ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR MAY OCCASIONALLY LOSE POWER AND STALL OUT. RATE OF SPEED DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT WHETHER THE CAR STALLS. I HAVE TO THROW THE CAR IN PARK REAL FAST AND RE-CRANK IT AND IT TYPICALLY STARTS BACK UP. IF THE CAR WERE TO STALL OUT WHILE MAKING A TURN OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT IS CAUSING THIS, BUT I DID SEE A RECALL ONLINE THAT STATED THE BATTERY TERMINAL MIGHT BE THE CAUSE OF THE LOSS OF ELECTRICAL OPERATION.

THIS 2013 NISSAN SENTRA AND ITS CVT HAVE BEEN GARBAGE FROM THE GET-GO. THE TRANSMISSION DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. JUST DIED ON THE ROAD, WE ARE SO LUCKY THERE WASN'T AN ACCIDENT. NISSAN WAS AWARE OF THE SENTRA TRANSMISSION DEFECT, AND THAT THE VEHICLES TRANSMISSIONS WOULD REQUIRE FREQUENT REPAIR. DESPITE THIS AWARENESS, NISSAN CONTINUED TO INSTALL THE ALLEGEDLY DEFECTIVE CVT. LOTS OF COMPLAINS WERE MADE ABOUT THIS ISSUES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE FUSE FOR THE LOW BEAM 15 AMP THE DRIVER SIDE STARTED TO BLOW REPLACED ONE TIME, LIGHT WOULD WORK AFTER APPROX 2 DAYS BLEW UP AGAIN, REPLACED AND STARTED TO BURN A WIRE FROM THE WIRES UNDER THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD. I CANNOT PIN POINT WHERE THE WIRE IS BURNING AND NOW THE LIGHT IS VERY DIM AND HIGH BEAM IS NOT WORKING EITHER, BEFORE ONLY THE LOW BEAM WAS THE PROBLEM AND I'M AFRAID IT WILL CATCH FIRE. THE CAR DID NOT GET WET AS THE CAR WAS PARKED FOR ABOUT THREE WEEKS AFTER THE FIRST FUSE REPLACEMENT. THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING AS I WAS REPLACING THE FUSE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
WHEN OPENING THE DOOR THE HANDLE NO LONGER FUNCTIONED. UPON ANALYSIS OF THE PROBLEM, A PLASTIC PIECE THAT HAD ALLOWED THE SPRING TO ACTIVATE HAD BROKEN AND THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO OPEN VIA THE HANDLE FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I WAS HOWEVER ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE CAR, ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR. AFTER A HARSH WINTER AND THE POWER WINDOWN SWTICH BEING REPLACED AS WELL AS THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR I WAS ABLE TO USE MY DOOR PROPERLY AGAIN. THE WORSE THING IS THAT NOT EVEN 3 MONTHS LATER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN AGAIN, DEALT WITH IT FOR A WHILE, BUT WINTER HAS NOW COME AGAIN AND I STILL CAN NOT OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. I HAVE RIGGED A WIRE LOOP AROUND THE PULLEY SYSTEM AND CREATED A WAY TO OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, BUT I HAD READ MULTIPLE BLOGS THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SENTRA. I FIND THIS TO BE CONCERNING AND FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THESE PARTS AND OFFER LIFETIME REPLACEMENT OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY DOOR WAS MY ONLY EXIT, WOULD NISSAN BE PAYING MY FAMILY FOR MY DEATH?

I GOTTEN THIS VEHICLE FROM CARMAX AT 53000 MILES MAY OF 2018. I TOOK IT BACK 2 DAYS LATER WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING THEY TOLD ME OH ITS FINE. I EVEN HAD A RENTAL FOR A DAY. NOW ITS JANUARY 2019 AND AT 74000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND JOLTING SOMETIMES NOT GIVING POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR COMES UP AS NOT A LEMON CAR BUT I WENT TO A MECHANIC NEAR ME HE TOLD ME HE USE TO WORK FOR NISSAN AND BY EVEN TESTING MY CAR MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND IT WILL START AGAIN IN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS AFTER REPAIR. MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING NOR WILL I PAY FOR A VEHICLE THAT WONT GET MY BILLS PAID.

CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING: MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA IS EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH ITS CVT TRANSMISSION. MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH MY CVT COULD HAVE HARMED ME AND THE OTHER PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. MY CAR REFUSED TO ACCELERATE WHILE MAKING A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION WHILE ANOTHER VEHICLE WAS HEADING IN THE SAME DIRECTION. LUCKILY THE DRIVER NOTICED AND SLOWED DOWN PREVENTING A COLLISION. IT TOOK 30 SECONDS FOR MY VEHICLE TO PICK UP SPEED AFTERWARDS. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ONCE BEFORE WHILE PREPARING TO TURN AT A STOP SIGN AT ANOTHER INTERSECTION.
