- Safer Car.Gov USA Website For Filing Complaints - one searched found 88 complaints. i read somewhere nissan was saying not enough complaints on this issue were known so we need to file our complaints in one place and get nissan to issue a recall. my mechanic said it was an odd new design for this gasket. the bolts were tensioned or stretched when turned so that they were stressed and obviously going to fail after use.

Nissan needs to address the problem with head gaskets on 2005 Nissan Sentra 1.8 L engines. At 75000 miles I replaced spark plugs, driving belts, new battery because the car was shaking, I thought that a tune up was needed. After a few days the car start running rough. I did a research on line and find a lot of forums talking about the same problems on 2005 Nissan Sentra, describing HEAD GASKET FAILURES .This is a manufacturer's defect. The same problem is occurring over and over in these engines at around the same mileage. Nissan should have a recall and help consumer. Average bill to fix this problem run from $ 1100.00 to $ 1500.00 depending on what service shop you take your car.
