 I bought this car brand new from the dealership.  So far I have had 5 recalls and numerous other problems.  I, like many of you, have heard that "chirping noise" that the belts make.  I was told that it is normal. Ok, so I have an annoyingly noisey car.  I can deal with that.  What I could not "deal" with was that the catalyic converter and the PCM (the car's computer) both went out.  Just to let you all know, they ARE covered by the Federal Emmisions Warranty of 8yr/80,000 mile.  However, the dealership (not the one I bought it at) had me spend over $800 in unnecessary repairs.Long story made short, I traded in my unreliable deathtrap of a Sentra for a reliable safe Civic.
