POWER TRAIN
SHIFTING FREQUENTLY LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING CAUSING DISTRACTION AND INABILITY TO ACCELERATE. UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS OR IN THREATENING SITUATIONS. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS UNABLE TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE TO PASS A SEMI-TRUCK WHILE FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE THE TRANSMISSION DANGEROUSLY AVERTS MY ATTENTION FROM SAFE DRIVING.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS IN MOTION WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED TO HESITATE AND NOT SPEED UP.I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT IT WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER WITH NISSAN CORPORATION BUT THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL AND NOT BEING COOPERATIVE. I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST NEAR WHERE I LIVE AND THEY STATED IT IS THE TRANSMISSION THAT WENT VERY BAD. I NO LONGER HAVE THE VEHICLE IN MY POSSESSION BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY AN ARM AND A LEG FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT WAS BEYOND MY CONTROL TO GET IT REPAIRED AND I WAS SOLD A LEMON VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE IN MOTION MY VEHICLE WILL START TO ACCELERATE AND THEN SLOW DOWN EVERY SO OFTEN. I COULD GO TO 20 MPH AND THEN MY CAR WILL START TO SLOW BACK DOWN AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS A COUPLE OF TIMES TO INCREASE THE ACCELERATION BACK UP. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE ON STREETS, HIGHWAYS, TURNING AND IN MOTION.

MY CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 81,361. I TOOK IT TO 4 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS, ONE OF THEM BEING THE NISSAN DEALER I GOT THE CAR FROM. ALL AGREED IT WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER ANY REPLACEMENT OR REPAIRS, BUT COULD REPAIR AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR $4800.00. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP IN TOWN AND THEY COULD DO THE REPAIR FOR $2800.00. I CHOSE TO GO WITH THE LESS EXPENSIVE AMOUNT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER I WOULD NOT GET ANY REIMBURSEMENT FORM NISSAN FOR THE REPAIR. NOW THAT I HAVE PAID $3000.00 AT THE OTHER PLACE AND OPENED A CASE WITH NISSAN'S COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN'S COMPLAINT DEPT. IF I HAD CHOSE TO GET IT FIXED AT A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THEY WOULD HAVE COVERED IT. AS I STATED TO THE LAST NISSAN REP. IF I HAD BEEN TOLD THEY WOULD COVER IT I WOULD HAVE USED NISSAN'S SERVICE AND NOT ANOTHER PLACE. THE PLACE I CHOSE IS ASE CERTIFIED AND NISSAN CERTIFIED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THEY DID PUT IN A TRANSMISSION AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY, SO NOW I HAVE HAD 2 REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS PUT IN MY CAR. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON NISSAN'S WEB SITE REGARDING THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN 2015 SENTRAS. HOW CAN A RECALL BE ISSUED FOR WHAT IS APPARENTLY A MASS PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ADMIT THEY HAVE? THANK YOU.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW DOWN OR STOP.IT START THE END OF 2016 BUT IT WAS ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN OXFORD MS IN 2017 AND HAD IT TESTED AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. IT IS MUCH WORSE NOW. IT USE TO BE A COUPLE TIMES A MONTH AT FIRST NOW IT HAPPENS ON AT LEAST HALF OF THE ACCELERATIONS FROM BEING STOPPED OR SLOWED ESPECIALLY IF YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER CARS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE HAVE ISSUED A BULLETIN FOR IT TO BE TESTED AND REPAIRED AT MY COST. THIS SHOULD BE NISSAN'S EXPENSE PLUS ANY DAMAGE IT HAS COST WITH ME DRIVING IT THIS WAY FOR 50,00 MILES AFTER THEY SAID IT WAS ANYTHING TO BE FIXED. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THIS STARTED AT 52,000 MILES NOW IT HAS 99,000 MILES IT WAS TESTED AT 56,000 MILES.

IM CURRENTLY THE SECOND OWNER ON WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A GOOD VEHICLE. I HAD NO CLUE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAD THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING. IT STARTED TWO WEEKS AFTER I HAD PUTCHASED MY VEHICLE. I WOULD ACCELERATE LIKE NORMAL AND TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL TO COAST TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT L, THE LIGHT CHANGES AND TURNED GREEN. I WOULD REAPPLY MY FOOT TO THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CVT WOULD THUD SO I TOOK IT TO BE REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD "IT WAS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF A CVT" NOT KNOWING ANY BETTER AS IT WAS MY FIRST CVT TRANSMISSION I KEPT DRIVING. NOW IM TOLD MY A CVT SPECIALIST THAT THAT THUD I WAS FEELING IS THE BEGINING OF MY TRANSMISSION BRAKING AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I CANNOT SEE HOW NISSAN EXPECTS SOMEONE TO PAY FOR A PRODUCT THAT SO MANY OF ITS VEHICLES HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLANING OF THE SAME ISSUES. IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE IT STARTS OVER REVVING WHEN CHANGING SPEEDS ON LOCAL ROADS. I ALSO HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD RANDOMLY NOT GO OVER 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY (POSSIBLY THE VEHICLE IS GOING INTO SOME KIND OF FAIL SAFE MODE) AND WOULD REV HEAVILY. I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN AND THEY ADVISED IT SOUNDS LIKE A CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, WHICH IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF THE NISSAN VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NOT CREATED A RECALL FOR THE 2013 NISSAN SENTRA AND ADVISED THEY DO NOT PLAN TO DO SO. *DT *JS*JB

TAKATA RECALL. THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2008 NISSAN SENTRA HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY. IT'S A AUTOMATIC AND SOMETIMES IT DONT WANT TO SHIFT GEARS WHEN I GET AROUND 30 MPH. THEN I HAVE TO STOP AND PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN PUT IT IN DRIVE AGAIN AND IT WILL START WORKING PROPERLY. ALSO SOMETIMES WHILE I'M ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 65-80 MPH THE RPM WILL FLUCTUATE FROM 2 TO 3 1/2 RPMS AND THEN OTHER TIMES WHILE GOING DOWN A HILL THE RPMS WILL STAY ABOVE 2 BUT MOSTLY 2 1/2 RPMS UNTIL I GET BELOW 15 MPH BEFORE IT DOWNSHIFTS. THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY AND ALL THE FLUID IS GOOD IN IT. IT NOW HAS AROUND 152,000 MILES ON IT BUT THE NISSAN COMPANY PUT A NEW TRANSMISSION IN IT A FEW YEARS AGO SO THE ACTUAL TRANSMISSION DOESNT HAVE THAT MANY MILES ON IT AT ALL. I'VE SEEN ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION FOR THIS CAR AND I THINK NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT ENDS UP TEARING MORE THAN THE TRANSMISSION OUT OF IT!
