2013 Nissan Sentra complaints

MY CAR WAS JERKING WHEN I WAS GOING IN REVERSE AT FIRST. NOW AS I AM GOING FORWARD IT STARTED JERKING. BROUGHT MY CAR IN AND WAS TOLD IT IS MY TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IS A NISSAN SENTRA 2013 WITH 70,800 MILES CURRENTLY ON IT.

LAST FRIDAY THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA STOPPED WORKING WITH 30,024 MILES ON THE CAR. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT WHEN IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE, SO SHE PULLED OVER. SHE SAID IT WOULD NOT MOVE FWD OR REV AFTER THAT. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND ALWAYS TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR ALL SERVICE.

MY CAR HAS AROUND 78000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY DIED AND I NEED A NEW ONE. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND NORMALLY TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 10 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN 4... I AM EXTREMELY UPSET SINCE I OWE 10,000 ON THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE STREET AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. NISSAN KNEW THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND NOW THEY WILL NOT FIX IT DUE TO SAYING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE AND NEED TO COME UP WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. 2013 NISSAN SENTRA TRANSMISSIONS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND PAID FOR BY NISSAN DUE TO SELLING CARS THAT THEY KNOW ARE NO GOOD.

FIRST IS WAS THE A/C WENT OUT FRIST THEN THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHEN ME MY HUSBAND WAS HEADED TO WORK ONE DAY THE A EIGHTEEN WHEELER ALMOST RAM INTO USE BECAUSE THE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WOULDN'T GO ANY WHERE.

MY CAR HAD BEEN "SOFT STALLING" FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS - IT WOULD KEEP RUNNING, BUT AT JUST ABOUT ANY SPEED/DRIVING CONDITION, WOULD EITHER EXPERIENCE A STRUGGLE TO ACCELERATE/MAINTAIN SPEED (RPMS UP TO 6,000 WITH NO WARNING/REASON), START TO DROP SPEED, OR HESITATE/KICK BACK AT ME. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC ON WED, 7/28, AND ON THURS, 7/29, HE TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED COMPLETELY, THAT IT WAS CYCLING THROUGH GEARS, AND DROPPING GEARS RANDOMLY. HE SAID THAT HE SPOKE WITH NISSAN, AND BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY MILES (72K VS 60K), THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY DON'T ISSUE REPAIR KITS FOR THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION, AND A RE-MANUFACTURED CVT WOULD BE $3900, WITH PARTS AND LABOR. I OWED $6000 ON THAT CAR, AND WAS FORCED TO JUNK IT. NISSAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DENY WARRANTY CLAIMS ON THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AS THEY'RE AN ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM IN OTHER MODELS.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS AND EVERY COUPLE MONTHS WHILE IDLING IT WILL TURN OFF. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR WON'T GO OVER 15 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN AND NO ONE CAN GIVE ME AN ANSWER. IT'S HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY ROADS AND I AM LUCKY I HAVE BEEN HURT YET. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT FOR ME THANKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACTED OBSERVED THAT THE RPMS INCREASED TO 7 RPMS AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (BATTLES NISSAN, 60 MACARTHUR BLVD, BOURNE, MA, 02532) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 67,000. *CN

THE VEHICLE HAS ONE OWNER, USED ON DAILY ROUTE TO WORK AND A FEW SHORT TRIPS. 67,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO REV UP AND DOWN 500 RPMS TO MAINTAIN SPEED. PROBLEM CEASED WHILE IN CRUISE CONTROL. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. WITHIN TWO DAYS BEFORE GETTING IT SERVICED, THE CONDITION WORSENED. THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP AT SLOW SPEEDS, ALL CONDITIONS, WITH THE FLUCTUATING RPMS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BEING 1500 RPMS. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A PRESSURE MALFUNCTION IN THE TRANSMISSION. IT DESTROYED THE INNER WORKINGS OF THE TRANSMISSION. DEBRIS FROM THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE FLUID, AND THE FLUID WAS SEVERELY BURNED. THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $4200.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION. THE FIRST TIME IT HAD HAPPEN IT WAS AROUND APRIL 2017 ON A HOT DAY. I THOUGHT MAYBE ME TURNING THE AIR ON PLUS WITH THE HEAT THAT IT WAS THE REASON FOR THE MALFUCTION, BUT THEN IT DID IT AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE I WAS TURNING ONTO A BUSY INTERSECTION. I TOOK IT TO A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE TO ASK IF HE HAD ANY KNOWN SOLUTIONS TO WHY I AM LOSING ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY. SO FOR A WHILE IT WAS DRIVING NORMAL...AT LEAST I THOUGHT. MY DAUGHTER HAD USED THE VEHICLE AND I FORGOT TO TELL HER ABOUT THE ACCELERATION ISSUE, BUT SHE ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE LOST OF ACCELERATION. I THEN STARTED PAYING MORE ATTENTION AND WAS GOING TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE PROFESSIONAL TO GET IT LOOKED AT.UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT GET IT LOOKED AT FAST ENOUGH AS THE ACCELERATION WENT OUT AGAIN AND CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. AS I WAS DRIVING AND COMING AROUND A CURVE THE ACCELERATION ONCE AGAIN LEFT AND AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST HIT THE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES TO TRY TO GET IT TO REV UP SO THAT I CAN DRIVE. ONLY THIS TIME AND AFTER HITTING THE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES IT JERKED AND REV HARD WHICH STARTLED ME AND I LOSS CONTROL OF THE CAR. MY CAR FLIPPED OVER 3 TIMES. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I SURVIVED. PUZZLED AND TRYING TO GET MY SELF BACK ON MY FEET I STARTED TO RESEARCH WHAT POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE BEEN WRONG WITH THAT CAR ONLY TO LEARN THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO EXPERIENCED THIS WITH SENTRAS. I AM GLAD OTHERS WAS SAFE,

IN VERY HOT WEATHER THE CAR WILL SHAKE WHEN STOPPING OR SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND OCCASIONALLY THE ENGINE WILL STOP. THE ENGINE HAS ALSO STOPPED WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ON VERY HOT DAYS.

VEHICLE WILL NOT CHANGE SHIFT GEARS UNLESS THE SHIFT LOCK BUTTON IS USED.

CAR STALLS IN THE FREEWAY 3 TIMES WITH NO APPARENT REASON.TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS TO HOT AND THE CARS STALLS.FINALLY SOLD IT TO AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.CAR ONLY HAD 10,000 THOUSAND MILES.THIS CAR IS A LEMON CAR.I ALMOST GOT KILLED TWICE.JUST STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY.NOTIFIED DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOT CARE.

FIRST HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP AT 29,000 MILES, THEN ON A TRIP TO KEY WEST, THE CAR, STARTS TO JERKS AND LOSES ACCELERATION, COULDN'T ACCELERATE DO TO THE GAS PEDAL UNABLE TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, KEPT PRESSING UNTIL IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. HAD TO TURN AROUND AND HEAD HOME. THIS VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND 30,000.

2013 NISSAN SENTRA TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 78,600 MILES WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHILE WE WERE TRAVELING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY ON THE WAY HOME FROM A LONG ROAD TRIP. WHILE DRIVING AT AN SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 70-75 MPH IN TN ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE BEGAN DECELERATE AND THE RPM'S JUST KEPT REVVING UP. IT WAS JUST ME (A FEMALE) AND MY TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER WITH MY HAZARDS ON TRYING TO AVOID BEING HIT BY A TRANSFER TRUCK AND SEVERAL VEHICLES. I SHUT THE CAR OFF TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WAS AFRAID OF WHAT JUST OCCURRED. I STARTED THE ENGINE BACK AND IT BEGAN DRIVING FINE FOR ABOUT 10 MINS ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN IT DECELERATED AGAIN NEAR THE ATLANTA AREA AND TOTALLY DRIVING POWER. I WAS 3 HOURS FROM HOME AND HAD TO CALL FOR HELP. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING AND ADVISED THEM OF THE ISSUE AND ENGINE CODES RECEIVED FROM AN AUTO STORE. I THEN CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND THEY ADVISED TO SIMPLY TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR SINCE IT WAS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED US A PRICE OF $3600 BEFORE TAXES AND ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH CVT TRANSMISSIONS BUT THAT'S JUST THE NATURE OF THEM. I HAVE CONCERNS THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER REVIEW AND IN DEPTH RESEARCH OF THE FAULTY TRANSMISSION ISSUES SEVERAL NISSAN OWNERS HAVE FACED IN THE PAST FEW YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, THE COST EFFECTIVENESS

THE OCS DOES NOT DETECT AN ADULT OCCUPANT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS DEACTIVATED. FAILURE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO DEPLOY DURING A CRASH (WHERE DEPLOYMENT IS WARRANTED) COULD INCREASE THE RISK INJURY OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGER. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ESCALATED TO THE ELK GROVE NISSAN REPAIR CENTER MULTIPLE TIMES. ELK GROVE INFORMED ME THEY RESET THE PROGRAMMING OF THE SENSOR AND UNINSTALLED AND INSTALLED THE SEAT TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE CONTINUES TO OCCUR ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED ON A NON LEVEL SURFACE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.

MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SL IS OVER REVING CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES, IM HAVING TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN VEHICLE OFF FOR IT TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY. THIS ISSUE IS ON GOING EVERY SINGLE DAY WHEN I DRIVE.

THE VEHICLE WONT STOP AT TIMES. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUMPED. AT TIMES WHEN BRAKING THE CAR THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND TRIES TO CREEP EVEN WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED. VERY BAD FEELING-HAD NEW PADS AND ROTORS JUST INSTALLED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT HAD TO EXERT ADDITIONAL PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED AT 34,000 MILES, JUST GOT THE DIAGNOSIS DONE ON IT TODAY. COULDN'T ACCELERATE IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, RPMS STUCK. A FEW WEEKS LATER, WAS GOING DOWNHILL AND CAR SPEEDED UP, AGAIN RPMS STUCK. THIS WAS ON A COUNTRY ROAD

TAKATA RECALL. DRIVING FROM HOME FROM A ROAD TRIP, I STOPPED TO GET GAS ABOUT 300 MILES FROM HOME WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION TO GET BACK ON HE INTERSTATE! IM FURIOUS IVE ONLY HAD THIS 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SR FOR 3 GOING ON FOUR YEARS AND TO HEAR THAT MY TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED IS RIDICULOUS!! IVE ONLY OWNED NISSANS AND FOR MY TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT ON ME IN SUCH A SHORT TIME IS TERRIBLE. THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS NEED TO REPLACED ASAP. I CAN NOT COME OUT OF POCKET $4,500 TO REPLACE THIS TRANSMISSION, THE SAD PART IS I STILL OWE ON THE CAR!! HELP, PLEASE.

THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS SLIPPING. THE CAR HAS 77,000 MILES ON IT AND THE DEALER IS STATING THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION IS $4,800. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE A LOT OF NISSAN OWNERS ARE HAVING WITH DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION AND NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN YU TAKE OFF & IT GETS UP IN SPEED THE CAR JERK. WHEN YOU STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN & THEN GO, IT JERK LIKE IT'S TRYING TO TAKE OFF. BUT IT BARELY MOVE & JERK PRETTY HARD. IT SEEM LIKE THE CAR TRANSMISSION IS NOT CHANGING OUT. WHILE THE CAR IS JERKING WHEN YOU TAKE OFF. IT'S LIKE THE IDLES UP & DOWN. WHEN YOU BRAKE IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU WALKING ON SQUEAKY HARD WOOD FLOOR. THE AIRBAG DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.I

WHILE DRIVING 50-60 MPH, THE CAR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY HOWEVER, IT REQUIRED ME TO PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE IN ORDER TO GO. THE DEALER INDICATED ITS A CVT ISSUE, WHICH MAY BE SUFFERING FROM A 'CVT BELT SLIP CONDITION,' WHICH IS THE FAILURE OF THE CHAIN DRIVE TO TRANSFER POWER THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION AND ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE.THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION (UNDER WARRANTY) AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING. THE DEALER NOW HAS THE CAR TO DISCUSS WITH NISSAN THE NEXT STEPS.

INTERMITTANT ENGINE MISFIRE, CAR WILL SHUT ENGINE OFF WHILE DRIVING OR RAMP UP RPM CAUSING CAR TO JERK FORWARD. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING 45 MPH GIING AROUND CURVE WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF , SHE COAST TO SIDE OF ROAD. RESTARTED AND ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING. CHECK ENGINE FLASHED AND THEN WENT STEADY. DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED P02 CYC 2 MISFIRE. CYC 2 COIL REPLACED AND NOW TWO WEEKS LATER THE CAR IS MISFIRING, JERKING ENGINE WAS ON, DROVE TO NISSAN DEALER THEY RUN DIAGNOSTIC AND IT CAME BACK WITH NO CODES IN HISTORY.

TAKATA RECALL. THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT ON ME THREE TIMES SINCE DECEMBER 30, 2016. THE MOST RECENT AS OF 04/03/2017. I ALMOST GOT KILLED EACH TIME ON THE FREEWAY. I WOULD BE GOING 65 MPH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY AND IT WOULD DROP TO 45MPH AND EVENTUALLY COULD NOT FUNCTION. NISSAN JUST REPLACES THE TRANSMISSION BUT THEY KEEP BREAKING. THEREFORE THEY KEEP FAILING AT FIXING THE PROBLEM WITHIN MY VEHICLE AND PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE. IT IS CONSIDERED A LEMON AND THEY AGREED WHICH IS WHY THEY GAVE ME THE OPTION FOR THEM TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK FROM ME OR EXCHANGE IT. I CHOSE FOR THEM TO GIVE ME MY REFUND. I WANT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS LIKE IT BECAUSE THEY RISKED MY LIFE MORE THAN ONCE AND THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE. THEY'RE ARE FAMILIES IN THESE VEHICLES AND THEY'RE LIVES SHOULD NOT BE AT STAKE LIKE THIS. I RESEARCHED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS SUFFERED WITH THIS SITUATION WITH THE SAME MAKE AS MY CAR. I HAVE INVOICES THAT I CAN PROVIDE IF NEEDED. PLEASE TAKE ACTION ON THIS. THANK YOU.

THE NISSAN SENTRA ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE AT ANY GIVING MOMENT ON THE CITY STREET IN MOTION, AT A STOP SIGN HIGHWAY TURNING IT SHAKES AND JERKS WHEN EVER IN MOTION THE BRAKES LOCK UP THE VEHICLE REV AND THE RPM METER SURGE UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING NONE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS WORK THE VEHICLE IS VERY DANGEROUS TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES THEY SAID I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE GOT THE OIL CHANGE STILL DIDN'T HELP TOOK THE CAR BACK UP THERE THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AGAIN AND SAID IT NEEDED A TRANSMISSION AND I SAID HOW NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON THE GUY SAID THEY WANT COME ON UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE AND THE SHIFT LEVER WONT SHIFT IN GEAR WITHOUT PUTTING AN OBJECT IN THE LITTLE SQUARE HOLE NEXT TO THE LEVER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND DECELERATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED AND CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE BRAKE SENSOR AND FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,915.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOY BASED WIRE CABLE HARNESSES HAD BEEN CHEWED AND FRACTURED BY RODENTS AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH MORE SOY BASED WIRES AND THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD RECUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,059.

BEEN DRIVING THE CAR AND NOTICE I WAS HEARING A BAD ROARING NOISE SOON I HEARD A LOUD POP IN THE BACK OF THE CAR AND WENT TO LOOK AT THE DRUM ON PASSENGER SIDE THE ADJUSTERS SCREW HAD COMPLETELY BROKE IN PEACE 94K MILES BEEN DOING THIS NOISE ON AND OFF AND TRANSMISSION HAS TENDENCY TO FEEL LIKE IT STARTS TO REALLY HESITATE BADLY.

A FEW TIMES WHEN STOPPED AT THE TOP OF A HILL, UPON PROCEEDING TO ACCELERATE INTO A TURN, MY CAR WOULD JERK FORWARD LIKE I WAS BEING REAR-ENDED. THE SECOND ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, WHILE ACCELERATING, IT WOULD RANDOMLY START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. IT WAS HARD TO PIN-POINT AT EXACTLY WHAT SPEED THIS OCCURRED, BUT I'D GUESS AROUND 40 MPH. WHEN I WOULD RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL THE SHUDDERING WOULD STOP. ALTHOUGH THE CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION, SOMETIMES IT WOULD FEEL LIKE THE CAR WOULD SHIFT GEARS AND THE CAR WOULD RUMBLE SLIGHTLY. I'D SAY THIS OCCURRED AROUND 40 MPH AS WELL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEARNED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 75,000 MILES ON IT. IN DOING SOME INITIAL RESEARCH, I'VE LEARNED THE PATHFINDERS MADE IN 2013 ALSO HAD SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS,THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE ACCELERATION FAILURE AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF AN AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR RECALL. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE PER THE RECALL, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE RECALL INFORMATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 33,000.

RECALLS FOR THE FOLLOWING: 1) TAKATA RECALL; 2) MFG. RECALL #R1608 ; 3) NHTSA RECALL #16V-24; AND 4) THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM(OCS) DESIGNED TO CLASSIFY THE SIZE/WEIGHT OF FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, AND UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS, AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. OCS SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TON ONLY DEPLOY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WHEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. THE OCS SOFTWARE MAY INCORRECTLY CLASSIFY THE PASSENGER SEAT AS EMPTY WHEN IT'S OCCUPIED. IF CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM (CRS) IS INSTALLED IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE SEAT BELT BRACKET COULD DEFORM AND AIRBAG MAY NOT DEACTIVATE AS DESIGNED. FAILURE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG TO DEPLOY DURING A CRASH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PASSENGER. IF SEAT BELT BRACKET DEFORMS, THIS MAY INCREASE RISK OF INJURY TO CHILD SITTING IN A CRS INSTALLED IN THE FRONT SEAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE CHEST AND WRIST, BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V242000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,488.

WHEN IDLING IN DRIVE, REVERSE, OR LOW, THE VEHICLE STALLS WITH THE RPMS DROPPING BELOW 630. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO FAULT CODES ARE FOUND ON OBDII SCANNERS. TRANSMISSION IS LATE TO ENGAGE WHEN ACCELERATING. RIGHT BEFORE STALLING, CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD AND SHAKE. HAPPENS WHEN THE ENGINE IS WARM AND COLD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR PARKED, THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON WARMER DAYS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. ...UPDATED 05/11/17 *BF *AS

EARLIER LAST MONTH BEGAN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES, BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WITH JUST OVER THE 60K WARRANTY MARK. DEALER HAD THE CVT FLUID CHANGED, WHICH HELPED FOR THE NEXT DAY UNTIL THE ISSUES RETURNED. NOW I AM GETTING NO RESPONSE FROM NISSAN USA AND THE DEALER CANNOT FIND THE ISSUES BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS THROWING NO CODES. ALMOST 2 CAR ACCIDENTS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE A PERSON GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT FROM CVT.

ISSUE1: THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) SOFTWARE INCORRECTLY CLASSIFY THE PASSENGER SEAT AS EMPTY, WHEN IT IS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. THIS IS HAPPENING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. THIS LIFE-THREATENING PROBLEM SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRS THE USE AND VALUE OF MY VEHICLE AND ALSO IT CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE BEEN HARASSED BY THE LOCAL DEALER DUE TO THEIR REPEATED INEFFECTIVE ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. ISSUE2: GROANING SOUND FROM BRAKES WHEN DRIVING DOWNHILL. LOCAL DEALER COULDN'T ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

CAR WILL NOT COME FROM PARK TO DRIVE .CAR IS LOCKED INTO PARK.

NOT EVEN 24HRS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR, DID MY ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO GET THE EMISSIONS TEST WHICH FAILED TWICE. I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS THE GAS CAP THAT WAS THEN REPLACED BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO A SMALL LEAK IN THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. EVERYTIME I FILL THE TANK UP THIS LIGHT COMES ON AND I GET THE MESSAGE "FUEL CAP LOOSE" BUT THE CAP HAS BEEN REPLACED AND TIGHTENED

THE DASH SENSOR LIGHT THAT INDICATES WHEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED OFTEN LIGHTS UP WHILE ADULT PASSENGERS ARE IN THE SEAT. TYPICALLY IT TAKES 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING TO RESET THE LIGHT. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY.

I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALER TODAY FOR SERVICE ON TWO RECALLS, THE CVT, AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THESE RECALLS ARE UPDATING THE COMPUTER. ON MY WAY HOME FROM THE DEALER, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. WHEN I WOULD REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND REAPPLIED IT, THERE WAS A LONG DELAY IN THE ACCELERATION. DUE TO THIS DELAY I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE OUT OF THE WAY OF AN ONCOMING CAR. BY BLOWING MY HORN, I GOT THE ATTENTION OF THE OTHER DRIVER AND I AVOIDED THE ACCIDENT. I CALLED THE DEALER AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED. TOMORROW MORNING I AM BRINGING THE CAR BACK IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT.

LUCKILY, I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT MY TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED WORKING OUT OF NOWHERE. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THEN WOULDN'T ACCELERATE ABOVE FIRST GEAR. I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS OF NISSAN CVT'S THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. MANY PEOPLE WERE AFFECTED WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY. NISSAN OFFERED TO COVER HALF OF THE NEW TRANSMISSION AS MINE WAS ONLY 3,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY.

THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM DEALERSHIP, CAR START GIVING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS ABOUT 3 MOTHS AGO, WE JUST HAD IT DIAGNOSED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD AND HAS TO BE REPLACED, THIS CAR HAS ABOUT 87,000 MILES, NO TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE REPLACED AT THIS MILEAGE, AND WE RUN OUT OF THE GUARANTEE. I OWE NISSANS FOR THE LAS 15 YEARS AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLES BEFORE THEY START USING THE CVT (CONTINUES VARIABLE TRANSMISSION), I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2010 ROGUE, HOWEVER THE POWER TRAIN GUARANTY INTO THIS MODEL AND YEAR WAS EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE IN THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION, I BELIEVE THAT NISSAN CONTINUES TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS KIND OF TRANSMISSION AND THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEMS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION HAS A LOT OF HESITATE AND BAD VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT'S DUE TO SMALL EVAP LEAK BUT HAVE REPLACED CAP AND STILL STAYS ON ONCE AWHILE U SMELL GAS FUMES. *TR

WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A BAY AREA BRIDGE, THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION, STARTED TO SLOW DOWN, EVEN WHILE I PUMPED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALER, THEY SAID IT HAD TO DO WITH COOLING FAN. AFTER THAT REPAIR, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES, ALWAYS WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, BUT I FOUND IF I KEPT PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IT WOULD EVENTUALLY START TO SLOWLY ACCELERATE. AFTER A NEAR-ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM AS I DROVE THROUGH SAN JOSE, I TOOK THE CAR BACK IN AND THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. 2 DAYS LATER THE HEAT SHIELD FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. 5 DAYS AFTER THAT, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 40MPH, THE CAR AGAIN LOST POWER, SLOWLY DECELERATING, DESPITE PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO PUMP THE GAS IT FINALLY STARTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, SO I DID NOT PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE BEGAN JERKING. IT ALSO STARTED JUMPING FORWARD WHILE TAKING OFF AND EXPERIENCING HIGH RPMS. IT REQUIRES A NEW TRANSMISSION TO FIX AT ONLY 101,000 MILES. JUST OUT OF EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STRUCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE VERY SERIOUS INJURIES AND THE CONTACT WAS FLOWN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

PURCHASED A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA WITH AROUND 45820 MILES ON IT.2 WEEKS LATER THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT. THEY REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.RECEIVED IT BACK WITH PROBLEMS. RPM WOULD GO UP PAST 5 WHEN ACCELERARING OR PASSING. COMPLAINED AND NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK WAS TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL.. PROBLEM CONTINUES. EVEN HAD A SUPERVISOR TEST DRIVE AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS OUT OF ORDER.CONTACT CORPORATE THEY SEND ME TO A NEW DEALER AND ITS GEARS THAT ARE NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. SOLUTION ANOTHER TRANSMISSION THIS TIME THEY EXPECT ME TO PAY BUT THEY ARE WILLING TO PAY HALF.UNACCEPTABLE FOR A PROBLEM I BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT SINCE RECEIVING THE VEHICLE BACK.OBVIOUS DEFECT IN TRANSMISSION FOR NISAN OR IN MECHANICS THAT WORK FOR THEM
