SUSPENSION
TAKATA RECALL. THE DRIVERS SIDE AXEL BOOT STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AT ONLY 25,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE WHOLE AXEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS NOT BEEN FROM ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE VEHICLE, JUST NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WEAR AND TEAR. THIS COMPONENT SHOULD NOT HAVE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AT ONLY 25,000 MILES. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO BRAKE, AND NOW IT DOES IT WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO STOP AND WHEN YOU TAKE OFF AGAIN. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 39,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE IT IS STILL DRIVEABLE, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD'VE WORN OUT ALREADY, AND THE SHOP IS TELLING ME THAT IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $1400 TO REPAIR.

MY CAR WOULD JERK WHEN GOING INTO SECOND GEAR. IT WAS SLIGHT AT FIRST. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF I WAS STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP OR SLOWING TO TURN THEN ACCELERATING. LATER ON IT BEGAN THE SHAKING LATER ACCOMPANIED BY A WHINE. THIS BEGAN AROUND 65K MILES. THERE WAS NO MENTION OF ANY PROBLEMS CVT ISSUES WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE RPMS WOULD JUMP UP OR DROP DOWN WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NOW ITS IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT BADLY BECAUSE IF I GOT OFF HIGHWAY AND HAD NO PEDAL WHEN I PRESSED ACCELERATOR TAKING IT IN TO THE NISSAN DEALER

I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA THE TRANSMISSION IS SKIPPING YEARS AND JERKING WHEN I WAS ON THE FREEWAY ARE YOU THEN PUT IT IN CRUISE CONTROL TO SEE IF IT WOULD STOP AND IT WOULDN'T THEN WHEN I WAS IN THE CITY IT WAS STILL JERKING AND SKIPPING AS WELL WHEN THIS STARTING HAPPENING I TOOK THE TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC THEN SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST. THE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST THEN STATED HE HAS FOUR OTHER NISSAN IS THE SAME MODEL IN HIS SHOP WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP EVEN STATED THEY ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THESE VEHICLES BUT THE ONLY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS ON THE 2010 AND WILL NOT FIX MY VEHICLE.

VEHICLE STALLED WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE. 1 MILE BEFORE STALLING IT STARTED TO JUDDER WHEN I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND JERK ME FORWARD WHEN I WOULD EXCELERATE FROM A STOP. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE AFTER IT STALLED, SHIFTED TO PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE IT ACCELERATED, SLOWER THAN USUAL AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE JUDDERING PROBLEM 7 DAYS AGO AND THEY REPLACED THE CVT CONTROL VALVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED MY 2005 NISSAN SENTRA FROM A PRIVATE SELLER IN 2007 WITH THE TOTAL MILEAGE OF 9,100. AFTER SIX MONTHS OF DRIVING THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHOM I HAVE USED FOR ALL MY AUTOMOBILES. I WAS TOLD THE SEAL ON THE VAPOR HOSE WAS LOOSE AND HE COULD TIGHTEN IT, BUT IT WOULD ONLY BE A TEMPORARY FIX. THE COST TO REPAIR THE SEAL WAS OUT OF MY PRICE RANGE. SINCE 2007 THE SERVICE LIGHT ON MY DASH WOULD LIGHT UP INTERMITTENTLY WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO SWITCH OFF BEFORE I COULD GO FOR AN INSPECTION STICKER. A COUPLE OF TIMES THE INSPECTORS AT THE STATION TOLD ME OF THE VAPOR LEAK AND WERE NICE ENOUGH TO TIGHTEN THE SEAL TO THE VAPOR HOSE SO THE CAR COULD PASS INSPECTION. TO DATE THE SEAL ON THE VAPOR HOSE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A FIRE HAZARD. IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT THE VIN ON THIS SPECIFIC 2005 NISSAN SENTRA DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN #05V269000 FOR THE FUEL TANK VAPOR HOSE. WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS WHY THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. AND IT IS A PROBLEM. STARTED 01/07/2010

WE BOUGHT A 2016 NISSAN SENTRA IN MARCH OF 2018. I TOOK IT IN COMPLAINING OF A WHINING NOISE A FEW MONTHS AFTER HAVING IT AND WAS TOLD BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE OR FEEL ANYTHING THERE IS NOTHING TO BE DONE. NOW IN NOVEMBER THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED. IT PUNCHES WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF, FEELS LIKE IT IS LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, DIFFICULT ACCELERATING, JERKS WHILE DRIVING, SHIFTS ON ITS OWN FROM ABOUT 1.5 RPM UP TO 3 WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND NISSAN SAID IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE I AM OVER 60,000 MILES (MY MILEAGE IS AT ABOUT 64,000 MILES). IT'S GOING TO COST $4500 TO REPLACE IT ACCORDING TO NISSAN. THE DOOR HANDLE COMES OFF AND IT HAS TO BE PUSHED BACK IN, THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WHISTLE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY.

BOUGHT 2013 NISSAN SENTRA USED AT 25,000 MILES. NO ISSUES OR PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION UNTIL AROUND 89,000 WHEN CAR BEGAN TO JERK WHILE TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS AND THEN PROGRESSED TO SHUDDERING, JERKING, ETC. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC, VERIFIED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS IN HORRIBLE SHAPE AND GOING OUT. WENT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THEY ADVISED THAT WARRANTY WAS OUT AND THAT NISSAN WAS DOING NOTHING TO ASSIST WITH THIS. SAID THEY WOULD BE GLAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION FOR $4,000. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THIS RECALL. THESE VEHICLES ARE DANGEROUS AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS AND CHOOSES TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND THEN SUDDENLY AS I TURNED OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET IT WOULD NOT MOVE! I HAD TO PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR JUST TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I HAVE ONLY HAD CAR FOR TWO YEARS. NISSAN KNOWS THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE DEFECTIVE AND ARE STILL PUTTING CONSUMERS AT RISK. AT MINIMUM THEY SHOULD BE OFFERING OPTION TO PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CHAPMAN NISSAN (6723 ESSINGTON AVE, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19153, (215) 492-1200), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES TO STOP AND I HAD TO PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO ACTIVATE THE BREAKS. THIS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON MY WAY HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY EVENTUALLY DIAGNOSED THE CAR WITH A CRACKED MASTER CYLINDER. THE CAR IS ROUGHLY 5 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR PROBLEM THAT IT HAS HAD WITHIN THE MONTH - 1ST THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN 2ND THE BREAKS. THESE ARE 2 OF THE 3 MOST FREQUENTLY REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL. THE CAR IS UNDER 60K MILES. ACCORDING TO MOST SOURCES, THE MASTER CYLINDER IS SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. NISSAN REPORTS THAT NO RECALL/CUSTOMER EDUCATION HAS BEEN DONE FOR EITHER OF THOSE THINGS FOR THAT MAKE/MODEL. IT SEEMS IRRESPONSIBLE OF THEM.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60 TO 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTS TO LOSE POWER/GAIN POWER AND THE RPM GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY GOING UP AND DOWN, THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM (DRIVETIME) I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE 2 OUT OF 3 SHOPS SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG SO I THEN GOT A VIDEO OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND I SENT IT IN TO THEM LIKE THEY ASKED AND WAITED ANOTHER WEEK JUST FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THE NEXT THING TO DO IS WHAT I TOLD THEM IN THE BEGGING ' CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID' AND THAT THEY COULD REVIEW IT ONCE I SEND IN AN INVOICE. I'VE PAID $2,100 ON THIS CAR IN THE MONTH I HAVE HAD IT DUE TO PROBLEMS AND THE REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR ANYTHING UNLESS IT'S IN A SHOP GETTING MORE THEN 8 HOURS OF PHYSICAL LABOR. SO MY CAR BEING IN AND OUT OF 3 SHOPS IN A WEEK DOESN'T COUNT FOR ANYTHING.

TRANSMISSION IS NOT CHANGING THE GEARS CORRECTLY . WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAYS AND PULLING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE DRIVES OFF AS IF IT IS PULLING A LOAD AND THEN WHEN IT SHOULD BE CHANGING IN THE 2ND OR 3RD GEAR IT STARTS TO SLIP OUT OF GEAR AS IF IT IS GOING IN NEUTRAL AND THEN YOU FEEL ROUGHNESS IN THE CHANGING OF GEARS.

I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN SENTRA THAT HAS CVT TRANSMISSION THAT IS BREAKING DOWN AFTER THE CAR IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. CAR IS HAVING TROUBLE SHIFTING, ACCELERATING, AND HESITATE AND LOSES POWER WHEN DRIVING ON BOTH A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN FROM PREVIOUS MODELS AND THAT GO FROM 2003 TO 2010 MODELS WHERE THEY EXTENDED THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY. I FOUND THIS OUT THROUGH RESEARCH AND SEE THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR LATE MODEL CARS LIKE MINE. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT FAIL LIKE THIS ON A 2 YEAR OLD CAR AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEAR THE COST OF REPLACING IT AT $5,000.
