This car has been nothing but a diaster for us since we drove it off the lot on March 18, 1996. Within the first six months of owning the car the water pump blew up while we were driving it, then the car kept locking up while driving it about four times and all times we kept bringing it back to the Nissan dealer. We asked to give the car back cause it was a lemon to us but they did not accept and we have had major problems with this car ever since. This car is a piece of junk, it is in good condition by looking at it you would think it was new. To many mechanical problems. I will never in my life by another Nissan. We still own it and would like to get rid of it. We had to refinace it cause the payments for it was toooo high. I wish we could be reimbursed. Everyone we know even knows the trouble we have had with this car. I tried calling the original place where we bought it to tell them all the problems and no one never called me back. It has been hectic with this car. It has been sitting inour driveway for the past seven months. Is there anyway you can help us"?" the engine went out one day when my husband went out to go to work one day. We have had to replace the waterpump three times, the ac compressor went out too early and had to get disconnected cause it cost too much to get fixed. This car is a heart ache and we can't afford to get anymore work done to it. Now it needs shocks. It is one thing after another. I can get proof from friends and family stating that we have spent most of our time getting this car fixed than driving it. We have had to get loans to get it fixed and can't afford it no more.
