2013 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

BRAKES FAILED TO FUNCTION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP WHILE GOING 35 MPH ON A DRY, STRAIGHT ROADWAY. THE PEDAL HAD SOME TENSION BEHIND IT BUT DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT, KIND OF SPONGY AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. SEVERAL PUMPS OF THE BREAK DID NOT RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT BRAKING SO I SPUN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TO TRY TO AVOID THE CAR THAT WAS STOPPING, BUT COULD NOT CLEAR IT AND MY CAR HAS BEEN TOTALED AND I AM IN PAIN. AIRBAGS ALSO FAILED TO DEPLOY, AND I'D HAVE THOUGHT A 35 MPH CRASH SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUFFICIENT TO TRIGGER THE INERTIA SENSOR.

CAR JERKS AND SPUTTERS WHEN PULLING OFF LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. WHEN ACCELERATING, THE GEARS DO NOT SHIFT WHEN THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO, SO THE RPM REVS HIGH

CAR HAS ONLY 13,987 ORIGINAL MILES. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ACCELERATING FROM ANY SPEED, VEHICLE LOSES ALL THROTTLE CONTROL / RESPONSE, IDLE MAY HANG AT 3200 SUDDENLY DURING ACCELERATION THEN TAKE 30-40 SECONDS TO DROP BACK TO NORMAL. YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE WARNING LIGHTS AND/OR FAULT CODES SET. TRANSMISSION SHIFTING IS ERRATIC OR NONE AT ALL (STAYS IN HIGH GEAR). FAULT CODES IF ANY ARE MOST LIKELY ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT, LOW VOLTAGE TYPE CODES. WARNING LIGHTS MAY BE TRACTION / STABILITY CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE, ABS IN ANY COMBINATION. THE FAULT IS MOISTURE (WATER / CONDENSATION) COLLECTING IN A TAIL LIGHT AND SHORTING THE CIRCUIT WHICH IS CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE / TRANSMISSION ELECTRONICS. THE TAIL LIGHT MAY NOT HAVE ANY SIGN OF DAMAGE / CRACKS / HOLES BUT THE WATER PRESENCE CAUSING THE SHORT CAN DAMAGE OR DESTROY THE TRANSMISSION IF NOT CORRECTED NOT TO MENTION THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A STUCK THROTTLE AT 3200 RPM IN TRAFFIC. NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT HAS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME (WAITING FOR THE ACCIDENTS I GUESS)

MY CAR WAS JERKING WHEN I WAS GOING IN REVERSE AT FIRST. NOW AS I AM GOING FORWARD IT STARTED JERKING. BROUGHT MY CAR IN AND WAS TOLD IT IS MY TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IS A NISSAN SENTRA 2013 WITH 70,800 MILES CURRENTLY ON IT.

LAST FRIDAY THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA STOPPED WORKING WITH 30,024 MILES ON THE CAR. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT WHEN IT STARTED MAKING A NOISE, SO SHE PULLED OVER. SHE SAID IT WOULD NOT MOVE FWD OR REV AFTER THAT. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND ALWAYS TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR ALL SERVICE.

MY CAR HAS AROUND 78000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY DIED AND I NEED A NEW ONE. I'VE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL MECHANICS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH NISSAN AND NORMALLY TRANSMISSION SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 10 YEARS. IT HAS BEEN 4... I AM EXTREMELY UPSET SINCE I OWE 10,000 ON THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR DOWN THE STREET AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. NISSAN KNEW THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH A FAULTY TRANSMISSION AND NOW THEY WILL NOT FIX IT DUE TO SAYING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE AND NEED TO COME UP WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED. 2013 NISSAN SENTRA TRANSMISSIONS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND PAID FOR BY NISSAN DUE TO SELLING CARS THAT THEY KNOW ARE NO GOOD.

FIRST IS WAS THE A/C WENT OUT FRIST THEN THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHEN ME MY HUSBAND WAS HEADED TO WORK ONE DAY THE A EIGHTEEN WHEELER ALMOST RAM INTO USE BECAUSE THE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND WOULDN'T GO ANY WHERE.

MY CAR HAD BEEN "SOFT STALLING" FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS - IT WOULD KEEP RUNNING, BUT AT JUST ABOUT ANY SPEED/DRIVING CONDITION, WOULD EITHER EXPERIENCE A STRUGGLE TO ACCELERATE/MAINTAIN SPEED (RPMS UP TO 6,000 WITH NO WARNING/REASON), START TO DROP SPEED, OR HESITATE/KICK BACK AT ME. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC ON WED, 7/28, AND ON THURS, 7/29, HE TOLD ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED COMPLETELY, THAT IT WAS CYCLING THROUGH GEARS, AND DROPPING GEARS RANDOMLY. HE SAID THAT HE SPOKE WITH NISSAN, AND BECAUSE I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY MILES (72K VS 60K), THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY DON'T ISSUE REPAIR KITS FOR THEIR CVT TRANSMISSION, AND A RE-MANUFACTURED CVT WOULD BE $3900, WITH PARTS AND LABOR. I OWED $6000 ON THAT CAR, AND WAS FORCED TO JUNK IT. NISSAN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO DENY WARRANTY CLAIMS ON THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS, AS THEY'RE AN ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM IN OTHER MODELS.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS AND EVERY COUPLE MONTHS WHILE IDLING IT WILL TURN OFF. AFTER TURNING OFF THE CAR WON'T GO OVER 15 MILES PER HOUR. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN AND NO ONE CAN GIVE ME AN ANSWER. IT'S HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY ROADS AND I AM LUCKY I HAVE BEEN HURT YET. PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT FOR ME THANKS.
