| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 NISSAN SENTRA WHEN IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGHLY THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY IT RAN FINE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF. SOMEONE TOLD ME TO HAVE THE SPARK PLUGS REPLACED SO I DID THAT. THE CAR WAS FINE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. THEN THE SAME THING STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT WAS WORSE IT WAS RUNNING ROUGHER AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE TAILPIPE AND IT WAS LOUD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY HAD IT FOR 2 HOURS AND TOLD ME THAT MY HEAD GASKET HAD FAILED AND THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THAT HAD HAPPENED. IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE REMAINING POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. AFTER THAT I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE. THE REASON THAT I AM MAKING THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AUGUST 2010 AND THE TOTAL COST TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET IN MY VEHICLE IS ALMOST 2000.00 DOLLARS. I THINK NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND REPLACE WHAT EVER PARTS REQUIRED TO MAKE SURE THIS PROBLEM NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR |
