| Severe engine failure. i bought my 2002 nissan sentra spec-v with only 7,000 miles on it and thought i had a great car. thank goodness i opted for the extra 100,000 extended warranty. my car's engine experienced massive oil consumption around 60,000 and i noticed the whole time i owned the car that the oil was always low each time i changed it. i used only mobil 1 full syn every 5,000 miles. the engine failed 3,000 over the standard 60k powertrain warranty. i fought with nissan for 1 month while they kept my car until i provided oil change receipts. once i provided them they changed the complete engine which totaled $8,500 and more than the car was worth anymore. further for about 70,000 the car had extended crank problems and were severe in hot or extreme cold weather. the car would take 20 seconds or longer to crank over while pumping the gas. after my 3rd complaint at my 3rd nissan dealer they finally fixed the problem and put in a new fuel pump and sensor. the car has 98,000 and 36,000 miles after the new engine. i am thinking of getting rid of it before more trouble happens beyond my 100k warranty. *tr | |||

| My 2002 nissan sentra se-r stalled several times and the check engine light came on. i took it to the nissan dealer and they said it was the throttle control unit. they replaced the unit twice because the first one was defective. i have since taken the car back to nissan 4 times for the same problem. it is not being fixed properly. they also replaced the computer and charged me $1200 for what was basically an oil change. the check engine light just came on again today and i will take it back to nissan tomorrow. there is something definitely wrong with this car and it is dangerous to drive as it stalls out while i am driving. i am not going to rish mine or my childrens life because nissan can't figure out how to fix this dangerous problem! they keep blaming it on other things like the brand of gas i use! it's disgraceful how dealerships do this. | |||

| The oxygen sensors in my 2002 nissan altima completely broken away from the catalytic converter. (not at the bolt, but at the welded or fused end) this is allowing exhaust fumes to fill the inside of the cab of the automobile car. *tr | |||
