2001 Nissan Sentra GXE review from North America
"Waste of metal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I currently need a new catalytic converter for some reason.
Back then; there were many time consuming recalls that I had to go to, I believe 4, in which I had to put up with bad servicemen that lost a cover for my engine which I had to pay for.
The "service engine soon" light goes on frequently with minor problems.
My brake pads have always been needed a change.
Electrical wiring was broken before and I had to be stuck at the gas station waiting on a tow truck instead of studying for a final the day after.
I noticed similar problems occuring with other owners of a nissan sentra 2001 gxe. its unbelievable.
General comments?
On a plus side, I do enjoy the cd player and speakers that work pretty well and the comfort and the quiet noise of the engine. but as far as reliability goes, it's a lemon.
