VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
My RPMs do not catch up with my speed. While I'm driving rpms randomly fluctuate. The transmission doesn't engage quickly enough. Now my car can barely even stop quickly enough. it gets stuck in a high gear and when I try to accelerate it jerks. I can barely stop my car I have stop so far in advance and even than it will barely stop. THIS A HUGE SAFETY RISK for myself and others. This car still fairly new should not have these issues. I also did not any warning signs or check engine light nothing. I take care of my car. This car could potentially take the lives of others it needs to be recalled immediately.

POWER TRAIN
Nissian has a known issue with CVT transmissions. I've had my vechile for less then a year an I'm already being told I need a new transmission it's unacceptable. The issues my CVT has caused is extremely unsafe an dangerous to myself an my family an other drivers. My nissian would fail to accelerate almost causing me to be sideswiped on multiple!!! Occasions , these vehicles had to swerve around me because my vechile would simply not go. There's been too many close calls regarding my vechiles an the dangerous situations it's out myself an other drivers on the road in. Numerous occasions has it failed to accelerate properly , numerous occasions the vechile wasn't switching gears properly causing late reactions in the vechile an a.increased risk for accidents . Numerous occasions has my vechile decide to accelerate when I wasnt pressing the gas for it to do so , causing me to break or break hard at times I shouldn't of . Numerous occasions has my vechile literally decide it wasn't going to drive forward anymore an I would have to get out of traffic on highway an turn the vechile off an turn it back on for it to act properly.. this vechile has caused to many potential accidents .. I would hate for someone to actually get hurt for nissian to actually care about their customers. Nissian stated they basically didn't care an I would have to pay out if pocket for expenses regardless of how new or how low the milage on my vechile was..

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The FCW and the AEB lights come on periodically stating that the system is malfunctioning. Took it to the dealer and they said it was the sensor for the FCW and AEB that has failed. Other vehicles around my mileage and year and model have had the same issues. Nissan needs to take care of this.

AIR BAGS
I was driving my vehicle to pick my kids up when I heard a strange “pop” noise. I thought maybe a rock from the road had dinged my car. When I approached a red light the passenger side car door airbag cover swung off, exposing the airbags. There have been no hits to the car nor anyone sitting in the front seat of the car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
Unbeknownst to me, the stop lamp switch recall also effects the vehicle starting. I learned that they were related after I reached out to Nissan regarding my vehicle not starting, it first happened on New Years Eve. This has now happened 2-3X a week. In addition to this issue, I’ve experienced issues with the CVT, and possibly the engine. One evening I was heading home after work, I got onto the on ramp, and attempted to accelerate to merge onto I-84. The vehicle would not accelerate beyond 45, the engine would rev extremely high, and not go any faster. I pulled onto the shoulder as best and quickly as I could. I turned the car off then back on, attempted to merge onto I-84, and had to get onto the shoulder again because I wasn’t able to go faster than 45MPH. Both times I was almost sideswiped by an 18 wheeler on the driver side, had that happened I’d have lost my life. I sat there very frustrated, and in shock. After a few minutes of having no traffic, I drove home at 45MPH. I’ve reached out to Nissan regarding the aforementioned issues, asking if they’d buy the vehicle back for what I owe on it. I received a letter from Nissan Consumer Affairs basically refusing to buy the car back. It’s exasperating owning a 2019 with 15,100 miles, and experiencing these issues. I’m by no means the type of person that feels a brand new vehicle is more reliable than an older one. I’m the type of person that likes knowing I can rely on my car. My mothers’ 2003 Outback with over 230K has been far more reliable than my Sentra. Knowing that there’s no remedy to repair the stop lamp recall is frustrating, that means that each time I go to start my car it may not start, on days that it hasn’t, I’ve spent 10 minutes trying trying to get it to start. These issues are exasperating, and Nissan basically saying I’m SOL, isn’t acceptable.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
2019 NISSAN SENTRA Automatic Emergency Braking system suddenly brakes w/o warning while cars are present or not, sensor light comes on and car will stall or abruptly/automatically stop itself. Malfunction light comes on states malfunction look in owners manual. While driving car automatically stopped at a light or in traffic and would not move forward the malfunction light came on. This has been occurring 2 days after purchase (11-6- 2021- 12-7-2021) until recent. 12-7-21 the car stopped itself at a red light (I was the first vehicle in line no one in front of me or to my sides) on green as I tried to press on the gas the car stalled, the back windows rolled up and down, the radio went on and off, and the malfunction light for AEB flashed then the car locked, then solid engine light came on, @ first I could not get my hazard lights on then suddenly they worked. People drove past me honked, called me names, and finally one person helped me move it out of the road. While on the side of the road the car again was on but when I pressed on gas would not accelerate, however while the brake and emergency brake were on and the car was in park it rolled backwards. My son return it to the purchasing dealership twice with the complaint of the malfunction light on told they did not know what was going on and that it was unusual bring it back for maintenance. problem persisted. The car has been brought back twice to the dealership with this and other braking/electrical concerns w/in a shorttime before the final major incident happened (I am thankful that no-one was hurt). Right now 12-8-2021, I had been back to the dealership after reporting the incident with the idea that I would be helped and put into a newer safer vehicle, not the case upon arrival they tried to up sell me a new car @ higher price, when I said no, my option was to fix what is covered under warranty. States they will run own diagnostic test.
