2006 Nissan Sentra Engine Problems

“On 2006 Nissan Sentra se-r spec v, I noticed a drop in power and excessive oil consumption. Upon pulling the header I noticed pieces of the catalyst broken up in the exhaust pipe. The EGR system may have sucked in pieces of debris damaging the cylinder walls.”

“Takata recall, vehicle has been burning through a lot of motor oil and the other day I noticed smoke coming out of the motor and I'm going through about 3 quarts of motor oil in one week I am afraid that the motor may catch on fire.

“I have a 2006 Nissan Sentra s 1.8 l. I had the crankshaft position sensor replaced a month ago due to an issue with the engine losing power.

It's a known issue and part of a recall but Nissan refuses to fix the problem. Only a matter of time before I get in an accident due to this known issue. …”

“I was driving to work on the freeway going about 60mph when all of a sudden my 2006 Nissan Sentra ( se 1.8) gave a small jerk and the rpms reduced drastically. I also began to lose my steering and no matter how hard I pressed the gas pedal the car wouldn't accelerate.

Then later that night as I was sitting with the engine at an idle, the car suddenly died but it did started back up. I decided to take it to my mechanic and it died 2 or 3 times while I was driving it. …”
