I have a 2005 Nissan Sentra in April 2006. Since February 2008, I have had the same continuous problem. I get in my car and it simply will not start. I bought the car from Toyota and took it to them to fix it. They were unable to fix it and they sent it to Nissan. When Toyota tried to fix it they told me it was bad gas, that didn't fix the problem, they then said it was a starter, they put a starter on it, that didn't fix the problem. When Nissan got it, they fixed something, I really don't remember at this point. A few months later, the cart wouldn't start again, took it back to Nissan, they said it was a head gasket, they fixed it. Saturday when to get in my car, it wouldn't start. It eventually started later on that day. Been driving the car. This morning (4 days later) car will not start. I am at my wits end. I bought a new car because my old car was unreliable. Now my new car is just as unreliable. Bought a Nissan because supposedly it is a really good car. So far, not convinced. I now have to pay to have the car fixed because it not under warranty any longer. I am really going to have to have a heart to heart talk with Nissan regarding this continuous problem.
I have a 2005 Nissan Sentra. I've had it for a year when it started squealing under the hood, it also would shake for at least 5 minutes everytime I started it in the morning. Eventually the car wouldn't start and I was told I needed a new engine. The gauges didn't warn me of any problems before hand. I took the car for regular services, always on time for oil changes. The cd player was also replaced once and still doesn't work. The car no longer has warranty and I don't have the money for a new engine at this point in time.
I had a head gasket problem and wire problem but I only had the car for 19 month in been in the shop more than I have had the car.
