CLUNK! CLUNK! POP! POP!
wanda, Smyrna, TN, 08/06/2015
2012 Nissan Sentra 2.0 S 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
Bought a 2012 Nissan Sentra about 6 weeks ago. Owned several vehicles and this is by far the worst of the worst. Never had bought a Nissan but will never buy another. This vehicle pops on right turns and braking & after turning and straightening the wheel and evidently there are several Nissans that has this as an issue. As I understand there are no recalls and Nissan has not addressed … this issue. Will get it checked out with a mechanic on Monday. Hope to get the issue resolved since it is hard to trade with so recent of a purchase.

2012 Nissan Sentra 2.0 S 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
Great car for cheap money. The car feels solid and is very quiet.
The car handles great with a smooth ride. The only downside is gas mileage, I get between 24 and 28 mpg. I got the same mileage with my V6 Honda Accord. I expected better mileage with a 4 cyl. engine.
Rear ended at 70

2012 Nissan Sentra 2.0 S 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
This car has always been good mechanically, I've needed suspension work, coil packs, O2 sensors, and exhaust work, but it has always been cheap to fix and reliable, someone rear ended me when I was stopped for traffic on the expressway, and totaled the car, I walked away with no lasting damage, the car took it like a champ, 10/10
