2013 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. HAD PROBLEMS MOVING THE SENTRA OVER TO BREAKDOWN LANE DUE TRAFFIC AND THE SUDDEN DE-ACCELERATION. THE SENTRA REQUIRED TOWING 60 MILES BACK TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT OUR, THE OWNERS, EXPENSE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED, NOTING THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THE SENTRA. OUR 2013 SENTRA HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (CVT) AND LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MILES AN HOUR THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE AND CALL FOR AAA. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED TO THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY ASKED IF THE CAR STILL TURNED ON AND IF SO, DID IT GO INTO GEAR. IT DID SO I DROVE IT TO THEM 7 MILES AWAY. ONCE I GOT TO 30 MPH, THE RPM'S WENT TO 4 AND WOULD NOT DECREASE UNTIL THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO CETE THE DRIVE. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO NISSAN 3 TIMES PRIOR AND THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A CVT. ONCE THE CAR REACHED OVER 60K AND WAS OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE THEY LET ME KNOW IT WOULD BE $4,300 TO FIX. I OPENED A CASE AND NISSAN STATES BECAUSE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED POST WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. I EXPLAINED I HAVE THE DOCUMENTATIOM PROVING I WAS IN THERE PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRING AND THE WOMEN SAID THAT DOESN'T MATTER, THE OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS POST WARRANTY ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES.

MY VEHICLE HAS HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION AND THE RPMS GOING PAST WHAT IT SHOULD UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. THIS ISSUE OCCURS SPECIFICALLY WHEN I ACCELERATE. ON JANUARY 21, 2018, AS I WAS MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY TRYING TO ACCELERATE, MY SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE INITIALLY AND MY RPMS WERE PAST 5. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND CONCERNING AS I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS IN PROPER WORKING ORDER AFTER HAVING BEEN REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. MY CAR DOESN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY AND I WENT TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST WHO ALSO SAID THAT MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I PRESENTED THIS INFORMATION TO THE NISSAN SPECIALIST WHO STATED IT WASN'T AND IT IS FINE. HOWEVER, I'VE HAD INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT OPERATE THE WAY IT SHOULD UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AND PRIOR TO HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.

WHILE ATTEMPTING BRAKING AND BRAKING THE CAR STALLS. ALL LIGHTS TURN ON AND VEHICLE DIES. SOMETIMES RESTARTS AFTER STALL OTHER TIMES IT TAKES AWHILE TO RESTART WHILE ON THE ROADS. THIS A SAFETY HAZARD! IT IS CURRENTLY PARKED NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.

CAR CONTINUOUSLY BUCKS AND OCCASIONALLY STALLS OUT DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 40K MILES FOR THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I PURCHASED THE CAR AT 55K MILES AND ALL SEEMED FINE. NOW AT 70K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM DEALER IN AUGUST 2018 ONLY 6 MONTHS AGO I HEARD A NOISE BUT THE DEALER SAID THAT ALL THE CARS MAKE THAT NOISE THE NOISE HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND I KNOW IT IS A ROD BEARING ANOTHER MECHANIC CONFIRMED THAT BUT DEALER REFUSES TO EVEN DROP THE OIL PAN AND CHECK THE ROD BEARINGS NOISE IS GETTING WORSE BRAD FENTON MOTORS IN ARDMORE OKLAHOMA IS WHERE I TOOK IT TOO. THE NOISE IS WORSE WHEN ENGINE IS COLD AND GETS LESS NOISY WHEN WARM. I SIGNED TO CANCEL MY WARRANTY BUT THE NEVER FINISHED IT HOPING FOR A RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.

CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, RANDOMLY, TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP GOING UP INTERSTATE HILLS, CRUISE CONTROL ON, GOING SPEED LIMITS, TRANSMISSION WILL START SLIPPING AND RPMS WILL BOUNCE UP AND DOWN 500RPMS, TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN, TRANSMISSION REPLACED..DECEMBER 2017....AND REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION IS DOING THE EXACT SAME SLIPPING... I HAVE RETURNED TO NISSAN SERVICE, THEY PERFORMED SOFTWARE UPDATE TO CORRECT PROBLEM, RECEIVED CAR BACK ON 1-5-18, DRIVING HOME, ABOUT 60 MILES I BEGIN UP A INTERSTATE HILL, AND SLIPPING HAPPENS AGAIN, I CALL NISSAN SERVICE AND LET THEM KNOW THE TRANMISSION IS STILL SLIPPING, SERVICE GUY SAYS THEY HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY CAN... I HAVE SERVICE WARRANTY RECORDS AND VIDEOS OF SLIPPING TRANSMISSION... SEEMS NISSAN SERVICE CAN NOT FIX
