I OWN A 2003 NISSAN SENTRA S-ER SPEC V. WHEN I SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR AT RPMS OF 2500 AND HIGHER, THE SHIFTER FEELS LIKE IT POPS OUT OF 1ST GEAR. ALSO, WHEN SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL A GRIND (WITH THE CLUTCH DOWN). THESE 2 PROBLEMS HAPPEN ON OCCASION, ESPECIALLY ON A COLD START. HOWEVER, I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE MY CAR GRIND GEARS BY HOLDING THE CLUTCH DOWN AND MOVING THE SHIFTER IN AND OUT OF 3RD GEAR. *JB

I PURCHASED MY 2003 NISSAN SENTRA GXE ON JUNE 10, 2003. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE 7 WORK ORDERS ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT DOESN'T COUNT EACH TIME I HAD TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SHOW THE PROBLEM AND THEN MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND WINDOW, A DING THEY PUT IN THE HOOD, NOT EVEN CLOSE TO STICKER GAS MILEAGE AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON FOR NO REASON FOUND AND NOW THERE'S A RECALL ON THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFIED OF YET. *LA

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THE MANUFACTURER SENT A TECHNICIAN TO REVIEW THE DAMAGES AND DETERMINED WHERE THE FIRE STARTED. THE TECHNICIAN HAS NOT CONTACTED THE OWNER WITH THE FINDINGS FROM THE INVESTIGATION. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB
