ENGINE
PLEASE REFERENCE NHTSA ISSUE 11383950 SUBMITTED DEC 17, 2020. THIS IS ANOTHER ISSUE RELATED TO THE PRIOR SUBMITTED DEC 17TH. ON DEC 26 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER ASKED IF WE HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH WE DO NOT, AND THEN TOOK THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION. THAT SAME DAY WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION (SCREENSHOTS ATTACHED) THAT CVT ASSEMPLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (EST $3800). AFTER LOOKING FURTHER ONLINE, THERE ARE VARIOUS COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS REGARDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE. WE WERE NOT INCLUDED IN RECALLS REGARDING CVT TRANSMISSION KNOWN ISSUES. PLEASE HELP GETTING THIS RESOLVED TO OUR SATISFACTION.

THE TRANSMISSION WOULD OCCASIONALLY SLIP WHILE IN MOTION DURING ACCELERATION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE, WE BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THEIR ATTENTION. SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THAT A TCM SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NEEDED. I LOCATED A SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN COVERING TCM REPROGRAM COVERING 2013 VEHICLES (SB-10051662-4475). NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WILL NOT ADDRESS THE 2014 ISSUE AT THIS TIME.

AIR BAGS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, HE HIT A DEER. THE COLLISION SMASHED THE BUMPER AND PUSHED THE GRILL INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE HOOD WAS CRUSHED IN AND BENT UPWARDS AND WAS UNABLE TO BE OPEN TO CHECK FOR ENGINE DAMAGE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE CRASH SCENE. NONE OF THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITH THE COLLISION. THE DEALER PRESTIGE NISSAN LEE'S SUMMIT (1025 SE OLDHAM PKWY, LEE'S SUMMIT, MO 64081 (816) 600-4000) GAVE AN UNCLEAR EXPLANATION AS TO WHERE THE SENSORS WERE IN THE FRONT TO HAVE ACTIVATED THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE CONTACT FILED A CLAIM WITH HIS INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE VEHICLE REMAINED UN REPAIRED AT THIS TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,400.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA WAS STARTING TO SLIP AS I WAS DRIVING, MIND YOU MY CAR HAS ONLY 113 THOUSAND PLUS MILES ON IT. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AFTER PAYING 140 DOLLARS TO HAVE HAVE THE CODE READ, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, 31036-9AM2A. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND GAVE ME THE COSTUMER SERVICE NUMBER TO CALL, WITH A $3600 COST ESTIMATE. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT DUE TO THE MILEAGE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. AFTER HEARING THIS I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND I FOUND THAT THIS IS INDEED A COMMON ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THEY HAVE EXTENDED SOME WARRANTIES TO 120 THOUSAND MILES OR 5 YEARS HOWEVER I WAS TOLD MY CAR MILEAGE EXCLUDES ME FROM THIS WARRANTY. WHAT YEARS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP.

NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS DURABILITY IS UNDER A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT, AND THEIR RESPONSE TO EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO COVER THE ISSUES IS INSUFFICIENT AND IN DISREGARD OF THE CURRENT PANDEMIC. NISSAN DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHY 7 YEARS OR 84000 MILES WERE CHOSEN AS THE CUTLINE TO PROVIDE COVERAGE. IF 7 YEARS IS THE DECIDED COVERAGE, WHICH IS UNSATISFACTORY FOR TRANSMISSIONS, THE CORRESPONDING MILEAGE SHOULD BE 94500, NOT 84000 BASED ON "THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION STATES THE AVERAGE PERSON DRIVES AROUND 13,500 MILES EVERY YEAR.". NISSAN MUST EXPLAIN THIS COVERAGE LIMITS DECISION AND EXTEND THE WARRANTY PERIOD AMID THE PANDEMIC TO AVOID NEGLIGENCE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
HI I HAVE 3 ISSUES WITH MY CAR, IT'S A 2014 NISSAN CENTRA, THE FIRST ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION IT'S REALLY BAD I HAVE ALREADY TOO IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AN SAID THEY FIXED THE ISSUE BUT IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING, WHEN YOU GO TO TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT WANTS TO HESITATE TAKING OFF, IT SPITTING AND JERKS AND THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WANT TO CHANGE GEARS, I HAVE A AUTOMATIC BUT IT ACTS LIKE A STRAIGHT SHIFT SO WHEN IT HESITATES I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS NOR TO GET IT TO GO BUT IF YOU MASH THE GAS TO HARD IT WILL TAKE OFF FAST AFTER IT SPITS, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, I HAVE ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF A FEW VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE TRIED TO PULL OUT FROM A SIDE ROAD AND A CAR WOULD BE COMING AN I KNOW I HAVE TIME TO GET OUT BUT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WANTS TO ACT CRAZY AN IT STARTS HESITATING TO GO, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES. THAT'S NOT ALL MY OTHER ISSUE IS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IT HAS WENT OUT IN THE LAST YEAR, I WENT AND HAD IT SERVICED AN THEY SAID IT WAS THE AIR COMPRESSOR, I TOOK IT TO PEP BOYS AND THE GUY THAT LOOKED AT IT HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAS HAD 47 NISSAN CENTRAS IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS TO BE SERVICED FOR THE SAME REASONS, WELL ONE DAY THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS FINE BUT THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO TURN IT ON AND IT IS BLOWING NOTHING BUT HOT AIR SO HE CHECKED IT AND HE SAID THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AGAIN!! THE OTHER ISSUE IS YESTERDAY I WENT TO GET DINNER AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AND MY CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 40,000 MILES ON IT YET, I REALLY HOPE WRITING TO YOU ABOUT THESE THINGS GOING WRONG WILL OPEN THE NISSAN COMPANY'S EYES BEFORE SOMEONE ACTUALLY GET KILLED DRIVING ONE OF THEIR CARS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAY TO READ THIS. AND I HOPE YOU CAN GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THESE ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT, ALL THESE PROBLEMS IN 3 WEEKS.

I AM OWNER OF A 2014 NISSAN CENTRA. I STARTED GETTING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. I NOTOCED THAT WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKES, THE PETALS GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. MY CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES. I TOOK IT FOR AN INSPECTION TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER TWICE AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
