    - FREDERICKSBURG, VA

    I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR YET AND I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED TWICE & THE ENGINE REPLACED BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OIL IN IT. WHAT KIND OF CAR HAS THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS? THE GEARS SHIFT HARD NOW TO WHERE IT ABOUT JERKS YOU AND I DRIVE AN AUTOMATIC. NOT TO MENTION THE DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A RENTAL WHILE THEY HAD TO PRACTICALLY REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE. *NLM

    WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AT 4:30PM DRIVING ABOUT 60 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR STUCK CAUSING THE 2002 NISSAN SENTRA SE-R TO ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE FLOOR MAT HAD COME LOOSE AND JAMMED THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO SHIFT TO AND KICK THE PEDAL LOOSE. VERY NEARLY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS FAULT WAS THE SUBJECT OF AN EARLIER RECALL, BUT THE SOLUTION BY NISSAN DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE FLOOR MAT EASILY COMES OFF THE PUNY LITTLE PEG ON THE FLOOR. *JB

    I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2002 SENTRA SE-R SPEC V IN FEB OF 2002. I HAVE HAD MAJOR ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, BEFORE THE CAR WAS EVEN A YEAR OLD I HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS 3 TIMES. THEY REPLACED MY TRANSMISSION 2 TIMES. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT WAS WITH A 2003 TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN MY CAR IN 2 TIMES FOR THE ENGINE. MY ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED 2 TIMES. BOTH TIMES MY ENGINE WAS FOUND WITH NO OIL IN IT EVEN THOUGHT IT WAS FAR FROM BEING DO FOR AN OIL CHANGE. MY CAR CONSUMES OIL AND I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO ADD. THESE PROBLEMS ARE EXCESSIVE AND RIDICULES FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD. *JB
