I bought my 2003 sentra brand new. What I am paying for is the biggest
piece of crap you could have. I have replaced the tranmission twice and it was slipping again. I had the heater cable replaced 3 times. I plugged my computer wire into the lighter plug and it burned up my wire the computer, and the lighter plug. I was told that it wasn't covered under my bumper to bumper warrenty! I looked all over my bumper but never found the lighter outside of it. So needless to say they replaced the lighter. This summer just after my warrenty ran out the
head gasket blew. After spending another thousand on that, we were going to trade it in on a reliable car when the night before a piece of the car blew off flew into my timing chain and into my
cam shaft blowing my engine. Imagine how I felt when I looked for recalls on my 2003 Sentra only to find every thing that has gone wrong with my car to be on the recall list. NEVER once I did I receive a recall on any of the items. I have case number and was told that They had 30 days to contact me. That was on Novemeber 20,2007. Now no one calls me. I am paying for car sitting collecting
storage fees, Blown engine and all. I was told at Domnion Nissan in Colonial Heights Va that the only reason they replaced my tranmission the first time was because "I was a ***!" They told me that the only thing wrong with my car was that I needed to change the
power steering fluid. I know that when the RPMs jump the way mine did it was the transmission,and that it slipped between second and third each time I drove it. I even took it to a tranmission shop, that documented that the tranmission was shot.That is when I had to take it to Pence Nissan in Richmond where they called me and said they didn't even get it off the lot and could tell the tranmission was shot. Now that I am talking to the East coast rep. He,Rich,tells me nothing can be done. So I ask is a Nissan made to be a 100,000 mile throw away car. He seems to think not. This car has been nothing but one problem after another since I drove it off the lot with 3 miles on it. I have begged for help. I guess my next step is to go to a LEMON Law lawyer. It is my understanding that my car sure fits the bill for those laws. Especially since no one even notifed me of any of the recalls.

Mr. Smith is right, u don't have a lemon law case. Sorry to hear about ur problems. I am an advisor for Nissan. First of all, your cigarette lighter outlet is made only for cigarette lighters! UNDERSTAND? if you have an auxillary power outlet you need to make sure whatever you are plugging in does not exceed the amperage rating. As for your transmission, there are no recalls for a 2003 sentra, only TSIB's (technical service bulletins) and these are additions to repair manuals for the techs to address repair problems. You would not be notified for TSIB's. I suspect you probably never serviced your transmission fluid until you started having problems. Fluid is to be changed before the transmission is damaged , not after. You need to learn the difference between "maintenance and repair".

you need to read a lemon law book, your vehilce doesnt qualify. a lemon law repair is the same defect unrepaired 3 times within 3yrs 36,000 miles and the manu gets a 4th and final repair attempt. you have a 5year old car with looks like a 100,000 miles on it and did you do you have proof of maintenance, coolant flush trans flush. get another car, move on.
