2013 Nissan Sentra complaints

THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON MY VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED ON A 65MPH TOLLED HIGHWAY WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO SOUNDS, NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, ETC. ALL AT ONCE, THE TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED GOING INTO GEAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. WE WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND CAME INCHES FROM A PILE-UP. THE SITUATION WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. NOT TO MENTION, MY DAUGHTER HAD JUST COME OUT OF SURGERY. COME TO FIND OUT, THERE IS EXTENSIVE INFORMATION ON HOW FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION IS. WE ARE FAR FROM THE ONLY FAMILY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. IT'S EXTREMELY COMMON. YET, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND THERE IS NO OPEN INVESTIGATION INTO NISSAN. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE BEING KILLED? MOST LIKELY. THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY, DANGEROUS AND GOING TO TAKE SOMEONES LIFE. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS DONE NOTHING. THEY HAVE NUMEROUS TSB'S ON IT. YET, THEY HAVE DENIED CUSTOMER'S CLAIMS, HAVE NOT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE PART AND DO NOT TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUS. I URGE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MASTRIA NISSAN (1305 NEW STATE HIGHWAY, RAYNHAM, MA 02767) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WITHOUT WARNING ONCE DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH KELLY NISSAN OF LYNNFIELD (275 BROADWAY, LYNNFIELD, MA 01940, (866)-726-4450). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT, IF THERE WAS A FAILURE, FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE COULD POSSIBLY ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,200.

2013 NISSAN SENTRA W/ 58,700 MILES. THE CAR EXPERIENCED A LOUD WHINING NOISE, WHICH PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE UNTIL IT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND REV INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL POWER WAS LOST. THE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER OCCURED WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30 MPH ON A 2-LANE ROAD IN TRAFFIC, CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE DRIVER WAS FORCED TO STOP THE CAR IN THE TRAVEL LANE WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON WHILE OTHER VEHICLES PASSED ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINED, INTERMITTENT REVVING UNDER LOAD, SHUDDERING, AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AGAIN. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, AND IT IS BEING EXAMINED BY THAT DEALER NOW. ALL SYMPTOMS POINT TO FAILURE OF THE CVT, A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A RANGE OF NISSAN VEHICLES THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR YEARS. NOTE, 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE SAME DEALER CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PERFORMED OTHER REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE. FROM THE CONSUMER PERSPECTIVE, NISSAN AND THIS DEALER ARE KNOWINGLY ALLOWING UNSAFE VEHICLES TO LEAVE THEIR LOT AND NOT INFORMING OWNERS OF THESE ISSUES.

TAKATA RECALL. TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITHOUT SHOWING CODES.. NISSAN KEPT SAYING IT WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR BUT THE CAR WAS STALLING AND PULLING AT TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A TURN ON CITY STREETS THE CAR WOULDNT GO.. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. SO IT TOOK MONTHS OF THEM REFUSING TO FIX AND MY WARRANTY COMPANY TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM. ALSO, THE MASTER BREAK CYLINDER WENT OUT WITHOUT NOTICE. I HAVE HAD MANY MECHANICS LOOK AT CAR AND SAY THAT MY CAR HAS VERY LITTLE MILES FOR THIS TO HAPPEN SO SOON.. WHILE DRIVING ON MAIN ROADS AND HIGHWAYS THE BRAKE PAD WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. WHEN AT A RED LIGHT AND STOP SIGN OR ANY TIME I AM AT A STOP THE CAR KEEPS MOVING WITH BRADE PAD ON FLOOR OF CAR..

WHILE DRIVING MY NISSAN SENTRA, FOR OVER 2 YEARS IT STARTED TO JERK WHILE SHIFTING IN BETWEEN GEARS AND GOING FROM STOPPING TO STARTING. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING, I WAS GETTING ONTO AN INTERSTATE FROM THE RAMP AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT TOOK ME A GOOD .5 MILES TO GET UP TO 40MPH AND A MILE OR MORE TO GET UP TO THE SPEED OF 60 MPH! EVERY TIME I WOULD STOP AND HAVE TO START AGAIN IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME TO ACCELERATE TO THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SUDDENLY LOST ALL OF ITS POWER IN A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT IS VERY EASY TO CAUSE A CRASH AND KILL ME. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I AM TOLD THAT THE AVERAGE COST FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION CAN RANGE FROM 3500 TO 5000. IT'S ALMOST A NEW CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED OUT OF NOWHERE ON 78K MILES!! JUST GOT OUT OF THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS CVT CAUSED NISSAN TO WARRANTY THE OLDER MODELS BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THEY DID NOT OFFER THE SAME ON MY 2013. HOWEVER, FROM MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE A CURRENT AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH ALL NISSANS WITH A CVT. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE COMMON PROBLEM AND IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT IT.

MY DAUGHTER;S 2013 NISSAN SENTRA STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH IT SPUTTERING AND JERKING. WE HAD SOME MAINTENANCE ON IT EVEN CHANGING SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. ISSUE WASNT AS BAD AFTERWARDS BUT THEN AS THE DAYS PASSED IT GOT WORSE. AS SHE AND A FRIEND WERE TRYING TO MAKE IT BACK HOME THE CAR STOPPED MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET HOLDING UP TRAFFIC. A TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED AND IT WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $3000 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL!!!

VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 60,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEGAN TO STUTTER OR SHAKE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT. ALSO THE OTHER DAY WHEN GOING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE PETAL TO THE FLOOR.

HUGE FUEL LEAK (CAR CAN CATCH FIRE AND KILL THE PEOPLE) I HAVE HUGE FUEL LEAK WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND HAPPEN WITHOUT ANY NOTICE AND I WAS LUCKY THAT CAR DIDN'T CATCH FIRE WHILE DRIVING (NOTE THAT THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING ONLY 6000 KM THAT IS MEANING BAD QUALITY CAR FROM NISSAN)

RANDOM AND SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION AS VARIOUS SPEEDS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS

THE TRANSMISSION HAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE AND IT FLUTTERS. THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD. I'VE ALREADY PAID $1K BECAUSE THE AIR COND COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AND NOW THEY WANT $6K TO REPLACE THE TRANS ON A CAR THAT MIGHT BE WORTH $7K. NISSAN NA SAYS THEY WILL NOT HELP COVER ANY COSTS. EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THIS TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES ACCORDS THE BOARD AND THEY HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO THE 2007-2010 MODELS.

SO MANY ISSUES NOT EVEN SURE WHAT IT IS. CAR WILL FAIL TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AND CONSTANT REDLINE, VERY DANGEROUS WHEN GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR WILL RANDOMLY GET NO GAS TO ACCELERATE UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. TRANSMISSION SLIPS AT 80K MILES. OR PERCEIVED TO BE SLIPPING, CAR WILL DROP RPM AND THEN RISE QUICKLY JERKING THE CAR AROUND. GOING DOWN HILL THE CAR WILL QUICKLY RISE RPM OVER AND OVER AND THE CAR WILL UNCONTROLLABLY JERK VERY NOTICEABLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEED FLUCTUATED BETWEEN 20 AND 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (PASSPORT NISSAN, 5000 AUTH WAY, CAMP SPRINGS, MD 20746, 301-423-8400) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 114,000.

MY NISSAN SENTRA 2013 HAS BEEN RECENTLY GIVING ME ISSUES WHILE I AM DRIVING. AT 87K, THIS CAR DE-ACCELERATE SUDDENLY WHILE I AM DRIVING AND CAUSES THE RPM TO GO UP WHILE THE SPEED DECREASES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY STATED THAT I WOULD NEED TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GET IT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND QUOTED ME 4K FOR THIS. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THE CASE WAS ESCALATED TO SOMEONE NAMED AMANDA IN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN TENESSEE. SHE QUICKLY INFORMED ME THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT ASSIST IN ANY WAY WITH REPAIRING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. SHE ALSO STATED THAT HER DECISION WAS FINAL AND THAT THIS MATTER COULD NOT BE ESCALATED ANY FURTHER.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN MARCH 2013. MY TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED WITHIN 1.5 YEARS (28K MILES) FROM PURCHASE DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE PROBLEM IS REOCCURRING ABOUT 3.5 YEARS (77K MILES). SYMPTOMS ARE SIMILAR TO MOST REPORTING I'VE SEEN ONLINE. ACCELERATION DELAYS, CAR SPUTTERS, METAL ON METAL SOUNDS. MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE AT AN INTERSECTION WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS. GIVEN MY FIRST TRANSMISSION WAS FOUND TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT MY 2ND TRANSMISSION WHICH IS IDENTICALLY FAILING NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED SAME WHICH IT IS NOT.

68000 MILES AND TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP. ALSO ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTS AND JERKS WHILE GOING AT CRUISING SPEEDS. IT IS HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SHUDDERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION CAP WAS MISSING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (QUIRK NISSAN, 600 SOUTHERN ARTERY, QUINCY, MA 02169) WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED BY THE SAME DEALER ON MARCH 7, 2014. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 32406354. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

CVT FAILURE- TRANSMISSION SLIPS, JERKS, AND VIOLENTLY SHUDDERS LIKE I AM SLAMMING MY BREAKS. CAR IS SCARY TO DRIVE AND SOMEONE WILL GET HURT. NISSAN UNABLE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE DUE TO NO TROUBLE CODES STORED. WELL THEY CLEARED THE CODE THAT WAS STORED WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN: CVT CLUTCH ISSUE. HIGH RPMS AND STRUGGLES TO SWITCH GEARS. WENT DOWN A RAMP ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL THE CAR SHUDDERED SO BAD. ALSO JERKS AND SPUTTERS WHEN PULLING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

BOUGHT THIS CAR, MY FIRST CAR ON 04/20/2018. I HAVE A SHORT COMMUTE TO WORK AND THE CAR SEEMED TO FIT MY PRICE RANGE AND DIDN'T SEE MANY DIRE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SPECIFIC MODEL OF CAR WHILE RESEARCHING BEFORE PURCHASING. UNTIL I SEARCHED RPM SPIKES AND TRANSMISSION SLIPS ON GOOGLE AFTER MY 60 DAY LIMITED WARRANTY RAN OUT. HAVEN'T EVEN DRIVEN THIS CAR 800 MILES AND THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY ON THE ROADS, AND AT ONLY 55,000 MILES. IT JERKED FROM DAY ONE, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL UNTIL IT GOT WORSE. I'M JUST NOW REGRETTING BUYING THIS VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO I WAS IN A PINCH FOR A CAR I GOT BILLS TO PAY AND A JOB I HAVE TO MAKE IT TO. IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND ALL AGREE THE CVT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I HAVE TO BE HONEST I AGREE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU COULD SELL SOMEONE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT LETTING THEM KNOW THE REPUTATION THIS CAR HAS. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD SELL SOMEONE A USED CAR TO SOMEONE AND KNOW THAT PERSONS CAR MAY STALL, OR JERK AND CAUSE A LIFE THREATENING CAR CRASH. WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, ITS NOT THE MONEY ITS THE SAFETY, THE VEHICLE DOESN'T OPERATE IN A SAFE MANNER, IT JERKS, STALLS, SHAKES WHEN BREAKING ALL WHILE NOT FLASHING ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS SAYING THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WHEN THERE CLEARLY IS SOMETHING WRONG.

TRANSMISSION SHAKES AND JUDDERS. CAR BUCKS WHEN SLOWING BELOW 15 MPH, CLUNKS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS, RPMS ARE HIGH AND CAR SEEMS STUCK AND CANNOT SWITCH GEARS. IT HAPPENS ON REGULAR STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE WORSE IS GOING DOWN AN EXIT RAMP. VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE TO HAVE THE CAR SUDDENLY BUCK AND LURCH.

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT 65 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IT STEADILY BEGAN TO DECELERATE, GIVING NO WARNING, WITH NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH OR NOISES. AS I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL INPUT, AND I HAD TRAFFIC MOVING AT A VERY HIGH SPEED AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER CAR ATTEMPTING TO GET ONTO THE VERY SLIM SHOULDER AT LOW SPEED. THE CAR HAD 74,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, AND HAD EXCELLENT CARE TAKEN OF IT, INCLUDING ITS RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN DECEMBER 2012, AND I AM THE ONLY OWNER. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHERE I WAS TOLD I WAS OUT OF THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. INITIALLY QUOTED $4500 JUST TO GET THE CAR BACK IN WORKING ORDER, IT TOOK NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TWO WEEKS TO ARRIVE AT A FIGURE JUST SHORT OF $1100 TO GET MY CAR RUNNING AGAIN. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT FAIL IN A VEHICLE AT ALL, LET ALONE ONE THAT NEW, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE LEVEL OF CARE THAT IT WAS GIVEN. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AS I ALMOST HAD NOWHERE SAFE TO PULL OVER. IF THIS HAD BEEN THE MULTI-LANE HIGHWAY I WAS ON MINUTES BEFORE, I MAY HAVE NOT BEEN OVER TO REACH THE SHOULDER AND COULD HAVE BEEN HIT OR INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. UPON DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ENCOUNTERED BY A LARGE NUMBER OF NISSAN OWNERS WITH CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSIONS AND THE COMPANY HAS DONE LITTLE OR NOTHING ABOUT IT, AND HAVE ATTEMPTED TO MINIMIZE THE PROBLEM. BY

UPDATE SINCE APRIL - PURCHASED CAR 10-22-15 INSPECTION AND SAID IT WAS GOOD. IN 1-14-2016 CAR GROWLING/CITY STREET.

THEY SAID IT WAS FROM THE TRANSMISSION BEING REPLACED. STRAIGHTENED THE HEAT PLATE UNDER THE TRANS. STILL RATTLES 3-15-18 WHILE DRIVING WITH THE NEW TRANS. CAR WENT INTO SPORT MODE ON CITY STREET, JUST LIKE BEFORE THE ORIGINAL TRANS EXPLODED. 4-29-18 STRANDED IN DRIVEWAY AFTER DRIVING IT 28 MILES- THE BATTERY WAS DISCHARGING WHILE DRIVING- WE'VE BEEN STRANDED ABOUT 14X'S.

NOTHING WRONG 6-26-18 WENT INTO SPORT MODE DRIVING FOR ABOUT 40 SECONDS -PULLED OVER- SHUT OFF MOTOR. 7-26-18 SHIFTED INTO HIGH GEAR AGAIN ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVIN

MY 2013 SENTRA IT BEGAN TO JERK AND LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR REVS UP TO 5000RPMS WENT BACK DOWN TO BETWEEN 3000 AND 4000RPMS. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST AUTO SHOP AAMCO. THE MECHANIC SAID TO SEE IF IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. HE SAID THERE WERE KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT. WE DROVE HOME AND I CALLED NISSAN (8883880318) AND SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE. HE ASKED FOR THE VIN AND TOLD ME THERE WAS A "CAMPAIGN" ON THIS CAR. I ASKED HIM WAS A CAMPAIGN AND A RECALL THE SAME THING, HE SAID THEY WERE THE SAME, DIFFERENT WORDS.. HE TOLD ME THE CVT NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. HE GAVE ME A DEALERSHIP. I CALLED, MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 9:00AM THIS MORNING. WE TOOK THE CAR IN, WAS TOLD THE CAR HAD BEEN REPROGRAMMED. WE DROVE AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP, GOT ABOUT ONE BLOCK AND THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND LOSE POWER LIKE BEFORE. WE TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I TOLD THE REPRESENTATIVE THE CAR WAS STILL JERKING AND LOSING POWER. SHE SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $99.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. I DID NOT PAY FOR THE TEST BECAUSE THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE TOLD ME THE REPAIR WOULD BE AT NO CHARGE. WHEN WE GOT HOME, I CALLED NISSAN, AGAIN. I WAS TOLD I COULD NOT TALK TO THE REPRESENTATIVE I TALKED TO YESTERDAY. THIS TIME, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO WARRANTY LEFT BECAUSE I HAD 82,000 MILES ON THE CAR. HE TOLD ME THE WARRANTY STOPPED AT 60,000 MILES. I TOLD HIM THE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE TO YESTERDAY TOLD ME IT WAS COVERED AND I HAD LOOKED ONLINE AND NISSAN HAD ADDED TO THE WARRANTY

I AM REQUESTING AN INVESTIGATION INTO NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS AFTER SUFFERING TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 70 MILES AN HOUR WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL ON AN INTERSTATE IN TRAFFIC. RPMS JUMPED UP BUT WAS LOSING POWER AND ENGINE SOUNDED HORRIBLE LIKE METAL ON METAL . ABLE TO GET OFF BEFORE PASSING EXIT AND LIMPED INTO NEARBY GAS STATION. TOWED TO NEAREST NISSAN DEALER AFTER BREAKDOWN AND TOLD A FEW DAYS LATER THAT SOMETHING BROKE INTERNALLY IN TRANSMISSION AND WILL NOW HAVE TO BE REPLACED AFTER 115000 MILES FOR $4000. CAR BOUGHT NEW IN 2013. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ABOUT NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSIONS FOR YEARS AND NISSAN IS NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. NISSAN OFFERED OWNERS OF PREVIOUS MODELS UP TO YEAR 2010 TO DOUBLE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY FROM 60,000 TO 120,000 TO ADDRESS PREVIOUS COMPLAINTS BUT CURRENT OWNERS ARE NOT OFFERED THIS CURRENTLY EVEN THOUGH OBVIOUS PROBLEMS REMAIN WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. THERE HAS TO BE A FAULT WITH THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE IN DANGER IF FAILURE OCCURS IN TRAFFIC AND ARE SUFFERING FINANCIALLY FROM PAYING FOR REPAIRS FROM THIS PROBLEM.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 80,000 MILES. $3,700 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE. CAR WON'T ACCELERATE AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT IF DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY.

HELLO, I AM A OWNER OF A NISSAN SENTRA SR 2013 AND IT HAS 102,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) HAS FAILED AND MY WIFE WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY AND TEMP. OF 100+ FOR 2 HOURS BECAUSE THERE WHERE ENOUGH TOW TRUCKS IN THE AREA TO COME PICK HER AND THE VEHICLE UP. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING, WE HAVE OWNED OTHER NISSAN'S IN THE PAST AND THEY HAD DOUBLE THE MILEAGE ON THEM AND THERE TRANSMISSION HAD VERY FAILED. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS HERE AND ON THE WEB WITH REGARDS TO THIS TRANSMISSION (CVT) AND EVEN LAWSUITS. PLEASE NTSB REVIEW THESE'S COMPLAINTS AND THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME THAT SOMEONE COULD BE HUT BECAUSE THERE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THEY COULD GET TO A SAFE AREA.

WITH ONLY 69800 MILES 2013 , TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO OPERATE . WONT ACCELARATE IN OCASSIONS , AND THE CAR WONT MOVE FORWARD THIS CAN CAUSE A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE FUEL GAUGE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GAUGE FLUCTUATED BETWEEN FULL AND EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

OUR 2013 NISSAN SENTRA WITH 112K MILES, THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED TO SHUTTER WHEN SHIFTING ON CITY STREETS, GETS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR WHEN PULLING ONTO HIGHWAYS ON RAMPS, AND SLIPS WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH AND WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL. THIS VEHICLE SAVED MY WIFE'S LIFE WHILE BEING OUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION. SHE HAS SURVIVED 5 CANCERS BUT NOW WE DON'T HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. I CAN'T GET THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE TWO RECALLS PERFORMED ON THE AIRBAGS AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAJOR FAILURE IN WHICH I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION!

WHILE DRIVING THIS AFTERNOON ON THE HIGHWAY IN CHARLESTON, SC. MY VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING BEGAN REVVING ERRATICALLY GONG HIGH THEN LOW. DURING WHICH TIME MY THE VEHICLE LOSS ACCELERATION WHILE STILL REVVING. IM IN THE FAST LANE!! SO, AS I PROCEED TO MOVE OVER TOWARDS THE SHOULDER IM LOSING POWER, TRYING TO ACCELERATE SO I CAN MOVE AND IT JUST REVS. AS, I MAKE IT ALMOST TOWARDS THE RIGHT LANE I LOSE ALL ACCELERATION!! ALL OF IT!! AT THIS POINT IM SCARED AS ALL GET OUT. I DONT HAVE THE POWER TO MOVE, YET ALL THESE CARS ARE ZOOMING BY ME. MY FLASHERS ARE ON, BUT I AM IN THE LAST LANE OF TRAFFIC. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, THEN BACK AND DRIVE AND IT STARTS TO ACCELERATE WHEN I HIT THE GAS. JUST ENOUGH FOR ME TO PULL IT OFF OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE!! I HAVE 78,000 MILES ON IT, IT HAS BEEN DEALER SERVICED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, NO WARNINGS. HELL, I LITTERALLY JUST HAD IT AT NISSAN OF CHARLESTON LAST WEEK 6/22/18 AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC RUN ON THE VEHICLE. NOTHING. THESE GUYS ARE GONG TO KILL SOMEONE, I'VE JUST READ TOO MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME THINGS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME MODEL YEAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED OUT THERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ALAN WEBB NISSAN (3608 NE AUTO MALL DR, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON 98662, (360) 892-9004) DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 319-401-85. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,600.

MY CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION AND NISSAN KNOWS THAT THESE CARS AT AROUND 70,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION STARTS ACTING UP. I NOTICED THAT MY CAR FELT A LITTLE DIFFERENT WHENEVER I WAS DRIVING IT BUT JUST THOUGHT IT WAS MY IMPRESSION. AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR, THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. IN THE HIGHWAY IT JERKS, SPEEDS AND SLOWS DOWN AT VARIOUS TIMES UNANNOUNCED WHICH MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A $4000 TRANSMISSION THAT THEY WOULD'VE REPLACED FOR FREE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAPPEN TO BE 1800 MILES OVER WHAT THE BOOK STATES. IF I KNEW THAT MY CAR HAD A TRANSMISSION THAT IS NO GOOD THAT PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER I WOULD'VE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP A LONG TIME AGO. BUT I DIDN'T KNOW AS THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS POINT.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY STOP ACCELERATING, CAUSING YOU TO HAVE TO LET OFF AND PRESS DOWN AGAIN ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS OCCURS DURING DRIVING AND AFTER TURNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND HAD TO BE PUSHED OFF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (GETTEL NISSAN, 3530 BEE RIDGE RD, SARASOTA, FL 34239) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTIONED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

MY CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WAS AWARE OF THE DEFECT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND HIT IT FROM CUSTOMERS. I GOT A QUOTE FROM MY DEALERSHIP FOR $4,300.17 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT BECAISE I NEED MY CAR FOR WORK.

MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION AS WELL AS SHUDDERING HESITATING, DOWN SHIFTING ABOVE 50MPH.,WHINING SOUND FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CARRIED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SHIP TO BE CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. I WOULD NEED A NEW ONE. I HAVE ENCLOSED THE INVOICES AS WELL AS MY DIFFERENT STEPS TO TRY TO RESOLVE THIS AS A WARRANTY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL PASSENGER AIR BAG DOES NOT TURN ON WHEN PASSENGER IS IN CAR WHILE THE CAR IS AND IS NOT IN MOTION. CAR TURNED OFF WHILE PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. MECHANIC CONFIRMED I HAVE A WIRING ISSUE SOMEWHERE WHEN THEY TRIED TO PUT NEW FOG LIGHTS IN AND ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS, I LOSE SPEED AND CAN'T USE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE TO PICK UP ANY SPEED.CAR WON'T GO PASS 20 MPH.

STALLING WITHOUT WARNING SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP INTERMITTANT HAS OCCURRED FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS. NISSAN DEALER UNABLE TO CORRECT PROBLEM AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS 'NO FAULT FOUND, UNABLE TO DUPLICATE COMPLAINT'. EGI HARRNESS REPLACED NO CHANGE IN 2016.

VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS FURTHER THAN NORMAL. HAVE CHECKED BRAKE PADS, BRAKE SHOES, ADJUST HAND BRAKE FLUSH BRAKE FLUID AND REFILL AND BLED ALL 4 BRAKE LINES. NO IMPROVEMENT. I BOUGHT USED.

WHILE DRIVING INTERMITTANT STALLING, RESTARTS RIGHT AWAY, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALSO MAY ALMOST STALL UPON COMING TO A STOP LIGHT, BEGINS TO IDLE ROUGH, OCCURS VERY INTERMITTANT, WHEN PURCHASED PRE-OWNED SIMILAR PROBLEM WAS RECTIFIED BY REPLACEMENT OF SOME TYPE OF EMISSIONS HARNESS HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY KEEP CHARGING ME FOR TRYING TO REPAIR AND NOTHING SEEMS TO CHANGE STILL RANDOM STALLING

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SV I PURCHASED USED. NOW TWO YEARS LATER AND OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY PERIOD I AM GOING ON 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF AT THE SHOP FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THEY UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER, DIDN'T FIX IT, THEN THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR, THIS ALSO DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE, NOW ONE WEEK FROM MY LAST VISIT TO THE SHOP ITS BACK IN. THERE ARE NO RECALLS HOWEVER THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING IF I PRESS ON THE GAS IT RANDOMLY DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE OR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE. AT ONE POINT THIS LEFT ME IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT OR EVEN KILLED IF THE CAR DRIVING TOWARD ME HAD NOT SLOWED DOWN. WHILE ON THE FREEWAY I WENT FROM 65MPH TO STRUGGLING TO GET TO 20-40 MPH AND HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE AFTER A 15MIN FREEWAY DRIVE IT REFUSING TO ACCELERATE WHEN TURNING ONTO A MAIN STREET AFTER A SHORT STOP. AFTER MULTIPLE REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND READING ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. PLEASE RECALL!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE PROGRESSING WITH THE CVT, WHICH CAUSED A STRONG JERKING VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO SLOW TO CHANGE GEARS WHILE SHIFTING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO CHANGE GEARS FROM DRIVE INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE TO TRY TO PREVENT THE FAILURE, WHICH HAD NOT WORKED IN MOST INSTANCES WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER (CONYERS NISSAN, 1420 IRIS DR. SW, CONYERS, GA 30094, (678) 233-2448) INITIALLY STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN/TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTED THE DEALER NOT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY AND TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY. THE VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AND, WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS OF OBTAINING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER, THE CONDITION WORSENED AND THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE UPON CHANGING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A WARRANTY CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER AWAITING REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TT

I HAVE GOTTEN 6 RECALLS FOR MY CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT 3 MONTHS AGO FROM CROWLY KIA IN BRISTOL CT. 5 OF THE RECALLS ARE FOR AIRBAGS AND 1 OF THEM IS FOR THE ELECTRICAL AND THEY ALL POPPED UP ON MY CREDIT KARMA ACCOUNT ALL IN RED, SO I'M TAKING THAT AS THEY NEED TO BE FIXED AND I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT NON OF THEM ARE SHOWING UP IN THEIR DATA BASE BUT WHY DO I HAVE THEM ON CREDIT KARMA ALL IN RED? I HAVE THEM ALL PRINTED UP WITH THE CAMPAIGN NUMBER AND RECALL ID NUMBER AND CREDIT KARMA IS TELLING ME THAT THEY NEED TO BE FIX WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE IN RED AND NOT GREEN. SO CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CALL ME AND EXPLAIN THIS TO ME AND I CAN TELL THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH IS ONE OF MY RECALLS. MY NUMBER IS (860)776-8239

BRAKES HAVE UNUSUALLY LONG PEDAL TRAVEL COMING TO A FULL STOP. AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP, ADDITIONAL PRESSURE IS REQUIRED TO KEEP THE CAR FROM DRIFTING FORWARD. INCIDENT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY. WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED, WITH A REBUILT TITLE. I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AT A GARAGE, AND HAD THE LINES BLED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO AIR IN THE LINES. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA ON THE INTERSTATE..IT STARTED JUMPING AND JERKING..I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHECKED BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM..WAS TOLD PLUGS WERE FINE.TRIED TO DRIVE IT HOME AND IT JUMPED AND JERKED WORSE..HAD NO POWER AT ALL..WOULD NOT GO OVER 40 MPH..HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP..THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON SO THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.MY CAR HAS BEEN THERE FOR OVER A WEEK AND THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT SHOWING A CODE..THIS CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 61,000 MILES AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS..NOW I AM PAYING FOR A CAR THAT'S NOT DRIVE ABLE..I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT..SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT NISSAN SELLING THESE UNSAFE CARS..

IN THE FUEL PUMP THE WIRE PLUG IS BURNED AND IT MAKES CRACK. BECAUSE OF THAT GAS IS LEAKING.

I WAS ON THR HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH BUT ONCE THE TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN, WITHOUT WARNING I COULD NO LONGER GET GOING ONCE I CAME TO A STOP. THE CAR SQUEELED AND EVEN THOUGH I FLOORED IT, IT STALLED OUT. ONLY AFTER CUTTING THE CAR OFF ANF BACK ON DID IT ALLOW ME TO RESUME BUT IT WAS A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP.
