Nissan Sentra SE-R
| | Model of the car: | Nissan Sentra SE-R | | | General comments: | This is my 2nd 2002 NissanSentra SE-R Automatic. The first one I had was the Radium color beautiful car rode good handled good and was actually quiet. I got ran off the road by a White Chevy Cavalier (it was raining and had almost gotten run over many a time in it, must have been the color)and it was a total loss. That car had only one problem the front passenger window regulator (cable that makes window roll up and down) broke thank god in the up position.
Well then I got another Nissan Sentra SE-R same everything except the color this one is Red. Well so far i have had the Driver side power door lock switch go bad, it got replaced within about 2 weeks. While driving at about 55 it sounds like there is a door or window cracked or something, losts of wind noise, This was not in the first car i had. The next problem has been a pisser to say the least. The climate control selector knob for the hot to cold setting broke. It stuck on HOT. At first I was told it was the cable, then it was the door that was stuck and woulnt let go. Well this is north Georgia, it gets cold down here somewhat in the winter. Thank god it got stuck in the hot position. Go figure. Well this would fog up the windows when it rained. Heat plus rainy weather equals Fogged up windows. This got to be a saftey issue and I told Nissan this I think they got the point when I threated to call the NTSB and NIHS to report a saftey fault. Well they finally said the foam sealing tape came off and the residue left acted like a glue and sealed up the door and the cable broke because the door wouldnt move causing the cable to twist. Broke around first of November, got fixed first part of Feb. 2003. You should see what they had to do to get the thing fixed. The whole inside of the car from the front seats forward to wind-sheild had to come out even the airbags. After it was put back together it had scratches every where some small some quite large. Well lets see do I even want them to touch the thing agian. The salesman I bought the first car said i needed to be more careful with the car. He was just pissed because I didnt buy the second car from him. His model didnt have the Rockforfostgate radio and wanted 400 dollars more than i paid for the first one. He said 200 dollar price increase and 200 dollars extra for the sales tax increase. Ill give him the tax thing but for a repeat customer he wouldnt drop 200 bucks, i figured he had done went and bumped his head or something. Buyer Beware. I HAVE A LEMON... Oh its red easier to see right. WRONG I have almost been killed in this RED EGG atleast 3 times so far...... Oh for the guy who has the dealership telling him to talk to his insurance company. Tell the dealer ship that," what do WE need to do to make the vehicle WHOLE agian that i need to be made WHOLE agian" especially if its on payments. and if they dont listen then tell them the little word,,,
SUBJUGATION say it like its spelled. That will get there attention. Thats when you tell the insurance company or even the lender that the vehicle is in need of repair and the manufacturer wont honor the warranty nor fix it and you have your insurance company or lender pay for it minus the deductable of course, and then they seek legal action against the dealer to get back the money and your deductable. Some insurers will count it agianst you untill they get there money back. Go Figure......... | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | Its not bad desgin just poor manufacture I think. The Sentras a built in Mexico and just about all of the car comes from Mexican suppliers except engine and trannys which come from japan, atleast my car did. The ability for the dealers to get parts is horrid. Ive heard of wait times of 3 or 4 months even 6 months for parts. I had to wait about 4 months to get my nightmare listed above fixed. Consider the fact that ive had 2 cars and 3 problems one a major wait to get fixed well ill say that the Sentras weakness just I dont trust it nor Nissans any more. The car has lost all charm. Nissan basically just told me to go away when I called to see what they would do about all the problems ive had with it. | | | Previous car: | 2000 Honda Accord EX-V6, 1987 Toyota Camry, 2002 Nissan Sentra, Lexus EX-300, 1997 Nissan Maxima, Pontiac Lemans SE Sedan. Test drove and should have gotten a RSX 5 speed auto. |
