POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED NISSAN SENTRA 2013 FIVE MONTHS AGO AT 47,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 4 MONTHS. THE FIRST 1 TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED, TRAFFIC WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PULL OVER IN TIME. IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS PUSHED TO THE SIDE AFTER PEOPLE PULLED OVER. THE SECOND TIME I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE WHEN THE CAR DECELERATED. TOWED BOTH TIMES. THE 3RD TIME I WAS PULLING INTO A REST STOP A SAFE AREA. I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR BACK UP BUT IT JERKED TO THE GARAGE. I WILL BE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND MY WARRANTY WILL BE OVER, I AM AMAZED THAT A CAR COMPANY IGNORES THIS WITH HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS.
