NHTSA complaint: 2002 NISSAN SENTRA — ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
2002 NISSAN SENTRA GXE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING AFTER BRAKING AT HIGH SPEEDS EXITING OFF HIGHWAY (60-70 MPH). THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT WOULD DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD. THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED AT 2 WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW WITH ONLY 600 MILES ON IT! THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER 3 TIMES. THE 3RD TIME RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP HAS SERVICED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM. THE NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND NISSAN ARBITRATION HAS TESTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS MODEL SEEMS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS IN 2000 AND 2001. IS IT NOT OBVIOUS THAT NISSAN HAS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. *LA
