2015 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

CAR LOSES POWER TO CONSOLE ONLY AT TIMES AND OTHERS THE HOLE CAR LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING LOSING ALL CONTROL OF CAR WHILE IN MOTION.

MY CAR HAS THE CVT AND AT TIMES YOU HAVE TO REALLY PRESS HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE CAR TO SELECT A GEAR AND MOVE. IF YOU EASE INTO THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE IT'S ALMOST AS IF I AM DRIVING MY HUSBAND'S RACECAR WITH A STALL CONVERTER IN IT. I TOOK IT TO THE SELLING DEALER AT ONLY 22,000 MILES AND THEY WANTED TO CHANGE THE FLUID WITHOUT FIRST EVEN TAKING IT FOR A RIDE OR EXPLAINING WHY IT NEEDED THE FLUID CHANGED SO SOON WHEN THE MANUAL STATES 60K.

PREMATURE RUST SHOWING ON TRUNK LID. TAKEN TO THREE DIFFERENT CERTIFIED NISSAN DEALERS WHO HAVE STATED THE RUST ISN'T BIG ENOUGH TO PLACE AN ADULT FIST THROUGH AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THEIR CORROSION WARRANTY.

DRIVING AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. TOOK TO AUTO REPAIR SHOP ( SECOND TIME, SAME ISSUE). MASS AIR FLOW INTAKE SENSOR GOES BAD. SAFETY ISSUES AS CAR CAN SURGE OR STALL WHILE DRIVING.

AFTER ABOUT JUST A FEW WEEKS OF PURCHASING THE CAR, IT STARTED SHIFTING HARDER THAN IT SHOULD ON OCCASION, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD BE FINE. THEN ON WAY HOME FROM WORK ON THE HWY IT STOPS ACCELERATING SO I FLOOR IT JUST TO GET ANY SPEED, THEN IT WOULD ACCELERATE AGAIN SOMEWHAT NORMALLY. DID THIS FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK BEFORE I COULD TAKE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THEY DO NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE AND I KNEW BETTER B/C WHILE THEY WERE CHECKING THE CAR OUT, THEY LOANED ME A CAR TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND IT WAS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CAR, MAY OF BEEN A YEAR NEWER OR OLDER BUT IT WAS A SENTRA. THIS SENTRA DROVE SO MUCH SMOOTHER AND I KNEW MINE HAD AN ISSUE THEN. BUT THEY INSISTED NO PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR BACK 1 DAY FROM THEM AND IT STARTS ACTING UP THE SAME WAY BUT WORSE TILL IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR ME AT ALL. LIKE IT WAS DYING ON ME WHICH IT DID SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE SAME NISSAN DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HAVE TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN. CAR HAD JUST UNDER 60,000 MILES ON IT AND MY WARRANTY WAS FIXING TO END HOWEVER IT IS STARTING TO WORRY ME A LITTLE B/C IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN SLIGHTLY. I FEAR ITS THE SAME ISSUE CVT TRANSMISSION AND MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRES. I AM VERY UPSET B/C I FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS A LEMON AND I MAY BE STUCK WITH THE PIECE OF JUNK AND UPSIDE DOWN AND TOO BROKE TO GET ANOTHER CAR. NOT FAIR

ELECTRICAL & BLUETOOTH PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR: THE SYSTEM SHUTS ITSELF DOWN & REBOOTS WITHOUT PROMPT. THE NISSAN LOGO REAPPEARS ON SCREEN IN THE SAME MANNER THAT IT DOES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST INITIATED VIA KEYLESS START IGNITION. THREE WEEKS AGO, I WAS DRIVING & THE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS IN TRANSIT ON THE FREEWAY (BW PARKWAY) - HEADED TO BALTIMORE CITY FROM BOWIE CITY IN MARYLAND AND REBOOTED ITSELF. THE FEAR IS THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN ONE DAY, NOT JUST ELECTRONICALLY, BUT ALSO THE ENGINE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT. THE SECOND OR THIRD DAY, AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR HOME, I TURNED THE CAR ON TO TAKE IT OUT FOR A RIDE, AND IT SHUT OFF ON ME COMPLETELY. EACH TIME THE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN, THE MILEAGE ODOMETER DIALS BACK A COUPLE OF HUNDRED NUMBERS OR SOMETIMES A FEW NUMBERS. THERE'S NO WAY TO TELL HOW MANY MILES ARE TRULY ON THE VEHICLE. I ALSO DO NOT KNOW FOR SURE IF THE VEHICLE WAS TRULY INSPECTED BY EMISSIONS OR THAT THEY CHANGED MY FUEL. I ALSO DO NOT KNOW THE TRUE CONDITION OF THIS VEHICLE. I SAW SOME RUST UNDER THE HOOD ON A FEW OF THE SCREWS. I ALSO SAW CORROSION UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SIDE OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL. I AM HAVING PROBLEMS STAYING IN MY LANE ON THE ROAD. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE ROAD, THE CAR SWERVES IF THERE ARE HIGH WINDS (SUSPENSION ON FRONT & REAR END ALIGNMENT APPEAR TO BE GONE). ON FRIDAY MARCH 15TH IN THE 5 O'CLOCK PM HOUR, I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY. I OPENED THE SUNROOF & A GUSTY WIND CAME DOWN, KNOCKING THE CAR OUT OF ITS LANE. I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE CAR. I SHUT THE SUNROOF. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT SPEED I DRIVE. THE NEXT PROBLEM IS WITH THE BLUETOOTH. I ATTEMPTED TO CALL A RELATIVE USING THE HANDS FREE VERBAL COMMAND & IT WENT HAYWIRE & BEGAN CALLING RANDOM PEOPLE IN MY PHONE. AFTER THAT, THE CAR REBOOTED ITSELF AGAIN. THIS PROBLEM IS NEW. RESEARCH CONFIRMS THAT THE DEALER HAS A HISTORY.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK GOING OVER 10 MILES PER HOUR ON THE FREEWAY AND MY AIR BAGS DID NOT COME OUT AND I FEEL THAT IS UNSAFE, THOUGH THEY CLAIMED THEY FIXED THE RECALL AT NISSAN. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS CAR IS A DANGER TO MY LIFE AND OTHERS AS WELL. I WAS IN CALIFORNIA ON THE 10 FREEWAY AS MY BOYFRIEND WAS DRIVING. *DT*JB

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD STUTTER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE UPHILL. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. ON THE DAY OF THE APPOINTMENT, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED AND REPORTED METAL SHAVINGS IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE MANGER SAID THAT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WOULD BE 'REBUILT'.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND THE POWER TRAIN INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VALLEY HI NISSAN (15722 VALLEY PARK LN, VICTORVILLE, CA 92394, (760) 241-1700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE AND KEEPING A STEADY 65-70 MPH IT WILL ALL THE SUDDEN STOP ACCELERATING AND MPG'S DECLINE. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR OVER. IT DID RESTART AND I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THIS HAS OCCURRED NOW FOUR TIMES. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND REQUESTED AN APPOINTMENT. I INFORMED THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND ASKED IF THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. THE MAN I SPOKE TO STATED HE HAD NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT BEFORE. I FOUND SOME INFORMATION ONLINE AND KNOW THIS IS AFFECTING A TON OF PEOPLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SERVICE IT FOR EVERYTHING. I AM HOPING I DO NOT END UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION LIKE SO MANY OTHERS ON MY DIME WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.
