1991 Nissan Sentra problems
The Nissan Sentra is a series of automobiles manufactured by the Japanese automaker Nissan since 1982. Since 1999, the Sentra has been categorized as a compact car, while previously it occupied the subcompact class. Until 2006, Sentra was a rebadged export version of the Japanese Nissan Sunny, but since the 2013 model year, Sentra is a rebadged export version of the Sylphy. The Sentra nameplate is not used in Japan. Many other countries in Latin America sell their versions of the Sunny as the Sentra. In Mexico, the first three generations of the Sentra were known as the Nissan Tsuru (Japanese for crane), and the B13 model was sold under that name until 2017, alongside the updated models badged as Sentra.
In North America, the Sentra currently serves as Nissan's compact car, despite being rated as a mid-size car by the EPA due to its interior volume since the 2007 model year. While previous Sentras were subcompacts, the Sentra has grown over the years, with the Nissan Versa having replaced the Sentra in the entry-level area.
The Sentra name was created for Nissan by Ira Bachrach of NameLab, and Bachrach describes the origin as "Nissan wanted consumers to understand that it was quite safe even though it was small. The word Sentra sounds like central as well as sentry, which evokes images of safety."

This car is an excellent choice for any young driver's first car! It can handle all the little bumps that first-time drivers may encounter.
-
Great! I absolutely love this car. It's amazing. I wish I had another one just like it.
-
I can tell you really loved your 1992 model! It sounds like it was an incredible little car that served you well for 10 years. The SR20 engine is definitely one of Nissan's best. It's no surprise that it won CarAndDriver's 10Best award. It's great to hear that it performed so well in amateur motorsports, from autocross to track. It truly was an excellent car!
-
This car has been great! Although, I've had a few minor problems with it such as the antilock brake light coming on and staying on due to an ABS speed sensor circuit, the gas gauge not reading accurately, the trunk leaking, and the power windows sticking. But, other than that, it has been a great car! It just keeps going and going and going.

Bought new in 1990, this car has been an absolute joy to drive. It has never let me down and still outruns anything its size while getting an impressive 32 MPG. I'm currently considering a Murano, but Nissans will always hold a special place in my heart.

The transmission may stick in third gear when you accelerate quickly, which can be inconvenient for those who like to drive fast. Additionally, the clearcoat on the car is peeling away due to a lack of UV protection, which can make the car look less than ideal.
Dillan Blick 2024-05-16
When I first bought the car, I was excited about the prospect of saving money on gas and getting a good deal. However, I soon discovered that the car had several issues. I had to fix the starter twice, replace the leaking radiator, and buy a new thermostat when the car overheated. I also had to replace the rear shocks and the 5-speed transmission. Unfortunately, my car is still leaking oil and I am experiencing problems with the new, used transmission that I recently installed. To make matters worse, it keeps popping out of fifth gear.
Jaime Greenholt 2024-05-16
I love this little car! It may be underpowered and old, but it still goes.
Hershel Langworth 2024-05-14
Excellent little car!! It's amazing that the fuel pump lasted for 24 years, especially since it was the original Japan pump! The brakes and tires were replaced, but overall it's still a great car. With 325000 klicks on it, it runs like new and gets an impressive 35+ miles to the gallon! When it finally dies, I will definitely look for another Nissan. Well done, Nissan!
