POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
"CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES" 2012 NISSAN SENTRA SR 2.0L WITH 103,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND MAINTAINED ADEQUATELY SINCE GETTING THE VEHICLE IN 2013. FOR THE LAST SIX MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MY VEHICLE LOSS OF ACCELERATION ON ONLY BEING ABLE TO GO 10 MPH MAX WHEN MY VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE. THIS HAPPENS TO ME ON THE INTERSTATE 64 WESTBOUND FROM RICHMOND, VA TO HARRISBURG, VA GOING UPHILL WHERE I WAS GOING 70 - 75 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE LOSS ACCELERATION AND MY SPEED DROPPED DRAMATICALLY ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK. THIS IS DUE TO BEING IN THE LEFT LANE AND HAVING NOWHERE I COULD PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE READILY AVAILABLE. TO ME, THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN AS THIS IS HAPPENING NOW AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR 30 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MIDAS WHERE I HAD THEM RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE CAR TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY CODES ON THE CAR SINCE THERE IS "NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON." THE TECHNICIAN DROVE THE CAR FOR 30 MINUTES AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE, AND HE HAD TO WAIT AN HOUR BEFORE THE CAR WOULD ACCELERATE AGAIN. THE TECHNICIAN CAME BACK WITH THE FOLLOWING: 'TECH FOUND THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS HAVING INTERNAL PROBLEMS-VEHICLE US NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. TECH FOUND CODE P1722 EST VEHICLE SPEED SIGNAL, P0744 AT TR SW FUNCTION, P1778 STEP MOTOR. ALSO, VEHICLE NEEDS FRONT STRUTS AND REAR SHOCKS - NO CONTROL OF STEERING WHEEL. IT APPEARS NISSAN HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION FROM THEIR 2007 - 2010 SENTRA AND ISSUED AN EXTENDED TEN YEAR - 120,000 MILES WARRANTY. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO EVERY YEAR THAT NISSAN HAS USED THE CVT TRANSMISSION AS THEY ARE UNRELIABLE AND EVENTUALLY WILL CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAYS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION GOING INTO LIMP MODE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER FOR ALL NISSAN SENTRA 2011, 2012, ETC. THIS IS A PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKES HAVE UNUSUALLY LONG PEDAL TRAVEL COMING TO A FULL STOP. AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP, ADDITIONAL PRESSURE IS REQUIRED TO KEEP THE CAR FROM DRIFTING FORWARD. INCIDENT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY. WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED, WITH A REBUILT TITLE. I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AT A GARAGE, AND HAD THE LINES BLED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO AIR IN THE LINES. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ONGOING AND SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATION PROBLEMS; MOST NOTABLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION TO 40-45 MPH. THE RPMS WILL REV BETWEEN 5-6 (BUT STILL STRUGGLE). ONCE THE CAR HITS AROUND 40MPH THERE ARE LESS PROBLEMS. OCCASIONALLY FEEL THAT THE CAR IS STALLING OUT AT HIGHER SPEEDS (IE ON HIGHWAY). PROBLEMS ARE INTERMITTENT, MOST NOTABLE WHEN CAR IS COLD. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP, BROUGHT IN FOR CHECK. THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANY RELATED 'COMPUTER CODES' - FEEL I AM BEING IGNORED DESPITE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
TAKATA RECALL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STALL IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER. IT SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME BUT AS I DROVE LITTLE BIT MORE IT STARTED TO JERK AND I COULD NOT GO OVER 25. I PULLED OVER CUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND TRIED TO PULL OFF AND IT JERKED SOME MORE BEFORE IT PULLED OFF AND THEN I COULD GO ONLY 25. AT EVERY RED LIGHT I HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF AND ON JUST TO GET THE CAR OUT THE ROAD. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP TODAY AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE A ARM AND A LEG SAY MY WARRANTY ENDED AT A 100K AND I GOT THE CAR WITH 37K MILES ON IT. I DONT THINK THAT IS RIGHT. THEY TELL ME I HAD A WARRANTY FOR A 100K MILES BUT WHEN IT TIME TO FIX SOMETHING THE WARRANTY IS UP. I SHOULD STILL HAVE 30K LEFT BEFORE MY WARRANTY GOES OUT. BY THE WAY THIS STARTED ON APRIL 23RD 2018 THIS AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER SHIP ON APRIL 25TH.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA (66,000 MILES) ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED THE RPMS STARTED FLUCTUATING, FOLLOWED BY DIFFICULTY SHIFTING. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND CAME TO A FULL STOP. THE CAR WAS THEN UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. PUTTING IT IN PARK, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN ALLOWED ME TO ACCELERATE AND DRIVE TO A GAS STATION. I CALLED MY MECHANIC, HE SAID IT COULD BE CONTAMINATED GAS, AND DIRECTED ME TO FIND A NEARBY AUTOZONE, WHERE AN EMPLOYEE SCANNED THE CAR AND AGREED IT WAS CONTAMINATED GAS. I PURCHASED SEAFOAM AND PUT IT IN THE GAS TANK, WITH ASSURANCES THAT THIS WOULD CLEAR UP THE ISSUE BUT THE RIDE MAY BE 'BUMPY'. I DECIDED TO FINISH MY DRIVE TO NEW ORLEANS. UPON ENTERING NEW ORLEANS AND SHIFTING TO STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, IT WAS APPARANT THE ISSUE HAD NOT RESOLVED ITSELF. THE VEHICLE WAS BARELY ACCELERATING OR SHIFTING. IT FELT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THROUGH AN UNKNOWN CITY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING, I BROUGHT IT TO AUTOZONE AGAIN, THIS TIME THE SCAN SHOWED ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I HAD A TECHNICIAN REBOOT THE COMPUTER, BUT NOTHING CHANGED. NOT KNOWING THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE AND BEING 500+ MILES FROM HOME AND MY MECHANIC, I DECIDED TO RISK THE DRIVE BACK TO NASHVILLE, HAVING HAD EVERYONE AT THE AUTOZONE AND MY MECHANIC TELL ME AT 66K MILES THE TRANSMISSON SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE SERVICES. THE CAR WAS CLEARLY HAVING ISSUES, BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO HIGHWAY SPEED. I MADE IT TO ABOUT 200 MILES OUTSIDE OF NASHVILLE WHEN IT SIMPLY BECAME TOO UNSAFE FOR ME TO CONTINUE ON THE HIGHWAY. I GOT A TOW 200M HOME, DIRECTLY TO MY MECHANIC. HE INSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION THE FOLLOWING DAY AND FOUND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS DANGEROUSLY LOW WITH NO SIGN OF LEAKAGE. AFTER CHANGING THE FLUID, HE DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I TOOK IT INTO CARMAX, WHERE I HAS PURCHASED THE VEHICLE JUST OVER A YEAR PRIOR. THEY CAME TO THE SAME CONCLUSION.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
TAKATA RECALL ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON A LOWER GEAR OR NOT TRANSITIONING TO A HIGHER GEAR. THE MOST NOTICEABLE ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE RPM'S GETTING EXTREMELY HIGH WITH LITTLE OR NO INCREASE IN OVERALL SPEED. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE MY SPEED THE VEHICLE SLOWLY ACCELERATED UP TO 45 - 50 MPH BUT THE RPM'S REFLECTED 6,500+ BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO JERK AT THIS POINT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO MOVE TOWARDS THE EMERGENCY LANE/SHOULDER FEARING THAT IT WOULD ABRUPTLY STOP WORKING OR LOSE MOMENTUM. THIS INSTANCE HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS DURING THIS DRIVE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND IT SEEMED TO STOP AFTER THE SECOND TIME I PULLED OVER BUT ONLY AFTER I CYCLED THROUGH THE PARK/NEUTRAL/REVERSE/DRIVE/LOW GEARS A FEW TIMES. BASED ON THIS SECOND INSTANCE, I FEEL THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN ACCELERATING, IT NOSE DIVES AT AROUND 30 TO 45 MPH, DEPENDING ON HOW HARD ONE IS ACCELERATING. I BELIEVE THIS IS CAUSED BY A SHIFT SENSOR BECAUSE IT ACTS LIKE IT LETS GO OF THE GEAR AND AFTER A SECOND OR TWO IT ENGAGES INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME ONE WANTS TO GO OVER 50 MPH. ALSO, WHEN COMING A COMPLETE STAND STILL STOP AND THEN STAR TO ACCELERATE, IT HESITATES A BIT AND IT MAKES A BUMPING MOVEMENT, LIKE THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T DOWNSHIFTED INTO 1ST GEAR AUTOMATICALLY, AND DOES IT SO AFTER ONE PRESSES ON THE ACCELERATOR, THUS CAUSING IT TO DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST FROM 3RD AND I BELIEVE THIS IS WHY I FEEL THE BUMPING MOVEMENT AND SLIGHT HESITATION TO ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY. IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME AND I HAVE NOT STUDIED IT TO PINPOINT WHY OR WHEN IT WILL DO THIS, BUT I CAN TELL RIGHT BEFORE IT IS GOING TO DO IT BECAUSE IT IS IN 3RD GEAR AND WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE, THE CAR WON'T MOVE FORWARD AS QUICKLY AS IT WOULD IF IT WAS IN 1ST GEAR.

VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT APRIL 7TH AT 9:30 PM. I WAS DRIVING DOWN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH KEEPING MY WINDOWS FROM FOGGING UP AND HAD TAKEN MY EYES OUT FROM THE ROAD TO LOOK AT MY DEFROST KNOBS TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. WHEN I LOOKED BACK UP, THERE WAS A TRUCK STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION WHICH I HIT DEAD ON AT A SPEED OF 40MPH. I BELIEVE I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND START TO APPLY MY BRAKE BEFORE COLLIDING INTO THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. ALTHOUGH I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT, IT DID NOT LOCK UP , ALLOWING MY BODY TO BE THROWN INTO THE STEERING WHEEL & DASHBOARD AND THUS FRACTURING MY LOWER BACK AND TIBIA ON LEFT LEG. IN ADDITION TO THE LACERATION ON MY LIVER AND BLEEDING ( INTERNAL BLEEDING) AROUND MY PELVIC BONE. MY SEATBELT RESTRAINT DID NOT LOCK AND MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY UNTIL AFTER MY CHEST HIT STEERING WHEEL. THESE 2 MALFUNCTIONS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED MUCH MORE SERIOUS INJURIES, EVEN DEATH. I HAVE A COUPLE ITEMS THAT DEMONSTRATE THE FORCE IN WHICH CHEST HIT STEERING COLUMN, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
