2016 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

MY 2016 NISSAN SENTRA THAT IS EQUIPPED WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN JERKING AND SLIPPING GEARS WHILE DRIVING. IT HAD BECOME HIGHLY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ONLY HAS 105000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. IT IS GARAGE KEPT AND IS MY WIFES ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK AND WE HAVE A 1 YESR OLD DAUGHTER WHO SHE DRIVES SROUND IN THE SENTRA FOR DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS AND TO WORK. WE HAVE TRIED CONTSCTING THE NISSAN OF MUSKOGEE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AND GET OUR VEHIVLE EITHER REPAIRED OR REPLACED AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE WILLING TO HELP US NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP OR NISSAN OF AMERICA ON THE ISSUE AT HAND.

ENGINE RPMS ARE HIGH DUE TO TRANSMISSION CLUTCHES BEING WORM PREMATURELY, CRUISE CONTROL ALSO BREAKS FREE AND RELEASES DUE TO HIGH RPMS AT RELATIVE OPERATING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, DANGEROUS LOSS OF POWER CONDITION

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR NOT STARTING. I SEE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A MONTH AND A HALF. I GO OUTSIDE TO GET IN MY VAR AND IT WILL NOT START. I HAVE TO GET JUMPS AND AFTER SEVERAL TIMES IT WILL START. ALL OTHER LIGHTS BE ON THE CAR JUST WON'T START. GOT A NEW BATTERY FROM NISSAN ON THURSDAY OCT 8TH AND STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS WELL AS A WHINNING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHEN THE CAT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN DRIVEN. WE NEED SOME HELP. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. PEOPLE PAID ALOT OF MONEY FOR THESES CARS NOT TO START. WE NEVER KNOW WHEN WE ARE GOING TO BE BROKE DOWN OR STRANDED SOMEWHERE

THE CVT IN THE TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I TRIED TO GO 75 AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT GET UP TO SUCH SPEED LEADING ME TO DRIVE UNDER 60 UNTIL I MADE IT TO THE NEAREST EXIT. WHEN STOP MY CAR SMELT AS IF IT WAS A BURNING SMELL COMING THROUGH MY VENTS AND UNDER MY HOOD. I THEN STOPPED SO MY CAR COULD COOL FOR ABOUT A HR THEN PROCEED DRIVING HOME DURING 40 IN THE SLOW LANE BACK HOME. MY VEHICLE IS NOW PARKED AND NISSAN IS SAYING DUE TO MY CAR NOT BEING LISTED BY VIN THAT MY CAR ISN'T APART OF THE CVT TRANSMISSION LAWSUIT EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN THAT CATEGORY. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY MAIL PHONE NOR EMAIL ABOUT THE ISSUE REGARDING THE ISSUES AND WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN IF THIS PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR.

AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT MY VEHICLE WAS STOPED, BUT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE, EVEN AFTER STEPPING ON THE GAS. IT BEGAN MOVING AFTER A COUPLE TRIES OF TURNING IT ON AND OFF, BUT WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD SLOW DOWN OUT OF NO WHERE. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS, DUE TO CARS BEING BEHIND ME, AND CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NOT ALOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO PUT IN THE CLAIM, BUT WHILE DOING MY RESEARCH THERE HAVE BEEN PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ON DIFFERENT WEBSITES. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 3 YEARS. THE VEHICLE WOULD GET MAINTENANCED WHEN NEEDED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS, BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN FAULTY TRANSMISSION FOR OTHER CVT NISSANS.

BROUGHT THIS 2016 IN APRIL OF 2020, AFTER I INITIALLY DROVE IT , MY DAUGHTER TOOK OVER DRIVING IT SINCE I'M A DISABLED VETERAN. MY FIANCE DROVE THE VEHICLE IN JUNE AND REALIZED IT WAS A DIFFERENT FEELING WITH THE CAR . TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY REPLACED TWO FRONT TIRES AND PERFORM A TUNE UP . MY YOUNG DAUGHTER PICK IT FROM THE SHOP AND WENT OFF TO COLLEGE IN BALTIMORE,MARYLAND. SHE RETURNED TO PALM BEACH IN SEPTEMBER .AFTER SHE GOT HOME , THE CAR JUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD UNEXPECTED. MY FIANCE TOOK THE CAR FOR A DRIVE AND NOTICE IT DOING THE SAME THING. TOOK IT TO TWO SHOPS WHO INFORMED ME TWO DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS., ONE BEING THE TRANSMISSION. THEY INFORM ME TO CONTACT NISSAN WHO IN TURN TOLD ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. WE HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION AT WHICH TIME ON 9/13/2020 , MY DAUGHTER HAD A ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FACT THE CAR COULDN'T PICK UP SPEED FAST ENOUGH TO MERGE INTO THE NEXT LANE . I'M HAPPY MY DAUGHTER WASN'T HURT BUT DEVASTATED THAT THIS CAR , 4 YEARS OLD IN MY POSSESSION ABOUT 4 MONTHS NEEDS A TRANSMISSION REPAIR. I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS FROM A VEHICLE THAT I STILL HAVE 3 YEARS REMAINING AND FROM NISSAN WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A RELIABLE COMPANY.

BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR, DOOR HANDLES ARE COMING APART AT THE SAME TIME. UNABLE TO USE THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE, MUST OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. DIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE IS BREAKING INTO TWO (2) PIECES.

2016 NISSAN SENTRA DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY ESPECIALLY, I WILL HAVE THE RPM JUMP FROM 2 TO 4.5 WHEN DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 73MPH, I LOSE POWER AND DROP TO 55-60MPH. I DEPRESS THE GAS TO BRING IT BACK UP TO SPEED AND THE CAR WILL JERK AND SHAKE BEFORE I AM ABLE TO GAIN A SAFE SPEED AGAIN. THERE IS TIMES WHEN I HAVE TO PULL OVER, REST FOR A FEW MINUTES AND RESTART MY CAR TO GET TO MY DESTINATION. I HAD TO TAKE MY CAR INTO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP SERVICE, MY CVT TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AND COULD STOP AT ANY MOMENT, I NEED TO REPLACE IT FOR $4,400. NISSAN IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE CVT, THE CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD. I BOUGHT IT AS MY MOST RELIABLE VEHICLE.

I HAD RECENTLY DRIVING A 2016 NISSAN SENTRA I OWN. I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE IN MY AREA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SIGNIFICANTLY DECELERATED WHILE STALLING TO ABOUT 30 MILE PER HOUR. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER FROM THE RIGHT LANE ONTO THE SHOULDER. THANK GOODNESS I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE AND HAD THE SHOULDER JUST TO MY RIGHT AS TRAFFIC WAS RELATIVELY HEAVY. CANDIDLY I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO CRASH THE VEHICLE AS I DID SWERVE AT ABOUT 45 MILES PER HOUR. KEEP IN MIND I WAS TRAVELING AT 65 MILE PER HOURS. THE CAR IS NOW WITH WOODFIELD NISSAN IN SCHAUMBURG, IL SINCE THURSDAY, JULY 30. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (EGI). I DID NOT KNOW WHAT THIS WAS AND THAT THE COST WOULD BE ALMOST $3,000. I ASKED ABOUT RECALLS AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS SAME MODEL YEAR CAR BUT MY CAR DID NOT MEET NISSAN?S REQUIREMENT SINCE THE VIN #?S WERE ALREADY IDENTIFIED . I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH REGARDING THIS KNOWN DEFECT WITH THIS VEHICLE. NISSAN ONLY AGREED TO VOLUNTARILY RECALL VEHICLES DURING A CERTAIN TIMEFRAME. I'M NOT CLEAR WHY MY VEHICLE VIN#[XXX] IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL, I'M EXPERIENCING WHAT THE RECALL OUTLINED. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS CASES REPORTED ONLINE. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE CAMPAIGN CODE PM6580. NISSAN IS NOT WILLING TO COOPERATE AND ASSIT WITH THE CURRENT PRODUCTION ISSUE I?M EXPERIENCING. MY 2016 NISSAN HAS BEEN AT WOODFILED NISSAN SINCE 7/30 WITH THE HARNESS ON BACKORDER. I'M NOT CERTAIN WHY VIN# WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AS I'M EXPERIENCING THE DEFECT IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT, WHILE IT?S A VERY DANGEROUS PRODUCTION ISSUE. I FEEL IT'S UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE AS A CUSTOMER THAT IS EXPERIENCING A PRODUCTION RECALL ISSUE. NISSAN CASE # [XXX]. SINCERELY, [XXX] CAR UNDER [XXX] AT DEALER OR [XXX].
