Vehicle lost transmission power out of nowhere. Would not reverse, nor drive in L gear. I was stuck in the middle of nowhere. I've only had car 45 days. It is at a shop that may or may not fix. I see so many issues and class action stuff. I want and need this fixed

My daughter was driving down the highway and the vehicle just stopped pulling and started coasting. The car would just idle from then on.

While driving, the vehicle’s rpm’s will bounce up and down. When accelerating the vehicle will stutter, transmission slip, or not go when gas pedal is all the way down. This has left me in the middle of intersections when the light is turning red, it’s has had me on one lane roads being unable to move. The vehicle can be in motion and just stop risking an accident. I have had the codes checked due to check engine light being on. Check engine light has not been accurate with readings. From one day to the next the codes will change. After the transmission went out it finally read codes related to the transmission. After making the suggested fixes it still functions the same. Prior to getting code related to the transmission the vehicle indicated that there was something wrong with the fuel system. I have had a certified mechanic look at my vehicle confirming the above. The codes read on multiple occasions and fixing what was suggested has not made any difference.

The transmission quit working in rush our traffic in St. Louis, Missouri. The incident nearly caused a severe accident, if it hadn't been for two alert drivers during rush hour. After sitting for approximate sixty minutes waiting for a tow truck. Just before the the tow truck arrive another tow driver was going to pick up another vehicle "he stop to help." The tow driver was going to tow the vehicle. He was testing to see what the problem. As he started the vehicle he put it in drive and nothing happen. After a few minutes it jump in gear. The vehicle was driven home with loosing power, surging, and RPM going up without acceleration. This happen in late November. The car continued to jerk, stall, and loose power over long trips. The car was taken to the dealership but they could do nothing until they put a device on it to read codes. This was completed December 20, 2021, I was notified to drive the vehicle for several days up to a week and bring it back to them. The vehicle was picked up and drove per dealership instruction. The car was returned after Christmas. The tech perform a TCM update. They tested and drove the vehicle with myself in the car. The manager concluded the car had transmission problems that pointed to the transmission but it would not reveal a code. Until they get a code or approval from Nissan there was nothing they could. On about January 28, 2022, I was instructed to pick up the car. Also, I was instructed the car was unsafe to drive. It was bitter cold

I bought this car with the understanding that it was in drivable condition with no major problems bought in 2017 now in 2022 there is a problem with the CVT transmission which I have just learned had been in several class action suits I took it to the dealership who only took it for a drive and said they heard a weird noise. Then I was informed it needed the transmission replace at a cost of over $4000 which I don’t have they told me my warranty was expired and the extended warranty given by Nissan was no good either they offered to give me $1000 to buy my car I still owe $9000 on it and then proceeded to try and sell me another car. They didn’t care about me nor my problem. I never got any information about any class action lawsuit. I feel that they were deceptive and hid the truth from me about this defective transmission. I want a replacement with no cost to me. I would not have bought this model if I was told about this major defect.

My transmission messed up today, not sure exactly sure what is it yet. From what the into I gathered today, my RPM goes over 1 through 2(+) thousand up while my MPH either barely moves or stays the same. When parking my car in my driveway, I noticed my car moving forward while the gear it's on is Reverse.

After getting my transmission serviced, my car started jerking often and lagging on speed from 0-35. Once hitting 40 mph, it would create a loud rev up and a rough kick back. It has stalled out and started up numerous times while sitting in freeway traffic and traffic light controlled intersections to the point that I had to move it and park somewhere safe for 10 mins for it to restart then stall out again a few mins later down the road.

The transmission in my vehicle is not working and I see there has been a known issue on models from 2013-2017. I would like this repaired, please.

My Nissan Sentra is constantly “jerking” and “stalling” when accelerating. It’s not coming to speed and completely stopping in traffic. The vehicle seems like it’s struggle to switch gears and giving problems with the transmission. This is a very dangerous issue that needs to be resolved.

The contact's wife owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while the vehicle was stationary, the steering wheel was loose and unable to lock into position. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT, BILLS PAID, WORK COMPLETED AND INFORMATION IS ATTACHED TO THIS DOCUMENT. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I'm driving my car on the freeway and it's stalls. I barely made it to the shoulder. I waited a few minutes and drove again. Went a few miles, and again, it stalled. I made it to a safe place. Had my car towed to a mechanic. They said it was the CVT transmission.

The component which has failed is the CVT Transmission. It can be available and has been inspected upon request. The safety is for myself, my son, and other drivers on the roads because the transmission could cause hesitation as it did previoiusly without warning while in operation causing a possible collision. The problem has been confirmed by the manufacturer. The component has been inspected by the delaer on behalf of the manufacturer. There were no warning lamps this time because the dealer stated the code found during the diagnostic check indicates the transmission is not communicating with the vehicle computer so that the warning lamp would indicate there is a problem. The transmission was replaced February 2021. However, after only being driven 21, 263 miles this transmission is malfunctioning and is defective.

The airbag sensor fails to register the weight of a grown adult in the passenger seat. I have brought my car into a Nissan dealership to get this issue checked out, but I was told that there is no issue. I first noticed this issue approximately 5 years ago and has occasionally occured since. If the airbag sensor does not light up when there is a passenger (who is over 100 lbs and over 13 y/o) and does not deploy the airbag in the event of an accident, the passenger of my car could be seriously injured or killed.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the vehicle would hesitate upon depression of the accelerator pedal as the check engine warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while his wife was driving 30 MPH, the driver’s side door inadvertently opened. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact's wife veered to the side of the road, locked the driver's side door, and continued to drive the vehicle. The contact also stated that the driver’s side door would not totally latch upon closing. Additionally, the door handles were fractured, preventing them from easily accessing the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the door handles needed to be replaced. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V453000 (Latches/Locks/Linkages). The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance because the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer opened a case. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.

Transmission malfunction. The car will reduced speed putting me on risk of getting hit in the back and someone colliding with me due the reduction of speed and the slowness of the car to start to gain speed. There was some jerking as gas pedal was pressed down and will slow down and then gain speed before it completely slow down to the point it will not go beyond 40 miles per hour. The car was inspected by the Nissan dealership where the car was bought and transmission is failing internally according to their findings. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership. There were no warning/message prior to this problem.

On Saturday, 25 SEP 2021, my wife and I departed San Clemente, CA, at 3:30 AM enroute to Idaho Falls, ID. We were driving my son and daughter-in-law’s 2015 Nissan Sentra with approximately 62,000 miles on the odometer. The car contained my wife and me along with 2 suitcases. At approximately 5:00 AM we approached the Cajun Pass, heading north on I15 North, going 70mph with the cruise control engaged. The crest of Cajun pass is approximately 3800 ft and the base of the pass is approximately 1100 ft, thus a rise of 2700 feet in a relatively short distance. As the 2015 Nissan Sentra began to ascend the Cajun Pass, the engine RPMs raised to 3700 RPM, but then the cruise control disengaged and the car lost power. I merged to the right into the Truck Lane and could only go 30-35 mph. Additionally, the engine RPMs would oscillate between 3700-3900, even though my foot maintained a steady pressure on the gas pedal. After we reached the top of Cajun Pass, I15 North actually descends and the2015 Nissan Sentra could then again be driven at 70-75 mph. For the remainder of trip on I15 North from Cajun Pass to Idaho Falls, there are approximately 10 steep grades where Trucking Lanes are provided. In each and every of those cases, the 2015 Nissan Sentra exhibited the exact symptoms it exhibited on Cajun Pass – the car lost power, could only be driven at 30-35 mph, and the engine RPMs oscillated between 3700-3900 RPM, even though the speed was constant and the gas pedal was depressed with th

My check engine light keeps coming on and off and I fixed the so called problem already

Was in a car accident and totaled the car, however the air bags never deployed.

The 2015 Nissan Sentra SV has issues with stalling during driving, not accelerating over a certain MPR but RPM continues to get higher, and the car seeming to jerk when in drive. The transmission seems to slip. There are no indicators for check engine that has came on prior to these events taking place. Very unsafe driving on the highway when these situations occur. Has had multiple diagnostics done and nothing has been solved.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle would shudder after accelerating and stalled. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who performed a transmission flush and replaced the fluid filters. However, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic and diagnosed as transmission failure. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall related to the failure and to take the vehicle in for diagnosis. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall related to the failure and referred the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

I initially owned a 2014 Nissan Sentra, which was a lemon, Nissan repurchased a 2015.. The transmission went into the car, and car slips gears when driving. I feel complicated unsafe in this vehicle. Please advise.

CVT went in the car4

I GOT IT CHECK BY MECHANIC AND THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING, CAR IS MAKING NOISE, IS JUMPING AND ONLY HAS 90,000 MILES I BOUGHT IT WITH 37,000 ON 2016 I THINK IS TOO SOON FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO BRAKE. IS THERE ANY HELP FROM NISSAN TO GET MY CAR FIX

When I am pulling out into traffic or any stop and go, I press the gas pedal and sporadically there is a hesitation with the car acceleration. At times I am crossing a lane and traffic is coming and my car hesitated. Very scary thinking I may get t boned.

CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. VEHICLE WAS JERKING, WOULD CHANGE SHIFTS, DIDN'T WANT TO GO OVER 20 AND THEN COULDN'T GET IT TO RUN. CAR TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN AT A LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY PUTTING IN DANGER SINCE DROPPED SPEED AND HAD HARD TIME GOING UP BRIDGES. THEN IT DID IT IN CITY LIMITS. STOP SIGNS AND AT LIGHTS.

WHEN DRIVING THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WON'T LATCH CORRECTLY. WHEN DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 45-60 MPH YOU CAN HEAR A NOISE LIKE AIR IS COMING INSIDE THE CAR. ESPECIALLY ON A VERY WINDY DAY THE NOISE IS LOUDER AND IT FEELS LIKE THE DOOR WILL OPEN.

AT 80,000 MILE MARK CAR WOULD SPUTTER ON HIGHWAY WHEN ACCELERATING, RPM FLARING, ENGINE WOULD REV UP ON HIGHWAY WHEN ACCELERATING. CAR WOULD ALSO JUDDER. SEEMS CLEARLY A CVT ISSUE.

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF OF THE CAR HAS STARTED CHIPPING AND PEELING FOR NO REASON. THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE CAR WHATSOEVER. THE PAINT JUST ONE DAY STARTED PEELING AND CHIPPING.

THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING OK BUT THEN OUT OF NOWHERE THE CAR JUST STOPPED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT COULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION FAILING. HAD TO PAY $225 TO GET IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE AT 1:00 AM THEN ANOTHER $150 TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALER TO GET A DIAGNOSIS FOR NISSAN. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS/ 84,000 MILES. I AM STILL WITHIN THE 7 YEAR TIMEFRAME BUT I HAVE 86,439 MILES ON MY CAR. ONE ORIGINAL OWNER BEFORE ME. CLEAN CAR FAX REPORT AND THE CAR WAS DRIVEN MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. I HAVE HAD IT A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND A HALF AND BARELY PUT 10,000 MILES ON IT. THIS CAR STOPPED WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. SHE IS VERY LUCKY THAT NOTHING BAD HAPPENED TO HER. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND NISSAN HAS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THESE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND EVENTUALLY SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE BECAUSE OF THIS. I FEEL THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THIS REPAIR AS THEY KNOWINGLY ARE SELLING THESE VEHICLES WITH TRANSMISSIONS AND THEY HAVE CAUSED MORE PROBLEMS FOR MORE PEOPLE. I HAVE AN OPEN CASE WITH NISSAN BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS OR NOT.

VEHICLE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 65-70 MPH RPM STARTS GOING UP AND DOWN SPEED STARTS TO DECREASE AS I PRESS TO ACCELERATE VEHICLE STARTS DECREASING SPEED NOT WANTING TO GO OVER 65 MPH AND RPM CONTINUES TO FLUCTUATE BACK AND FORTH FROM 3RPM TO 2 RPM LIKE IT WANTS TO GO FASTER BUT CAN'T. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WEEK. THIS MORNING 2/18/21 STATIONED WAITING ON LIGHT TO CHANGE WHEN I PULL OFF THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN PROCEEDING TO PULL OF FROM STATIONED POSITION. THIS HAPPENS EVEN IN THE CRUISE POSITION.

FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION. I NEED THEM TO REPLACE IT WAITING ON CORPORATE TO RESPOND. IF NOTHING IS DOWN I'LL SEEK A LAWYER

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR STARTED SLOWING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THEN ON THE ROAD, IT WOULD TREMBLE AND STUTTER. NOT SAFE AT ALL I COULD'VE BEEN HIT
