Recall on gas tank, hose had to be replaced on recall.
Transmission has started slipping. Dealer assures me they all do that. I don't take much comfort in that statement. I now shift it as if it were a semi automatic. I start with shift selector in second, and when it hits around thirty mph, I shift it into drive and momentarily let off gas pedal, and it shifts pretty good. I know I shouldn't have to do this, but I know the dealer won't fix it. Think I'm going back to Ford. Never had a drive train issue with Ford. Perhaps I'll try another dealer.
I like everything about this car except the slow shifting tranny, and the harsh ride quality. I look down the road ahead of me for any kind of bump or pothole, and swerve to avoid them. Getting too old for this harsh of a ride. It felt pretty good when I first got it (ride quality), but our town has a bunch of potholes this year.
The dealer is no help at all.
Glad I bought the extended warranty, I can use it for toilet paper, if I run out.
Should mention that Nissan corporate calls all the time to ask me what I think of the dealer. When I tell them I can hear them yawn. So much for Japanese cars.
This car is made in Mexico. Transmission problems were common for the 2005 models. I had a 2004 and it gave me absolutely no problems, ride quality and power and acceleration could've been better but overall was a good car. My friend has the 2007 (first year for the new bodystyle) and it is leaps and bounds better in quality than the 2000-2006 models.
Hello.
I'm the original reviewer on this 05 Sentra. Just wanted to add at 25,000 miles the head gasket has sprung a leak. What next. I'm going back to Ford next week, and trade this lemon in.
