Sentra 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 45,500 miles
Ref: Nissan Sentra gxe year 2000, VIN# [xxx]. since purchase of this used car in August 2003, over a period of 8 months I have had many problems with "check engine light" coming on often and rattling of axle/suspension on left side. After bringing to dealer for repair under warranty and each time the problem comes up next day or 2 weeks later. I have had the special-order from Japan ECM module replaced 3 times after 3 month wait each time. I also have had front wheel axle and/or suspension replaced 3 times in the past year. I have had 2 or more recalls performed on the car in 2004. As of 12/14/04, there is a problem of poor or slow engine performance and raggedness when driving. Refer to NHTSA campaign id # 01V174000 and 03V477000 and 03V455000 for references. I have copies of service records for this car if you would like to receive them. Please advise.
