2015 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

IT'S THE GEAR SHIFT IT GETS STUCK I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR 1 YEAR AND BOUGHT IT FROM ABC NISSAN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE LURCHED AND OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE THE VEHICLE BECAME OPERABLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO BENSON NISSAN (1100 N PINE ST, SPARTANBURG, SC) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

I HAVE GONE MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE NISSAN SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STOP SHIFTING GEARS. IT WILL BE STUCK IN 3RD GEAR AND WILL STOP ACCELERATING. MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO FASTER THAN 40MPH. I VIDEO TAPED IT AND SHOWED THE MECHANIC BUT HE SAID BECAUSE IT WASN'T DOING IT WHEN I TOOK IT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF RANDOMLY ALSO. MY CAR IS RIGHT OUT OF THE MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY WITH 64000 MILES. MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW IS ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS. THE ENGINE IS GOING OUT. WITH THE ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH ACCELERATING AND THE GEARS NOT SHIFTING I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY CAR IS NOT GOING TO ACCELERATE.

TAMARA RECALL MY CAR STARTED OUT JERKING WHEN CHANGING GEARS. RIGHT WHEN MY WARRANTY WAS OUT IT GOT A LOT WORSE. I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $5000 TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION BC I WAS TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR WOULDN'T GO EVEN FIVE MPH AND I HAD A 18 WHEELER COMING UP ON ME AND ALMOST GOT HIT. IT WENT FROM JERKING AND STRUGGLING THEN MY RPMS WERE BOUNCING ALL OVER THE PLACE THEN IT JUST QUIT DRIVING AT ALL IN NO TIME. THERE HAS BEEN TONS OF COMPLAINTS AND LOTS OF RECALLS FOR OTHER YEARS ON THIS ISSUE AND THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS ONE. IT'S COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE! THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD ON NISSAN SENTRA! I ENDED UP BEING ABLE TO PULL OVER AND PREVENT MY DEATH, THANK GOD! I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND CALMED DOWN THEN STARTED IT UP AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND GET IT TOO THE SHOP. NOW I HAVE BEEN PAYING IN A RENTAL CAR FOR OVER 2 WEEKS AND MY CAR STILL ISN'T DONE! I WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER NISSAN! I HAVE KIDS AND THIS WAS THE SCARIEST THING TO ME! VERY UNSAFE!

MY TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SLIDE WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE IS A 2015 AND WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN THE SPRING OF 2016. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND SPOKE WITH MY MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMS THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THE LISTED VEHICLE IS NO LONGER BEING DRIVEN FOR THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND I BUT PAYMENTS ARE STILL BEING MADE ON THE LISTED NOTE. THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THE CAR HESITATED TO MAKE A TURN WHICH LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. LUCKILY, IT WAS EARLY IN THE MORNING AND BARELY ANYONE ON THE ROAD. THIS OCCURRED GETTING OFF A HIGHWAY.

THERE IS A TECHNICIANS BULLETIN FOR MY CAR AND IS A KNOWN ISSUE BUT NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGE TO FIX THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS THE PIECE IS MALFUNCTIONING AND HAS TO BE REPROGRAMMED. WHEN YOU ARE TRYING THIS PROBLEM MAKES THE CAR STALL A BIT AND COULD BE DANGEROUS IF PULLING OUT AND THE CAR IS NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN A HIGHER SPEED.

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW NISSAN SENTRA NOT EVEN 6 MONTHS AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE I HAD TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIRS FOR WHAT I AM CERTAIN WAS A TRANSMISSION, WELL THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. FEW WEEKS AFTER THAT SAME ISSUE SO I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY SAID OH IT'S THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. WELL A MONTH AFTER THAT SAME PROBLEM, TAKE IT IN AGAIN AND THEY SAY OH IT'S ONLY AN OXYGEN SENSOR I BELIEVE THEY SAID AND REPLACED IT. WELL GUESS WHAT? MONTH LATER I AM DRIVING WITH MY WIFE AND 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AGES 11 & 6 ON A VERY BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY SUDDENLY SAME EXACT ISSUE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 35 MPH AND THEN STALLS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING MY FAMILY TO LITERALLY MISS GETTING REAR ENDED BY A SEMI BY MAYBE A FOOT, AGAIN I WAS NEARLY CERTAIN IT'S THE TRANSMISSION HAVE IT TOWED THERE AND AGAIN THEY SAY NO, THIS TIME IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY. I HAVE WROTE CORPORATE, MY LOCAL DEALER SHIP AND ALL THEY KEEP SAYING IS THE WARRANTY IS NOW UP, HOWEVER, IF THE PROBLEM PERSIST THE WILL COVER IT. I AM LITERALLY PETRIFIED TO PUT MY FAMILY BACK IN THIS 🍋 LEMON AND NOW IT LITERALLY SITS IN MY DRIVEWAY REMINDING OF WHAT A POOR BRAND IS. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND FOR 2 YEARS IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP HALF A DOZEN TIMES OR MORE FOR THE SAME ISSUE THAT THEY KEEP SAYING IS SOMETHING ELSE WHEN I AM CERTAIN IT IS THE TRANSMISSION, SO I AM STUCK WITH A LEMON AND THE PAYMENTS ON A LEMON THAT MYSELF NOR MY WIFE ARE COMFORTABLE DRIVING FOR FEAR OF THE NEXT CLOSE CALL WITH A SEMI BECOMING REALITY THANKS NISSAN FOR REFUSING TO ADMIT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACING EVERY PART IN THE CAR BUT THE TRANSMISSION.

WHEN DRIVING OUT OF AN APARTMENT COMPLEX MY RPM NEEDLE JUST UP TO 5000 RPM AND WOULDN'T NOT ACCELERATE. ONCE ON THE FREEWAY THE RPM NEEDLE WILL FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 2000 AND 5000 RPM BEFORE ACCELERATING AGAIN. ONCE I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND GOT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE SAME ISSUE THE CAR JUST STOPPED ACCELERATING. EVEN WHEN I FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL THE RPM NEEDLE DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL. SO WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 20 MPH I HAVE TO LET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND PULLED THE KEY OUT THE IGNITION AND THEN RESTARTED THE CAR TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM BUT IT ONLY GAVE ME THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AGAIN BUT STILL WITH THE SAME RPM FLUCTUATIONS AS BEFORE. THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS AND I HAVE TO GET MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I JUST GOT AN OIL CHANGE ABOUT 2 DAYS PRIOR AT 54000 MILES

'TAKATA RECALL' I BROUGHT MY CAR USED AT 34,000 MILES. A LITTLE AFTER I BROUGHT I TOOK IT TO NISSAN BECAUSE IT WAS STALLING AND WAS ACTING LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING ANY POWER., WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY. THEY TOLD ME THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM SO WHEN MY CAR GOT TO 66,000 MILES AND A YEAR LATER IT IS WAS JUMPING, JERKING AND STALLING A LOT MORE. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN DRIVING IN TO WORK AND MY CAR WOULDN'T GO. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WAS ACTING LIKE IT WASN'T GETTING ANY POWER TO THE TRANS. I HAD TO GET OUT MY CAR AND HAVE SOME CO WORKERS HELP ME PUSH IT TO A PARKING STALL. WHEN I GOT OFF WORK I TRIED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AND IT WOULD ONLY GO INTO REVERSE. SO I HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO MOSSY NISSAN . SO I HAD IT TOWED TO NISSAN AGAIN. I FOUND OUT THAT I NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANS ON THE SENTRA ARE REALLY REALLY BAD. ALSO MY WARRANTY WAS UP.

KEYLESS IGNITION FAIL.... WOKE UP IN THE NIGHT WITH A HEADACHE AND DIZZINESS, FINDING OUT MY CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING IN THE CLOSED GARAGE FOR 7 HOURS AND THE SMELL, WHICH WAS CARBON MONOXIDE..... DIDN'T NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION BUT COULD HAVE DIED. CAR WAS IN MY GARAGE, KEYPOD WAS IN MY PURSE ABOVE THE GARAGE NOT SURE IF THE DISTANCE WAS AMPLE FOR AUTO SHUT OFF, BUT CAR KEPT RUNNING AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL 3.A.M. I LEFT MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AT 4 P.M. *TT *JS
