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.

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

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.

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.

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.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY SUNROOF EXPLODED RANDOMLY AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AT ABOUT 7:30 AM ON 10/23/2018. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55 MPH. I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD BOOM ABOVE MY HEAD. I PULLED OVER IN SHOCK THINKING THAT A BOMB HAD GONE OFF NEAR ME. I WAS CONFUSED AND ALARMED TO FIND THAT MY SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING HITTING MY CAR.

THE CAR WILL SWITCH GEARS WHEN I'M DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES - THE LAST TIME WAS THIS WEEKEND WHEN I WAS TRAVELING. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, UP A MOUNTAIN. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING AS I WAS GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN. THE GEAR SHIFT CAUSED THE CAR TO DRAMATICALLY SLOW DOWN AND ALMOST CAUSED A MULTI-CAR PILEUP BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC.
