NHTSA Complaint #10158983 — 2000 NISSAN SENTRA

3RD YEAR OF COLLEGE, NEEDED A DECENT CAR, PICKED 2000 NISSAN SENTRA. CAR WORKED GREAT AT FIRST, THEN LED TO HESITATION AND EVENTUALLY STALLING. I THOUGHT I FIXED THE PROBLEM, ORDERED A NEW THROTTLE POSITION CHAMBER (CAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE PROBLEM) REPLACED THE PART, GOT A TUNE-UP, ONLY TO END UP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE MIL ILLUMINATED. TOOK VEHICLE TO NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, AND THEY SAID IT STARTED FROM A SENSOR GONE BAD. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY OF THE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, AND I THOUGHT I WAS SAFE BY FINANCING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIRS WAS OVER $2000 FROM THE DEALER. I NEEDED TO HAVE THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM REPLACED BECAUSE THE BAD WIRING SHORTED EVERYTHING OUT. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO CONTINUE MAKING THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS AND PRICEY MAINTENANCE SO I LET HER GO..SADLY I HAVE A NISSAN ALTIMA NOW AND WAS DIRECTED TO THIS SITE SEARCHING FOR A RECALL A FAMILY MEMBER SAW ON THE NEWS TODAY ABOUT MY VEHICLE. THIS IS DEFINITELY MY LAST NISSAN! *NM
