ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS UPON ENTERING THE CAR, PRESSING ON THE BRAKES, AND PUSHING THE START BUTTON, THE CAR WILL NOT START. I HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES, SOMETIMES AS LONG AS AN HOUR AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTS. IT STARTS AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED LATE AT NIGHT, SINCE I TRAVEL AND WORK MULTIPLE DIFFERENT SHIFTS AS A TRAVEL NURSE. IT'S EXTREMELY SCARY TO LEAVE WORK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, GET TO THE DARK PARKING LOT, AND YOUR CAR NOT START.

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA, WHICH I HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. A YEAR OR TWO AGO, IT LOCKED UP AND LEFT ME STRANDED. WHEN I TOWED IT IN, AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE SHIFTER. THEY ALSO DID AN "ADJUSTMENT" TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DRIVE POORLY. IT EITHER WOULD HAVE A LAG WHEN ACCELERATING, OR WOULD RAPIDLY ACCELERATE. I CALLED TO COMPLAIN AFTER THE ADJUSTMENT. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS AND ADJUSTMENT NISSAN REQUIRED IN ORDER KEEP THE TRANSMISSION FROM GOING OUT. SO I PUT UP WITH IT. UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT ABLE TO USE THE CAR TO TEACH MY KIDS TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION ADJUSTMENT. ONCE IT ACCELERATED SO INSTANTLY THAT MY DAUGHTER ALMOST RAN THROUGH THE GARAGE. I TALKED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ADJUSTMENT WAS NEEDED AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. NOW GUESS WHAT, THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. IT ONLY HAS AROUND A 105000 MILES. IT STARTS JERKING AND STAYS STUCK IN A LOW GREAR. ALMSOT DIED ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED PROPERLY AND METICULOUSLY. I HAVE PUT UP WITH THE TRANS ADJUSTMENT. NOW THE DEALER (RIKART NISSAN) WANTS 4200.00 TO FIX IT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE NOTICED THERE ARE TONS OF CLASS ACTION SUITS, ETC. THEY SAY THEY WILL NOT REPAIR OR REBUILD IT. THEY SAY IT IS SUCH A TERRIBLE TRANSMISSION THEY WILL ONLY REPLACE THE WHOLE THING.

AFTER 37,122 MILES THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2018 NISSAN SENTRA WENT BAD ON ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO SAID THE FUEL PUMP AND CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I READ THAT THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS MADE ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FOR THESE CARS, AND THERE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A RECALL.

THE CVT IN THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I TRIED TO GO 75 AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GET UP TO SUCH SPEED LEADING ME TO DRIVE UNDER 60 UNTIL I MADE IT TO THE NEAREST EXIT. WHEN STOP MY CAR SMELT AS IF IT WAS A BURNING SMELL COMING THROUGH MY VENTS AND UNDER MY HOOD. I THEN STOPPED SO MY CAR COULD COOL FOR ABOUT A HR THEN PROCEED DRIVING HOME DURING 40 IN THE SLOW LANE BACK HOME. MY VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED AND NISSAN IS SAYING DUE TO MY CAR NOT BEING LISTED BY VIN THAT MY CAR ISN'T APART OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION LAWSUIT EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN THAT CATEGORY. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY MAIL PHONE NOR EMAIL ABOUT THE ISSUE REGARDING THE ISSUES AND WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN IF THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR.

BRAND NEW NISSAN WITH LESS THAN 11K MILES AND BEEN HAVING NONSTOP ISSUES WITH STARTING THE CAR. THERE'S BEEN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHERE THE BRAKE BECOMES VERY STIFF AND HARD EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAVEN'T SAT FOR LONG. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CALLED SEVERAL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND STILL HAVE NO SOLUTION TO FIX IT. I'VE SEEN AND READ HUNDREDS OF FORUMS ONLINE AND DECIDED TO CHANGE MY BRAKE SWITCH AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT MY VEHICLE WAS STOPED, BUT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE, EVEN AFTER STEPPING ON THE GAS. IT BEGAN MOVING AFTER A COUPLE TRIES OF TURNING IT ON AND OFF, BUT WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD SLOW DOWN OUT OF NO WHERE. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, DUE TO CARS BEING BEHIND ME, AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NOT ALOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO PUT IN THE CLAIM, BUT WHILE DOING MY RESEARCH THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS. THE VEHICLE WOULD GET MAINTENANCED WHEN NEEDED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS, BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN FAULTY TRANSMISSION FOR OTHER CVT NISSANS.
