2013 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

SANTANA CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PICK BACK UP

SINCE PURCHASE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICING AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR 'PULLS' TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING.NATURALLY, MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MORE INHERENTLY WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION OR STEERING. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS CERTIFIED FROM NISSAN POUGHKEEPSIE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT THE EXACT CAUSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT 25 TO 30 MPH WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO COME TO A STOP AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT POLICE DEPARTMENT PROVIDED CASE NUMBER 020-9-018-0182. THE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION AND THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,400.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM A USED DEALERSHIP. I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA THAT HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUES AS THE NISSAN VEHICLES FROM 2010-2012. MY TRANSMISSION FEELS AS IF IT IS SLIPPING, JERKING, SHUDDERING AND DOES NOT GAIN ACCELERATION SMOOTHLY. IF I ACCELERATE AT ALL, MY TRANSMISSION WILL JERK. IF I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE, IT WILL STALL AND FEELS AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING ANY GAS AND THE TRANSMISSION JERKS. IF I AM ON A STREET THAT IS NOT BUSY DRIVING UNDER 40 IF MY RPM GETS OVER 1, IT WILL JERK AND FEEL AS IF IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS OF 40, IF THE RPM INCREASES AT ALL, MY VEHICLE JERKS AND FEELS AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS. I TOOK MY CAR TO FIRESTONE ON 1/10/20 AND THEY DETERMINED THAT IT IS INDEED THE CVT TRANSMISSION. I HAD 0 CODES APPEAR. I HAVE THE DOCUMENT FROM FIRESTONE THAT REFLECTS THAT I HAVE NO OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. I WAS ADVISED BY FIRESTONE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NISSAN 1/10/20 THE SAME DAY AND WAS TOLD THE EXACT SAME THING, HOWEVER THE RECALL DOES NOT APPLY TO THE YEAR OF MY VEHICLE, BUT I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE PREVIOUS YEAR MANUFACTURED VEHICLES. I ALSO HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS AS WELL. THEY RAN A FULL DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND FOUND 0 CODES. I KEEP MY VEHICLE IN GOOD CONDITION AND WELL KEPT AND SERVICE IS UP TO DATE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

WHILE DRIVING, MY CAR BEGAN TO SOUND DIFFERENT AND LOST POWER ( NO MATTER HOW MUCH GAS PEDDLE APPLIED THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD) I LATER DISCOVERED ALLEGEDLY IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. CHECKING WITH MY RESOURCES I FURTHER SUSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION WAS RECALLED. I CONTACTED CARSON DEALERSHIP ; THEY SAID I SHOULD BRING IT IN TO BE DIAGNOSED. I CALLED THEIR COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT AND ASKED IF THEY COULD HELP ME MY 7 YEAR OLD SENTRA (WHICH I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON) POWER TRAIN SHOULD NOT BE IN FAILURE. THE REPRESENTATIVE LISTENED AND STATED ' THEY COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF MILEAGE ON THE CAR.

THE DRIVER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON, ON THE DASHBOARD. IT TURNS ON WHEN I START THE CAR AND IT STAYS ON. ONE DAY IT WAS OFF WHEN I FIRST TURNED ON THE CAR, BUT AS I DROVE A COUPLE OF BLOCKS IT TURNED ON. I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND HE RAN A DIAGNOSTICS AND IT CAME BACK WITH CODE B00A0-00 OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM DATA 4 SENSOR - HISTORY FAULT. HE SUGGESTED I GO BACK TO NISSAN. NISSAN TOLD ME THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND I WOULD HAVE TO FIRST PAY $180.00 FOR THEM TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEN PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS. I AM CONCERNED AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I AM NOT SURE IF THE DRIVERS AIR BAG WILL DEPLOY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS CAR AND IT HAS LOW MILEAGE ABOUT 12,200 MILES. ALSO, I HADE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS LIGHT OPERATION RECALL FIXED IN 2016.

SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM MIDWAY NISSAN, 11/2013, THEN 07/2014, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT COMPLETELY STOPPED ON US. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED AT FAULKNER NISSAN IN PA. ONCE AGAIN DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN MD, WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION GIVES OUT, THESE RESULTS WERE SLIGHTLY MORE HECTIC. MY WIFE HAS EPILEPSY AND WENT INTO A SEIZURE BECAUSE WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO THE SIZE OF THE ROAD. HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR IN MD, GET A RENTAL CAR FROM BWI AIRPORT, DRIVE BACK HOME TO PA, MY MOTHER AND HER FRIEND, WHO WAS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL AFTER A STROKE HAD TO DRIVE TO MD, IN ORDER FOR ME TO USE HIS TRIPLE A CAR TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED FROM BWI BACK TO HARRISBURG, PA. MY WIFE DROVE BACK WITH US TO MD BECAUSE WE NEEDED TO MAKE SURE MY MOTHER ALMOST AGE 70 AND HER FRIEND IN HIS 80 WAS OK. THIS WAS A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE MR SCHULL, THE TRIPLE A MEMBER NEEDED TO EAT AND WITH ALL THIS COMMOTION NEAR CHOKED WHILE EATING. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INTOLERABLE. NISSAN IS PUTTING FAULTY TRANSMISSION INTO VEHICLES. THIS IS SERIOUS, WORK IS BEING MISSED AND A SECOND TRANSMISSION. NISSAN NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR THIS. I AM REPORTING THIS AND WILL ALSO CALL AND FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NISSN TODAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TROPHY NISSAN (5031 N. GALLOWAY AVE, MESQUITE, TX) WHERE A TUNE-UP WAS PERFORMED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR JERKS AS IF STRUGGLING TO SWITCH GEARS. OFTEN WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, THE CAR FAILS TO GO FASTER AND IT SOUNDS AS IF I AM JUST TRYING THE ENGINE

WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE UNTIL THE ECONOMY MODE WAS TURNED OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. CAR JERKS, SHAKES, VIBRATES.
