POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 80MPH THE CAR'S RPM'S WILL SPIKE AND THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT WORK. THE CAR JUST TAKES OVER DRIVING ITSELF. THIS OCCURS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THE CAR WILL DRIVE NORMALLY AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND THEY SAY IT'S THE CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. BUT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT DAMAGED AND THERE'S NO DIAGNOSTIC CODE SO NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED A USED 2016 NISSAN SENTRA SV IN 2019 AT 48K MILES - IT IS CURRENTLY AT 58K MILES, NEARLY TO THE POWERTRAIN EXPIRATION AT 60K MILES. AFTER 4 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP I BEGAN EXPERIENCING SEVERE CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES - I WOULD BE DRIVING UP THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY MY TRANSMISSION WOULD LOSE COMPLETE POWER CAUSING NEAR-ACCIDENT CONDITIONS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAR WOULD BE IN MOTION, SOMETIMES IN CRUISE CONTROL WHILE MOVING FORWARD. THE CAR JOLTS BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY. WHEN IT LOSES POWER IT CANNOT ACCELERATE AND TYPICALLY GETS STUCK AT 45 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 15-20 TIMES IN THE DURATION OF MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE SO FAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE SERVICE CENTER SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, ONLY TO HAVE THEM STATE THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THEIR COMPUTERS CANNOT SOURCE A CODE. I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE THIS ISSUE ON VIDEO TO HELP PROVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING. I SENT THE VIDEO TO A TECHNICIAN WHO THEN CONFIRMED "YES, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION" ONLY TO HAVE THEM STATE AT THE END OF ANOTHER DAY-LONG VISIT TO THE SERVICE CENTER THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE MINUTE MY CAR IS DRIVING FINE THEN WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP AND PRESS ON THE GAS MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. THE RPM WILL ACCELERATE BUT MY SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT GO UP. I HAVE EVEN PRESSED THE GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT STILL WON'T GET UP IN SPEED. MY CAR WILL ALSO ACT LIKE IT'S TRYING TO DYE WHEN SITTING AT AT LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT'S ALSO STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THE HAS HAPPENED IN TOWN, ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO GET ON A HIGHWAY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR AND TRYING TO MERGE INTO ON COME TRAFFIC WITH HUGE SEMI'S. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL MY THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED. WELL OBVIOUSLY REPROGRAMMING IT DOESN'T WORK. I'M FED UP WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PAINT ON THE ROOF, HOOD, AND BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT QUARTER PANELS OF THE VEHICLE IS STARTING TO COME OFF TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE ROOF NEAREST TO THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD, THE INSIDE OF THE QUARTER PANELS CLOSETS TO THE TRUNK LID, AND THE FRONT TOP PART OF THE HOOD. QM1 I THINK IS THE PAINT CODE. IT'S A 3-STAGE WHITE. I DON'T BELIEVE THE PAINT IS SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE PEELING OFF OF A 2016 VEHICLE. I HAVE MORE PHOTOS IF NECESSARY.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2016 NISSAN SENTRA HAS ALWAYS SKIPPED SOME, ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, BUT THE OTHER DAY, WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS, IT WOULDN'T GO. THIS WAS AS I WAS RIDING DOWN THE ROAD. AT TIMES, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD ACCELERATE SOME, BUT THEN THE CAR WOULD START JERKING. TO MAKE IT HOME, I HAD TO ACCELERATE, COAST, TRY THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN, AND COAST SOME MORE. NO ENGINE, OR WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME UP ON THE DASH.

CAR FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE STARTS AND STOPS CONTINUOUSLY AND VERY FAST WHEN ON HIGHWAY GOING 60-75 MPH, AND HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON. THE SPEEDOMETER BOUNCES AROUND LIKE CRAZY FROM ZERO TO BOUNCING PASS MY SPEED I'M DRIVING AT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR TO CURRENTLY. I PULL OVER AND LET IT REST, I DIDN'T SEE COMPLAINTS IN PAST ABOUT THIS FROM OTHERS UNTIL NOW, SO I THOUGHT I NOW MUST REPORT AS WELL. I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WAS ENGINE, SPEEDOMETER, FUEL RELATED, GAS PEDAL OR WHAT, BUT NOW REALIZING IT'S ENGINE ISSUES DUE TO A RECALL NOTICE I GOT IN THE MAIL AND A CIVIL LAWSUIT ACTION IS CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS.

POWER TRAIN
WHEN ON THE FREEWAY, ONCE VEHICLE HAS REACHED 50-70 MPH, THE RPMS JUMP UP AND DOWN. SUPER DANGEROUS AS I AM THEN UNABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE AND HAVE TO CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC TO A SHOULDER. ALSO ON TAKE OFF AND STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS, CAR SHUDDERS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL. I KNOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT THERE AS MANY DRIVERS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $5 IN TRANSMISSION REPAIR ON A CAR THAT HAVE 60K MILES JUST TO WAIT FOR REIMBURSEMENT. NISSAN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND HANDLE THIS AS A RECALL.
