1988 Nissan Sentra E review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Fuel injector replaced (twice)
-Myriad electrical problems
-Struts replaced
-Door hinge bushings replaced
-Bad engine-body ground
-Numerous bumps and rattles
-Poor quality upholstery
-CV joints failed
-Clutch failed
General comments?
Was a fairly expensive car to keep after 75,000 miles even with religious maintenance. I sold it at 96,000 having spent one too many days fixing the little things slowly falling apart. Would have a hard time buying another Nissan after this experience.
