NHTSA Complaint #10251441 — 2003 NISSAN SENTRA

1. THE CAR DIES OUT WHILE DRIVING -SUDDENLY ALL THE GAUGES BECOME ERRATIC AND ENGINE DIES OUT. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON. BOUNCING GAUGES OCCUR WHILE DRIVING. 2. SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT COMES ON EVERY 3-4 MONTHS. THE CAR DIES OUT WHILE DRIVING ONCE A YEAR. BOUNCING GAUGES OCCUR AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH -ERRATIC AND SPORADIC. BECAUSE OF THIS ONGOING PROBLEMS THAT THE DEALER HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIX, IT GIVES ME GREAT EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND FEAR OF DRIVING. IT WAS PURE LUCK THAT I DID NOT GET INTO ACCIDENTS SO FAR. BUT IT IS TIME THAT SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO STOP THIS ONGOING UNSOLVED PROBLEMS. 3. THE DEALERSHIP ALWAYS TAKES A LOOK AT IT, BUT THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEMS FOR YEARS. ONE TIME THEY RETURNED MY CAR, STATING, "THERE IS A GHOST IN YOUR CAR." DURING THE LAST VISIT AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY STATED IT (CAR DIES OUT) WOULD COME BACK AGAIN, AND THAT NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED THEY WOULD DO FURTHER TEST. WHAT IF THE "NEXT TIME" GETS ME INTO A FATAL ACCIDENT? *TR
