2013 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

CONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION REVS UP AND DOWN AND JERKS THE CAR FORWARD AND BACKWARD. THIS IS A NEWLY REPLACED TRANSMISSION IN APRIL 2018. THE LAST TRANSMISSION ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHEN COMPLAINED THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUE. AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED RIGHT AFTER IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE. I PAID $3700 FROM POCKET TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, AND IT IS FAILING AGAIN.

MY NAME IS [XXX] I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY WIFE [XXX] THE VEHICLE IS 73,000 MILES WITH FREQUENT OIL CHANGES AND CHECK UPS. THE TRANSMISSION WENT ON THIS VEHICLE AND I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. AFTER MY MECHANIC DID A DIAGNOSTIC REPORT AND EXTENSIVE RESEARCH HE FOUND THAT THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED ME THAT NISSAN SAID THEY ARE AT FAULT AND WILL PAY FOR HALF THE PRICE OF A NEW TRANSMISSION. I AM A DISABLED, RETIRED VETERAN AND CANNOT AFFORD $3000 TO PUT IN A VEHICLE THAT NISSAN KNOWS THEY ARE AT FAULT FOR. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES ON IT AND MY MECHANIC SAID THAT IT SHOULD DEFINITELY NOT HAVE ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS . I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ATTACH ARE ALL THE REPORTS FROM NISSAN, MY MECHANIC, ETC. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SHUTTERING, DELAYS WHEN SHIFTING, RPM CONSTANTLY BOUNCING UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING, ENGINE REVVING SUDDENLY WITHOUT GAS BEING APPLIED. VEHICLE JUST GOT TO 71,000 MILES

WHILE DRIVING, MY VEHICLE FREQUENTLY VIBRATES AND CATCHES WHENEVER I ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THE TRANSMISSION OF MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THOUGH IT IS UNDER 100,000 MILES AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 5 YEARS. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE REV UP HIGH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED THE CAR AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT JUST REV UP HIGH WHILE IN DRIVE. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND TRIED TO CUT THE CAR BACK ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP. IT JUST MADE A SPINNING SOUND BUT WOULD NOT START BACK UP.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY. I HAVE THAT ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN VEHICLES FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS. THE ONLY WAY TO OVERRIDE THE ISSUE IS TO REMOVE THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT AND INSERT A JEWELER'S SCREWDRIVER TO COMPRESS THE LOCK ALLOWING THE VEHICLE THEN TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THIS HAPPEN TO ME SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I LEARNED ABOUT THE USE OF THE SCREWDRIVER, WHEN IT FIRST STARTED THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD OCCASIONALLY FREEZE UP. I WOULD WAIT A FEW SECONDS RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD RELEASE. THE COAST TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN MANUFACTURE PROBLEM RANGES FROM $600 TO $900 WHEN YOU CALL THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT SCAM THAT NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO RESOLVE AS THEY MAKE MONEY FIXING THEIR OWN DESIGN FLAW. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ANY TIME YOUR VEHICLE IS IN THE PARKED POSITION ON THE GEAR SHIFT. IT OCCURS WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE, IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE STUCK IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR IS PUT IN TO PARK SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE BREAK. I HAVE NOT PICTURE TO UPLOAD. I AM PROVIDING THE YOUTUBE VIDEO BY NISSAN THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM EXISTS. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=B7ERIQY9E8A *TR

TRANSMISSION BLEW AT 39,000 MILES. DEALER SAID WE NEEDED AN ABS SENSOR, COST TO US 600.00 SO THEY REPLACED. DEALER DROVE CAR AND CAR DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OUT OF THEIR LOT. TRANSMISSION FAILURE. 5 YEAR 60,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED MARCH 2018. NISSAN NOT WILLING TO EXTEND OR COVER REPAIR. COST TO REPAIR 5000.00 WE BOUGHT CAR 2 YEARS AGO ONLY HAD 25000 MILES.

CAR'S TRANSMISSION BEGAN FAILING WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. CAR WOULD SLOW AND NOT ACCELERATE WHEN NEEDED. CAR NEEDED TRANSMISSION REPLACED.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON MY VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STOPPED ON A 65MPH TOLLED HIGHWAY WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO SOUNDS, NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD, ETC. ALL AT ONCE, THE TRANSMISSION JUST STOPPED GOING INTO GEAR. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARDS. WE WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND CAME INCHES FROM A PILE-UP. THE SITUATION WAS INCREDIBLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. NOT TO MENTION, MY DAUGHTER HAD JUST COME OUT OF SURGERY. COME TO FIND OUT, THERE IS EXTENSIVE INFORMATION ON HOW FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION IS. WE ARE FAR FROM THE ONLY FAMILY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE. IT'S EXTREMELY COMMON. YET, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND THERE IS NO OPEN INVESTIGATION INTO NISSAN. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE BEING KILLED? MOST LIKELY. THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY, DANGEROUS AND GOING TO TAKE SOMEONES LIFE. NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND HAS DONE NOTHING. THEY HAVE NUMEROUS TSB'S ON IT. YET, THEY HAVE DENIED CUSTOMER'S CLAIMS, HAVE NOT EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE PART AND DO NOT TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUS. I URGE THE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE.
