2015 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

TAKATA RECALL MY TRANSMISSION HAS GONE TWICE IN 4 YEARS OF HAVING A BRAND NEW CAR. FIRST TIME WITHIN A MONTH. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTS SPUTTERING, WON'T ACCELERATE AND STARTS GOING IN REVERSE WHILE IN DRIVE. MY CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AT THIS POINT AND HAD TO BE LEFT IN ANOTHER STATE

BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW DEC 2015, TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 68K MILES, NISSAN REPLACED IT IN JAN 2018, AND NOW JUNE 2019 THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN ONLY 1.5 YEARS AFTER THEY REPLACED THE LAST TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS AND 7 MONTHS AND NEEDS IT'S 3RD TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION CAN GO OUT AT ANYTIME, IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVERY 1-2 YEARS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN, WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 60 MPH. IT'S VERY UNSAFE AND IT IS NOT RELIABLE.

THE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY AFTER COMING OFF A COMPLETE STOP. ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF AND WHEN TO TURN IT BACK ON AND PUT IT IN GEAR, IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS. IT STARTS BUT WOULDN'T MOVE.

STARTING ON 1/23/19 THEN AGAIN 3/26/19 AND ON 4/17/19 CODE P0456 KEEPS COMING ON AND I HAVE ALSO REPLACED GAS CAP STILL DOING IT. THIS HAS TO BE A RECALL OF SOME KIND.

THE CAR HAS A LITTLE LESS THAN 35000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING IT LOSES SPEED AND EVEN WHEN I PRESS THE PEDAL DOWN IT DOESN'T WANT TO MOVE. THE RPMS GO WAY UP BUT THE CAR IS VERY SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED. THE PROBLEM REALLY PICKED UP AFTER THE DEALER DID THE RECOMMENDED TRANSMISSION SERVICE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES NOW.

TAKE IT A DEALER , THEY SAID IS THE TRANSMISSION,BUT WHERE I BOUGHT IT, THEY DON'T WANT TO HELP ME, I BOUGHT INSURANCE 3 YEARS OR 35000 MILES, I HAVE 120000 MILES, I STILL PAYING THE CAR,IT COULD BE A RECALL CAR??IT'S ON THE STREET.

NOTICED LACK OF POWER WHILE DRIVING CONSTANT KICK BACK ALMOST LIKE GOING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP WHEN ACCELERATING LOSS OF FUEL MILEAGE AND OCCASIONALLY A SOUND LIKE A BIRD CHIRP IF GOES ABOVE 2000 RPM. HAPPENS ON CITY OR HIGHWAY ROADS. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. TOOK MY 2015 SENTRA TO NISSAN TO FIND OUT WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL YEAR MODELS FROM 2003-2010 HAVE FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS EXPANDING TO WARRANTY BUT 2015 ISN'T INCLUDED.

I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY MY VEHICLE LOSES POWER RANDOMLY AND WHY THE CAR RANDOMLY SHIFTS GEARS AND REDUCES SPEED EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS. YET WHILE IT DOES THIS THE RPM NEEDLE SURGES BETWEEN 3000 TO 4500. VEHICLE HAS NO CODES AND DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS LOST POWER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND YET IM JUST SUPPOSE TO BELIEVE THE CAR IS SAFE.I EVEN PUT IN A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY CODES.

MY CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 81,361. I TOOK IT TO 4 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS, ONE OF THEM BEING THE NISSAN DEALER I GOT THE CAR FROM. ALL AGREED IT WAS A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT COVER ANY REPLACEMENT OR REPAIRS, BUT COULD REPAIR AND REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR $4800.00. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR SHOP IN TOWN AND THEY COULD DO THE REPAIR FOR $2800.00. I CHOSE TO GO WITH THE LESS EXPENSIVE AMOUNT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS TOLD BY THE NISSAN SERVICE CENTER I WOULD NOT GET ANY REIMBURSEMENT FORM NISSAN FOR THE REPAIR. NOW THAT I HAVE PAID $3000.00 AT THE OTHER PLACE AND OPENED A CASE WITH NISSAN'S COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN'S COMPLAINT DEPT. IF I HAD CHOSE TO GET IT FIXED AT A NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THEY WOULD HAVE COVERED IT. AS I STATED TO THE LAST NISSAN REP. IF I HAD BEEN TOLD THEY WOULD COVER IT I WOULD HAVE USED NISSAN'S SERVICE AND NOT ANOTHER PLACE. THE PLACE I CHOSE IS ASE CERTIFIED AND NISSAN CERTIFIED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THEY DID PUT IN A TRANSMISSION AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY, SO NOW I HAVE HAD 2 REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSIONS PUT IN MY CAR. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ON NISSAN'S WEB SITE REGARDING THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN 2015 SENTRAS. HOW CAN A RECALL BE ISSUED FOR WHAT IS APPARENTLY A MASS PROBLEM THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ADMIT THEY HAVE? THANK YOU.

I WAS IN MOTION WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED TO HESITATE AND NOT SPEED UP.I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT IT WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER WITH NISSAN CORPORATION BUT THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL AND NOT BEING COOPERATIVE. I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST NEAR WHERE I LIVE AND THEY STATED IT IS THE TRANSMISSION THAT WENT VERY BAD. I NO LONGER HAVE THE VEHICLE IN MY POSSESSION BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY AN ARM AND A LEG FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT WAS BEYOND MY CONTROL TO GET IT REPAIRED AND I WAS SOLD A LEMON VEHICLE.
