There is a recall on 2002, 2005-2006 nissan sentras & altimas with the sensor. The car can shut down without warning and engine stall. My car is a 1999 nissan sentra with the same problem and they won't fix it because of the wrong year. Regardless of the year it should be fixed or i should receive some kind of compensation. Luckily when i was driving and my car shut down i wasn't hit from the back. I am looking to file a law suit over this matter because i spent my money on this car buying it brand new and this organization just shoved me off like my problem doesn't matter. I use my car and now i am without a car and catching the bus. It's not fair! It's their car!*cn

The fuel filler tank/hose on my father's 1999 nissan sentra must be replaced. However, the part is not available form nissan; it is no longer made and there is no 'after market" item. He tried a 2000 part; it could not be made to fit. We have contacted nissan directly, have talked to dealers, etc. Without this needed repair, the car is basically of no value. It cannot be sold, because it would not pass inspection. Complete frustration. The car itself is great, less than 60,000 miles, no rust, excellent m[g, etc. But what can we do now/ who to complain to/ nissans response seems to be "tough luck" and there is no recourse. *jb

Braking system failed to fully function. When i pressed the brake pedal to slow down, the vehicle slowed. However, as i pressed the brake pedal harder to come to a full stop, the vehicle did not respond. A two vehicle car crash resulted, and the sentra is a total loss. The air bags did not deploy. The brakes were last serviced on 10-23-06. I do not trust the dealership, since i have had previous problems. I had the same supspension problems with the vehicle - tires wearing prematurely on the inside. In one instance, nissan of hickory told me there were no problems with my vehicle. After two hours, the service manager walked me into the garage, where he tried to prove the problem was my tires. I pointed to a leaking shock on my vehicle, and he was suprised and upset that i noticed it. He then told me they did not take the tires off my vehicle in the two hours i was waiting. I have no confidence in nissan of hickory to examine my vehicle because of that incident. *nm

The plastic headlights on my 1999 nissan are opaque. The light output is diminished at least 40%. The dealer wants $200 for replacement of plastic headlights. I then noticed that many cars that are over 5 years old have the same problem, diminished lighting due to poor plastic headlights. I hope you can get nissan and all other makes involved to replace the plastic headlights for free. *jb
