POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA WAS STARTING TO SLIP AS I WAS DRIVING, MIND YOU MY CAR HAS ONLY 113 THOUSAND PLUS MILES ON IT. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AFTER PAYING 140 DOLLARS TO HAVE HAVE THE CODE READ, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, 31036-9AM2A. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND GAVE ME THE COSTUMER SERVICE NUMBER TO CALL, WITH A $3600 COST ESTIMATE. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT DUE TO THE MILEAGE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. AFTER HEARING THIS I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND I FOUND THAT THIS IS INDEED A COMMON ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THEY HAVE EXTENDED SOME WARRANTIES TO 120 THOUSAND MILES OR 5 YEARS HOWEVER I WAS TOLD MY CAR MILEAGE EXCLUDES ME FROM THIS WARRANTY. WHAT YEARS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP.

POWER TRAIN
NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS DURABILITY IS UNDER A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT, AND THEIR RESPONSE TO EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO COVER THE ISSUES IS INSUFFICIENT AND IN DISREGARD OF THE CURRENT PANDEMIC. NISSAN DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHY 7 YEARS OR 84000 MILES WERE CHOSEN AS THE CUTLINE TO PROVIDE COVERAGE. IF 7 YEARS IS THE DECIDED COVERAGE, WHICH IS UNSATISFACTORY FOR TRANSMISSIONS, THE CORRESPONDING MILEAGE SHOULD BE 94500, NOT 84000 BASED ON "THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION STATES THE AVERAGE PERSON DRIVES AROUND 13,500 MILES EVERY YEAR.". NISSAN MUST EXPLAIN THIS COVERAGE LIMITS DECISION AND EXTEND THE WARRANTY PERIOD AMID THE PANDEMIC TO AVOID NEGLIGENCE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2018 NISSAN SENTRA IS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE (AEB) AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM. I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 10 MONTHS AND WHILE IM DRIVING, I GET A WARNING LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE AEB HAS MALFUNCTIONED, FOLLOWED BY A CONSTANT BEEPING NOISE THAT DOESNT GO AWAY UNLESS I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE LOUD BEEP WILL KEEP GOING FOR AS LONG AS IM DRIVING, AND THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES BRAKES ON ITS OWN, WHICH IS SCARY, AND DANGEROUS. EVERYDAY THAT I DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHT COMES ON AUTOMATICALLY WHILE IM DRIVING, FOLLOWED BY THE ANNOYING BEEP, THERES NOT ONE DAY IT DOESN'T HAPPEN, AS FAR AS THE BRAKING GOES, THAT HAPPENS DEPENDING ON THE POSITION OF THE VEHICLE AND OTHER VEHICLES. SOMETIMES OBJECTS WILL MAKE MY VEHICLE BRAKE, OR SOMETIMES IT'LL BRAKE FOR NO REASON, JUST A SLIGHT BRAKE.
