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.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM A USED DEALERSHIP. I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AS THE NISSAN VEHICLES FROM 2010-2012. MY TRANSMISSION FEELS AS IF IT IS SLIPPING, JERKING, SHUDDERING AND DOES NOT GAIN ACCELERATION SMOOTHLY. IF I ACCELERATE AT ALL, MY TRANSMISSION WILL JERK. IF I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE, IT WILL STALL AND FEELS AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING ANY GAS AND THE TRANSMISSION JERKS. IF I AM ON A STREET THAT IS NOT BUSY DRIVING UNDER 40 IF MY RPM GETS OVER 1, IT WILL JERK AND FEEL AS IF IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS OF 40, IF THE RPM INCREASES AT ALL, MY VEHICLE JERKS AND FEELS AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. I TOOK MY CAR TO FIRESTONE ON 1/10/20 AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT IS INDEED THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAD 0 CODES APPEAR. I HAVE THE DOCUMENT FROM FIRESTONE THAT REFLECTS THAT I HAVE NO OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS ADVISED BY FIRESTONE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN 1/10/20 THE SAME DAY AND WAS TOLD THE EXACT SAME THING, HOWEVER THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THE YEAR OF MY VEHICLE, BUT I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE PREVIOUS YEAR MANUFACTURED VEHICLES. I ALSO HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS AS WELL. THEY RAN A FULL DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FOUND 0 CODES. I KEEP MY VEHICLE IN GOOD CONDITION AND WELL KEPT AND SERVICE IS UP TO DATE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR BEGAN TO SOUND DIFFERENT AND LOST POWER ( NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS PEDDLE APPLIED THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD) I LATER DISCOVERED ALLEGEDLY IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. CHECKING WITH MY RESOURCES I FURTHER SUSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED. I CONTACTED CARSON DEALERSHIP ; THEY SAID I SHOULD BRING IT IN TO BE DIAGNOSED. I CALLED THEIR COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT AND ASKED IF THEY COULD HELP ME MY 7 YEAR OLD SENTRA (WHICH I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON) POWER TRAIN SHOULD NOT BE IN FAILURE. THE REPRESENTATIVE LISTENED AND STATED ' THEY COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF MILEAGE ON THE CAR.

THE CAR FIRST STARTED SKIPPING. THEN THE TACHOMETER RACED AND THERE WAS NO GAS PEDAL. THEN IT STARTED BUCKING AND THE TACHOMETER RACED. THEN THERE WAS NOTHING AGAIN. NO POWER. WE PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND IT WOULDN'T GO FORWARD JUST SAT WITH THE TACHOMETER RACING. WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. WE WERE JUST OUTSIDE OF NASHVILLE TN WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND WE HAD TO BE TOWED 921 MILES HOME. COST WAS EXPENSIVE. IS AT A SERVICE STATION NOW BEING LOOKED AT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I TURNED ON MY CAR IN A PARKING STRUCTURE AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF DRIVING MY CAR BEGIN JERKING AND SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. WITH A SCAN TOOL, I SAW THE I GOT CODES FOR MAF. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT OTHER CARS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM UPSET BECAUSE I CONTINUE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. FIRST I HAD THE TRANSMISSION PREMATURELY GO OUT AND NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT TURNS OFF WHEN DRIVING.

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.

2012 NISSAN SENTRA WAS BOUGHT 3 WEEKS PRIOR WITH NO PROBLEMS. WHILE TRAVELING 60 - 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY THE CAR SUDDENLY STOP RUNNING AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO STEER OUT OF THE TROUBLED AREA ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY. AFTER RESEARCH IT SEEM TO BE THE SAME ACTIONS THAT HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER NISSAN SENTRAS. THE DEFECTED CVT TRANSMISSION CAUSES THIS TO HAPPEN. LUCKILY MY SON WAS NOT KILLED DURING A ACCIDENT THAT WAS CAUSED AFTER HE WAS REAR ENDED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON 12/16/19 I REPORTED AN ISSUE WITH THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING IT'S UNAVAILABLE. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES TO FIX THE ISSUE AT METRO NISSAN IN MONTCLAIR CALIFORNIA. THEY CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND KNOW ABOUT IT FROM OTHER VEHICLES. THEY HAVE NOW CHOSEN TO BLAME ME FOR THE ISSUE. THIS DEALERSHIP IS THE WORST POSSIBLE. NISSAN IS WELL AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND DOESN'T HAVE A FIX. THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED, THE SENSOR HAS BEEN CALIBRATED, ETC. PROBLEM IS THE SYSTEM IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY MORE. NISSAN WAKE UP AND FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR MANY OF YOUR CAR OWNERS. BUY THE CARS BACK IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. KEEP OUR SAFETY PRIORITY #1. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR 3 WEEKS AND IT'S BEEN AT METRO NISSAN THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME AND STILL BROKEN. SINCE THE DEALER CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM I'M CONTACTING NISSAN CORP DIRECTLY. LOUSY DEALERSHIP. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.
