terrible car - 2004 Nissan Sentra
By sean - April 20 - 5:43 amDO NOT BUY NISSAN. This car has been a nightmare for me. I have had countless problems with the car. Manifold had to be replaced twice, O2 sensors replaced numerous times, fuel injector is faulty, spark plugs need constant attention, car shakes uncontrollably, nissan refuses to pay for any of this even though it is supposed to be covered under a parts warranty. car is around 94000 miles now and Im surprised its lasted even this long. Maximum speed on the highway is around 40 mph.

Choose another car! - 2004 Nissan Sentra
By Disappointed! - September 22 - 10:00 amCar is very noisy. Engine tapping, loud road noise, strange sounds coming form front suspension. When I brought the car back to the dealer I was told the noises were normal or did not exist.

By wyant - July 24 - 5:12 pmIve only had my 2004 nissan sentra since February. Ive had nothing but problems with it. Ive already had to have a new cat converter put on. Light is on again for a gas cap code, and then last night i hit the on button for cruise....and my horn honked. It honks now whether i turn my cruise on or off. And then a couple times it didnt do it!!! Anyone else having the same problems? Especially the horn honking!!

I am sorry that I bought this car - 2004 Nissan Sentra
By CFF - January 26 - 7:13 amI bought this car new because it had been recommended to me as a reliable car. Well, those who told me that were wrong. I hate this car. It has had problems from the moment I bought it. The catalytic converter has been replaced 5 times! They have replaced the belts over and over because there is a squeaking sound that cant be figured out. Yesterday it completely died and a costly repair is needed. I wish I could throw this car away!! There is no room in the backseat or the trunk. I can barely fit a car seat in it. I did not like getting stranded on the side of the road with my 7 month old on a 100 degree day. I will never buy a Nissan again.

the worst car ever - 2004 Nissan Sentra
By MOE - October 30 - 6:50 pmI bought this car two years ago. It had 63 k on it. I replaced head gasket after 1500k, I changed whole brake system, engine light has been always on! I changed oxygen sensor, crankshaft sensor. Steering wheel is making noise. Gas mileage is ok but you have to put premium gas! And the latest one I cannot pass emission test. Fantastic car! Nissan is my first and last car

Rattle Trap - 2004 Nissan Sentra
By Bad Jeff - October 9 - 10:00 amPassenger air bag vibrates sounds like blown speaker, been replaced w/new insulators, still no change maybe even worse. Wind noise from door is terrible. Long trip are not even an option take the truck, better ride and only sacriface about 8 to 10 mile to the gallon. Remember were talking v-8 compared to 4-cyl HMMM. Would take the 80 Honda Civic that I traded for it back anyday 40 mpg, and better/funner to drive!!! By the way only getting about 27 mpg on hwy!

Horrible Purchase - 2004 Nissan Sentra
By Horrible Car - July 12 - 3:50 pmWithin the first year I owned this car, the drive belt had to be replaced and was on back order which tells me this is a common problem with this vehicle, I had to have the cd player replaced because it wouldnt eject my cd, and I have had problems with it starting. The dealership told me it had a "10 second start". That does explain why it tries to start and dies. I will never buy a Nissan again. I encourage all others to take my experience into consideration.

disappointed - 2004 Nissan Sentra
By Lina R. - April 10 - 10:00 amIm disappointed with the dealership Bill Seidles in Miami. First they sold me a Nissan with 8000 miles and the glove compartment fell off. This happened as I was driving home from the dealership.When I asked to return the vehicle they said they could only exchange it for a new one.
