2013 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE PROGRESSING WITH THE CVT, WHICH CAUSED A STRONG JERKING VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO SLOW TO CHANGE GEARS WHILE SHIFTING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO CHANGE GEARS FROM DRIVE INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE TO TRY TO PREVENT THE FAILURE, WHICH HAD NOT WORKED IN MOST INSTANCES WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER (CONYERS NISSAN, 1420 IRIS DR. SW, CONYERS, GA 30094, (678) 233-2448) INITIALLY STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN/TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTED THE DEALER NOT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY AND TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY. THE VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AND, WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS OF OBTAINING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER, THE CONDITION WORSENED AND THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE UPON CHANGING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A WARRANTY CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER AWAITING REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TT

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SV I PURCHASED USED. NOW TWO YEARS LATER AND OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY PERIOD I AM GOING ON 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF AT THE SHOP FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THEY UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER, DIDN'T FIX IT, THEN THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR, THIS ALSO DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE, NOW ONE WEEK FROM MY LAST VISIT TO THE SHOP ITS BACK IN. THERE ARE NO RECALLS HOWEVER THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING IF I PRESS ON THE GAS IT RANDOMLY DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE OR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE. AT ONE POINT THIS LEFT ME IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT OR EVEN KILLED IF THE CAR DRIVING TOWARD ME HAD NOT SLOWED DOWN. WHILE ON THE FREEWAY I WENT FROM 65MPH TO STRUGGLING TO GET TO 20-40 MPH AND HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE AFTER A 15MIN FREEWAY DRIVE IT REFUSING TO ACCELERATE WHEN TURNING ONTO A MAIN STREET AFTER A SHORT STOP. AFTER MULTIPLE REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND READING ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. PLEASE RECALL!

I HAVE GOTTEN 6 RECALLS FOR MY CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT 3 MONTHS AGO FROM CROWLY KIA IN BRISTOL CT. 5 OF THE RECALLS ARE FOR AIRBAGS AND 1 OF THEM IS FOR THE ELECTRICAL AND THEY ALL POPPED UP ON MY CREDIT KARMA ACCOUNT ALL IN RED, SO I'M TAKING THAT AS THEY NEED TO BE FIXED AND I HAVE CALLED NISSAN AND THEY ARE SAYING THAT NON OF THEM ARE SHOWING UP IN THEIR DATA BASE BUT WHY DO I HAVE THEM ON CREDIT KARMA ALL IN RED? I HAVE THEM ALL PRINTED UP WITH THE CAMPAIGN NUMBER AND RECALL ID NUMBER AND CREDIT KARMA IS TELLING ME THAT THEY NEED TO BE FIX WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE IN RED AND NOT GREEN. SO CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CALL ME AND EXPLAIN THIS TO ME AND I CAN TELL THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH IS ONE OF MY RECALLS. MY NUMBER IS (860)776-8239

BRAKES HAVE UNUSUALLY LONG PEDAL TRAVEL COMING TO A FULL STOP. AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP, ADDITIONAL PRESSURE IS REQUIRED TO KEEP THE CAR FROM DRIFTING FORWARD. INCIDENT HAPPENS REPEATEDLY. WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED, WITH A REBUILT TITLE. I HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AT A GARAGE, AND HAD THE LINES BLED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO AIR IN THE LINES. THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA ON THE INTERSTATE..IT STARTED JUMPING AND JERKING..I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE AND HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHECKED BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM..WAS TOLD PLUGS WERE FINE.TRIED TO DRIVE IT HOME AND IT JUMPED AND JERKED WORSE..HAD NO POWER AT ALL..WOULD NOT GO OVER 40 MPH..HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP..THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON SO THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.MY CAR HAS BEEN THERE FOR OVER A WEEK AND THEY HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT SHOWING A CODE..THIS CAR ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 61,000 MILES AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING SERIOUS PROBLEMS..NOW I AM PAYING FOR A CAR THAT'S NOT DRIVE ABLE..I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT..SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT NISSAN SELLING THESE UNSAFE CARS..

IN THE FUEL PUMP THE WIRE PLUG IS BURNED AND IT MAKES CRACK. BECAUSE OF THAT GAS IS LEAKING.

I WAS ON THR HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH BUT ONCE THE TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN, WITHOUT WARNING I COULD NO LONGER GET GOING ONCE I CAME TO A STOP. THE CAR SQUEELED AND EVEN THOUGH I FLOORED IT, IT STALLED OUT. ONLY AFTER CUTTING THE CAR OFF ANF BACK ON DID IT ALLOW ME TO RESUME BUT IT WAS A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP.

TAKATA RECALL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STALL IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER. IT SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME BUT AS I DROVE LITTLE BIT MORE IT STARTED TO JERK AND I COULD NOT GO OVER 25. I PULLED OVER CUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND TRIED TO PULL OFF AND IT JERKED SOME MORE BEFORE IT PULLED OFF AND THEN I COULD GO ONLY 25. AT EVERY RED LIGHT I HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF AND ON JUST TO GET THE CAR OUT THE ROAD. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP TODAY AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE A ARM AND A LEG SAY MY WARRANTY ENDED AT A 100K AND I GOT THE CAR WITH 37K MILES ON IT. I DONT THINK THAT IS RIGHT. THEY TELL ME I HAD A WARRANTY FOR A 100K MILES BUT WHEN IT TIME TO FIX SOMETHING THE WARRANTY IS UP. I SHOULD STILL HAVE 30K LEFT BEFORE MY WARRANTY GOES OUT. BY THE WAY THIS STARTED ON APRIL 23RD 2018 THIS AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER SHIP ON APRIL 25TH.

TAKATA RECALL ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON A LOWER GEAR OR NOT TRANSITIONING TO A HIGHER GEAR. THE MOST NOTICEABLE ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE RPM'S GETTING EXTREMELY HIGH WITH LITTLE OR NO INCREASE IN OVERALL SPEED. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE MY SPEED THE VEHICLE SLOWLY ACCELERATED UP TO 45 - 50 MPH BUT THE RPM'S REFLECTED 6,500+ BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO JERK AT THIS POINT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO MOVE TOWARDS THE EMERGENCY LANE/SHOULDER FEARING THAT IT WOULD ABRUPTLY STOP WORKING OR LOSE MOMENTUM. THIS INSTANCE HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS DURING THIS DRIVE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND IT SEEMED TO STOP AFTER THE SECOND TIME I PULLED OVER BUT ONLY AFTER I CYCLED THROUGH THE PARK/NEUTRAL/REVERSE/DRIVE/LOW GEARS A FEW TIMES. BASED ON THIS SECOND INSTANCE, I FEEL THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE VEHICLE.
