Ironically we had our 30,000 mile service the next day but nissan said nothing is wrong. Online…

Bought 2017 nissan sentra brand new from dealership and was very unfairly overcharged. I was charged $23,014.53 for a car that was only worth $16,000 and has so many issues. Gas tank sometimes will stop at 200 miles and will not fill up, speedometer shoots up and down while driving, speed does not stay at a certain speed and slows down automatically. The engine jerks and sputters while driving on freeways and…
