Upper radiator hose leaks at either connection.tried installing new radiator hose and brand new, high quality hose clamps, but problem persisted. Coolant then drips down directly into the alternator shorting the alternator out.solution: make a cover for alternator out of sheet metal, and bolt it to the exhaust manifold cover.if water drips from the above radiator hose, the cover will protect the alternator by directing the runoff elsewhere.*la

Vehicle fails to start on occasions.
Possible engine failure, caused engine light to come on.
My neighbor told me my brake lights had been out for awhile -- when the headlights were on and i hit the brake pedal, the brake light/rear tail light would go out completely, leaving only the center light bar on the trunk on to serve as a brake light. I'd been driving with my lights on during the day, thinking it would be safer since i have a toddler in the car with me. The dealership fixed the problem ($285) and told me, although they didn't write it on the invoice, that it looked like "somebody" had wired the brake lights wrong in a section between the trunk side and the frame and they were getting hot. I have never had any other work done on the lights and said so, but got no response. I had taken the car to autozone the day before, to see if the bulbs were the problem. The manager there came out to look at the bulbs and showed me where the driver-side brake light socket had started to melt. So it was a fire hazard as well.
Water is entering the trunk and is routed along the electrical wiring, this is due to the rear light module is sealed into place with a product that is not fit for the purpose intended.vehicle was involved in an accident with a semi truck and the airbags failed to deploy.consumer states that the generic brake pads are not compatible with the original parts as excessive squealing takes place.

(2) as it was no raining hard, i was still able to drive vehicle safely home. I found there is a recall for the windshield wiper/washer:linkages for 1997 nissan sentra. (3) contacted nissan about the problem because i have never receive a recall notice but i am told the recall doesn't applied to my vin number. I took the vehicle to a nissan dealership repair shop.

This complaint is regard to the voluntary recall on the '97 nissan sentra's wiper seal.when i contacted the dealer and then the 1-800 nissan customer service line i was told that the recall didn't apply to my vehicle despite the fact that it falls within the range of numbers given on nissan's own website (clipped from web page - [xxx]to [xxx] (sentra) with a vin#[xxx].i purchased this as a used vehicle and so it is not unreasonable to expect that the wipers could have failed through normal wear and tear.however, i would like a better explanation as to why the recall doesn't apply when by all indications on nissan's own web site it appears to apply.
