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

I BOUGHT A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA ABOUT 2= MONTHS AGO THEY SAID THAT THE CVT AND TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS ON THIS MATTER. I STILL OWE 12000 ON THIS CAR AND I AM NOT PAYING 6000 OR SOMETHING I DIDN'T CAUSE. I AM PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CANT DRIVE.

THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON/OFF FOR OVER A YEAR. I HAVE HAD IT "FIX" . CODE KEPT SAYING MASSAIR SENSOR. LAST WEEK I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY PUT ON AN UPDATED CLIP. AND TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING . SO I DID RESEARCH AND LEARNED THAT SOME CARS HAVE RECALLS ON THIS AND WOULD BE COVERED TIL 120,000 MILES . THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT COVERED. IF THIS IS AN UNIVERSAL ISSUES WHY IS IT NOT COVERED .

WITH NO EVENT ASSOCIATED, MY TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHUTTER AND RATTLE WHEN I SLOWED TO A NEAR STOP, THEN ACCELERATED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND ASKED TO HAVE A TECHNICIAN TAKE A RIDE WITH ME TO HEAR THE NOISE AND FEEL THE RATTLE. THE TRANSMISSION RATTLED FOUR TIMES AS WE CIRCLED THE BLOCK. HIS ANSWER WAS "THAT IS NOTHING, SOME TIMES THAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ROAD IS WET." I TOLD HIM THAT IT HAPPENS WET OR DRY AND HE AGAIN DISMISSED IT AS "NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT." WELL IT IS NOT 'NOTHING.' THE SHUTTER/RATTLE OCCURS WHEN I SLOWDOWN INTO A TURN, THEN ACCELERATE. OR IF I AM ON A STRAIGHT-AWAY AND BRAKE, THEN ACCELERATE IT WILL SHUTTER. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS THAT SOUND TOO SIMILAR TO BE A COINCIDENCE. MY WIFE IS AFFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I AM CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY.

ENGINE
CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED, NEEDED REPLACED AFTER 95,000 MILES. THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD FROM A STOP AND BETWEEN GEARS. FOUR DIFFERENT MECHANICS, INCLUDED A NISSAN TECHNICIAN, ALL AGREED THAT IT WAS A BAD CVT TRANSMISSION. NISSAN TECHNICIAN LOOKED UP EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH WAS OFFERED ON 2007-2010 MODELS, BUT HAS NOT YET BEEN EXTENDED TO NEWER MODELS AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE APPLIED TO MY CAR. I JUST SPENT $3800 TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ON A 3 1/2 YEAR OLD CAR.

POWER TRAIN
WAS ON A 5-LANE HIGHWAY (SPEED LIMIT: 50MPH) AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE EFFECTIVELY. THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SURGE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN INTERMITTENT REVING. LUCKILY, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. UPON STARTING FROM A LIGHT, THE ENGINE LAGGED TRYING TO ACCELERATE LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. THEN IT REVVED TO REDLINE WITHOUT ANY ACCELERATION. ACCELERATION CONTROL WAS NOW COMPLETELY GONE ON A 40MPH ROAD. THANKFULLY, I MADE IT TO A TWO LANE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC WHEN IT HAPPENED AND COASTED APPROXIMATELY A HALF MILE HOME. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH 62,000 MILES ON IT. THEY ADVISED THE CVT NOT REPAIRABLE AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT AS THEY FOUND PIECES OF THE DRIVE BELT AND WASHERS PRESENT IN THE TRANSMISSION PAN. THEY SAID THE FACTORY WARRANTY WAS 5-YEARS/60,000 MILES AND WOULD NOT ASSIST. CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY DECLINED TO ASSIST STATING THEY WOULD NOT HELP BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, PREOWNED AND THEY COULD NOT LOCATE SERVICE RECORDS. THE DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS $3,800 TO REPLACE THE CVT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND WILL NOT ASSIST. IT CAUSES AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ACCELERATION CONTROL AND NEAR STATIONARY TRAFFIC IMPEDANCE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE RIGHT, IT SHIFTS, IT "LULLS" IT HESITATES, I HAVE AN ISSUE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH AT STOP LIGHTS AND DRIVING ON THE MERGE RAMPS FROM THE HIGHWAY I DRIVE EVERYDAY TO WORK. AT TIMES IT FEELS LIKE AS SHIFTING GEARS, IT QUICKLY SHIFTS TO ANOTHER GEAR OR LIKE I MENTIONED ABOVE, THERE IS A ""HESITATION" BETWEEN SHIFT GEARS.
