Over the past 3 years, i've had my 2002 nissan sentra ser spec v into nissan 15 times for service. They have yet to fix it. Every 1-7 months i have to bring it back. The car has shut off and stalled on me in traffic, which is very dangerous. The ecm has been replaced twice ' many others have reported problems with the ecm online ' i believe it is bad, as well as other parts, and nissan needs to issue recalls on this…

Mechanic reported dipstick missing in 2002 nissan sentra. Purchased a new dipstick; when i tried to insert it, i met resistance. Called dealer --still waiting for call back. Looked on internet --hundreds (at least) of consumers describe the same problem. Defective dipsticks break and lead to repairs of $150 - $400 each incident to remove metal stick from engine. Could permanently damage engine. Manufacturer claims…

Dip stick of a 2002 nissan sentra gxe has snapped off at the plastic handle and is now lodged in my oil tank. From what i have researched, this is a pretty common occurrence, resulting in high dealership charges and severe engine problems, including engine failure. Great work nissan! *jb

I got my oil changed by firestone on 8/6/05 and they told me after my vehicle was done that the dipstick was broken upon arrival of the vehicle. They told me it would cost 150 dollars to replace this. I told them that i got my oil changed in philadelphia prior to me moving down to texas at a jiffy lube. They advised me to call them and talk to them. When i called jiffy lube they told me that this was a known problem…

The oil level gauge (dipstick) of 2002 nissan sentra is very easy to break. My dipstick's a rubber/plastic handle was broken during oil change, and the blade was stuck in the tube and very difficult to get it out. A dealership asked $100 to just pull the broken blade out. I believe this is a direct result of poor design, and i have also seen numerous similar failures on nissan sentra. The manufacturer needs to…

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…

I bought a 2002 nissan sentra se-r spec-v and in the one year that i had the vehicle, i've had a couple of things replaced due to defective parts. First, i had problems starting the vehicle and it was later determined that it was the fuel pump. Then they had to replace the clutch bearing because of some noise while shifting. Then they had to replace the cam sensor as the vehicle did not start one day. The vehicle…
