AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING. WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL WHILE ACCELERATING IT GOT LOUDER AND STRUGGLED TO MOVE IVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS. I HAD CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK ABOUT MY WARRENTY. THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT I WAS OVER MY MILAGE. SO THEN I TOOK IT TO AMCO TO GET IT SERVICED AND I FIND OUT THE TRANSMISSION HAD ISSUES SPENT 2800. ONE YEAR LATER I'M HAVING OTHER ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I'M NOT THE ONLY COMPLAINTING ABOUT THIS THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES HAVING CVT ISSUES. I CANT AFFORD TO PUT MORE MONEY INTO THIS VEHICLE. ALMOST DONE PAYING IT OFF BUT HAVING ANOTHER ISSUE I JUST WANT TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP!!!

AIR BAGS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN, SHE WAS CUT OFF BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S DAUGHTER SWERVED AND CRASHED THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE INTO A POLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED CHEST PAINS, BUT DID NOT SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *DT*JB

LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD, THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON THESE CARS ARE EXTREMELY HORRIBLE AND POTENTIALLY VERY UNSAFE. THE RPM'S WILL START TO DECREASE AND INCREASE WITH NO WARNING, EVENTUALLY LEAVING THE CAR TO A SLOW CRAWL. VERY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A YOUNG DRIVER ON A BUSY FREEWAY ON HIS WAY BACK TO COLLEGE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A 'PENDING" RECALL AND LAWSUIT ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS AND IS LONG OVERDUE. IT'S NO WONDER, CAR MANUFACTURERS LIKE HONDA AND TOYOTA COME HIGHER RATED, THESE CARS ARE NOT JUST UNRELIABLE, BUT VERY UNSAFE BASED ON THEM HAVING PAST KNOWN MALFUNCTIONS WHICH SEEM TO KEEP RECURRING EVERY YEAR. FILING A COMPLAINT ISN'T GOING TO FIX ANYTHING EITHER, HOPEFULLY A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WILL FORCE NISSAN'S HAND TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY ARE AND HAVE BEEN AWARE OF FOR YEARS.

POWER TRAIN
I CRUNK CAR UP AFTER BEING PARKED FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. THE CAR CRUNK WITH A LOAD WHINING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT DROVE FOR ABOUT 5 FEET AND SUDDENLY WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CAR WAS POWERED ON BUT IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD "WENT OUT" AT 68,970. PER MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT ID # 11030604, THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED ON 10/13/17 AT 39,851 MILES. AFTER RECEIVING SERVICE RECORDS, I CONFIRMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED AT 14,826 MILES (DATE OF REPLACEMENT UNAVAILABLE). THE 2014 NISSAN SENTRA'S CVT TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED NON DRIVER INITIATED HESITATION, ACCELERATION, SLOWING DOWN TO ALMOST A STOP, AND STOPPING WHILE DRIVING. MY PARTICULAIR VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION HAD BEEN REPLACED AT LEAST 3 TIMES AT 68,970 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE (INCLUDING ONE TIME AT 39,824 WHEN THE CVT CONTROL VALVE ASSEMPLY WAS REPLACED).

CAR'S TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED IN MARCH OF 2018. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION THAT WAS REPLACED, THE FIRST TIME, IS NO LONGER COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I EXPRESSED CONCERNS THAT NO VEHICLE WHICH IS SERVICED REGULARLY SHOULD REQUIRE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION IN A YEAR AND A HALF.

ENGINE
I WAS SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS PETAL TO DRIVE AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN AND IT JUST CUT OFF AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR TO MAKE IT HOME. ALSO WHILE DRIVING I COULD FEEL THE CAR SHAKING OR VIBRATING, EVEN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN OR CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT IT WAS SHAKING/VIBRATING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS. I DID HAVE MY CAR SERVICED LAST MONTH AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG AND WASN'T SURE WHY THE LIGHT WAS ON. IT HAS BEEN A MONTH AND MY ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON, AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I WORRY WHEN DRIVING BECAUSE I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF MY CAR IS GOING TO CUT OFF AGAIN WHILE I'M DRIVING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, I ALSO WORRY EVERY TIME I FEEL IT SHAKE/VIBRATE THINKING ITS GOING TO CUT OFF. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND WORRISOME. I HOPE THIS ISSUE CAN BE RESOLVED- NOT A HAPPY NISSAN OWNER RIGHT NOW.

I PURCHASED A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA AND WITHIN 6 MONTHS THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY WENT OUT. IT STARTED ACTING FUNNY ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN TO AN APPT. AND WITHIN 2 HOURS EXITED THE INTERSTATE AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE OFF THE RAMP DUE TO TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED NO RAVING OR RPM MOVEMENT NOTHING. FINALLY I SHUT HER OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES RESTARTED PUT HER IN DRIVE AND SHE JERKED AND LUNGED ACROSS INTERSECTION. SHE THEN THREW THE ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES. PRIOR TO STOPPING AND LUNGING NOT SO MUCH AS A LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT HAD GOTTEN BAD GAS A TIME OR TWO BUT OTHERWISE NO WARNING OR ANYTHING PRIOR.
