    While i was having my oil changed, the dipstick broke. Nissan tells me that this will cost $366 to fix!!! After looking online, hundreds of other people have had the same problem. The guy at troncolli nissan in atlanta says that its basically "tough luck" because i should have paid the insane prices of a dealership oil change. Nissan needs to recall this because it is obviously a problem, and if they fix them before…

    Took 2001 nissan sentra to penzoil to have the oil changed. When the service man attempted to pull the oil stick out to verify the new oil level, the molded plastic handle of the stick broke, leaving the metal stick out of reach, down the long metal tube that leads to the engine. To make matters worse, part of the molded plastic was attached to the top of the stick, making retrieval by magnet an impossibility.*ak

    My engine failed again while driving 70 mphs on the freeway, the very day after the car had been repaired for yet another defect sensor.

    This complaint has to do with the failure of the oil stick for the 2001 nissan sentra. I have owned the car for less than four years and have had two different oil sticks break in that time. The first time the oil stick was broken it was easily removed from the stem it rests in. On the latest break it has become lodged inside the stem. From what i can gather the standard fee most mechanics and dealerships range from…
