2013 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

DRIVING ON MY DAILY COMMUTE TO WORK A A FEW TIMES A DAY AT RANDOM TIMES MY SENTRA SUDDENLY LOSES ACCELERATION ON A 4 LANE EXPRESSWAY AT SPEEDS OF 60MPH+, IT MAKES A LOUD REVVING NOISE, AND DECELERATES AT AN ALARMING RATE WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS, AND IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS TWICE BEFORE AND IT'S THE BEGINNING STAGES OF POWERTRAIN SLOWLY GOING, THIS WILL BE MY 3RD TRANSMISSION AND ONLY GETS MORE DANGEROUS AND WORSE FROM HERE AND YET NISSAN DOESN'T WANT TO ADMIT THAT IT'S SLIPPING AND BUCKING AND WOULD RATHER WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO FIX THE PROBLEM IF AT ALL. 2013 NISSAN SENTRA WITH ONLY 111K... THIS WILL BE MY 3RD TRANSMISSION.

BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE 2016 ABOUT SHUDDERING IF CAR AND LOSS OF POWER. I'VE HAD AN ACCELERATION ISSUE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IN 2016, REPORTED IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY SSID I WAS CRAZY UNDER 28000 MILES AT TIME. HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE NOW IN OCT 10 GOING ON PA TURNPIKE AT POSTED 70MPH LLOST ALL POWER ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR PILEUP! TRANSMISSION HAD TO TOW VEHICLE OFF HIGHWAY THEN AGAIN TOW IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP COSTIING ME OVER 500.00 IN TOWS MILEAGE UNDER 48000. KOW THEY SAY I NEED TRANSMISSION OUT OF WARRANTY MUST PAY 4000.00 TO REPAIR IT !! THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DEATHTRAP AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ON THE ROAD.. I WANT THE GOVT TO MAKE NISSANUSA PAY FOR ALL MY REPAIRS TOWING AND GET A LIFETIME WARRANTY. MAYBE THEN THEYD FIX CAR RIGHT !! IM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IVE BEEN ON 2 MAJOR HIGHWAYS ONE CITY STREET WHEN THIS OCCURED. INTERSTATE 5279 AND PA TURNPIKE THEN A PGH CITY STREET . I'M JUST GRATEFUL I AM ALIVE A D OTHERS WERE NOT HURT THIS PAST OCT 10 2019.

I BOUGHT MY CAR AS A USED CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD AFTER A YEAR. WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING IT JERKS VERY UNUSUALLY BEFORE IT CHANGES GEARS AND WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE CAR'S RPM SHOOTS UP VERY QUICKLY AND COMES BACK DOWN. IT KEEPS FLUCTUATING LIKE THAT FOR THE WHOLE DRIVE. I THEN BOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION FROM A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA S WITH A VIN "[XXX]" AS A REPLACEMENT BUT THAT HAS GONE BAD AS WELL. IT DOES THE SAME THING AS THE PREVIOUS ONE THAT WENT BAD. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS ON A CITY STREET. AFTER STOPPING (I WAS STOPPED) AT AN INTERSECTION, I THEN PRESSED ON THE GAS TO TURN LEFT INTO THE LANE. AT THAT TIME, I HEARD A LOUD 'POP' WHICH STARTLED ME. AND THOUGH THE CAR WAS IN GEAR ('D'-DRIVE) IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I SHIFTED TO REVERSE TO SEE IF IT WOULD MOVE IN THAT GEAR. I FELT THE GEAR ENGAGE AND THE CAR DID MOVE IN REVERSE. I SHIFTED BACK TO 'D'- DRIVE BUT I DID NOT FEEL THE GEAR ENGAGE NOR DID THE CAR MOVE FORWARD AT ALL. IN ADDITION TO THE FAILURE OF MY TRANSMISSION, I WAS DOUBLY BOTHERED BY THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NEVER A WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH TO SIGNAL A PENDING OR POTENTIAL PROBLEM.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON DUE TO THE SAME AIR FLOW PROBLEM. EVERY TIME CAR IS SCANNED THE CODE COMES UP AS THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. I HAVE REPLACED THIS SENSOR. MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH. MY CAR ALSO IDLES, JERKS WHEN PLACED IN PARK & HAS DECREASED FUEL EFFICIENCY. THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE, WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR RPMS INCREASED THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. TRAFFIC RAPIDLY APPROACHING BEHIND ME.

MASTER CYLINDER NEEDS REPLACING. MY DAUGHTER COULD HAVE CRASHED AS BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. NISSAN KNOWS THIS ISSUE EXISTS WITH 2013 NISSAN SENTRA AND NO RECALL?

ON 10/01/19 MY NISSAN SENRTA STARTED EXPERIENCING JERKING AND REVVING WHICH HAS BEEN CONTINUALLY GETTING WORSE. ON 11/01/19 AN APPOINTMENT IS MADE TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION EVALUATION WITH FULL EXPECTATION OF REPLACEMENT WITH NEW TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE MOVED VERY SLOWLY. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND JERKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GILES NISSAN LAFAYETTE (6137 JOHNSTON ST, LAFAYETTE, LA 70503, (337) 210-9000), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD PAY HALF FOR THE TRANSMISSION REPAIR. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

20013 NISSAN SENTRA WITH LESS THAN 75K MILES. MAKING A LEFT TURN AND HEARD A LOUD POP. LEFT FRONT BALL JOINT BROKE OFF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM CAUSING THE CONTROL ARM TO SMASH THROUGH THE TIRE RIM AND RIP OUT THE AXLE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH (THANK GOD!) I WOULD NOT HAVE REPORTED THIS BUT I SAW THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ANOTHER CAR. I JACKED IT UP IMMEDIATELY AND CAR WAS FLATBEDDED TO MECHANIC AND CONTROL ARMS ON BOTH SIDES, BALL JOINTS AND AXLE WAS REPLACED.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR WARNINGS. AFTER 30 MINUTE DRIVE ON FREEWAY CAME TO A STOP AT A TURN OFF. WENT TO CROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH PLENTY OF SPACE AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT CATCH AND MOVED EXTREMELY SLOW. CARS CAME AT SPEED AND HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO AVOID COLLISION. TRANSMISSION NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OF ANY SORT.
