Consumer Description

VEHICLE STARTED TO DISPLAY "CHECK ENGINE SOON" LIGHT AT APROX. 55,000 MILES I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, INITIALLY THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD FUEL SENSOR BUT AFTER RETURNING CAR TO ME P0300 ERROR LIGHT CAME BACK ON NEXT DAY. I TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD HEAD GASKET UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND INFORMATION FROM 3 SEPARATE SOURCES THAT NUMEROUS CONSUMERS WHO HAVE PURCHASED THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL 2005 NISSAN SENTRA HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH FAULTY HEAD GASKET I ALSO FOUND NISSAN IS AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH 2005 NISSAN SENTRA HEAD GASKET BUT REFUSE AT THIS TIME TO DO A RECALL MOST LIKELY BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT A MONETARY ISSUE BASICALLY NISSAN CORP. WOULD RATHER HAVE CONSUMERS HAVE TO COME OUT OF THEIR POCKET AND PAY FOR REPAIR THEN STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND DO THE RIGHT THING AND DO A RECALL ON 2005 NISSAN SENTRA HEAD GASKET.
