FIRST TIME WAS IN SAN MARCOS ON I-10 FREEWAY WHILE ON THE WAY TO WORK WHILE IN THE MIDDLE LANE THE RPM SHOT UP THEN BACK DOWN AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN REAL FAST TO ABOUT 20 TO 25 MPH AND WITH NO BREAK LIGHTS SHOWING ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED, LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF WITH OUT AN ACCIDENT, AND AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES STARTED AND DROVE NORMAL. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEK COMING HOME DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS AND AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. TOWED IT TO GUNN NISSAN IN SAN ANTONIO TX AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY DID NOTHING, SO THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $1100 TO FIX IT, SO I PAYED EVEN THO NISSAN SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS. 6 DAYS AFTER IT WAS SO CALLED FIXED AND AGAIN ON THE FREEWAY RPM SHOT UP THE CAR SLOWED TO 20 TO 25 PMH AND ALMOST REAR END BECAUSE NO BREAK LIGHTS CAME ON. RETURNED IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND NOW THEY SAY IT NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION $4000. MILEAGE THE FIRST ABOUT 82,000, AND THE LAST TIME 85,500 NISSAN NEW EXTENDED WARRANTY 7 YEARS OR 84,000 MILES AND IN CALIFORNIA 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES WHY ONLY CALIFORNIA. THE ISSUE WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS ARE VERY SERIOUS AND COULD HAVE COSTED MY STEPDAUGHTER HER LIVE. I PAYED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND 6 DAYS LATER THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE STATIONARY, VEHICLE WILL NOT START WHEN TRYING TO START VEHICLE WITH PUSH START THERE ARE ALSO NO BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. PERIODICALLY THE ABS LIGHT WILL TURN ON, WHILE DRIVING ON MULTIPLE TYPES OF ROADS, FOR NO REASON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF UNTIL CAR IS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. THIS BEGAN APPROXIMATELY 1 YEAR AGAIN IN 2019 AND HAS CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE AND WON'T START DAILY. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEREFORE WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. AT THE TIME THE ISSUE BEGAN MY CAR WAS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER CAR OWNERS, HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL ISSUE ALREADY???

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND STOPPING QUICKLY, THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING 10 MILES PER HOUR AT 1000 RPM, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ALL TURNED ON. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE WAS TO TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME WHILE RETURNING TO OUR HOME. AS I WAS GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPING FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO DO THIS WITH A HARD STOP AT 1000 RMP OR 10-20 MPH.

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY PREVIOUS OWNER, 89,000MILES. VEHICLE HAS 114,000MI NOW, 25,000MI APPROX ON CURRENT TRANSMISSION. WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE, IT WILL TAKE 1-2 SECONDS (OFTEN) FOR THE CAR TO BEGIN MOVING. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR AT RANDOM, UNRELATED TO OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE, OR ENGINE TEMPERATURE. WHILE BRAKING, ENGINE MIGHT "KICK UP" TO HIGHER RPMS AT RANDOM AS WELL. CVT TRANSMISSION IS VERY DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED ASAP. I HAVE NO DOCUMENTS TO PROVIDE AT THIS TIME AS IT WILL COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GET AN ASSESSMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION, LET ALONE A REPLACEMENT. ISSUES HAVE BEEN PRESENT BEGINNING AT THE TIME OF MY OWNERSHIP, OCT 2019 - PRESENT.

THE CAR ACCELERATES SLOWER. ON ECO MODE, THE CAR GETS STUCK ON A GEAR; SOMETIMES IT WILL GET STUCK ON THE SECOND OR THIRD GEAR. FOR EXAMPLE, TODAY IT REVVED UP TO 5000 RPM AS I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND I HAD TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT WAS STUCK ON GEAR 3.

FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, I'VE NOTICED A JERKINESS WITH MY VEHICLE. WHEN I ACCELERATE, IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS PULLING BACK TOWARD ME. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST MORE THAN $4,000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I'VE NOTICED MANY OWNERS WITH SIMILAR CONCERNS ON THIS WEBSITE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY. OWNER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR DEFECTS WITH THESE CARS WHEN THE DEALERS/MANUFACTURERS ARE RESPONSIBLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30MPH, I PUSHED MY BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW FOR MY NEXT TURN. THE PEDAL WAS SLIGHTLY INEFFECTIVE, MEANING THE PRESSURE IN THE PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND THE BRAKE DID NOT HALT MY CAR IN A SAFE TIMEFRAME. I HAD TO RELEASE AND PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN TO FEEL PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM, AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW JUST IN TIME TO MAKE MY NEXT TURN. THIS WAS DEFINITELY SCARY AS I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE BEFORE.

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TWICE BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL IT GOT WORSE. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I BROUGHT IT TO A TRANSMISSION EXPERT 5 DAYS LATER WHO TOOK PICTURES AS PROOF THAT IT WAS FAILING. THE NEXT DAY IS WHEN IT BROKE DOWN. NISSAN IS PRODUCING CARS WITH FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS AND THEN MAKING THEIR CUSTOMERS PAY FOR IT. THIS CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE IN DANGER. *TR

COLLISION ALARM SOUNDS, BRAKES ARE AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED CAR ALMOST STOPS WHEN THERE IS NOTHING CLOSE TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN APRIL 2020. IT HAS HAPPENED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, SOMETIMES IN AN URBAN AREA. THE DEALER TAKES IT ON A TEST DRIVE, AND PROCLAIMS "NO TROUBLE FOUND". THIS HAPPENED AT 45 MPH AND LESS THAN 30. TIME OF DAY DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER, NOR DOES WEATHER. LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 2 OR 3 JUNE. *TR

I JUST BOUGHT MY 2019 SENTRA 4/20/2020. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FROM LOS ANGELES TO SAN DIEGO & I FELT LIKE MY CAR WAS PULLING BACK, THE GAS WAS DRAINING SO FAST, THE RPM WAS GOING BACK AND FOURTH, THE MPH WASN'T ACCURATE WITH WHAT I FELT I WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING, IF I DRIVE OVER 40MPH THE CAR WILL WOBBLE, NOT ACCELERATING CORRECTLY, I GOT A FULL DIAGNOSTIC DONE NO CODES SHOWED UP, NISSAN SAID I NEEDED TO RESET THE SYSTEM, SO THEY RESET IT, THE ACCELERATION STILL WON'T PICK UP, AND I FEEL THE FRONT OF THE CAR DROPPED! NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THE DIAGNOSIS ISN'T SHOWING ANY CODES AND THEY ARE NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON I'M AFRAID I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IF IT'S SHAKING SIDE TO SIDE, I'M AFRAID IT WILL STOP ACCELERATING RANDOMLY, TRANSMISSION WILL GO OUT WHILE I'M ON THE HIGHWAY & NISSAN STILL CAN'T FIND THE REASON TO WHY THE CAR IS DOING THAT. THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS AND THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS EVEN PASSENGERS. MY NISSAN IS LOSING POWER, NOT ACCELERATING CORRECTLY, I'M LOSING GAS FAST, AND NISSAN CAN'T FIND ANY CODE OR ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR !
