ENGINE
I AM MICHIGAN RESIDENT WHO RECENTLY TOOK A JOB OUT OF STATE IN WI. ON 02/17/19 I WAS TRAVELING TO WISCONSIN. DURING THE TRIP MY CAR BEGAN TO DEVELOP ISSUES WITH SUDDENLY ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING AS WELL AS LOSING POWER. AT MANY POINTS I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR ON THE ICE ROADS DUE TO THE POWER LOSS AND SHUDDEN SHIFTS. I CAME TO FIND THAT MY CAR, A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA (WHICH I BOUGHT USED FROM CARITE IN 2017), UTILIZED A CVT TRANSMISSION, WHICH UNBEKNOWNST TO ME WAS A KNOWN TO HAVE PROBLEMS AFFECTING CVT TRANSMISSIONS THAT ARE IN MANY NISSAN CARS. NISSAN HAS FAILED ON THEIR PART TO INFORM THE CONSUMER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, AS DID THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. NISSAN ALSO OWNS A 75% STAKE IN THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THESE TRANSMISSIONS FOR THEIR CARS. JATCO IS THE COMPANY. ON 02/18/19, I ALSO FILED A CONSUMER COMPLAINT AGAINST NISSAN. NISSAN REQUESTED I BRING THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT EXAMINED. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN GREEN BAY, WI WHERE IT ESSENTIALLY DIED. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ANSWER WAS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR APPROXIMATELY $4100.00. NISSAN DECIDED THAT, DESPITE THE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS, THEY WILL NOT HELP AT ALL. I AM DISABLED (I HAVE ONE LEG, AND ALSO SUFFERED AN INJURY TO MY SPINE AND RIGHT HAND WHICH CAUSED ME TO BE OUT OF WORK FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD ' WHICH IS WHY I WAS FORCED TO TAKE A JOB OUT OF STATE TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY) AND NEED A CAR FOR BOTH MY JOB AND TO GET AROUND. I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR COST OF $4100.00 QUOTED BY THE DEALERSHIP. NOW I AM FORCED TO NOW RENT A CAR (AS I NEED A CAR FOR MY NEW JOB) AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $33.00 A DAY I FEEL BETRAYED AND WAS PUT AT RISK OF HARM BY NISSAN. THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD NOT NOT GO INTO THIRD GEAR. THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND I HAD LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER. I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE NO LIGHTS TURNED ON LETTING ME KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. HAD TO GET TOWED AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR ANYTHING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. NISSAN REALLY SCREWED PEOPLE ON THIS

2013 NISSAN SENTRA WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY FINE, AND OUT OF THE BLUE, MY ENGINE BASICALLY FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, COMPLETELY. THANKFULLY, NO CARS WERE NEAR AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE. THANKFULLY IT WASN'T ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WHERE A MAJOR ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TESTED IT AND IT IS INDEED A CVT FAILURE. IT NEEDS A BRAND NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR HAS 44,000 MILES ON IT, AND IS JUST OVER 5 YEARS OLD. IT IS DANGEROUS TO MYSELF AND OTHERS TO HAVE THIS CAR ON THE ROAD WITH THESE ENGINES. THERE ARE SO MANY CASES OF 2013 CVT FAILING, BUT YET NO RECALL. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP THEIR GAME UP LIKE THEY HAVE ON PREVIOUS YEARS THAT INCLUDED CVT AND EXTEND THEIR WARRANTY. THERE IS NO REASON A PERFECT GOOD CAR SHOULD HAVE THIS PROBLEM ALREADY. THIS CAR GOES FROM POINT A TO POINT B, AS IT IS BASICALLY A WORK CAR. PLEASE, PLEASE CONSIDER THIS, AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHERS. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND UNREALISTIC, AND NISSAN IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.

LOSS OF POWER, TRANSMISSION JERKING FLUTTERING VIBRATING AND CLUNKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND STOPPING, RPM SPIKING REAL HIGH AND CAR LOSES POWER AND TRANSMISSION THEN JERKS AND YOU CAN NOT ACCELERATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. TRANSMISSION FLUTTER AND VIBRATE BETWEEN 20 MPH AND 45 MPH WITH SEEM LIKE A SLIGHT POWER LOSS. CAR HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TO NISSAN BUT THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE SINCE IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN IT WANTS OR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A REAL LONG TIME. ALSO WHEN IT'S FIRST STARTED AND DRIVEN THE ENGINE KINDA TICKS WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE. AND MOST RECENTLY TODAY THE CAR LOST POWER COMPLETELY AND THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON WITH CODE P0101. MASS OVERFLOW SENSOR CODE. NISSAN CLEANED THROTTLE BODY AND REPROGRAMMED ECU. CAR IS STILL EXPERIENCING ALL PROBLEMS ABOVE OTHER THAN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF AND THE CAR HASN'T LOST COMPLETE POWER AGAIN BUT DOES EXPENSIVE SLIGHT/MODERATE POWER LOSS FREQUENTLY. IT WAS FIRST SERVICED AT NISSAN ON 7/3/2018 FOR TRANSMISSION, AND AGAIN TODAY 2/22/19 FOR CODE P0101 WITH POWER LOSS

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR WORK 9 MONTHS AGO, THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS OUT, AND NISSAN SAID THEY ARE NOT COVERING THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH LAWSUITS, AND EXTENDED WARRANTYS. NISSAN SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALREADY REPLACED AT 16K MILES AND THEY WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILED THE CAR JERKS, AND SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE TRAVELING ON I-95 IN MIAMI AT 55 MPH, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ACCELERATING AND WOULDN'T PASS 20 MPH. I PUSHED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO BE ON THE MIDDLE LANE AND QUICKLY SHIFTED OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT ON THE EMERGENCY LANE AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I TURNED IT BACK IN AND IT WORKED FINE. I DIDN'T USE THE CAR FOR TWO DAYS, AND THEN WHEN I TRIED AGAIN, IT WAS GIVING THE SAME ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE AND WAS MAKING A WEIRD NOISE WHICH I NEVER EXPIERNED BEFORE. I TOOK TO MY TRUSTED MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED IT WAS A CVT ISSUE. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO A CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERSHIP AS NISSAN AGREED TO CONSIDER POSSIBLE FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. UPON COMPLETION IT WAS CONFIRMED IT WAS A CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $5,000 TO REPAIR WITH LABOR COSTS. NISSAN HAS TO GIVEN ME BACK MY CAR AND IT'S NOW THE 20TH OF FEBRUARY. MY CAR HAS 99,450 MILES, AND HAS BEEN IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH MY MAINTENANCE. IT'S SCARY AND UNFORTUNATE THAT WE HAVE BEEN SOLD A DEFECTIVE CAR AND NISSAN WON'T ADMIT TO IT. THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OPEN AND STILL IN COURT. I GOT AN ATTORNEY INVOLVED WHO HAS TAKEN UP MY CASE FOR FURTHER ACTION AGAINST NISSAN. CONSUMER SHOULD BE ADVISED TO STOP DRIVING THIS CAR ASAP! I AM NOW LOOKING TO GET A NEW CAR AS I DON'T FEEL SAFE ANYMORE DRIVING THIS AND I NEED A RELIABLE AND SAFE VEHICLE FOR WORK.

MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SUDDEN SHAKING AND ISSUES WITH RPM'S, IT WONT CHANGE GEARS AND ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. ESPECIALLY WHEN IM AT A STOPLIGHT, IT WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT MAKES A WIREY SOUND AND IT ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT. I CAN BARELY GO PAST 60 MPH AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES.

'TAMARA RECALL' I WAS DRIVING WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED JERKING AND THE SPEEDOMETER WAS RACING UP AND DOWN, I WENT TO PULL OUT ON THE HIGHWAY AND WAS NEARLY HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK BECAUSE THE CAR HAD LOST POWER AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 5 MPH. THE TRUCK HAD TO SWERVE TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. THIS CAR HAS A FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE OFF THE ROAD. IT HAPPENS WITH NO WARNING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST $5000 TO FIX THAT I DON'T HAVE. AND I STILL OWE $10,000 ON THE CAR.
