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.

PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE OWNED NISSAN SENTRA 2014 FROM PINEBELT DEALERSHIP WITH 67K MILES ON IT JAN 8TH 2018. NISSAN WAS WELL AWARE OF THE TRANS ISSUES HOWEVER I WAS NOT. AND THE SALESMAN WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO TELL ME THE TRANS LASTS THE LIFE OF THE CAR. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. CAR JUST HIT 104K MILES. WHILE TAKING IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THE RECEPTIONIST TOLD ME THE MECHANIC HEARD A NOISE AND WANTED ME TO CONSENT TO A $160 DIAGNOSTIC. I SAID I DON'T HEAR A NOISE THERE AREN'T ANY LIGHTS ON. SURE ENOUGH THEY TOLD ME THE TRANS IS BAD AND WILL COST ME 4500 TO REPLACE. I OWE $7900 ON THE CAR CURRENTLY. NO ONE WOULD FINANCE A CAR AND EXPECT THE TRANS 2 GO IN 2 YEARS. THE CAR STARTED ACTING UP LESS THAN 5 DAYS AFTER VISITING THE DEALERSHIP. IT WONT GO OVER 50 MPH ITS SHAKING BADLY. ITS MAKING WHINING NOISES AND STARTS JERKING. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY DAY. IM GOING TO GET SLAMMED. THE CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. I BROUGHT IT TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC FOR A 2ND OPINION. HE CONFIRMED THE TRANS IS SLIPPING AND HE HAD A CAR LOT WITH HALF A DOZEN 2014 SENTRAS WAITING ON A NEW TRANS. I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN AND ASKED FOR HELP. HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. THESE CARS ARE SO UNSAFE ITS TERRIFYING DRIVING THEM. *TR

MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA KEEPS JUMPING, JERKING AND STUTTERING WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL, SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL NOT RESPOND AT FIRST OR BARELY START MOVING AND THEN WITHOUT WARNING WILL JUMP/KICK THE CAR FORWARD. THIS MAKES IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, ESPECIALLY DURING CITY AND TRAFFIC JAM CONDITIONS. AFTER LOOKING UP THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET, I FOUND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THE 2014 NISSAN SENTRA AND IS THE CAUSE OF MANY ACCIDENTS. I AM PRETTY SURE THE ISSUE IS BEING CAUSED BY THE TRANSMISSION.

THE CAR SOMETIMES DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TAKEN MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THE CAR CONTINUES AT THE SAME SPEED AS IF MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS AND AT TIMES, NO MATTER HOW FAST I TRY TO GO, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST A CERTAIN SPEED. THERE IS ALOT OF HESITATION FOR THE CAR TO GO TO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS HAPPENS TO ME AS I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE TO WORK ON A MAIN ROAD.

WHILE IN MOTION MY VEHICLE IS JERKING AND STALLING. THIS IS NOT SAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE DOING ABOUT 55 MPH. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW MONTHS. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE ISSUE IS BUT I SEE THERE ARE OTHERS WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT AND THEY ARE SAYING ITS THE TRANSMISSION. IF IT IS THEN NISSAN NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE!

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX. 30 MPH TURNING AT THE END OF AN EXIT RAMP OFF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AS IF IT WAS SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN BUT COULD ONLY GO 6 MPH WITHOUT JERKING VIOLENTLY. AFTER STOPPING, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN NUMEROUS TIMES, WAS INTERMITTENTLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO GO FASTER THAN 6 MPH ONLY TO HAVE IT SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN AGAIN, JERKING WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES. IT TOOK ONE AND A HALF HOURS TO TRAVEL 16 MILES BACK HOME. NOT SURE WHATS WRONG...TRANSMISSION, SPEED SENSORS OR OTHER? I'VE GONE ONLINE AND SEEN OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHY HASN'T NISSAN BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE? NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS LEMON !

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR NISSAN SENTRA 2014 ON THE HIGHWAY TO GO TO THE AIRPORT WHEN SUDDENLY OUR CAR WAS GOING DOWN THE SPEED TO 45 MPH. IT WAS DANGEROUS BECAUSE OTHER CARS WERE GOING TO 65 MPH AND MORE. WHEN WE ARRIVED IN FRONT OF THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR DIDN'T GO ANYMORE. WE WERE STUCK ON THE MIDDLE LANE AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH THE CAR WITH THE HELP OF ANOTHER PERSON TO THE PARKING LOT. THE CAR SMELL LIKE SOME FLUIDS WHERE BURNING.THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE ABOUT 3 TIMES BECAUSE I HEARD A BAD NOISE, BUT THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG THAT THE NOISE WAS NORMAL. AFTER THIS INCIDENT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD, RIGHT NOW IS AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING APPROVAL FROM THE CORPORATION TO FIX IT. THE CORPORATION AND THE DEALERSHIP KNEW THAT CVT TRANSMISSION ARE DEFECTIVE AND THEY ARE PUTTING US IN DANGER.

I GOT INTO MY CAR AFTER I HAVE ALREADY TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND GOT THE 1 RECALL FIXED AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS POPPED ON AGAIN! SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR WHICH HAS BEEN LITTLE THAN OVER 2 WEEKS IT HAS HAD ISSUE AFTER ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF AND WHILE DRIVE ITS LIKE THERE IS A TURBO ENGINE IN IT BECAUSE IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IT AND SOMETIMES (MOST OF THE TIME) IT ALMOST SEEMS HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY.
