ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
CAR STARTING JERKING AND CAME TO ALMOST A COMPLETE STOP OUT THE BLUE AT 136,000-138,000 SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN DON'T EXACTLY REMEMBER. THE FIRST SIGH SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH CAR WAS THE RPM WOULD JUST GO UP HIGH OUT OF BLUE WHILE ACCELERATING WHICH WAS DANGEROUS AD JUST COMMING TO A STOP OUT OF NOWHERE. WE CALLED AROUND TRYING TO GET ISSUE FIXED BUT NOONE COULD HELP CAUSE THERE WAS NO LIGHT ON IN CAR TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT JUST CAME ON AS OF TODAY 10/11/2019 FOR FIRST TIME EVER AT 141,000 AND CAR STOPS DOESNT PULL. DOES ON HIGHWAY, INTERSTATE AND WHILE TURNING.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING MY NISSAN SENTRA 2011 WITH AN APPROX SPEED OF 35 MPH AND THEN SUDDENLY HEARD SOME NOISE FROM THE BONNET. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR BUT STILL ABLE TO HEAR SOUND COMING FROM THE ABS MODULE. I TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND HE SUGGESTED TO CHECK FOR THE RECALL AS LIGHT FOR VDC,ABS & BRAKE TURNED ON. I CHECKED WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY SAID THEY DONT HAVE ANY INFORMATION WITH MY VIN# FOR ANY RECALL. I AM SURPRISED TO SEE THIS AS THE CAR DIDNT MEET ANY ACCIDENT WHEN ALL THIS HAPPEN. NISSAN AUTHORISED CENTER DID DIAGNOSTIC AFTER CHARGING $244 JUST TO COME OUT THAT ABS ACTUATOR(47660-9AA1A) NEED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WILL FURTHER COST ME ABOUT $1900. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO COVER UP THIS COST AS THIS SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE UNDER A CAMPAIGN.

CAR WOULDNT START BUT PANEL LIGHTS CAME ON. JUMPED STARTED CAR AND IT WORKED FINE FOR A WHILE THEN SAME ISSUE DAYS LATER, NISSAN REPLACED THE BATTERY AND WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS THEN SAME ISSUE BOUGHT ANOTHER BATTERY AND NEXT TIME CAR WOULDNT START IT MADE THE CLICK SOUND LIKE THE ALTERNATOR WAS BAD BUT ITS TESTED FINE.IM TIRED OF HAVING TO CHARGE THE BATTERY JUST SO I WONT GET STRANDED. NISSAN DEALER CLAIMS CAR HAS TO BE DRIVEN AT LEAST 20 MILES PER DAY TO KEEP BATTERY CHARGED. NEVER HAD THAT ISSUE WITH MY 1989 SENTRA BUT IT HAD OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA HAD NO KNOWN PROBLEMS, AND I HAD NO ICONS ON MY DASHBOARD THAT SOMETHING NEEDED ATTENTION... NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT..NONE. AND WHEN I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO GET AN OIL CHANGE, MY CAR HAD NO SERIOUS ISSUES. AND JUST RECENTLY AS I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BREAK BECAUSE I WAS PARKING MY CAR'S ENGINE TURNED OFF,, BUT THE RADIO WAS STILL ON. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO TURN ON UNTIL IT DID, BUT AS SOON AS I SHIFTED TO REVERSE OR DRIVE, THE ENGINE WOULD JUST TURN OFF. AND NOW MY CAR TURNS ON BUT MAKES A WEIRD NOISE LIKE SOMETHING IS DRAGGING, BUT ENGINE REMAINS ON, AND EVERY TIME I SHIFT TO DRIVE OR REVERSE MY CAR TURNS OFF. IV'E PURCHASED MY CAR NEW BACK IN 2013, AND IT ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES. I DON'T DRIVE LONG DISTANCES TOO OFTEN OR GET ON THE HIGHWAY TOO MUCH. I WORK ABOUT 20 MINUTES AWAY FROM WORK WITH TRAFFIC. I HAVE DONE MY OIL CHANGE AT MY NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING EVER CAME UP ON THEIR MULTI INSPECTION. I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE VEHICLE MADE SOME GRINDING NOISE UNDERNEATH AND DIED SUDDENLY. IT WAS TOWED TO THE MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD IT WILL BE $4,000.00 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 60,873 MILES ON IT. NATURALLY THE WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 60,000 MILES. I STILL HAVE 3 YEARS OF MONTHLY PAYMENTS LEFT. NATURALLY, WHEN I GOOGLE THE NISSAN SENTRA 2016, YOU CAN SEE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION.

ENGINE
I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS PETAL TO DRIVE AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN AND IT JUST CUT OFF AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR TO MAKE IT HOME. ALSO WHILE DRIVING I COULD FEEL THE CAR SHAKING OR VIBRATING, EVEN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN OR CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT IT WAS SHAKING/VIBRATING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS. I DID HAVE MY CAR SERVICED LAST MONTH AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND WASN'T SURE WHY THE LIGHT WAS ON. IT HAS BEEN A MONTH AND MY ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WORRY WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF MY CAR IS GOING TO CUT OFF AGAIN WHILE I'M DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, I ALSO WORRY EVERY TIME I FEEL IT SHAKE/VIBRATE THINKING ITS GOING TO CUT OFF. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND WORRISOME. I HOPE THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED- NOT A HAPPY NISSAN OWNER RIGHT NOW.

POWER TRAIN
DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEED THE TRANSMISSION CUT OUT, RPMS REV'D UP AND SPEED DROPPED EVEN WITH FULL GAS PEDAL PRESSURE. PULLED OVER SAFELY, PLACED CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED DRIVING. MINUTES LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED. SUDDEN DROP OF SPEED ON HIGHWAY IS NOT SAFE AND NISSAN SHOULD STEP UP AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. SO MANY ISSUES WITH THE 2013 CVT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DON'T STEP UP TO OFFER EXTENDED WARRANTEE OFFERS LIKE IN THE EARLIER YEARS. THIS IS MY DAUGHTER'S CAR AND SHE WILL NOT BE DRIVING THIS WHILE THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. SUCH A SHAME AS SHE SAVED HER MONEY TO BUY THIS PRE-OWNED VEHICLE AND THE THOUGHT OF REPLACING THE TRANNY THIS SOON IS VERY UPSETTING.
