SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION RETURNED TO NORMAL, THE BRAKES SEIZED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HANLEES DAVIS NISSAN (5009 CHILES RD, DAVIS, CA 95618, (530) 231-3000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT NEW CYLINDERS AND BRAKE BOOSTERS NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALSO REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND ONTO CITY STREET. THE TORQUE CONVERTER GAVE OUT AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SPUTTERING AT STOP SIGNS AND LIGHT, AND THEN THRUSTING FORWARD JOLTING TOWARD TRAFFIC. I NEARLY HAD TWO OTHER VEHICLES REAR END ME DURING SPUTTERING, AND I NEARLY HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THE CAR THRUST FORWARD VIOLENTLY. I TURNED IN TO THE NEAREST AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP WHO TOLD ME MY TORQUE CONVERTER BLEW AND I WAS VERY LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE 82 DAYS AND NOW HAVE TO DO AN ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REBUILD, WHICH AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING NISSAN SHOULD ADDRESS, AS I ENDANGERED THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN, MYSELF, AND OTHER DRIVERS/PASSENGERS ON THE ROAD. THE CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED AND HAS ONLY ONE PREVIOUS OWNER. I DID NOT EVEN DRIVE 2,000 MILES BEFORE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, AND I FULLY BELIEVE THESE CONSTANT VARIABLE TRANSMISSIONS POSE A THREAT TO ANYONE OPERATING A VEHICLE, AND THAT THIS IS GROUNDS FOR A FACTORY RECALL OR AT THE LEAST ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS. THANK YOU.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 60,962 THE CAR STARTED STARTED SHAKING, JERKING AND LOOSING SPEED AND THEN IT CUTTING OFF AT THE STOP LIGHT. THE CAR CUT OFF ON ME GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY I WAS AT A LIGHT & THEN I WAS UNABLE TO PROCEED WITH TRAFFIC. I TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS & TURNED THE HEAT OFF WAITED FOR THE CAR TO MAYBE COOL OFF I REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG & THEN I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR & DRIVE HOME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER SHIP TWICE & THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE AIRFLOW FILTER AFTER THEY CLAIMED IT WAS FIXED IT HAPPENED AGAIN I CONTACTED NISSAN AGAIN AND THEY FINALLY ADMITTED THAT THIS CAR HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION. THERE IS NO WAY A CAR UNDER 100K MILES SHOULD HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION I BOUGHT THIS CAR @ 26K IN 2016. NOW IS COSTING ME OVER 3,000.00 TO FIX MY CAR . NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON THESE CARS AND INSTEAD OF RECALLING THEM THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW THESE CARS TO BE SOLD OVER & OVER AGAIN AGAIN. I WANT A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION INTO THE ON GOING PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 NISSAN SENTRA'S. I HAVE LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS MAIN ROADS STOPPED AT LIGHTS HOLDING UP TRAFFIC IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS I HAD THIS CAR TOWED IN TOTAL OF 5 TIMES IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS.

AS I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SUDDEN JERKINESS AND ISSUES WITH RPM'S, ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AS WELL AS AN UNWILLINGNESS TO CHANGE GEARS. (THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC). AS I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE, NISSAN HAS ISSUED A RECALL / EXTENDED WARRANTY 7YEAR 100,000 MILE FOR NISSANS THAT HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION HOWEVER NOT ALL 2014 NISSAN SENTRA'S WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION WERE INCLUDED.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR WOULD START TO JERK AS I WAS DRIVING, I WENT AND GOT IT LOOKED AT AND THE AUTO ZONE GUY SAID IT WAS THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR IN THE ALTERNATOR SO I HAD THAT FIXED, THEN THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER ALLTHAT IT WAS STILL JERKING AND IT IS MY ALTERNATOR. I DROVE MY NISSAN OFF THE LOT WITH 298 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE IM AT 101K MILES EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SECURITY +PLUS CONTRACT AND THERE IS A STIPULATION WITH KENTCUKY. THERE SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AS TO WHY A 6 YEAR OLD CAR IS HAVING SO MANY ISSUES ALL OF A SUDDEN. IT LITERRALY STARTED A MONTH AGO AND IS DUE TO BE PAID OFF IN JULY. WHEN I PULL OFF FROM STATIONARY SITTING IT JERKS, ONCE I COAST TO A GOOD SPEED AROUND 50MPH AND UP THEN IT WONT JERK BUT HESITATES AND MY RPM GAUGE JUMPS UP AND DOWN.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
JUST BEFORE I HIT 1000 MILES, THE FRONT COLLISION SENSOR STARTED BEEPING AT RANDOM TIMES WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED OR IN MOTION AND ULTIMATELY, IT HAD TO BE REPLACED. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN A LOT ON THE 2018 MODEL SENTRAS. ALSO, THE GUARD IN THE INSIDE TRACK OF THE DRIVER DOOR CAME OFF TWICE AND I HAD TO FASTEN IT BACK ON. I DID BUY IT OFF THE SALES FLOOR SO A LOT MORE PEOPLE WERE IN AND OUT OF IT BUT I STILL DO NOT FEEL LIKE THAT SHOULD HAPPEN ON A BRAND NEW CAR. LAST, MY 2017 NISSAN NEVER HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BLUETOOTH BUT THIS ONE CONSTANTLY KICKS ME OFF OF CALLS BUT WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE UNTIL DEALERSHIP CATCHES IT IN THE ACT. OVERALL, I LOVE THE SAFETY, COMFORT, AND FEEL OF MY CAR, JUST WISH THE BLUETOOTH WOULD WORK RIGHT.

TRANSMISSION IS MAKING A WHIRRING NOISE ON ACCELERATION FROM A GREEN LIGHT AND IS JERKING SOMETIMES UPON ACCELERATION. THEN GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE IT HESITATES BEFORE IT HITS 60 MPH I BOUGHT THIS CAR WITH 45,000 MILES AND PAYMENT. I MADE A MISTAKE BECAUSE FORM OTHER COMPLAINTS THE CVT IS HAS A TON OF ISSUES AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

COMING TO A STOP IN A L TURN LANE, WITH FOOT DEFINITELY ONLY ON BRAKE, AT UNDER 3 MPH. JUST AS I STOPPED, BRAKE FADED, ENGINE RACED, AND CAR SURGED VIOLENTLY FORWARD, SIMULTANEOUSLY. I BARELY CONTROLLED THIS SURGE WITH EXTREME BRAKE PRESSURE. EVENT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS. IT DID NOT TRIP A TROUBLE CODE, OR RECUR. APPROXIMATELY 255,000 MILES ON CHASSIS. NO DAMAGE, BUT RISK OF IT VERY HIGH. MCGREGOR, TEXAS, TURNING L OFF OF US 84 EASTBOUND ONTO TX 317 NORTHBOUND. DRIVER IS RETIRED BUT VERY ACCOMPLISHED ENGINEER, WITH 3 ENGINEERING DEGREES, AND DECADES OF WIDE-RANGING EXPERIENCE. THIS HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH PUSHING THE WRONG PEDAL.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
ON JANUARY 17, 2019, OUR 2013 NISSAN SENTRA DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND PUT MY HUSBAND AT RISK FOR BEING HIT. MY HUSBAND WAS ON BASELINE ROAD IN PHOENIX, CLOSE TO I-10 FREEWAY. CAR DIED NEAR DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE BY RESTAURANT. TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID IT'S CVT TRANSMISSION. SO DID OUR REPAIR PERSON, INTERSTATE AUTO. THE CODE AT NISSAN ALSO SAID IT'S A FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION, WHICH THEY KNOW ABOUT. THERE IS EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 120,000 FOR SOME VEHICLES, BUT THEY CONVENIENTLY SAID OUR VIN IS NOT COVERED. WE ARE AT 119,000, SO THAT'S CONVENIENT FOR NISSAN. WE THEN WERE REFERRED TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY ALSO SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WE WERE THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE. WE BOUGHT IT FROM TEMPE AUTO NATION IN MAY OF 2014, BUT IT'S A 2013 PREOWNED CERTIFIED. THEY TOLD US THE WARRANTY WAS INCREASED TO 100,000 BECAUSE OF THAT, BUT THEY NEVER LET US KNOW. THEY ALSO SAID THERE IS A RECALL FROM 2016, BUT WE NEVER GOT ANYTHING. AGAIN, NISSAN SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WE WERE THE OWNERS UNTIL 1/21/19. THAT'S A LIE! WE'VE HAD THE CAR SERVICED. IT WAS BOUGHT FROM TEMPE AUTO NATION WITH 4400 MILES ON IT. THEY HAVE OUR INFO IN COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT NOW CAN CLAIM THEY DID NOT KNOW. WE WERE THE ONLY ONES THAT BROUGHT IT IN, NO ONE ELSE. SO NOW THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE BECAUSE OF FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION THAT PUT MY HUSBAND AND I AT SAFETY RISK EVERY TIME HE/WE DROVE IT. ESPECIALLY NOT NOTIFYING US ABOUT PASSENGER RECALL SINCE 2016. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHO WE NEED TO TALK TO NEXT. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! CAUGHT IN SEVERAL LIES! I'M ATTACHING DOCUMENT THAT THEY CLAIM THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF OR SEEN BEFORE - CLAIM THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS. ASKED WHERE I GOT MY INFO & I SHOWED THEM. ALSO, YOU MAY GOOGLE IT - ALL OVER THE PLACE.
