Sentra 4-cyl

  • miles
I'm currently financing a car. My oil runs out too fast. In one month I probably used 1000 miles max and I've already had to get a oil change 3 times. I'm afraid my engine is either going to lock up or blow up and as a young driver I'm very scared of my safety especially when driving on the parkways.

The contact owns a 2009 Nissan Sentra. While driving approximately 50 mph, the contact stated that he applied pressure to the brake pedal and when he attempted to accelerate forward, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact had no prior failures and this failure was the first time it had occurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised the contact that there were no failures and that if the failure occurred again to bring the vehicle in since it was still under warranty.
