Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 1) car began to run rough/surging/stalling for no apparent reason. 2) something has entered the engine causing marks on piston top/cylinder bores and damaging the spark plug. 3) brought car to dealer and was told spark plugs and air filter were to blame. i changed spark plugs and air filter. this allowed car to run better but still runs rough/surges/won't idle properly. brought car to local garage and they inspected cylinder bores and found damage to piston and a 2nd piston/spark plug. they informed me that there is a recall for sentra's but that my car was not included. this recall covers screws falling into motor. called the dealer and was told the car needs to be reset because of the air filter was not an original replacement brand filter. when told about damages in motor there was no reply. when asked if there is a recall for my vehicle i was told there wasn't one. called nissan and was told about a recall and that my car is covered but after further review they changed their mind and said that my car was not covered. my car is the same make/model/engine size as the recalled vehicles. i'm trying to get my car included in the recall. *nm
