POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, NOTICED THE VEHICLE START TO SPORADICALLY JERK. ENGINE RPM WOULD JUMP AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS NON RESPONSIVE AT TIMES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED. PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND HAD NO RESPONSE AT ALL. STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTING TO FAIL. CAR IS A 2017 AND HAS LESS THAN 92000 MILES ON IT. EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDS ON THAT YEAR AT 84000 MILES. WITHOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE THE REPAIR IS AROUND $4000. LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND FOUND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY OR ISSUE A RECALL. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO BE DRIVING AND LOSE ACCELERATOR RESPONSE ALL TOGETHER

SERVICE BRAKES
WE PURCHASED A USED 2017 NISSAN SENTRA IN APRIL 2019. IT CURRENTLY HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT, AND FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT SOFT BRAKES. THE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. MECHANIC HAD PROBLEMS DIAGNOSING IT BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT. FINALLY HE REPLICATED THE ISSUE AND FLUSHED AIR OUT OF THE BRAKE LINES. BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN ISSUE STARTED UP AGAIN. STILL TRYING TO GET THE MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN I LOSS 90% ACCELERATION AND VELOCITY WHILE DRIVING. VERY, VERY SCARY! I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I PROCEEDED TO CHECK THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER BY AAA WHEN A SERVICE CALL WAS PLACED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AT MY HOME. AAA'S. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER ARE GREAT AND THAT THESE THINGS WERE NOT THE REASON WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON. THE CAR IS ONLY 3YRS 11MNTHS OLD. I GET THE STANDARD OIL CHANGE BUT NISSAN HAS DISCONTINUED TO USE CONVENTIONAL OIL. WHICH IS THE RECOMMENDED OIL FOR MY CAR. I ALSO GET THE CAR SERVICED AS NEEDED. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY CAR. I CANNOT DRIVE IT PERIOD. IT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER 60 TO 120 SECONDS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR HAS STARTED ACTING CONFUSED WITH THE GEAR SHIFTS. IT'S ALMOST LIKE I AM REPEATINGLY PUTTING IT IN DRIVE THEN NEUTRAL THEN SPORTS MODE WHEN I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING JUST TRYING TO DRIVE. THE CAR STRUGGLES TO PICK UP SPEED AND 'GIDDY UP' WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT GETS WORSE WHEN I GO UP HILL OR OVER 40 MPH. I WAS TOLD IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW HAVE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT PER THE DIAGNOSIS.

MY GEARS DID NOT APPEAR ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO HOME. THE CAR ALSO WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR (REVERSE OR DRIVE). I KEPT TRYING TO SWITCH THE GEARS AND PRESS THE GAS. THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED MOVING FORWARD AND GAINED ENOUGH SPEED FOR ME TO DRIVE HOME. THE NEXT DAY I CRANKED MY CAR, THE GEARS SHOWED UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR MOVED (I WAS HOME IN MY DRIVEWAY). HOWEVER SINCE, THE GEARS HAVE DISAPPEARED AGAIN AND THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS UPON ENTERING THE CAR, PRESSING ON THE BRAKES, AND PUSHING THE START BUTTON, THE CAR WILL NOT START. I HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES, SOMETIMES AS LONG AS AN HOUR AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTS. IT STARTS AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED LATE AT NIGHT, SINCE I TRAVEL AND WORK MULTIPLE DIFFERENT SHIFTS AS A TRAVEL NURSE. IT'S EXTREMELY SCARY TO LEAVE WORK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, GET TO THE DARK PARKING LOT, AND YOUR CAR NOT START.

I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND THE MOST PROBLEMATIC ONE IS THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I ACCELERATE TO HIGH SPEED ON HIGHWAY AT A POINT THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO ACT UP. THE RPM START TO GO UP AND DOWN CRAZY. AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND I COULD OF HAD HARDCORE ACCIDENTS THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, BUT RANDOMLY. THERE ARE NO CHECK LIGHTS ON OR ANYTHING, SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE DRIVE NORMAL AND AT TIMES IT DOES NOT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEVER HAD THE TIME TO FIX MY VEHICLE UNTIL I SAID ENOUGH I NEED THIS DONE ASAP. WELL IT TOOK THEM 5 DAYS TO TELL ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND GIVEN CODE IS DTC: P17F4. I WAS LOOKING INTO IT AND DID SEE THERE ARE CURRENT RECALLS FOR SOME SENTRA BUT MINE IS NOT ONE I GUESS MAYBE IT IS THE MODEL I DONT KNOW.
