2013 NISSAN SENTRA Complaints

2013 Nissan sentra sr 66,000 miles transmission blew out, while driving on the street it sputtered, choked and lost power and started making a loud clanking noise.

CVT Transmission. Yes available for inspection. Vehicle was juddering/flaring Yes confirmed by dealer and independent service center No warning lamps or other symptoms besides the juddering/flaring First appeared around mid June 2021 The ServiceCampaign Bulletin dated 9/28/17 does not include our VIN#... even though the problem is identical! Because our VIN was not included, Nissan refused to compensate us for this problem. There was a class action suit regarding this issue that has now expired. We are asking for compensation as this was a known Nissan issue and this vehicle is still relatively new with low milage.

This vehicle will not go forward or move backward. We were on the freeway ... luckily we were able to get car to drive forward before oncoming traffic hit us We were scared for our lives. We have reached out to Nissan of North America SEVERAL times about this and correcting the issue. We were just made aware recently by an attorney to try reaching out to you. They are refusing to fix issue or a recall vehicles. It is a CTC transmission issue according to mechanics. I was told that a consumer filed a suit against them for this COMMON safety issue but Nissan corporation of North America are refusing to do a recall. They are putting consumers through a lot of red tape so that they can save money while risking human lives. I’m scared that someone will be hit bad or killed because Nissan North America will not do a recall for consumers. I reported to Attorney General in Tennessee, the Home State of their Corporation but they are doing nothing seemingly regarding Nissans’s North America lack of concern for their drivers and consumers.

It was 108 degree outside at 4:30 pm in the zip code of 89052. At a sloped intersection on a major street I stopped for the light. When the light turned green I tried to accelerate the car, it failed to accelerate, the break did not function, and the steering was difficult. The car stalled. The car started rolling downhill. I was able to turn the car to the next street ~20 yards down the intersection. The street had no slope and no other cars at the time. The car eventually stopped. But that was a dangerous incident and it could be much worse.

I was in an accident a guy hit my front right side and insurance totaled it . My airbags never deployed

My 2013 Nissan Sentra CVT transmission prematurely failed at 82,000 miles and is available for inspection upon request. One year ago (2020) my car started to shudder and stall when going from a stop, at 75,000 miles. I took my car to the Nissan dealership and they said that they felt the same issues when test driving it and contacted Nissan HQ to see if I qualified for the extended warranty. Nissan HQ requested that they check the transmission fluid and run some diagnostic tests and check for specific codes. In 2020, the Nissan dealership did as requested and found that the transmission fluid was black and smelled burnt or spent but reported that there were no shavings in the fluid. In 2020, they also could not get the specific diagnostic codes that were requested by Nissan HQ. When Nissan HQ got these results, they said that all my car needed was a transmission fluid change, even though this year's model is known to have CVT premature transmission failure. Currently, in 2021 my car started shuddering and stalling again along with new problems such as: kicking when putting the car in reverse, trying to shift gears at inappropriate times, RPMs racing even when on a flat, straight road with cruise control on. I took my car to get inspected by the Nissan dealership again and this time they told me that my car has "internal transmission failure" and is not recommended to be driven. The price for a new transmission is 4343.93 which is worth more than the car. Nissan HQ refuses to pay for this even though they know that this transmission has this problem. Nissan HQ claims that they cannot help due expiration of the extended warranty, this is unfair to people who gently drove their cars and took care of them which delayed the occurrence of the inevitable problem These transmissions are unsafe for the driver and those around and in the car and it is wreckless for Nissan not to have a recall on these transmissions.

PURCHASE CAR IN 2015. ON SEPT 27, 2017, MY TRANSMISSION BLEW. THE WARRANTY COVERED THE REPAIR. ON SEPT 12, 2018, THE TRANSMISSION BLEW AGAIN. I HAD TO PAY $3,106.83 OUT OF POCKET. ON MAY 7, 2021, THE TRANSMISSION BLEW AGAIN! I NOW HAVE NO WARRANTY AND NO MONEY TO REPAIR. I FEEL AS THOUGH I WAS SOLD A LEMON.

TRANSMISSION HAS STOP BEING AFFECTIVE IN A DRAMATIC TIME FRAME. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO PREVIOUS ISSUES, NOTHING CALLED OUT BY THE MANY NISSAN TECHS WHO HAVE WORKED ON THE CAR OVER THE YEARS. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE, THERE IS A DELAY, FOLLOWED BY A HARD JERK INTO GEAR. WHILE ACCELERATING THE CAR STRUGGLES TO PROVIDE POWER THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION. THEN FAILS TO SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING ON ALL ROAD TYPES. WHEN GOING TO ACCELERATE UP A HILL, I HAVE LOST ALL POWER WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR NEEDED TO BE PARKED IN A NO PARKING ZONE, DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER.
