2016 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

MY 2016 NISSAN SENTRA IS BEEN UNSAFE TO DRIVE, I WAS TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL WHEN I WAS TRYING TO HIT THE GAS IT JUMPED UP ALMOST HIT THE FRONT CAR WE WERE BEHIND. CAR DOESN'T GO FASTER THEN 10MPH. I CAN'T BELIEVE BEING A NEW CAR I MUST PAY A LOT MONEY TO FIX TRANSMISSION. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER AND NEED THIS PROBLEM FIXED PLEASE.I CAN'T PICK UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL OR PICK THEM UP FROM LOCATION I MEET EX HUSBAND TO GET THEM ON MY DAYS OF CUSTODY. I NEED MY VEHICLE FIXED PLEASE

I'VE HAD THIS 2016 NISSAN SENTRA FOR 2 YEARS & 5 MONTHS. TODAY JUNE 29,2019 2:15 PM WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A REGULAR STREET MY CAR ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. WHILE STILL MOVING NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. STEERING WHEEL IS IS HARD TO TURN AFTER A MINUTE A COUPLE OF ITEMS LIGHTED UP ON THE DASHBOATD LIKE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL ETC... TRIED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS HARD TO MANEUVER GOOD THING THERE WERE NO ON COMING CARS ON THE ROAD. I WAITED A VOUPLE MINUTES THEN RESTARTED THE CAR & IT STARTED. TURNED OFF THE RADIO , AUR CPNDITION & UNPLUGGED THE CHARGER & DROVE HOME WITHOUT ANY ISSUES BUT WAS SCARED THAT IT WOULD STOP AGAIN.

I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT OR SIGN, OR EVEN JUST SLOWING DOWN, IT WOULD ALWAYS DELAY AFTER STEPPING ON THE GAS TO MOVE FROM DAY ONE. I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL. AFTER ABOUT 30,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP ON THE FREEWAY, ESPECIALLY ON HOT DAYS. IT FELT LIKE I WAS PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE GAS. IT MAY HAVE DONE THAT ONCE A DAY ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT IN A FEW MONTHS LATER WHEN IT WOULD DO IT SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOOK IT ON A TEST DRIVE AND IT BROKE DOWN ON THEM. I GUESS THERE'S A CHAIN IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT IT WAS IN PIECES! I HAD A REBUILT TRANSMISSION PUT IN, BUT I AM ALREADY SEEING THE SYMPTOMS AGAIN! I HAVE BEEN TAKING DATA EVER SINCE AND HAVE A PAGE OF INCIDENCES. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. I AM LESS THAN 3000 MILES AWAY FROM 60,000, WHICH IS WHEN THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE. ABOUT 10,000 MILES AGO, I INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THEY REFUSED TO SELL ME ONE SINCE I DRIVE ABOUT 110 MILES A DAY FOR WORK. I STILL OWE QUITE A BIT ON THIS POS. I AM GOING TO GET A LAWYER.

THE DOOR HANDLE IS A TWO PIECE PIECE OF PLASTIC AND IT BREAKS VERY EASILY ALMOST AS IF IT WAS ENGINEERED TO BREAK. I CURRENTLY HAVE IT SECURED WITH ZIP TIES BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF REPLACING THE CHEAP CRAPPY PLASTIC ON MY DIME.

MY TRANSMISSION FAILED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AND NARROWLY AVOIDED A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE CAR WAS MAKING A SMALL KIND OF CLICKING/SHUDDERING SOUND WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE. I THOUGHT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIRES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING, BUT I THOUGHT THEY MAY HAVE BEEN MISTAKEN BECAUSE I WAS HAVING NO ISSUES WITH MOVING AT THE TIME. NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEALERSHIP KNEW IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE BECAUSE NISSAN IS AWARE OF A MAJOR DEFECT WITH THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS, BUT WILL NOT ORDER A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY THAT EVENING; WE BARELY MADE IT OFF THE ROAD. I AM TERRIFIED TO TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR. THERE IS NO REASON WHY A CAR THAT I PURCHASED BRAND NEW SHOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION FAILURE LESS THAN TWO YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. I'M ASSUMING A FAMILY WILL HAVE TO DIE ON A HIGHWAY BEFORE THIS COMPANY WILL CORRECT THEIR FLAW.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I FELT MY CAR PUNCH, LIKE WHEN IT SWITCHED GEARS IT KEPT MAKING A BANG NOISE LIKE IF IT WAS PUNCHING. AS I CONTINUED DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND I WENT TO A PEP BOYS AND A AUTOZONE SO THEY COULD READ THE CODE AND THEY BOTH CAME UP WITH 'P2859'. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM I WOULD BE BRINGING IT IN THE FOLLOWING DAY BECAUSE IT WAS LATE ALREADY. THE NEXT DAY I BROUGHT IT IN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND AFTER SEVERAL HOURS THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME I WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION, I ASKED IF THEY WERE SURE AND IF A TRANSMISSION FLUSH WOULD DO ANYTHING OR IF THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON IT BECAUSE I ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR CLOSE TO TWO YEARS. NOW I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO CAUSE I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THE CAR AND THE REPAIR BILL IS ALIL OVER $4000.

THE STEERING WHEEL DOES NOT STAY IN PLACE, THEREFORE IT'S VERY SCARY TO TRY TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY , NISSAN DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO FIX IT THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THE DEFECTIVE DUE TO WARRANTY

MODEL 2016 ALREADY NEEDS THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. HAPPENS OFTEN - THE DEALERS EVEN STOCK IT. WILL ONLY GUARANTEE THE WORK FOR ONE YEAR, AS THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. CAR STALLS CONSTANTLY, HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS AND MUST BE PUSHED OFF THE ROAD. HAD TO TOW IT TO THE DEALER.

CAR NOT EVEN 24 HOURS OLD, THE CAR WOULD NOT START WITH PUSHING THE STARTER BUTTON, THE RMP WOULD BE AT 3 AT IDLEING. MARCH 2019, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WENT TO THE DEALER. SENSOR IN FUEL PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED, FEW WEEKS POWER TRAIN PROBLEMS. IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION OF ROUTE 45 IN GREYS LAKE, IL. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND ALMOST DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. SHUT THE CAR OFF, THE CAR WOULD RUN NORMAL FOR AWHILE, THEN THE SHIFTING GEARS AND BOGGING WOULD START ALL OVER AGAIN. A WEEK LATTER THE ENGINE IS MAKING A WHINNING NOISE.

THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE COMES OFF. THE CAR BUCKS AND LOSES POWER,THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE MOVES UP AND DOWN. RPM SENSOR?.THE BRAKES (REAR DRUMS CRUNCHING). I HAVE 3 DIFFERENT BILLS FOR THE BRAKES. IM TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF THIS SITUATION WITH THE BUCKING OF MY CAR. READ UP ON COMPLAINTS DUE TO TROUBLE WITH NISSAN TRANSMISSION. I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK WITH BACK AND FORTH B.S.ABOUT WHO IS RESPONSIBLE ETC. I OWN IT OUTRIGHT.WANT IT TAKEN CARE OF. ITS HIGHWAY DRIVING WHEN IT BUCKS BACK AND FORTH AND LOSES POWER.
