1988 Nissan Sentra review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger seat belt got stuck when hooked up and so I had to cut it.
Transmission has been weak in reverse the entire time I have had the car, but has never failed.
Have to top up the oil every week or two cause it burns and leaks it a bit.
The drivers side window mechanism broke and therefore I cannot roll down window anymore.
When I am in rush hour traffic I need to put car in neural cause it sometimes stalls when fan kicks in, but the car is a rebuilt so it could be from faulty wiring or something.
The air conditioning in this car is awesome and one of the main reason I have kept it.
I have done nothing to this car except changed the fuel filter and it has never failed me yet.
