Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The oil level gauge (dipstick) of 2002 nissan sentra is very easy to break. my dipstick's a rubber/plastic handle was broken during oil change, and the blade was stuck in the tube and very difficult to get it out. a dealership asked $100 to just pull the broken blade out. i believe this is a direct result of poor design, and i have also seen numerous similar failures on nissan sentra. the manufacturer needs to recall this part immediately. *jb
