I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING I GOT REALLY SCARED BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON I HAD MY SMALLER SIBLINGS WITH ME THAT DAY AND THOUGHT THE WORST WHEN THE TOWING TRUCK PICKED MY CAR UP AND I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND THAT THESE NISSAN 2013 SENTRAS WERE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS PROBLEMS AND THAT I WAS NOT THE FIRST IN THIS PAST MONTHS. *TR

I PURCHASED FOUR SUMI TOUR PLUS LSW TIRES IN OCTOBER 2016. IN OCTOBER 2018, A BULGE WAS DISCOVERED IN ONE OF THE SIDEWALLS. THE COMPANY I BOUGHT THE TIRES FROM SUGGESTED THE TIRE MUST HAVE BEEN DAMAGED BY A POTHOLE (EVEN THOUGH I LIVE IN FLORIDA WHERE THERE ARE FEW, IF ANY, POTHOLES.) IN APRIL 2020, ANOTHER BULGE WAS DISCOVERED IN ONE OF THE THREE REMAINING ORIGINAL TIRES. BOTH BULGES OCCURRED WITH THE TIRES HAVING LESS THAN THE 50,000 MILE WARRANTY. I CONTACTED THE TIRE MANUFACTURER AND WAS TOLD THE BULGES WERE "IMPACT BUBBLES," WHICH IS NOT A DEFECT, BUT A ROAD HAZARD. I FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE, AS I HAVE HIT POTHOLES IN THE PAST THAT HAVE ACTUALLY DENTED MY RIM, BUT NEVER HAVE I HAD BULGES OCCUR IN THE TIRES THEMSELVES IN ALL MY YEARS OF DRIVING...LET ALONE TWO BULGES IN UNDER TWO YEARS. *TR *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA (54,000 MILES) TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT NEW FOR DIAGNOSIS. WAS ADVISED FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CODE NOT BEING READ CORRECTLY SO FUEL PUMP NEEDS REPLACED. ESTIMATE $671 AND MY DIAGNOSIS WAS $145. I CALLED NISSAN BECAUSE THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL, BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. THE FUEL PUMP SHOULD LAST 125,000 MILES! VERY DISSAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN, THEY SAID SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY COULD NOT OFFER ANYTHING. NOW I'M JUST WAITING FOR THE WELL-DOCUMENTED TRANSMISSION FAILURE TO HAPPEN. THIS WAS MY FIRST NEW CAR EVER, AND I CAREFULLY RESEARCHED IT BEFORE PURCHASE. THEY CERTAINLY AREN'T MAKING THIS CUSTOMER FEEL TAKEN CARE OF BY NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPLACING THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP.

I BOUGHT MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SR FROM TOWNE AUTO BROKERS 03/2013 I TEST DROVE IT AND IT HAD NO SHIFTING PROBLEMS AT THAT TIME. 2 WEEKS LATER WHILE I'M DRIVING IT THE SENTRA STARTED JERKING AND IDLING ERRATICALLY, THE RPM TACHOMETER RED LINED 3 TIMES WITHOUT THE GAS PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED!! WHILE REDLINING THE SENTRA'S TRANSMISSION SHUDDER WITH THE ERRATIC JERKING ALL THE WHILE DECELERATING BEFORE CATCHING 3RD GEAR AT 4,000 RPM. I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC 3 MILES FROM HOME SO I DECIDED TO TRY AND MAKING IT HOME. WHILE STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT THE SENTRA IDLED NORMAL, THEN AT THE GREEN LIGHT WHEN I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL NOTHING HAPPENED( NO POWER AT ALL AND THE RPM DIDN'T RISE) I WAS LITERALLY STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION NOT ABLE TO MOVE MY NISSAN SENTRA UNDER ITS OWN POWER!!! I'M AFRAID THAT THIS IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS WELL AWARE OF BEFORE INSTALLATION IN NISSAN SENTRA AND ALL OTHER MODELS WITH THIS CVT TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THE NISSAN CORPORATION SHOULD RECALL ALL CVT TRANSMISSION DUE TO MECHANICAL FAILURE RESULTING IN LACK OF POWER.

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR CONTINUES TO JERK AND JERK AS I TRIED TO GIVE THE CAR GAS. IT WOULD SPUTTER AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN JUMP REALLY QUICK. IT FINALLY GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I GOT STUCK AT TWO LIGHTS! I FINALLY GOT MY DESTINATION AND GOT STUCK ON THE HILL. MY FOOT WAS ALL THE WAY ON THE GAS PEDAL AND SOME KIND GENTLEMEN PUSHED MY CAR UP THE HILL SO I COULD PARK IT. IT'S VERY SCARY AS I HAD MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME AND FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO HAPPEN IT PUTS ALL OF OUR LIVES IN DANGER. I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENED. ANY TIME O WOULD COME TO A STOP IT WOULD STALL AND IT WOULD NOW ALLOW ME TO TURN. THE ACCELERATION WOULD NOT WORK. I HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF TWICE TO TRY AND SEE IF IT WOULD RESTART AND GIVE ME ENOUGH PUSH TO MY DESTINATION. BUT AS STATED MY FOOT WAS COMPLETELY ON THE GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH!
