CAR HAS 103000 MILES. BOUGHT USED AND AFTER HAD NISSAN SERVICE CAMPAIGNS COMPLETED AND STATING CAR IN GOOD SHAPE. THEN CAR BEGAN HIGH REVVVING BEFORE SHIFTING, OCCASIONAL SHUDDER WHEN SHIFTING TO DRIVE OR REVERSE, THEN ENTERS LOW MODE WITH NO ACCELERATION. TOOK TO NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION. CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND FILED A COMPLAINT. THEY DENIED THE CLAIM ONLY STATING CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, NO OFFER TO AT LEAST SHARE THE COST. THIS CLEARLY SHOULD BE A FULL TRANSMISSION RECALL. DO NOT BUY A CAR WITH A CVT!

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
HI I HAVE 3 ISSUES WITH MY CAR, IT'S A 2014 NISSAN CENTRA, THE FIRST ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION IT'S REALLY BAD I HAVE ALREADY TOO IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AN SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE BUT IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING, WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT WANTS TO HESITATE TAKING OFF, IT SPITTING AND JERKS AND THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS, I HAVE A AUTOMATIC BUT IT ACTS LIKE A STRAIGHT SHIFT SO WHEN IT HESITATES I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS NOR TO GET IT TO GO BUT IF YOU MASH THE GAS TO HARD IT WILL TAKE OFF FAST AFTER IT SPITS, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, I HAVE ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF A FEW VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE TRIED TO PULL OUT FROM A SIDE ROAD AND A CAR WOULD BE COMING AN I KNOW I HAVE TIME TO GET OUT BUT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WANTS TO ACT CRAZY AN IT STARTS HESITATING TO GO, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES. THAT'S NOT ALL MY OTHER ISSUE IS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS WENT OUT IN THE LAST YEAR, I WENT AND HAD IT SERVICED AN THEY SAID IT WAS THE AIR COMPRESSOR, I TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS AND THE GUY THAT LOOKED AT IT HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAS HAD 47 NISSAN CENTRAS IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS TO BE SERVICED FOR THE SAME REASONS, WELL ONE DAY THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS FINE BUT THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO TURN IT ON AND IT IS BLOWING NOTHING BUT HOT AIR SO HE CHECKED IT AND HE SAID THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AGAIN!! THE OTHER ISSUE IS YESTERDAY I WENT TO GET DINNER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AND MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 40,000 MILES ON IT YET, I REALLY HOPE WRITING TO YOU ABOUT THESE THINGS GOING WRONG WILL OPEN THE NISSAN COMPANY'S EYES BEFORE SOMEONE ACTUALLY GET KILLED DRIVING ONE OF THEIR CARS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY TO READ THIS. AND I HOPE YOU CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT, ALL THESE PROBLEMS IN 3 WEEKS.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, STEERING
DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR LOST 90% OF POWER AND COULD ONLY GO ABOUT 25MPH. THERE WAS NO WARNING. CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY STEERING BECOMES HARDER. YOU TRY TO PUNCH DOWN ON THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENS. ALSO WAS FORCED TO TAKE CITY STREETS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GO A SAFE SPEED TO STAY ON FREEWAY/HIGHWAY.

POWER TRAIN
2016 NISSAN SENTRA DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY, I WILL HAVE THE RPM JUMP FROM 2 TO 4.5 WHEN DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 73MPH, I LOSE POWER AND DROP TO 55-60MPH. I DEPRESS THE GAS TO BRING IT BACK UP TO SPEED AND THE CAR WILL JERK AND SHAKE BEFORE I AM ABLE TO GAIN A SAFE SPEED AGAIN. THERE IS TIMES WHEN I HAVE TO PULL OVER, REST FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTART MY CAR TO GET TO MY DESTINATION. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE, MY CVT TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AND COULD STOP AT ANY MOMENT, I NEED TO REPLACE IT FOR $4,400. NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE CVT, THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD. I BOUGHT IT AS MY MOST RELIABLE VEHICLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAVE HAD TO TAKE IN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES BECAUSE THE AEB SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON. THEY HAVE REPLACED IT ALL THREE TIMES AND I BRING IT HOME AND ONCE I START DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE SENSOR COMES ON AGAIN. AS I'M DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN EVEN THOUGH I'M PRESSING ON THE GAS. I HAVE TO LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THEN PRESS THE GAS PEDAL HARD TO KICK IT BACK INTO RUNNING CORRECTLY. I HAVE A 2018 NISSAN SENTRA AND IT HAS 30,000 MILES. THE WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 36,000 MILES AND I'M AFRAID THAT I WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT IN AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS IF THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG. I'VE OWNED SENTRAS BEFORE AND NEVER HAD THIS MUCH PROBLEM!
