UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA SV. LAST WEEK AT JUST OVER 100K MILES MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY CAR. I HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND MY CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. NISSAN CLAIMS THE TRANSMISSION IAN OUT OF WARRANTY. WHEN MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT I WAS GOING 65MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. THERE IS SO MUCH JERKING AND TUGGING. IT IS A SAFETY RISK AND NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT ON THE CVT IN THESE CARS. THEY NOW WANT ALMOST $4000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION TO BE PUT IN WHICH WILL MOST LIKELY STILL BE DEFECTIVE.

AS I WAS DRIVING OR TURNING, CAR WOULD HESITATE, SPEED WOULD DROP EVEN THOUGH FOOT STILL ON ACCELERATOR. TURNS OUT HAD MOISTURE IN DRIVER'S BRAKE LIGHT WHICH CAUSED CAR SWITCH TO BRAKE THEREBY CAUSING JERKING HESITATION. DANGEROUS BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH CAR SLOWED DOWN, BRAKE LIGHTS NOT LIT, DANGEROUS TO DRIVERS BEHIND ME. LIGHT REPLACED DUE TO SEAL ALLOWING MOISTURE IN.

I AM TERRIFIED. GOING UP A HILL MY CAR LOSES POWER AND I START COASTING AROUND 40MPH AND STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC THE HIGHEST I CAN GO IS 60MPH. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN INVOLVED IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS AS A RESULT AND OFTEN HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO SQUEEZES MYSELF INTO THE HE TRUCK LANE ALTHOUGH THEY STILL ARE ABLE TO OVER TAKE ME. MY CAR HAS 50,000 MILES AND IS WELL KEPT BUT IT STRUGGLES SO MUCH GOING UPHILL I CAN FEEL THE WHIRRING AND IT'S LIKE MY TRANSMISSION IS STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WHILE EVERYONE PASSES ME AND TRIES TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME AS A RESULT OF MY SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS AND I FEEL UNSAFE AND FEEL I AM A DANGER TO OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HEARD THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING MORE THAT CAN BE DONE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. YOU CAN EVEN BORROW MY CAR IF YOU'D LIKE TO TEST THIS OUT. I ALSO FEEL IT MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE OVERHEATING.

2014 NISSAN SENTRA BROKE DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. (PARKING IT IN A SPOT IN A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING LOT. ) WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS, TO REVERSE AND STRAIGHTEN OUT, IT SIMPLY TURNED OFF. I RESTARTED AND IT RAN NORMALLY IN "PARK" AND "NEUTRAL," BUT STALLED EVERY TIME I PUT IT INTO ANY GEAR. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP WHERE I WAS INFORMED IT WOULD NEED A NEW CVT, AND THEN TOWED TO THE DEALER. I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND IT IS ONLY THROUGH LUCK THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE ROAD AT SPEED. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH ONLINE INDICTS THESE ISSUE ARE COMMON TO THE SENTRA AND OTHER MODELS FROM THE SAME COMPANY, THAT IT HAS TSB'S AND ALSO MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. THE CAR HAS ALSO BEEN TO THE DEALER RECENTLY, WHO REPLACED THE VALVE BODY AND THE CVT FLUID, BUT THE CVT FAILED AGAIN WITHIN 90 DAYS. NOW, THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACING AND IT'S BEING DONE SO, IN MY OPINION' WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE BY NISSAN THAT IT IS LIKELY TO FAIL AGAIN. THE CAR ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH THE O/D OFF LIGHT ENGAGING WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT MY KNOWINGLY TOUCHING THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT COLUMN. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT SHUTS DOWN A CAR WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN, OR THAT SHIFTS OUT OF OVERDRIVE WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, WITHOUT THE DRIVER MAKING A CONCIOUS CHOICE TO DO SO.

WHILE IN MOTION MY VEHICLE WILL START TO ACCELERATE AND THEN SLOW DOWN EVERY SO OFTEN. I COULD GO TO 20 MPH AND THEN MY CAR WILL START TO SLOW BACK DOWN AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS A COUPLE OF TIMES TO INCREASE THE ACCELERATION BACK UP. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE ON STREETS, HIGHWAYS, TURNING AND IN MOTION.
