2013 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING 70MPH WHEN THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO PULL OVER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING. I HAD TO TOW THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW CVT TRANSMISSION. MY CAR ONLY HAS 114,000 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD STILL BE WORKING FINE. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS/CAR WRECKS.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 120,000 MILES AND HAVE DRIVEN IT TO 139,000. I STARTED NOTICING MY TRANSMISSION STALLING AND I REVIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL A COUPLE TIMES REGARDING MY TRANSMISSION BEING RECALLED. I UNFORTUNATELY DON'T HAVE THE LETTER ANYMORE REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION.

I HAD TO PAY OVER $4,000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THEM. THE CVT WAS BAD ON TBESE NISSONS 2012-2017 MODELS.

WHILE IN MOTION THE PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT DID BREAK. THIS ALLOWED THE WHEEL TO BECOME NON RESPONSIVE AND CAUSED THE DRIVE AXLE TO BREAK. IF THE VEHICLE WAS GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AT THE TIME, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SEVERE ACCIDENT TO SAY THE LEAST.

THE CAR JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING, COASTING AND BRAKING. THE RPM NEEDLE MOVES ERRATICALLY. THIS MAKES THE CAR EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS THE JERKING COULD EASILY CAUSE A COLLISION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND PARKING LOTS, BUT I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR ON ANY HIGHWAYS BECAUSE I FEAR THE POSSIBLE OUTCOME. THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AT ONLY 93,000 MILES. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 2 HOURS FROM THE LOCATION OF THE JERKING TO MY HOME.

WHEN DRIVING THIS CAR IT CONSTANTLY JERKS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT ALSO JERKS WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS GOING DOWN A HILL. LAST WEEK WHEN DRIVING TO WORK I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK AND THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE RPM NEEDLE FLEW UP AND GOT STUCK. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN A CAR THAT IS JUST BARELY 7 YEARS OLD. I AM ALSO HAVING ACCELERATION PROBLEMS SO I GET TO ENDURE THE FEAR OF NOT KNOWING IF THE CAR WILL GO WHEN I HIT THE GAS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR IS THE WORST TRANSMISSION EVER MADE. WONDERFUL NEWS. SO NOW MY CHOICES ARE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, ON TOP OF THE ALREADY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS I AM STILL PAYING ON THE CAR, TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION OR BE TERRIFIED EVERYTIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY CAR THAT I WON'T MAKE IT TO MY DESTINATION. YOU HAVE MADE A VEHICLE THAT IS OF POOR QUALITY AND NOT WORTH THE MONEY YOU ARE EXPECTING PEOPLE TO PAY. YOUR CAR IS UNSAFE FOR THE ROAD. I PRAY THAT I AM CAPABLE ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE CLEARLY INEVITABLE MECHANICAL ISSUES THAT WILL UNDOUBTEDLY HAPPEN AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS CAR. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2015. I CALLED THE NUMBER ASKED TO CALL AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER CLOSE TO ME. WHEN I DID THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN DEALS ON AUTOMOBILE BLVD IN SILVER SPRING, I WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE HAS TO SIT ON THE PASSENGER SIT FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT TO GO OFF. I ASKED WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS DUE FOR INSPECTION . THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF BEFORE THE INSPECTION TIME. AS I WRITING THOS COMPLIANT, THE LIGHT IS STILL SHOWING AND ON GOING TO THE INSPECTION, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR HAS FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG BEEN DISFUNCTIONAL. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN MOTOR AND THEY ARE GIVING ME THE GO AROUND AND NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE OF THE RECALL THAT CAUSED MY CAR NOT TO PASS INSPECTION. PLEASE I NEED HELP AS THE RECALL ISSUE WAS NOT ADDRESSED WHICH HAS CAUSED THE PROBLEM NOW.FOR MY NISSAN SENTRA 2013.

UPON DRIVING MY CAR DURING A TRIP HOME FROM WORK THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD THE GAS PEDAL PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AND IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 20 MPH AND THE RPM'S WOULD NOT MOVE. ONCE I GOT ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR WOULD HARDLY ACCELERATE AND WHEN IT FINALLY DID DECIDE TO AFTER 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING THE RPM'S WENT ALL THE WAY UP AND THE SPEED ODOMETER HARDLY MOVED. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. I ALMOST GOT HIT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE CAR COULD NOT SPEED UP.

THE CAR GOES INTO A LIMP MODE. CANNOT ACCELERATE PAST 20MPH. MECHANIC DETERMINED MY TRANSMISSION IS BAD. QUOTED $4,000 TO REPAIR. CAR HAS 87, 511 MILES. SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY OTHER CARS.
