WE BOUGHT OUR 2013 NISSAN SENTRA IN 2015 FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THE PRICE TAG WAS SOMEWHERE AROUND 20-22 GRAND. I WAS EXPECTING THAT WE WOULD BE KEEPING THIS CAR FOR 10+ YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, NISSAN FAILED TO TELL US ABOUT THE CARS FAILING TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY SOLD US THE CAR. WHILE DRIVING ON A DAILY BASIS, THE CAR WOULD ODDLY PULL. BUT WHEN TEST DRIVING THE CAR WE WERE ASSURED THAT THIS WAS NORMAL AND CAUSED BY THE CVT TRANSMISSION. 3 1/2 YEARS LATER WHILE I WAS RUNNING A NORMAL ERRAND IN TOWN, THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I TRIED PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ON A HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ROAD AND HAD TO SWERVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS AND IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE AGAIN, BUT I SLOWLY DROVE ON BACKROADS TO GET THE CAR TO THE NISSAN IN OUR TOWN. ONCE THERE, THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST TO SEE WHAT IS WRONG AND GUESS WHAT? THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. NOW TELL ME, WHY DOES A 5 1/2 YEAR OLD CAR ALREADY HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURE?? WE HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 1/2 YEARS!! AND OUR WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 100,000 MILES. WE ARE AT 113,000. I BELIEVE THIS CAR HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.I THINK THESE CARS ARE NOT RELIABLE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED! THIS CAR LOOKS PERFECT AND IS NOW WORTHLESS.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, WHEN I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS IT THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME GET PAST 40 MPH. AFTER I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FASTER THAN 20 MPH BEFORE IT STARTED JERKING. I CALLED A MCCLARTY NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NORTH LITTLE ROCK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE DID NOT AFFECT MY CAR EVEN THOUGH YOUR WEBSITE DOES WHEN I LOOK IT UP BY THE VIN LIKE THEY DID.

THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAND PRAIRIE FORD (972-975-9621, LOCATED AT 701 E PALACE PKWY, GRAND PRAIRIE, TX 75050) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT SOMETHING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE FAILURE.

AIR BAGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON THE BYPASS TO GET FROM CHICAGO TO INDIANA WHEN I FELT LIKE THE CAR WAS BEING SHIFTED SO AS I WAS SHIFTING TOWARDS THE LEFT SIDE INTO A DITCH, I ENDED UP ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AS SOON AS A STOPPED AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED OUT ON THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS SIDE ALONG THE WINDOWS. I LET ME CAR PPL KNOW ABOUT AND THEY TOLD ME BY MY CAR BEING LIGHT WEIGHT, I COULD BE GOING 45MPH, IF THE WIND IS STRONG THEN IT CAN POSSIBLY KNOCK ME OFF THE ROAD BUT I NEVER HEARD ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IF I WAS GOING FAST, MY CAR PROBABLY WOULD'VE FLIPPED OVER! AND WHEN I DRIVE, THE FLOOR MATS BE SLIDING UNDER THE GAS PEDALS AND STUFF AND NOW THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED, MY SEAT BELTS ARE LOCKED IN THE FRONT

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED 1 TIME ALREADY FOR IT CRACKING WITHOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. IT WOULD ACCELERATE RANDOMLY AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE GAS. I'M NOW HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND ALMOST GOT INTO A CAR ACCIDENT ON AN EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND WHEN I GOT OFF THE MAIN ROAD IT ACCELERATED WITHOUT ME EVEN TOUCHING THE GAS PEDDLE.

MY CAR HAS THE CVT AND AT TIMES YOU HAVE TO REALLY PRESS HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE CAR TO SELECT A GEAR AND MOVE. IF YOU EASE INTO THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE IT'S ALMOST AS IF I AM DRIVING MY HUSBAND'S RACECAR WITH A STALL CONVERTER IN IT. I TOOK IT TO THE SELLING DEALER AT ONLY 22,000 MILES AND THEY WANTED TO CHANGE THE FLUID WITHOUT FIRST EVEN TAKING IT FOR A RIDE OR EXPLAINING WHY IT NEEDED THE FLUID CHANGED SO SOON WHEN THE MANUAL STATES 60K.

STARTING AROUND 75,000 MILES, MY NISSAN SENTRA STARTED STUTTERING, STALLING, AND LOSING POWER BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION. MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA'S TRANSMISSION FAILED ON 4/11/2019 AT 83,975 MILES (1 YEAR AND 23K MILES OVER THE WARRANTY). OVER THE PAST YEAR, THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN A PUBLIC AND PERSONAL SAFETY HAZARD. I WAS NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, OR ON HIGHWAYS IN FEAR OF WHAT HAPPENED ON 4/11 WOULD HAPPEN ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE FACT THAT SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT AND EXPENSIVE WOULD FAIL ON A CAR SO FAST PROVES THAT THIS PART OF THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE BETWEEN SHIFTING GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STAND ATILL. THIS HAPPENED WHEN MY CAR HAD ABOUT 89,000 MILES. TOOK IT IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE TO BE THE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT NISSAN SENTRA CVT TRANSMISSION IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT APPEARS THAT THE ENGINE IS NOT CHANGING GEARS AUTOMATICALLY. OR IT COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INJECTION OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM.
