2015 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

WHEN I HIT 70-80 MPH MY VEHICLES RPM'S GO CRAZY AND TRANSMISSION STARTS SLIPPING AND BUCKING. DOES. IT DO IT DURING NORMAL DAY TO DAY 55 MPH DRIVING ONLY AT THE HIGHER SPEED.

TAKATA RECALL. THE DRIVERS SIDE AXEL BOOT STARTED MAKING A CLICKING NOISE AT ONLY 25,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE WHOLE AXEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS HAS NOT BEEN FROM ANY DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE VEHICLE, JUST NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WEAR AND TEAR. THIS COMPONENT SHOULD NOT HAVE STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AT ONLY 25,000 MILES. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO BRAKE, AND NOW IT DOES IT WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN TO STOP AND WHEN YOU TAKE OFF AGAIN. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 39,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE IT IS STILL DRIVEABLE, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD'VE WORN OUT ALREADY, AND THE SHOP IS TELLING ME THAT IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $1400 TO REPAIR.

VEHICLE STALLED WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE. 1 MILE BEFORE STALLING IT STARTED TO JUDDER WHEN I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND JERK ME FORWARD WHEN I WOULD EXCELERATE FROM A STOP. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE AFTER IT STALLED, SHIFTED TO PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE IT ACCELERATED, SLOWER THAN USUAL AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE JUDDERING PROBLEM 7 DAYS AGO AND THEY REPLACED THE CVT CONTROL VALVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CHAPMAN NISSAN (6723 ESSINGTON AVE, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19153, (215) 492-1200), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60 TO 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTS TO LOSE POWER/GAIN POWER AND THE RPM GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY GOING UP AND DOWN, THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM (DRIVETIME) I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE 2 OUT OF 3 SHOPS SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG SO I THEN GOT A VIDEO OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND I SENT IT IN TO THEM LIKE THEY ASKED AND WAITED ANOTHER WEEK JUST FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THE NEXT THING TO DO IS WHAT I TOLD THEM IN THE BEGGING ' CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID' AND THAT THEY COULD REVIEW IT ONCE I SEND IN AN INVOICE. I'VE PAID $2,100 ON THIS CAR IN THE MONTH I HAVE HAD IT DUE TO PROBLEMS AND THE REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR ANYTHING UNLESS IT'S IN A SHOP GETTING MORE THEN 8 HOURS OF PHYSICAL LABOR. SO MY CAR BEING IN AND OUT OF 3 SHOPS IN A WEEK DOESN'T COUNT FOR ANYTHING.

MY SUNROOF EXPLODED RANDOMLY AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AT ABOUT 7:30 AM ON 10/23/2018. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55 MPH. I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD BOOM ABOVE MY HEAD. I PULLED OVER IN SHOCK THINKING THAT A BOMB HAD GONE OFF NEAR ME. I WAS CONFUSED AND ALARMED TO FIND THAT MY SUNROOF HAD COMPLETELY SHATTERED. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANYTHING HITTING MY CAR.

THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING UP. THE CAR GETS STUCK, MAKES WHINING NOISES, CAN'T GO UPHILL, WON'T ACCELERATE, SLOWS TO A COMPLETE STOP, ETC. THERE WERE ISSUES WITH THE CAR PRIOR TO IT GETTING THIS BAD. I TOOK IS TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT WASN'T DIAGNOSED FOR SOME REASON. IT TOOK SOME TIME FOR IT TO ALMOST COMPLETELY CLUNK OUT.

THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON , EVERY TIME I STEP ON MY GAS IT JERKS BACK SPEED IS SLOW ALSO ESPECIALLY DRIVING UP HILL MAKES IT SLOWER. I GET LEAKAGE OF OIL WHEN I JUST GOTTEN OIL CHANGED NOT TO LONG AGO. I'M AFRAID MY NISSAN SENTRA WILL LOSE ENGINE POWER ANYTIME SOON.

THE CAR WILL SWITCH GEARS WHEN I'M DRIVING. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES - THE LAST TIME WAS THIS WEEKEND WHEN I WAS TRAVELING. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, UP A MOUNTAIN. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING AS I WAS GOING UP THE MOUNTAIN. THE GEAR SHIFT CAUSED THE CAR TO DRAMATICALLY SLOW DOWN AND ALMOST CAUSED A MULTI-CAR PILEUP BECAUSE THERE WAS A LOT OF TRAFFIC.
