2017 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 86,000 MILEAGE. VEHICLE STOPPED ON HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRMED CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, NOTICED THE VEHICLE START TO SPORADICALLY JERK. ENGINE RPM WOULD JUMP AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS NON RESPONSIVE AT TIMES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED. PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND HAD NO RESPONSE AT ALL. STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTING TO FAIL. CAR IS A 2017 AND HAS LESS THAN 92000 MILES ON IT. EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDS ON THAT YEAR AT 84000 MILES. WITHOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE THE REPAIR IS AROUND $4000. LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND FOUND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY OR ISSUE A RECALL. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO BE DRIVING AND LOSE ACCELERATOR RESPONSE ALL TOGETHER

WE PURCHASED A USED 2017 NISSAN SENTRA IN APRIL 2019. IT CURRENTLY HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT, AND FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH INTERMITTENT SOFT BRAKES. THE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. MECHANIC HAD PROBLEMS DIAGNOSING IT BECAUSE IT WAS INTERMITTENT. FINALLY HE REPLICATED THE ISSUE AND FLUSHED AIR OUT OF THE BRAKE LINES. BRAKES WORKED PROPERLY FOR A FEW DAYS, AND THEN ISSUE STARTED UP AGAIN. STILL TRYING TO GET THE MECHANIC TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

MY FRONT COLLISION SENSOR WENT OFF WITH NO PREVIOUS WARNING BY NISSAN IS CALLED THE DISTANCE SENSOR I CALLED THEM AND ALL WHAT THEY SAID IT'S GOING TO COST ME THE REPAIR MY CAR BARELY HAS LESS THAN 45000 MILES ALSO ALL WHAT I GET ON MY DASH IS MALFUNCTION AND IT SHOW THE FRONT SENSOR.

CAR HAS 81229 MILES ON IT THE PROBLEM STARTED AROUND 81,000 CAR SURGING AND TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS

THE CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN I LOSS 90% ACCELERATION AND VELOCITY WHILE DRIVING. VERY, VERY SCARY! I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I PROCEEDED TO CHECK THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER BY AAA WHEN A SERVICE CALL WAS PLACED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE AT MY HOME. AAA'S. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER ARE GREAT AND THAT THESE THINGS WERE NOT THE REASON WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS REMAINED ON. THE CAR IS ONLY 3YRS 11MNTHS OLD. I GET THE STANDARD OIL CHANGE BUT NISSAN HAS DISCONTINUED TO USE CONVENTIONAL OIL. WHICH IS THE RECOMMENDED OIL FOR MY CAR. I ALSO GET THE CAR SERVICED AS NEEDED. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY CAR. I CANNOT DRIVE IT PERIOD. IT SUDDENLY LOSES POWER 60 TO 120 SECONDS WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

WHEN I AM ON THE INTERSTATE AND I AM GOING BETWEEN 60MPH AND 80MPH MY CAR STARTS TO SHAKE. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF MY CAR BEGINS TO SHAKE AND YOU CAN HEAR IT AS WELL. WHEN I START TO BRAKE OR SLOW DOWN, IT'S GETS LOUDER AND THE SHAKING GETS WORSE.

MY CAR HAS STARTED ACTING CONFUSED WITH THE GEAR SHIFTS. IT'S ALMOST LIKE I AM REPEATINGLY PUTTING IT IN DRIVE THEN NEUTRAL THEN SPORTS MODE WHEN I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING JUST TRYING TO DRIVE. THE CAR STRUGGLES TO PICK UP SPEED AND 'GIDDY UP' WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT GETS WORSE WHEN I GO UP HILL OR OVER 40 MPH. I WAS TOLD IT'S VERY DANGEROUS AND NOW HAVE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT PER THE DIAGNOSIS.

THE CAR'S BRAKES STOPPED RESPONDING IN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR HIT ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD (IT WAS SNOWING) THEN IT CUT 3 LANES AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE OTHER SIDE AND HIT THE WALL AGAIN. THE IMPACT WAS HIGH, THE VEHICLE HAS MAJOR DAMAGE BUT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED.

MY GEARS DID NOT APPEAR ON MY DASHBOARD WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO HOME. THE CAR ALSO WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR (REVERSE OR DRIVE). I KEPT TRYING TO SWITCH THE GEARS AND PRESS THE GAS. THE CAR EVENTUALLY STARTED MOVING FORWARD AND GAINED ENOUGH SPEED FOR ME TO DRIVE HOME. THE NEXT DAY I CRANKED MY CAR, THE GEARS SHOWED UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE CAR MOVED (I WAS HOME IN MY DRIVEWAY). HOWEVER SINCE, THE GEARS HAVE DISAPPEARED AGAIN AND THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE.
