The steering wheel made noise. On one occasion the vehicle began to vibrate and shake while making a turn which resulted in the vehicle hitting a curb. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer on several occasion but they have not been able to locate or correct the problem.

Multiple issues with 2001 Sentra. Steering has become progressively tighter. Dealer claims no problem. Crunching noise from shocks/struts when driving over speed bumps or when exiting driveway onto road (uneven pavement). Worse when cold. Dealer claims no problem. Brakes make scraping noise when applied. Worse when cold. Car has become very uncomfortable to drive - tight/difficult steering and noisy suspension. Drives like a 10 year old Chevy instead of a 2 year old Japanese car. I should have kept my Honda!!!
