2002 Nissan Sentra GXE review from North America
"Heartache you don't need"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
-Dip stick broke off while changing oil
-Engine over heats like mad
-Thermostat needed to be replaced 4 times. Kept cracking.
-Head gasket busted
-Head cracked
-Window washer fluid reservoir brackets broke
-Small backseat. Can barely fit my 2 year old son in.
-Engine light keeps coming on for spark plugs, but nothing wrong with them.
General comments?
Ran nice for about 2 years and then I watched all my money getting poured into it for repairs. Don't get this car.
