I got this 2004 Nissan Sentra se and I’ve had nothing but problems first week I broke down about 12 times and figured out it was the radiator fan so I replaced that then the motor went bad replaced that then the wire went bad to the radiator since then I’ve replaced mass air flow sensor, coil packs, spark plugs, camshaft positioning sensor, throttle body and it still won’t run for a long time. I’ll go down the road and out of no where the rpms will sky rocket and then the car will die

Nissan should have recalled the 2004 Models. I went thru to cats because of a design flaw that created back pressure that cause early and my first ever engine wear. I had to add oil to the engine every 500 miles, 2quarts untill it went out. I didnt want a new car so I had a altima engine put into it. We left the Cat out after the 3rd time it needed to be replaced before the engine swap. Ive been spray painting the rusted cheap crap metal of the car ever since I bought it 4 years ago. Salt Lake Nissan ripped me off on that car. Its been nothing but repairs on that car. Way over priced. Terrible fuel economy. Great road handling, great tranny. Stereo is ok. If your willing to sink 10k in repairs in 4 years. Buy it. I will never own another nissan. Never. Not even a free 1.
