2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec-V from North America - Comments

I own a 2003 Sentra Spec V and I HAVE A LOT of problems. It has 70000 miles, my cat was bad, and like 2 weeks later my engine blew up, so I spent like $3500 to fix the car.

The car is beautiful, but I really don't recommend to buy it, or if you have good money and it doesn't bother you, let's try it.

I bought a brand new 2002 spec v and it's been a nightmare. It's paid off now and has 109k miles but was parked for about a year with too many problems. Head gasket, losing oil too often, MAF sensors basically ever sensor you can name and that doesn't include all the recalls. Can someone tell me if there's something we all can do about this company putting up some faulty products. I'm just a poor college guy and now stuck without a car for about a year. I hear the same problems over and over again.

I have a 02 spec v with 151k on it I do hear the grinding noise everyone else hears in model's 02 -04 does anyone know what it can be and yes the inside does fall apart like glove box dome lights.

Hi, I just bought a 2002 Sentra SE R Spec V with 77k. I've had it for 3 months now, but it's been sitting outside my house for 1.

My clutch went because the person who's had it last beat the living s*** out of it.

I had to get my headers replaced, because the same guy gutted it out.

I'm getting the same problem as some of you. I'm burning oil. I'm hearing noises under acceleration, but the go away when I let off.

My passenger side arm rest pulls right off when someone pulls on it to close the door, which is kinda funny. But all in all, it is a great car. It took me from CT to NH 3 hrs, from NH to MA 2.5 hrs, from MA back to NH 2.5 hrs, then NH back to CT 3 hrs.

I love the car, but would I recommend it, probably not.

My girlfriend has 2002 SER Vspec. Yes she had some problems with the cheap plastic interior, but that is not the point. The car was bought brand new. Never had a problem until it hit 86000 miles, and is now dead in the water. Dealership says it was the engine wiring harness. It was replaced and the car does not work. I have checked for fuel and spark and it is present. Have not idea why the car will not run. I even think that the dealership has no idea what is wrong either. Frustrated and will probably call the junk yard and trash the car since it is nothing but trash in the first place. Anyone have a similar issue?
