POWER TRAIN
GOES LIMP, DELAY WHEN PRESSING THE GAS WHILE IN MOTION, APPLICABLE TO BOTH CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY. BASED ON INFORMATION GATHERED, IT APPEARS THE TRANSMISSION COOLER IS NOT PROVIDING ADEQUATE FLUID COOLING WHEN DRIVING IN HIGH TEMPERATURES RESULTING IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO GET HOT AND THE CAR TO GO LIMP (STALLED ACCELERATION) WHICH CREATES AN UNSAFE OPERATING CONDITION. VARIOUS DATES...

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE PUT OUR VIN INTO THE RECALL DATABASE AND IT DID NOT COME BACK AS BEING ONE OF THE CARS AFFECTED. HOWEVER, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL: ENGINE STALLING AND HAVING TO BE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED; NO POWER TO ENGINE WHEN STEPPING ON GAS WHILE IN DRIVE. IT HAS BEEN OKAY ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT WILL OFTEN CUT OUT WHEN DRIVING IN CITY, ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING BACK FROM A START OR ROLLING START. HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY WITH NO PREDICTABILITY OTHER THAN HAS NEVER HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY.

I EXPERIENCED RPM INCREASING AND DECREASING WHILE DRIVING. WHILE THIS OCCURRED I ALSO EXPERIENCED THE CAR JERKING AS IF IT WAS HAVING TROUBLE TRYING TO ACCELERATE. EVENTUALLY IT STALLED AND STARTED GOING IN REVERSE ONLY. WHEN I TURNED IT OFF I GOT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. I DIDNT WANT TO RISK FURTHER DAMAGE SO I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A MECHANIC. HE DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE QUOTED ME $3500 TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION DIRECTLY FROM NISSAN

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON MY WAY HOME VISITING MY SON, I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING 75 MPH, WHEN I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE ACCELERATION LOSS IN MY 2012 NISSAN SENTRA SL. MY CVT TRANSMISSION WAS OVERWORKING AND YOU CAN CLEARLY HEAR THE TRANSMISSION TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS, MY CAR DROPPED FROM 75 MPH TO UNDER 50 MPH ON A BUSY FREEWAY, THE RPM'S WERE RUNNING HIGH WHILE THE CAR HAD ZERO POWER, MY FOOT WAS COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN TO ASSIST THE CAR TO ACCELERATE AND IT WOULD NOT. I MANAGED TO MOVE MY CAR OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE TO TRY AND RECOVER MY VEHICLES SPEED. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE HAZARD TO THOSE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM, IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE TRAVELING LONG DISTANCES, ON A BUSY HIGHWAY DURING, WITH CHILDREN IN YOUR VEHICLE WHEN YOUR CAR DROPS TO LIMP MODE OUT OF NOWHERE. MY BROTHER IN LAW WHO JUST RETIRED FROM THE MARINE CORP AFTER 20 YEARS OF SERVICE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED DUE TO THE RECALL ON THIS MODEL FOR THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE JUST A YEAR AGO AND IS STILL SHOWING SIGNS OF THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE EVEN AFTER IT WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN FOR REPAIRS.

POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLES TRANSMISSION WARRANTY ENDED AT 120,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 145,500 MILES. I'VE READ ONLINE THESE VEHICLES WITH CVT TRANSMISSION HAVE ISSUES WITH REPAIR CODE P0744. THEY HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR OLDER VEHICLES EXCEPT MINE TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY ASSEMBLY. I CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS TOLD THEY CANNOT HELP BECAUSE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND VEHICLE IS OLD. ALL I'M ASKING FOR THEM TO COVER MOST OF THE REPAIRS OR ALL OF IT. IN THIS CASE VEHICLE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN. VEHICLES RPM FLUCTUATED? JERKED AND LOST SPEED, THEN SPEED WOULD INCREASE. REPAIRS IS GOING TO COST ME OVER $1200.00.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
TIME FREEZES ON DASH SCREEN ALONG WITH WHAT WAS PLAYING ON MY BLUETOOTH IN DASH CLUSTER SCREEN. RADIO BUTTONS AND PHONE BUTTONS STOP WORKING ON STEERING WHEEL WHEN DASH CLUSTER SCREEN FREEZES. THE FIRST TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR IN ON 2/18/19 WITH THIS PROBLEM THEY TOLD ME IT WAS MY CHARGER THEN THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IPHONES WITH 2019 NISSAN VEHICLES. STOPPED USING CHARGER. SECOND TIME BRINGING MY VEHICLE IN FOR SAME CONTINUOUS PROBLEM ON 3/27/19 THEY DID AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECK BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. STILL NOT USING CHARGER. THIRD TIME BRINGING MY VEHICLE IN 5/29/19 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CHECK WAS DONE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY BATTERY WAS LOW CRANK AS WELL. TOLD ME IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOW AND THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE DASH CLUSTER AND BATTERY. THE DEALERSHIP (HARBOR NISSAN) WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR HAD MY CAR FOR A MONTH (THEY GOT ME INTO A RENTAL CAR THE WHOLE TIME)SO I GOT IT BACK ON 6/28/19 AFTER PARTS WERE REPLACED. NOT EVEN A MONTH OF HAVING MY CAR BACK IT DOES IT AGAIN ON 7/23/19 MY SERVICE ADVISOR WAS TOLD THE CAR MIGHT NEED A HARNESS AND I CALLED 7/27/19 MY SERVICE ADVISOR WAS NOT IN AND THEY TOLD ME I COULD PICK MY CAR UP THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO DO IT FOR THEM. BUT WHEN THEY HAD IT FOR A MONTH IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD?? NOW ITS NOT? THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR OVER AND HOUR OR TWO. IT HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY AND CITY.

MY TRANSMISSION WILL NO LONGER OPERATE SAFELY. IT JERKS, MAKES NOISE, AND IT STILL HAS GENERALLY LOW MILEAGE. THE CAR DEVELOPED THE SOUND FIRST, SO I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SERVICED. THEY INFORMED ME AT THAT TIME THAT THE NOISE WAS IN FACT THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT IT WAS GOING BAD.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THESE ARE ALL OF THE PROBLEMS I'M EXPERIENCING; LOSS OF POWER, TRANSMISSION JERKING, TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, CVT COOLANT HOSE LEAKS AND FAILURES. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS IN MOTION ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS AND MY CAR COULDN'T GO OVER 35MPH. NOT ONLY WAS I ENDANGER MY CHILD WAS ALSO IN THE BACK SEAT TO DO THE FACT MY CAR COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL!! I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS FOR SOME TIME NOW BUT THE LOSS OF POWER WAS THE LAST STRAW. AND THEN I START DOING RESEARCH ON MY CAR AND FIND OUT NISSAN HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND I WANT TO KNOW WHY THEIR ISN'T SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES. ITS A DANGER TO MY FAMILY AND THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!
