What owners wrote

I have had at least 2 previous horns put into my 2005 sentra four door car. This latest one has not been in that long and it does not work. It gives a beep and then it is gone. I need a horn that works in congested new jersey. This is unacceptable. I waste my time going there and I don't think the dealership is doing anything at all to correct this issue.

Reported at 3,000 miles, February 2008 Injury

Endless repairs contuing over headlights, which keep blowing out over and over and over again and where electrical connections all by themselves stop connecting swo that there is intermittent headlights. This happens over and over and over. Headlight bulb hardly work for long. This happens over and over and over again - not just one one day.
