Bad Sentra 2011 2.0 SR type

I bought a Nissan Sentra On October 31, 2010. As I am driving the vehicle in less than 20 miles p/hr I could hear a jurking sound from the engine compartment. I took it to the dealership, 5 times in less than a week, nobody could detect anything. I had no choice to downgrade a brand new Nissan Sentra 2011 to a 2010 Model. The funny part is that Nissan states in the Owners Manual that same situation. Apparently, its a ABS system doing a "self check". Funny how they sell vehicles that are not fully secure, yet the dealership did not want to cancel the contract. I will never buy a Nissan again.

Happy with car. A relative has a 2008, which sold my wife on this vs Corolla. Roomy. Good MPG. CVT is unusual, but likable when you get use to it.

After our last two Toyota experiences,which were uncharacteristically poor,we decided to try the Nissan brand.So far both our Sentra and our Frontier 4x4 have given good solid ,problem free service.This Sentra is a good handling automobile,that offers great visibility,is quieter than our Corolla,has logical instruments,comfortable seating(at least for us)and decent acceleration.Not quite as economical on fuel,but is ok.Have not had any problems so far,and that what counts.The same can be said of our Frontier,no trouble.Made the switch to Nissan,and so far very pleased overall with the value and performance.During a very hot 2017 summer ,the air conditioning quit.No problem thanks to a great service contract,problem fixed quickly.

Underrated Sentra

Was not looking for this make nor model. Purchased the 2011 Nissan Sentra in 2020 with just over 80,000 miles. $6000. The dealer encouraged me to take this one instead of a different make for a little more. But the stereo convinced me 🤭. Great sound and display. But seriously, awesome handling, roomie and excellent gas mileage. Getting it's 1st tune up now! And! The vehicle seems to fix itself when the engine light appears . (Diagnostics saying unbalanced air & gas mixture). So satisfied with this basic Nissan Sentra.

Unsatisfied X customer

I've purchased 3 new Nissan and this Sentra's Engine blew up at 66,000 miles on it. It was no fault of mine. The part that's attached to the crankshaft, that controls the spark to the engine, failed to work. The head mechanic at the Ken Pollok Nissan dealer in Wilkes-Barre, said to me that he's never seen one go. In fact the dealer gave me a loaner car to diagnose the problem. Which took them 6 WEEKS to do so. They even had some techs there from the Nissan Corp to help. So in the end Nissan would NOT help at all. They said because it was 6,000 miles out of warranty. I even had all oil change records, which was done every 3,000 miles, to prove I wasn't neglectful in the maintenance of the vehicle. I had to spend $2,000 on a used Engine , which also has problems. Plus one week later ,the dealership had the audacity to call me to say, that if I purchased a new vehicle from them they would reimburse $500 of the $2,000 I paid. Unreal and this the way they treat a loyal customer who has purchased 3 NEW vehicle from them? VERY SAD company
