2013 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

TRANSMISSION IS ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO NOT SHIFT ON TIME. IT HESITATED AND WILL EVEN REVUP WITHOUT ME ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY

BOUGHT 2013 NISSAN SENTRA USED AT 25,000 MILES. NO ISSUES OR PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION UNTIL AROUND 89,000 WHEN CAR BEGAN TO JERK WHILE TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS AND THEN PROGRESSED TO SHUDDERING, JERKING, ETC. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC, VERIFIED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS IN HORRIBLE SHAPE AND GOING OUT. WENT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THEY ADVISED THAT WARRANTY WAS OUT AND THAT NISSAN WAS DOING NOTHING TO ASSIST WITH THIS. SAID THEY WOULD BE GLAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION FOR $4,000. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THIS RECALL. THESE VEHICLES ARE DANGEROUS AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS AND CHOOSES TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES TO STOP AND I HAD TO PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO ACTIVATE THE BREAKS. THIS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES ON MY WAY HOME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY EVENTUALLY DIAGNOSED THE CAR WITH A CRACKED MASTER CYLINDER. THE CAR IS ROUGHLY 5 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR PROBLEM THAT IT HAS HAD WITHIN THE MONTH - 1ST THE TRANSMISSION AND THEN 2ND THE BREAKS. THESE ARE 2 OF THE 3 MOST FREQUENTLY REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL. THE CAR IS UNDER 60K MILES. ACCORDING TO MOST SOURCES, THE MASTER CYLINDER IS SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR. NISSAN REPORTS THAT NO RECALL/CUSTOMER EDUCATION HAS BEEN DONE FOR EITHER OF THOSE THINGS FOR THAT MAKE/MODEL. IT SEEMS IRRESPONSIBLE OF THEM.

COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 85,821 MILES. STRANDED AT MAJOR INTERSECTION. TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A COST OF $4000. NISSAN SHOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN ALL VEHICLES.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 85,000. I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS GAINING SPEED; THEN THE CAR WOULD START SHAKING, JERKING AND PAUSING. I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 152 ON MY WAY TO SAN JOSE, CA WHEN MY CAR STARTED LOSING SPEED AND SHAKING. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I MADE IT TO WORK AND STARTED DOING RESEARCH ABOUT WHAT MY CAR WAS DOING AND FIND OUT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. NISSAN TECH. TOLD ME TO CALL NISSAN USA, SO I DID. THEY GAVE A CASE NUMBER AND THEY COMMUNICATED WITH THE DEALER TO CONFIRM THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. NISSAN AGREED TO PAY PART OF THE COST TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM THAT IT WAS TOO SOON FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. NISSAN IS CHARGING ME 2000 TO FIX IT. I HONESTLY THINK NISSAN SHOULD START REPAIRING ALL TRANSMISSIONS WITHOUT A COST FOR CUSTOMERS. THEY KNOW THEIR TRANSMISSIONS HAVE DEFECTS. I WILL TRY TO SELL MY CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS THEY ARE ONLY GOING TO GIVE ME ONE YEAR WARRANTY.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WAITING AND SUDDENLY MY CAR TURNED OFF.. IT TURNED RIGHT ON. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS.

NISSAN 2013 SENTRA HAS A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION. HAVE TO STICK SOMETHING INTO THE GEAR SHIFT IN ORDER TO DRIVE. CAR STUTTERS WHEN PRESSING THE GAS AS IF IT'S SWITCHIBG GEARS. ALSO, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE MIDDLE SEATBELT I GOT FIXED. SEAT BELT WAS USED ONCE PROPERLY AND HAS BEEN LOCKED EVER SINCE. NISSAN WILL NOT FIX THESE MALFUNCTIONS UNLESS I HAVE A LETTER ABOUT THESE ISSUES. THESE ISSUES ARE KNOWN RECALLS FROM PREVIOUS NISSAN SENTRA OWNERS AS WELL.

BOUGHT CERTIFIED USED WITH CARFAX IN FEB. 2018. CAR SHUDDERING/JERKING/GRINDING WHEN ACCELERATING, STARTING AT AROUND 70,000 MILES. I ASKED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME I WILL NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION - AT 79,000! HAPPY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY, SO HOPEFULLY IT IS COVERED. SHOULD'VE BOUGHT ANOTHER HONDA OR TOYOTA.

AS I WAS GOING 60MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH HIGH TRAFFIC MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN NO MATTER HOW MUCH I STEPPED ON THE PEDDLE. I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE CAR GO BY SHIFTING THE GEARS. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO MOVE. ANOTHER TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS CROSSING INTERSECTION SPEED LIMIT IS 35. IT STARTED TO LOOSE POWER AND I BARLEY MADE IT PAST THE INTERSECTION. MY NISSAN DEALER STATES IT ISN'T MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READY MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE ABOUT NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION. IT'S DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING A CAR LIKE THAT.

I ALMOST DIED TODAY ON A BUSY FAST STREET MY CAR TURNED OFF WHILE IT WAS ON AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO PRESS THE BRAKES AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS LOCKED IF IT WASN'T FOR MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WORKING AND THEY'RE BEING A PART OF THE LANE THAT WAS VACANT AT THAT SECOND I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD THERE WERE CARS FLYING THROUGH THAT STREET. THIS IS A COMPLETE HAZARD TO MY LIFE AND TO MY FAMILY'S LIFE AND TO THE LIVES OF OTHER CIVILIANS DRIVING. NISSAN WILL HAVE A SERIOUS LAWSUIT ON YOUR HANDS IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME AND MY FAMILY BECOMES AWARE THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRIC ISSUE. I'M GOING TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP BUT IF THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT FIXABLE OR THEY MAKEUP SOME ISSUE WITH MY CAR THAT WAS TRULY ISN'T THE PROBLEM AND THEY'RE ONLY DOING THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND THE ACTUAL PROBLEM THAT CAUSED THAT STALL IN THOSE MATTER OF SECONDS I WILL BE SEEKING LEGAL ACTION AGAINST NISSAN. I BABYSIT PEOPLE SO I AM PUTTING THOSE KIDS LIVES AT RISK DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THAT I SO DEEPLY DEPENDED ON FOR EVERY DAY METHOD OF TRAVEL. EITHER NISSAN IS GOING TO TO FIX THIS VEHICLE OR YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THIS CALL A LEMON AND DO A RECALL AND PROVIDE THE CUSTOMER WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS ACTUALLY SAFE AND NOT GOING TO POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY
