What owners wrote
I drove the 2007 nissan sentra for about 7 months with almost no issues except the "check engine light was on." I took it to the deal for the scheduled maintenances and had regular oil changes, and used premium gas. While driving on the highway going about 60MPH, the car stalled and caught on fire. I was not able to pull over. It was a very traumatic experience. Recently I have received a recall notice concerning the brake fluid leak.
I have a 2007 nissan sentra with 53,000 miles. Started making loud rattling noises when turning to right and when cold to start. Started to get very scary and took into mechanic, since nissan charges $120 just to diagnose, even if under warranty. Mechanic said it was the right motor mount and was extremely unusual to see with such low mileage. I spoke with a friend that worked at nissan dealership and he said it always happens, and should be a recall. I spoke to corporate, and they refuse to help at all.
