2005 Nissan Sentra SG-L review from Malaysia
"This car has many surprises!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My Sentra 1.6 SG-L (2005 model) is only slightly over 2 months old. Just did my 5000km service. I was very happy with my car initially, but I had to replace the unit shift or "computer box" as problems were detected during the 5000km service. One week later the alarm was giving me problems and needed to be replaced. I have to manually open the driver's door with the key as it is connected to the alarm which need to be changed out. Luckily there is a 3 year warranty period and these parts were replaced for free.
I am very surprise to have so many problems with a 2 month old Nissan Sentra which is the latest model. Maybe it's just my bad luck!! My previous car was a Proton Wira and even after 60,000km it did not give me any problems.
The people at Nissan Service at Jln Ipoh, KL provides excellent service and they seem sorry for me that this car is giving me quite a lot of problems.
General comments?
It's a good car to own if it does not give this much problems.
Luckily it's under warranty. Suggestion is to quickly sell off this car once the warranty is over or else I will need to pay thru my nose for the repairs!
