2013 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

TRANSMISSION VERY SLUGGISH ESPECIALLY TRYING TO ACCELERATE UPHILL. PERIODIC LOST OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. JERKING MOTION WHEN TURNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO HESITATE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE DECIDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE THAT WAY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING UP A HILL AT 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT USED THE PARKING BRAKE TO PARK AT THE BOTTOM THE HILL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NIELSEN NISSAN (59 US-206, STANHOPE, NJ 07874, (973) 347-2200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE TRANSMISSION TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 86,000.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR SHREDDED ITSELF TO BITS IN A DAY AT 86K MILES. IT MADE A VERY MILD GRINDING NOISE GOING INTO WORK IN THE MORNING ON AN EXPRESSWAY AND DRIVING HOME THE SAME NIGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR. REVVING ENGINE WITH NO POWER ONLY FOR IT TO LAUNCH LIKE A ROCKET WITH NO WARNING, TERRIBLE CLUNKING, STALLING, THE WORKS, ESPECIALLY AT A STOP-START. I'VE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE THAT THEY BREAK AROUND 80K MILES AND CHOOSE TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD FAIL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO SHAKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT MANUFACTURER HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

DRIVING IN MOTION ON INTERSTATE GOING 60 AND ALL OF A SUDDEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THEN VIOLENT SHAKES AND JERKS!SCARY AS ALL GET OUT MADE ME SWERVE AND ALMOST HIT TRAFFIC BESIDE ME!! ALSO GOING UP A HILL AND LOST POWER HAD TO STOP IN ROAD TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND!

THE VEHICLE HESITATES SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN ACCCELERATING... AXTS LIKE IT DOESN'T SHIFT OUT RIGHT.... AND BOGS DOWN WHEN ACCELERATING AT NORMAL SPEEDS.

WE HAVE A NISSAN SENTRA 2013, WE'VE CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION WHEN VEHICLE HAD 80,000 MILES (ALMOST ONE YEAR AND A HALF AGO), VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE 30,000 MILES AND IS BROKEN AGAIN, WHILE NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOW THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SHAME ON NISSAN!!! THE WORST PART IS THAT THEIR OWN DEALERS KNOW THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE BECAUSE NISSAN TRANSMISIN BUILDER IS CHEAP AND THEY TEND TO FAIL FOR NO REASON.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES RECENTLY. WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE CAR TO STOP AND THEN TO JERK FORWARD AND SHUDDER. WHEN REVERSING THIS HAS ALSO BECOME AN ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO REACH THE SPEED LIMIT ON A HIGHWAY. EVEN ENTERING NORMAL STREETS IS A CAUSE FOR CONCERN SINCE THE CAR WILL STOP AND SHUDDER SUDDENLY. BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION CONCERNS, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS BAD BUT WAS OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT NISSAN PROVIDED AS A SETTLEMENT IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE WHICH APPEARS TO BE A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION SYSTEM.

I WAS MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STOP PULLING RIGHT WHEN I GOT INTO TRAFFIC. THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK AND WOULD NOT MOVE ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A ACCIDENT BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ANY SPEED AFTER MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO PUT MY BLINKER ON AN MERGE TO THE SHOULDER AND HAD TO RENT A UHAUL TRAILER TO PULL THE CAR HOME. MY CAR ONLY HAVE 132,000 MILES.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN A ROAD GOING 50 MPH WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIPPING AND MINUTES LATER THE CAR STARTED JERKING HEAVILY AND LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING I ONLY HAVE AROUND 130K MILES AND THE CVT TRANSMISSION WENT FROM PERFECTLY FINE TO SPEED WORKING IN A MATTER OF MINUTES
