| Nissan sentra 2004 model - manufacturer defect - recall required. dear, this is regarding my sentra car - doing service only with nissan dealer. took the car 3 times to dealer for the same problem - only on the 3rd time they could find the problem. seems they never came across this type of problem before. brake booster does not send fluid to brake -stalls the car middle of the freeway/highway from 65/55miles to 5 miles - suddenly comes sudden halt in highway. gave full acceleration, it doesn't move more than 5 miles/hr. returned to car dealer again. avoided several accidents. my services charges were $1,200 - which includes fuel system replacement, brake pads, rotors - at early stage - @39700 miles. very bad experience with nissan for the first time - i had altima before. it is a total manufacturer defect. i am worried as my teen age daughter and wife are driving this car. informed nissan, they said it is normal/common defect. | |||
