saturday morning. when the mechanic asked if my car needed an oil change, i said sure. when i returned to pick up my vehicle, the mechanic handed me two pieces, the plastic o ring and a bit of stem from my dipstick, and told me that the rest of my dipstick had slid down about six inches into the tube. because plastic was still on one end, he could not get the stick out and sent me to my nissan dealer. the mechanic at nissan seemed surprised at what he saw. i asked him what needed to be done without my telling him what sears had said. the nissan mechanic and the sears mechanic concurred: not only was getting the dipstick out going to be a problem, but as it bounced around in the tube, it could drive its way through my oil pan and bust my crankshaft or cause the oil to back over the engine. either way, the prospect is dim. how much to get the dipstick out? due to nissan's design, the mechanic said that part of my engine was in the way of the oil pan and the labor alone would cost $300, an exorbitant sum for someone's stupidity. what happened to metal dipsticks? when i contacted nissan headquarters about this, i was told that my warranty period was over. i was very upset at this news considering that this problem would not manifest within the warranty period! plastic takes a bit of time to be heat-damaged and snap like that, but when sitting right next to the engine manifold...well, duh! right now, i am stuck with a broken dipstick, which may or may not make my car a fire-breathing death trap. apparently my gripe with nissan is not isolated--just check out the griped from this website, also attached below. http://www.broomeman.com/mt/archives/001156.html help! i don't think this should be my problem, but nissan doesn't think so. *jb | |||

| This vehicle is equipped with california emission exhaust, and the problem is the front bracket that suspends the exhaust between the manifold and the rear bracket had rusted and fallen off. there was no particular event that caused this to happen and we learned of the problem be the knocking sound made by the exhaust pipe hitting a bar on the body when driving over bumps as small as 3 inches. the vehicle had been driven around 24,000 miles, and the quote for a replacement part was $217 plus labor and taxes. there are to date no aftermarket alternatives, and the way the bracket is attached to the exhaust is an inferior design that will ensure premature failure.*ak | |||

| This car has never once passed an emission test on the first try. as of july 2004 the service engine soon light came on every now and then. i took the car for it's emission test and it failed! the error code was p1491 (bypass valve/cut valve). after spending $500, i thought the car was fixed. i took the car to the emissions facility and it passed. i drove out of the parking lot and the service engine soon light came back on and has stayed on constantly since then. now i'm a due for another emission test and once again it fails! same error code. clearly there is a defect. something must be done to rectify the situation. *jb | |||

| While driving, engine check light came on. after taking it to the dealer i was told the mass flow/ air flow sensor was bad and was due to me using an non-oem airfilter. i sent the airfilter back to purolator, who responded that their product met all oem requirements. i looked up the recall information and found out there was a recall for the service engine light coming on due to other issues. i took it back to the dealer, who never told me abou the recall, and they completed the work. i have yet to have the mass flow/ air flow sensor replaced due to cost $700 as well as my feeling is that this is a defective product. i have looked through the nhtsa web site and found several other mass flow sensor problems that have yet to be address for this model year car. i have contacted nissan and they told me the dealer knows what is best for my vehicle and they would not do anything!*ak | |||

| At about 65,000-70,000 miles the service engine light came on. at the same time my right front wheel began making noise. i took my car in and found out that i needed to replace the hub assembly. not knowing that it had been recalled for the hub assembly, i ended up paying over $500 for the parts and labor. about 15,000 miles later my car lost all power while driving on the freeway. after paying to have the crank position sensor replaced i received a recall notice warning of the problem.i took my car to the dealer and they performed the recall work. the service light is still on and my car often performs poorly and loses power when trying to accelerate. i am unable to pass smog in ca because the light is on. all of these problems are not coincedental. nissan has manufactured a faulty system and they need to own up and repair it.*ak | |||

| Check engine light repeatedly on since 2002 through every recall has been fixed and now a mass air flow sensor needs to be replaced for a lot of money with no proof this was not the original problem while the car was under warranty. have brought it in again for this light back in jan. and it is still not fixed because at first they said it was the recall and that didn't work again and then they forgot to order the part while my car was there. nissan consumer affairs was also rude and not helpful with this.*ak | |||

| Nissan dealership service diagnosed air flow meter failure - engine light on p0171 b1 fuel lean. event happened at same time as when the crank sensor and ecm case recall work done except dealership claims separate - not part of covered recall work. auto only has 64,889 miles and dealership claims engine trouble and repair over $600. nissan dealership stated toyota slaes dealership should have noticed this during claimed 160 point inspection, as could not have happended in short time of my ownership. toyota dealership who sold it also did not repair or disclose wheel recall and owner, in just one year of ownership, had to replace three flat/damaged and irrepairable tires as a result, out-of-pocket. now for nissan to diagnose engine air flow meter failure at same time as other engine recalls is just too ironic timing. believe should be part of these same related or another recall.*ak | |||
