Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Oil dip stick broke on 2002 nissan sentra. with only about 60,000 miles on the nissan sentra, the plastic oil dip stick broke off inside the tube. the vehicle was taken to a nissan dealer for repairs at a an out outrageous cost of $380.63. checking the internet, i found numerous complaints for the same problem. it surely appears to be a design flaw with the dip stick and nissan should initiate a recall to replace existing oil sticks made of plastic. additional, nissan should reimburse the owners who have already paid for this repair. *tr
