On sept 16, 2014, my 2002 Nissan Sentra would not start. Thinking it was a battery problem I had it towed to my mechanic's shop. A day or so later, the mechanics could not find what was wrong with it. I had the alarm worked on recently and the alarm installers were nice enough to swing by the shop and take a look at it. Turns out the alarm was not the issue. While talking about the car's problem, the head mechanic and head alarm installer kept mentioning the word "recall". Next I had it towed to the dealership, melloy Nissan. A melloy mechanic said that the computer was bad and a replacement would cost $900. The mechanic told me it was not under warranty. I researched the emc problem online. I called Nissan USA about the emc since it seems to be a common problem with Sentras. They said they would take my complaint under consideration. On the sept. 26th, Nissan USA said that they would pay for half of the emc's cost. The dealership called shortly later, saying the total cost of the repair would be $667. I don't know if the emc failed because of the emc box's foam curing (a common problem covered by warranty) or it was just a buggy unit (a common problem not covered by warranty). From what I have read online, it seems even if the emc's failure is due to the foam, Nissan will replace the foam, but the owner must pay for a new emc. Both should be covered. My car's mileage is slightly over 35,000 miles.

I bought a 2010 Nissan Sentra s on Friday July, 2. It had 47 miles on it, 10 of which I put on during a test drive. On Wednesday, July 7, I dropped by the dealership to complete the trade-in, and my new car suddenly stopped while I was in the Nissan parking lot. After waiting at the dealership for 4 hours, I was sent home with a rental car. After a few days, the dealership alerted me that the my electronic computer unit failed. They replaced the system and I got my car back on Wednesday, July 14. After having the new car in my possession for less than a week, it suddenly stopped again, and would not start. I had to be towed to the dealership. They have no idea what is causing the electronic computer unit to fail. This is the second time in less than a month that the electronic computer unit in my 2010 Nissan Sentra.
