OUR SENTRA HAS A CVT. IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 7,500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ON THREE (3) OCCASIONS, THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO UPSHIFT AS WE MOVED AWAY FROM A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. AT 30 MPH OR LESS, THE TACH IS AT 4,000 RPM. WE HAVE TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT THE TRANS SELECTION LEVER IN PARK AND THEN RESTART OUR JOURNEY. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE NISSAN DEALER WHO TOLD US THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM......NO COMPUTER ERROR OR MALFUNCTION. WE CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND WERE TOLD THE SAME THING. THE TRANSMISSION OF THE COMPUTER CONTROLLING IT HAS A PROBLEM. DATES OF PROBLEMS: 3/20/2016; 5/20/2016; 5/25/2016

AFTER WARMING UP AND DRIVING FOR A BIT, MY CAR DIES AT RANDOM TIMES. I AM ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT AND GO. USUALLY IT DIES WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT BUT IT HAS DIED WHILE SITTING IN REVERSE IN A PARKING SPOT WAITING TO BE ABLE TO PULL OUT. THIS STARTED A MONTH OR SO AGO AND HAS HAPPENED RANDOMLY SINCE.

ENGINE
ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR AT LEAST 2YRS OR LONGER. THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING HOT. I'VE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT, WATER PUMP, RADIATOR, THROTTLE BODY, ETC. I'VE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. NISSAN NEEDS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS, AND CORRECT THIS MADNESS. THEN WANT TO SAY BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE A WARRANTY NOTHING COULD BE DONE. TOO MANY PEOPLE HAS REPORTED THIS SIMILAR ISSUE TO NOW TAKE ACTION AND CLASSIFY THIS AS A RECALL TO THEIR EXPENSE. THE CONSUMER HAS SPENT ENOUGH MONEY TO TRY AND CORRECT THIS HEADACHE, AND STILL NOT HAVE THE MATTER CORRECTED. MY VEHICLE STILL RUNS HOT, AND IT'S TERRIFYING TO WATCH THAT NEEDLE MOVE CONSTANTLY IN THE HOT AREA OF THE GAUGE AS I DRIVE THE HIGHWAY, AND STREETS EVERYDAY.
