1995 Nissan Sentra GXE review from North America

One month after purchasing car, spent $900 on repairs. For what? I can't recall, since I've spent so much on repairs and it's been in the shop so many times. I know it had a bunch of oil leaks and there was some sort of major repair job done.

One month later, timing chain broke cost: $450.

Less than one month later, alternator failed Did this repair myself so it costs about $190.

At about 80,000 miles had to have fuel filter replaced. Cost: $260.

90,000 miles the mass air flow sensor went out. cost: $500.

Shortly after, around 92,000 miles, had starter replaced. cost: $350.

Six months later, starter went out again, but was still under warranty. Had to spend $90 on towing and miss a day's work, though I think this repair was the fault of the repair shop.

Car is now at a little over 110,000 miles and is in the shop once again. Not certain of the problem just yet, but think it is the ignition module and can only IMAGINE how much this repair will cost me.

I cannot WAIT to get rid of this car. The car has been well maintained and is only driven to work and around town. Have never taken any long trips in the vehicle or put excessive wear and tear, but have spent a fortune on repairs in two short years. I've probably spent more on repairs than I actually paid for the car. I bought this car because of all the great reviews I found here on CarSurvey... I dunno...perhaps I just bought a lemon?
