TAKATA RECALL WHEN I FIRST STEP IN THE CAR TO TAKE A TEST DROVE, IT SEEM LIKE IT WAS OK . IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM BUT WHEN I DROVE IT HOME , ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR STARTED TO SHAKE AND IT TOOK ABOUT 60 SECOND FOR THE GEAR TO SWITCH. THE CAR SEEN AS THOUGHT IT WAS OVERHEATING WHEN I HAVEN'T EVEN DROVE IT LONG . I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID “ I WAS COVERED WITH WARRANTY “ AND THAT “I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PAYING ANYTHING.” HE GAVE ME A LOAN CAR AND HAVE BEEN EXTENDED IT FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS BECAUSE MY CAR STILL HAVEN'T BEEN FIX YET . I ALSO FOUND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BY THE WARRANT BUSINESS BECAUSE THEY SAID THE CAR WASN'T IN GOOD CONDITION WHEN I BROUGHT IT. THEY DENIED THE REQUEST OF FIXING THE TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER REFUSES TO GIVE ME ANOTHER TEMP TAG AND TOLD ME TO LEAVE HIM PREMISES. I HAVE BEEN PAYING ON A CAR THAT I HAVE NOT HAD FOR TWO MONTHS AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN UNJUST SITUATION. I HOPE THAT THE OTHER CUSTOMERS AREN’T GETTING TREATED LIKE MYSELF .

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE ON DASHBOARD STARTED TO ACTING OUT; I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS LEAKING GAS, BUT I COULD NOT SMELL IT. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS ELECTRIC. I CALLED NISSAN OF HUNTINGTON TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AND MAKING AN APPOINTMENT, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE (3:45PM), SO I HAD TO BRING MY CAR TO CENTERPORT AUTOMOTIVE. THEY SCANNED MY CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM AND: "CODE PO 463 FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT MALFUNCTION CODE". AS A RESULT, THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND SENDING UNIT ASSEMBLY IN FUEL TANK. MY CAR WAS 35472 MILES AT THE TIME THIS WORK WAS DONE. HAD TO PAY 681.37 DOLLARS + NYS SALE TAXES. I WOULD LOVE TO BE REIMBURSED SINCE A FUEL PUMP LASTS MORE THAN 125,000 MILES. THOUSANDS OF 2013 NISSAN SENTRA CARS HAVE A FUEL SYSTEM RECALL, BUT NOT THIS PARTICULAR VIN NUMBER.

SHIFTING FREQUENTLY LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING CAUSING DISTRACTION AND INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR IN THREATENING SITUATIONS. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS UNABLE TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE TO PASS A SEMI-TRUCK WHILE FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION DANGEROUSLY AVERTS MY ATTENTION FROM SAFE DRIVING.

MY CAR STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW DOWN OR STOP.IT START THE END OF 2016 BUT IT WAS ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN OXFORD MS IN 2017 AND HAD IT TESTED AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. IT IS MUCH WORSE NOW. IT USE TO BE A COUPLE TIMES A MONTH AT FIRST NOW IT HAPPENS ON AT LEAST HALF OF THE ACCELERATIONS FROM BEING STOPPED OR SLOWED ESPECIALLY IF YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER CARS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE HAVE ISSUED A BULLETIN FOR IT TO BE TESTED AND REPAIRED AT MY COST. THIS SHOULD BE NISSAN'S EXPENSE PLUS ANY DAMAGE IT HAS COST WITH ME DRIVING IT THIS WAY FOR 50,00 MILES AFTER THEY SAID IT WAS ANYTHING TO BE FIXED. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THIS STARTED AT 52,000 MILES NOW IT HAS 99,000 MILES IT WAS TESTED AT 56,000 MILES.

IM CURRENTLY THE SECOND OWNER ON WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A GOOD VEHICLE. I HAD NO CLUE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAD THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING. IT STARTED TWO WEEKS AFTER I HAD PUTCHASED MY VEHICLE. I WOULD ACCELERATE LIKE NORMAL AND TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL TO COAST TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT L, THE LIGHT CHANGES AND TURNED GREEN. I WOULD REAPPLY MY FOOT TO THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CVT WOULD THUD SO I TOOK IT TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD "IT WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF A CVT" NOT KNOWING ANY BETTER AS IT WAS MY FIRST CVT TRANSMISSION I KEPT DRIVING. NOW IM TOLD MY A CVT SPECIALIST THAT THAT THUD I WAS FEELING IS THE BEGINING OF MY TRANSMISSION BRAKING AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CANNOT SEE HOW NISSAN EXPECTS SOMEONE TO PAY FOR A PRODUCT THAT SO MANY OF ITS VEHICLES HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLANING OF THE SAME ISSUES. IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT STARTS OVER REVVING WHEN CHANGING SPEEDS ON LOCAL ROADS. I ALSO HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY NOT GO OVER 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY (POSSIBLY THE VEHICLE IS GOING INTO SOME KIND OF FAIL SAFE MODE) AND WOULD REV HEAVILY. I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN AND THEY ADVISED IT SOUNDS LIKE A CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, WHICH IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF THE NISSAN VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT CREATED A RECALL FOR THE 2013 NISSAN SENTRA AND ADVISED THEY DO NOT PLAN TO DO SO. *DT *JS*JB

WE BOUGHT OUR 2013 NISSAN SENTRA IN 2015 FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE PRICE TAG WAS SOMEWHERE AROUND 20-22 GRAND. I WAS EXPECTING THAT WE WOULD BE KEEPING THIS CAR FOR 10+ YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, NISSAN FAILED TO TELL US ABOUT THE CARS FAILING TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY SOLD US THE CAR. WHILE DRIVING ON A DAILY BASIS, THE CAR WOULD ODDLY PULL. BUT WHEN TEST DRIVING THE CAR WE WERE ASSURED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL AND CAUSED BY THE CVT TRANSMISSION. 3 1/2 YEARS LATER WHILE I WAS RUNNING A NORMAL ERRAND IN TOWN, THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I TRIED PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ROAD AND HAD TO SWERVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS AND IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE AGAIN, BUT I SLOWLY DROVE ON BACKROADS TO GET THE CAR TO THE NISSAN IN OUR TOWN. ONCE THERE, THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG AND GUESS WHAT? THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. NOW TELL ME, WHY DOES A 5 1/2 YEAR OLD CAR ALREADY HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURE?? WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 1/2 YEARS!! AND OUR WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 100,000 MILES. WE ARE AT 113,000. I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.I THINK THESE CARS ARE NOT RELIABLE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! THIS CAR LOOKS PERFECT AND IS NOW WORTHLESS.

WHICH HAS ME CONCERNED AS THIS IS BECOMING A BIG SAFETY ISSUE NOW THRU OUT THE YEARS ITS GOTTEN PROGGRESIVLY WORSE WITHOUT ANY DEALERSHIP BEING ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE CAUSE THE CAR SHOWS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED 1 TIME ALREADY FOR IT CRACKING WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. IT WOULD ACCELERATE RANDOMLY AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS. I'M NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT ON AN EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND WHEN I GOT OFF THE MAIN ROAD IT ACCELERATED WITHOUT ME EVEN TOUCHING THE GAS PEDDLE.

STARTING AROUND 75,000 MILES, MY NISSAN SENTRA STARTED STUTTERING, STALLING, AND LOSING POWER BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA'S TRANSMISSION FAILED ON 4/11/2019 AT 83,975 MILES (1 YEAR AND 23K MILES OVER THE WARRANTY). OVER THE PAST YEAR, THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN A PUBLIC AND PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, OR ON HIGHWAYS IN FEAR OF WHAT HAPPENED ON 4/11 WOULD HAPPEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE FACT THAT SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT AND EXPENSIVE WOULD FAIL ON A CAR SO FAST PROVES THAT THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED.

CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED AT 90K MILES. GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS EXORBITANT NUMBER OF NISSANS WITH CVT TRANNYS HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. NISSAN CONTINUES TO USE CVT'S. WHY???? CAR REVS HIGH WHEN STARTED - THE LENGTH OF TIME STEADILY INCREASES. RPM'S SHOW RAPID AND SIGNIFICANT FLUCTUATION. FEARFUL TO DRIVE IT MORE THAN THE FEW MILES IT MUST BE DRIVEN BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND TO RUN ERRANDS.
