I OWN A 2004 NISSAN SENTRA, ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE. THEY HAVE SINCE PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION AND JUST TODAY THE CAR BROKE DOWN AGAIN, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HAVE FAILED YET AGAIN.

PURCHASED A 2004 NISSAN SENTRA BRAND NEW WITH 137 MILES ON IT, 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE, HEARD NOISE COMING FROM CAR WHENEVER CHANGING INTO GEAR, (AUTOMATIC TRANS) REPORTED IT TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP, SCHEDULED SERVICE APPOINTMENT, TOOK IN FOR SERVICE, FOUND THAT TRANSMISSION WAS DEFECTIVE, REPLACEMENT UNIT WAS ORDERED, WAS INSTRUCTED TO CONTINUE TO USE THE VEHICLE UNTIL PARTS ARRIVED, CAR HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC, WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT 45MPH, AND HAS ALSO STALLED SITTING STILL AT A LIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION WITH A REFURBISHED UNIT, ALL SEEMED FINE FOR A FEW HUNDRED MILES, NOW SAME NOISES AND COMPLICATIONS FROM ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION ARE IN THIS UNIT, ALONG WITH OTHER PROBLEMS. OW VEHICLE HAS TO GO IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN ON REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION.*AK
