2000 Nissan Sentra

CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD A SLIGHT IDLE ISSUE..... WHEN U START IT YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS A BIT OR ELSE IT IMMEDIATELY DIES. ALSO SOMETIMES IF YOU COME TO A STOP THE IDLE JUMPS UP AND DOWN..... HASN'T EVER COMPLETELY DIED IN THOSE INCIDENTS. MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE IGNITION COIL FUSE. A BIT OVER A WEEK AGO THE CAR WAS FINE ALL DAY AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WOULDN'T START. IT ENDED UP BEING THE FUSE. WE REPLACED IT AND THE CAR WAS FINE FOR A WHILE. TODAY I GOT IN IT GO TO WORK AND IT WOULDN'T START. ONCE AGAIN IT WAS THE FUSE. WHILE AT WORK MY HUSBAND REPLACED IT AND IT BLEW AS SOON AS HE TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR. WHEN I GOT HOME I TRIED AGAIN..... SAME OUTCOME. I'VE YET TO TALK TO A MECHANIC TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH MY MAKE AND MODEL OF CAR. I'D LIKE TO RESOLVE ASAP BUT I DON'T WANT TO PUT MONEY INTO A CAR THAT MAY HAVE SOME PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER THIS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF I FALL UNDER THE RECALL? *TR

I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR USED ON 6-22-13. THE GAUGES ON MY DASHBOARD STOPPED WORKING INTERMITTENTLY - I WILL BE DRIVING AND THERE IS NO SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, TACHOMETER, GAS GAUGE OR TEMPERATURE GAUGE. THEY ALL STOP WORKING TOGETHER FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME, AND THEN JUST "CLICK" ON AGAIN. THE GAUGES SEEM TO BE STUCK IN PLACE ON THE GAS METER BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD JUST FALL TO THE CORNER (LEFT OR RIGHT DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE IT IS ON WHEN IT STOPS WORKING. THE TACHOMETER SOMETIMES FALLS IN THE CORNER AN OTHER TIMES IT JUST FREEZES WHEN IT STOPS WORKING. THE TEMPERATURE GAUGES DOES THE SAME AS THE TACHOMETER. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT MAKES IT STOP OR COMES BACK ON. THE ODOMETER DISAPPEARS WHEN IT GOES OUT AND REAPPEARS WHEN IT COMES BACK ON BUT DOES SEEM TO MAINTAIN THE MILEAGE WHEN SHOWING OR NOT. LET ME KNOW IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR OR NISSAN RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE LOCAL DEALER SAID THEY DO NOT MAKE THE PART ANYMORE TO FIX THE POSSIBLE ISSUES. *TR

MY 2000 NISSAN SENTRA COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET. FIRST THE RADIO CUT OUT AND THE "AIR BAG" LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE A BIT, I NOTICED A BURNT PLASTIC SMELL AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER TO A SIDE STREET AND THAT'S WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER--HEADLIGHTS, DASHBOARD, ENGINE, NOT EVEN THE HAZARDS WORKED. I GENTLY TRIED TO ACCELERATE FORWARD AND THE CAR WENT INTO REVERSE INSTEAD, SO I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND CALLED TRIPLE A. THEY TOWED MY CAR TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC, WHO WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME, AND THE NEXT MORNING HE WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR RIGHT UP AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE ANY PROBLEM SO FAR. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS STALLED. IN 2007, I HAD THE CAR STALL ON ME A NUMBER OF TIMES (ONCE ON THE FREEWAY) BEFORE MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR. IN 2009, THE CAR STARTED IDLING ROUGHLY BEFORE STALLING AND THAT PROBLEM WAS TRACED TO A FAULTY EGR CONTROL VALVE CIRCUIT. *TR
