FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, POWER TRAIN
I drive a 2018 Nissan Sentra SV The vehicle began having problems with the break/ driving assistance feature. The light is continuously turning on and that feature hardly ever works, making me feel unsafe and at risk of my breaks or something else malfunctioning. To make matters worse, my transmission stopped working, causing me to nearly crash/ get into countless car accidents. This didn’t only add unnecessary stress to my life but made me late to my office job and is now costing me thousands of dollars to fix ! The whole point of buying a new or relatively new car is to avoid these type of issues and this is simply unacceptable! I have spoken to many Nissan owners and more than half (about 8/10) have reported having or know someone who had transmission issues, making me believe this is a huge Nissan issue. My transmission completely gave up on me and I know that this is just not right. I work at a law office that deals with accidents / personal injury and know enough to say this ain’t right. I demand to be compensated for such horrible and faulty vehicle that has cost me time, money, and unnecessary stress.

POWER TRAIN
Nissian has a known issue with CVT transmissions. I've had my vechile for less then a year an I'm already being told I need a new transmission it's unacceptable. The issues my CVT has caused is extremely unsafe an dangerous to myself an my family an other drivers. My nissian would fail to accelerate almost causing me to be sideswiped on multiple!!! Occasions , these vehicles had to swerve around me because my vechile would simply not go. There's been too many close calls regarding my vechiles an the dangerous situations it's out myself an other drivers on the road in. Numerous occasions has it failed to accelerate properly , numerous occasions the vechile wasn't switching gears properly causing late reactions in the vechile an a.increased risk for accidents . Numerous occasions has my vechile decide to accelerate when I wasnt pressing the gas for it to do so , causing me to break or break hard at times I shouldn't of . Numerous occasions has my vechile literally decide it wasn't going to drive forward anymore an I would have to get out of traffic on highway an turn the vechile off an turn it back on for it to act properly.. this vechile has caused to many potential accidents .. I would hate for someone to actually get hurt for nissian to actually care about their customers. Nissian stated they basically didn't care an I would have to pay out if pocket for expenses regardless of how new or how low the milage on my vechile was..
