When purchasing my used vehicle from el monte toyota, notice sensor for tire on, was told be fixed, months later learn rim missing sensor. Light in car also don't work. Driving car immediately was stalling out shutting off when idol. Took car back week later since within 30 day warranty spoke to customer service on recorded call and she didn't thoroughly document conversation. Upon waiting four hours next week, tech drove the car never do a diagnostic. After warranty expired car regularly shut off triggering transmission codes. Out of pocket I paid for transmission flush twice, throttle body replacement, brakes, learning there was transmission recall 2010. Falling behind in payments due.to excessive repair expenses took car to fix at nissan to get a list more of defects I couldn't afford. I filed a claim with toyota and was denied by the manager. Had they ran the diagnostic when I brought it in all be avoided. However was advised dealership's are aware of recalls and sold me the car anyway? And refused to fix when I returned and dismissed a claim die to their negligence. Never buy a car from that dealership and will let anyone looking know of my costly experience. Expect that from a car lot not a reputation like toyota.

I pulled out of my driveway in june 2014 and the car stalled at about 15 miles per hour while I was driving and the engine light came on. I drive a nissan sentra 2008 that I brought in november 2011 with 32,000 miles on it. I took the car to a nissan dealership and they stated that it was the camshaft sensor that needed to be replaced and it would cost $500. I had already replace the air sensor in 2013 for $400 at the same dealership when the car had 52,000 miles because the engine light was coming on. I contacted nissan customer service to explore why at 72,000 miles the car needs the camshaft sensor replace and was this a common occurrence. They did not help; had limited answers and stated that they will contact the dealership in 3 to 5 business days regarding financial assistance and explanation. I decided to get the camshaft sensor replaced somewhere else. However, today the car stalled again and now the engine light is on again. I am returning the car to the mechanic that replaced the camshaft sensor. However, I belief there are more electrical/engine problems with the nissan sentra 2008 besides the camshaft sensor that the company is not being forthcoming about and this can put my life and others on the road in danger. Please investigate nissan because they already did a recall on the nissan altima from 2006 to 2012 for the same part. Thank you.

At 700 miles, car wouldn't start. Had towed to dealership-car started-couldn't find a problem. At 1700 miles, car wouldn't start-had towed--couldn't find any problem. 9/15/08 (2480 miles) car stalled in traffic, wouldn't start. Police pushed me to a safe area--had car towed to dealership-no response yet. I feel very unsafe, not knowing when I'm going to be randomly left on some street corner waiting for a tow truck. Am planning a trip out of state--do I dare? I don't think so.
