Sentra 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 83,000 miles
My car lost power, I had to drive maybe (6) six miles to the dealer.went I got there I got out and noticed that there was smoke coming form trunk.I open trunk and saw that the carpet was smoking and had melted.there was a burnt spot where the carpet was.my point is that I had three quarter tank of gas in my car.I could have been blown-up in that car if I had to go much farther.it really burnt that carpet good.the cause of the problem was that it was the exhaust manifold and the converter, which comes together and cost $901.87 to repair.I bought this car only a week prior to the incident, from the Nissan dealership on hwy 70 East no dought.
