2013 NISSAN Sentra

Car stalls in middle of interstate. Will not accelerate. Seat Belt light and cruise control light keep coming on while seat belt is fastened and cruise is not enabled. Continues to stall almost causing several accidents. Continues to be an issue. Hard to put into reverse. Sometimes will not accelerate at any given time.

My transmission is starting to slip a couple times on my daily commute on the 4 lane expressway where it suddenly loses acceleration and revs really loud, i’m afraid of getting rear ended with no brake lights and just instant deceleration at speeds above 60 mph. This is my 2nd transmission with just 111k with the first being replaced at 55k or so. Needless to say i’m going to need a 3rd transmission if its anything life that last time, this is just the beginning and it only gets worse from here

Was driving on the highway and the engine rev up high. I pulled over to the shoulder and I notice the car would not move.

Transmission needs replacement at 69k miles. Nissan is unwilling to assist. I have a severe Developmentally delayed child with Turner Syndrome. I am concerned about the safety of her riding in this vehicle. My wife often takes here in bad areas of town for doctors visits ( only place for her specialists) and across a long two lane bridge with no median. If this should go out during these times it could be devastating.

We complained immediately after purchasing (new) the car about the transmission. The dealer said that it was normal for that transmission and didn\'t document our complaint. We also mentioned several times to our mechanic about not being happy with the transmission. He contacted Nissan and was told that there was no problems with the transmissions and no recalls. The night that the transmission \"went\" I was traveling on the turnpike with my granddaughter. The car felt like it wasn\'t getting the gas, started bucking, smelled and sounded horrible. I barely managed to get off the turnpike and to a safe place to stop. I had to be towed home. We haven\'t decided whether to have the car fixed or to lease a car. Research shows many people still unhappy with the Nissans after repairs have been done.

Transmission failure. Jerking and lack of acceleration.

We bought a new 2013 Nissan Sentra for our daughter. It is about 1 1/2 years old with about 17,000 miles on it. She was on her way home from school, in stop and go traffic, and had just accelerated when she attempted to stop again. She said she tried to stop but the brake pedal went all the way to the floor with no resistance. She then tried pumping them and they locked up and the car wouldn’t stop. So, she rear ended the car in front of her and BOTH of the airbags deployed. No one was in the car with her and there was nothing in the passenger seat. Most of the expense to repair the car was from the airbags deploying.

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.

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

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.

Transmission very sluggish especially trying to accelerate uphill. periodic lost of power while driving. jerking motion when turning.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated while driving 60 mph, the vehicle started to hesitate. the contact stated no warning light was illuminated. the contact stated she decided to drive the vehicle that way. the contact stated while driving up a hill at 25 mph, the vehicle failed to move forward and started rolling backwards. the contact used the parking brake to park at the bottom the hill. the vehicle was not drivable. the vehicle was towed to nielsen nissan (59 us-206, stanhope, nj 07874, (973) 347-2200) where it was diagnosed with needing the transmission to be replaced. the vehicle had been repaired. the manufacturer had been informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

The transmission on this car shredded itself to bits in a day at 86k miles. it made a very mild grinding noise going into work in the morning on an expressway and driving home the same night it sounded like the engine was about to jump out of the car. revving engine with no power only for it to launch like a rocket with no warning, terrible clunking, stalling, the works, especially at a stop-start. i've researched online and found that this is a very common problem and that nissan is fully aware that they break around 80k miles and choose to do nothing about it.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated while driving at various speeds, the transmission would fail and the vehicle would start to shake. the contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer informed the contact that manufacturer had extended the warranty on the vehicle and to contact the manufacturer for assistance. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

'takata recall" i bought my car brand new, i've only had it for 3 years and now i need to replace my transmission. i took my car in for an alignment, i was shown where there is a leak on the transmission. i've taken it to 3 separate mechanics. unfortunately, because its a cvt type of transmission, only nissan is able to fix it! nissan won't budge on the cost of repairs, they have an i don't care attitude about it. it's a damn shame that nissan is building faulty transmissions and won't stand behind their product. i am literally kicking myself in the ass for buying a nissan. once upon a time, nissan was known to make excellent quality cars that were built to last a lifetime. this is my first brand new car, but not my first nissan. i am extremely disappointed! i will never again purchase a nissan! i will discourage everyone i know from buying nissan vehicles! what a disgrace!!!!

Nhtsa recall number: 16v-242 i went to my local nissan dealership (9010 liberia avenue manassas, va 20110) on 6/22/2016 to have the recall done by appointment but they could not perform the service as they did not have the necessary part. i was instructed to await a new email appointment but despite multiple phone calls and emails, i can't seem to get anyone to respond. i went back physically today at 9.15am 11/2/2016 but again i was told the necessary parts are not available. i don't know if they want to wait till somebody actually dies to take care of the recall. do help.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact was unable to restart the vehicle. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed replacement. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 53,230.

Vehicle wouldn't accelerate going up a small hill. rpm's increased to 4000-5000 range but no power. took to dealership said cvt transmission failure. 83,000 miles, 3 years old.

The transmission on my car has now been replace twice, the car shakes, jolts and shut off. now for a third time while driving on the street the car shock hard and the transmission and engine fell. the car was unmovable. it was so dangerous i was in morning traffic and 3 cars almost hit me because the car stop in the middle of the street. had to get the car towed to the dealership and now waiting to see with what excuse the come out with. car always shakes since i tog it new in 2013. *tr

My nissan is a 2013 sentra the transmission gave out at 103,000k. 3k over the drive train warranty.

The transmission will not come out of gear. vehicle will start and come out of gear once you hit the gear shift several times. started the issue last month 09/05/2016. no other incident took place prior. the vehicle was stationary on flat ground in the driveway every time it has taken place. if you put it in park once you finally get it out of park it take about 45 minutes of working with it to get it back out.

I am filing this complaint against the nissan motor cooperation for faulty craftsmanship in 2013 nissan sentra that i purchased in jacksonville,fla. i have had to take my car autonation nissian in orange park fla three times due electrical shortage in the car electrical system.while driving the car, the car traction control light comes on all over sudden. the car then brakes and slows down. i attempted to try and turn off the traction control light but then a second light appears on the dash board. in addition you also lose acceleration when this happens.the mechanic,shop foreman,and service advisers came to conclusion that this is due to excessive moisture in the taillight which causes the car to automatically brake while driving and causes a shortage in electrical system. i was advised that the tail light should have been sealed at the factory. nissan wants me to pay $491 which i dont have. they then said i would only have to pay a $100 of which i dont have. since i have had this nissian sentra i have had nothing but problems in what was suppose to be a brand new car.this is a very dangerous problem and could cause a bad accident with this car electrical system shorting out. i feel that nissan should be responsible for all cost because i not the one that manufactured the car and i shouldn't be held liable for there poor craftsmanship.

Was a recall on passenger airbag sensor and i had that done but sometimes the light staying on when someone in the seat . and yes theyre over 100 lbs . i have taken pictures but the dealership will not look at them .

While traveling on the interstate during morning rush hour, my 2013 nissan sentra started shaking and vibrating. the engine began making sounds, and since i was in stop-and-go traffic, i noticed that when i stepped on the brakes or tried to accelerate, the vehicle wouldn't respond. the rpm meter was jumping all over the place. when i tried to accelerate, my car wouldn't move, and then would jerk forward suddenly. this all made driving on the highway very scary, especially since the problems came about suddenly. i would have to keep an overcautious distance from other vehicles because i wasn't sure when my car would decide to stop or speed up. all of this was happening and the check engine light never came on. the transmission has had a recall before, and i have seen hundreds of consumer reports of others with the same complaint. my vehicle is only 3 years old, i am the first owner, and i have kept up with all service requirements. call the dealership and was told the transmission needs to be replace, that this cars continuing to have this issue since the begining of the cvt transmission on the sentras i think nissan needs to take responsibility for putting cars with unsafe transmissions on the road, my family own many nissan vehicles and they are good products with some exceptions

My wife was driving are 2013 nissan sentra sr on the freeway trying to get in the car pool lane with my 7 year old son and 2 year old son and the car would not pick up speed...i test drove it it worked fine but when i turned the lights on it wouldn't pick up speed this is only happening when my lights are on ....took it to nissan they replaced transmission said it was from my back taillight having water in it and they will not pay for a new tail light my car only has 51000 miles it's still a fairly new car . i've been reading a lot online and other people are having the same issues with the nissan sentra.

First had to replace fuel pump at 29,000 miles, then on a trip to key west, the car, starts to jerks and loses acceleration, couldn't accelerate do to the gas pedal unable to accelerate the vehicle, kept pressing until it started to accelerate again. had to turn around and head home. this vehicle a little over 3 years old and 30,000.

Car stalls in the freeway 3 times with no apparent reason.took it to dealership and they said it was to hot and the cars stalls.finally sold it to afraid to drive it.car only had 10,000 thousand miles.this car is a lemon car.i almost got killed twice.just stall in the middle of the freeway.notified dealership and they did not care.

In very hot weather the car will shake when stopping or sitting at a traffic light and occasionally the engine will stop. the engine has also stopped while the car is moving. this only happens on very hot days.

While driving the car would lose acceleration. the first time it had happen it was around april 2017 on a hot day. i thought maybe me turning the air on plus with the heat that it was the reason for the malfuction, but then it did it again a few days later while i was turning onto a busy intersection. i took it to a close friend of mine to ask if he had any known solutions to why i am losing acceleration while driving. but he didn't know of any. so for a while it was driving normal...at least i thought. my daughter had used the vehicle and i forgot to tell her about the acceleration issue, but she almost got into an accident due to the lost of acceleration. i then started paying more attention and was going to take it somewhere professional to get it looked at.unfortunately i did not get it looked at fast enough as the acceleration went out again and caused me to have an accident. as i was driving and coming around a curve the acceleration once again left and as i have done in the past hit the pedal multiple times to try to get it to rev up so that i can drive. only this time and after hitting the pedal multiple times it jerked and rev hard which startled me and i loss control of the car. my car flipped over 3 times. by the grace of god i survived. puzzled and trying to get my self back on my feet i started to research what potentially could have been wrong with that car only to learn that i was not the only person who experienced this with sentras. i am glad others was safe, but i also feel that when i purchased this car from carmax that any and all recalls should have been pointed out to me. or at least something from nissan due to me being a new owner pointing out any issues they had with these cars. this not only traumatized me it also cause me to be labeled with insurance compaines as (at fault) driver. meaning my insurance payments have skyrocketed. ..updated 08/04/17 *bf updated 08/07/17 *bf *cn *js

Vehicle will not change shift gears unless the shift lock button is used.

2013 nissan sentra transmission failed at 78,600 miles without any warning while we were traveling on a busy highway on the way home from a long road trip. while driving at an speed of approximately 70-75 mph in tn on the highway the vehicle began decelerate and the rpm's just kept revving up. it was just me (a female) and my two year old daughter in the vehicle. i attempted to the emergency shoulder with my hazards on trying to avoid being hit by a transfer truck and several vehicles. i shut the car off to see what was going on and was afraid of what just occurred. i started the engine back and it began driving fine for about 10 mins on the highway and then it decelerated again near the atlanta area and totally driving power. i was 3 hours from home and had to call for help. i immediately called the dealership the next morning and advised them of the issue and engine codes received from an auto store. i then contacted nissan consumer affairs to notify them of the transmission failure and they advised to simply take it to the dealership for repair since it was outside of warranty. the dealership quoted us a price of $3600 before taxes and advised that they have several issues with cvt transmissions but that’s just the nature of them. i have concerns that this is a potential safety hazard while driving on the highway after review and in depth research of the faulty transmission issues several nissan owners have faced in the past few years. additionally, the cost effectiveness of the issue is causing hardship on customers that rely on the brand and safety features nissan is continuing to advertise. nissans commitment: dear nissan sentra owner: nissan is committed to providing the highest levels of product safety, quality and customer satisfaction. (statement is null and void per this concerned customer)

My 2013 nissan sentra sl is over reving causing the car to stall while driving at normal speeds. this has happened a number of times, im having to pull off the highway and turn vehicle off for it to function correctly. this issue is on going every single day when i drive.

The ocs does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag is deactivated. failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk injury or death to the passenger. this issue has been escalated to the elk grove nissan repair center multiple times. elk grove informed me they reset the programming of the sensor and uninstalled and installed the seat to try to resolve the issue. the issue continues to occur especially when the vehicle has been parked on a non level surface for a period of time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to come to a complete stop. the contact had to exert additional pressure to the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 65,000.

The vehicle wont stop at times. the brake pedal has to be pumped. at times when braking the car the pedal goes to the floor and tries to creep even when brakes are applied. very bad feeling-had new pads and rotors just installed

The transmission keeps slipping. the car has 77,000 miles on it and the dealer is stating the transmission needs to be replaced. cost to replace the transmission is $4,800. apparently this is an issue a lot of nissan owners are having with defective cvt transmission and nissan is not taking responsibility.

Takata recall. driving from home from a road trip, i stopped to get gas about 300 miles from home when all of a sudden my car would not move when trying to leave the gas station to get back on he interstate! im furious ive only had this 2013 nissan sentra sr for 3 going on four years and to hear that my transmission has to be replaced is ridiculous!! ive only owned nissans and for my transmission to go out on me in such a short time is terrible. these cvt transmissions need to replaced asap. i can not come out of pocket $4,500 to replace this transmission, the sad part is i still owe on the car!! help, please.

Transmission has to be replaced at 34,000 miles, just got the diagnosis done on it today. couldn't accelerate in interstate traffic, rpms stuck. a few weeks later, was going downhill and car speeded up, again rpms stuck. this was on a country road

Takata recall. when yu take off & it gets up in speed the car jerk. when you stop at a red light or stop sign & then go, it jerk like it's trying to take off. but it barely move & jerk pretty hard. it seem like the car transmission is not changing out. while the car is jerking when you take off. it's like the idles up & down. when you brake it sounds like you walking on squeaky hard wood floor. the airbag does not work at all.i

Intermittant engine misfire, car will shut engine off while driving or ramp up rpm causing car to jerk forward. my daughter was driving 45 mph giing around curve when engine shut off , she coast to side of road. restarted and engine started misfiring. check engine flashed and then went steady. diagnostics showed p02 cyc 2 misfire. cyc 2 coil replaced and now two weeks later the car is misfiring, jerking engine was on, drove to nissan dealer they run diagnostic and it came back with no codes in history.

While driving 50-60 mph, the car slipped into neutral and would not accelerate. i was able to get to the side of the road safely however, it required me to put it in park and then shift back to drive in order to go. the dealer indicated its a cvt issue, which may be suffering from a “cvt belt slip condition,” which is the failure of the chain drive to transfer power through the transmission and accelerate the vehicle.the dealer replaced the transmission (under warranty) and the problem is still occurring. the dealer now has the car to discuss with nissan the next steps.

The nissan sentra accelerate and decelerate at any giving moment on the city street in motion, at a stop sign highway turning it shakes and jerks when ever in motion the brakes lock up the vehicle rev and the rpm meter surge unexpectedly and without warning none of the warning lights work the vehicle is very dangerous took the car to the nissan dealer a couple of times they said i needed an oil change got the oil change still didn't help took the car back up there they looked at the car again and said it needed a transmission and i said how no warning lights are on the guy said they want come on until the transmission is gone and the shift lever wont shift in gear without putting an object in the little square hole next to the lever

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle accelerated and decelerated. the contact also stated that the vehicle jerked without warning. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and changed the oil and filter. the failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to a dealer. the mechanic diagnosed and replaced the brake sensor and flushed the transmission, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 82,915.

Takata recall. the transmission has gone out on me three times since december 30, 2016. the most recent as of 04/03/2017. i almost got killed each time on the freeway. i would be going 65 mph in the middle of the freeway and it would drop to 45mph and eventually could not function. nissan just replaces the transmission but they keep breaking. therefore they keep failing at fixing the problem within my vehicle and put my life on the line. it is considered a lemon and they agreed which is why they gave me the option for them to buy the vehicle back from me or exchange it. i chose for them to give me my refund. i want a recall on this vehicle and others like it because they risked my life more than once and that should not happen to anyone. they're are families in these vehicles and they're lives should not be at stake like this. i researched that i am not the only one who has suffered with this situation with the same make as my car. i have invoices that i can provide if needed. please take action on this. thank you.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving at an unknown speed, the check engine and traction control warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the soy based wire cable harnesses had been chewed and fractured by rodents and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired with more soy based wires and the contact was concerned that the failure would recur. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 42,059.

Been driving the car and notice i was hearing a bad roaring noise soon i heard a loud pop in the back of the car and went to look at the drum on passenger side the adjusters screw had completely broke in peace 94k miles been doing this noise on and off and transmission has tendency to feel like it starts to really hesitate badly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving various speeds,the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle failed to accelerate. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. the failure persisted. the vehicle was taken back to the dealer for the acceleration failure and routine maintenance. the contact was informed of an air bag warning indicator recall. the dealer repaired the vehicle per the recall, but the remedy failed. the contact mentioned that the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated after the recall repair. the contact was unable to provide the recall information. the manufacturer was not notified of the failures. the failure mileage was approximately 33,000.

A few times when stopped at the top of a hill, upon proceeding to accelerate into a turn, my car would jerk forward like i was being rear-ended. the second issue with the vehicle, while accelerating, it would randomly start to shake violently. it was hard to pin-point at exactly what speed this occurred, but i'd guess around 40 mph. when i would release the gas pedal the shuddering would stop. although the car has a cvt transmission, sometimes it would feel like the car would shift gears and the car would rumble slightly. i'd say this occurred around 40 mph as well. i took the car to the dealership and learned the transmission needed to be replaced. the car only has 75,000 miles on it. in doing some initial research, i've learned the pathfinders made in 2013 also had similar issues with the transmission.

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.

The vehicle has one owner, used on daily route to work and a few short trips. 67,000 miles on the odometer. the transmission began to slip at highway speeds causing the engine to rev up and down 500 rpms to maintain speed. problem ceased while in cruise control. problem was intermittent. within two days before getting it serviced, the condition worsened. the transmission began to slip at slow speeds, all conditions, with the fluctuating rpms at highway speeds being 1500 rpms. the diagnosis was a pressure malfunction in the transmission. it destroyed the inner workings of the transmission. debris from the transmission was in the fluid, and the fluid was severely burned. the entire transmission must be replaced at a cost of $4200.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while accelerating from a stop, the vehicle jerked without warning. in addition, the contacted observed that the rpms increased to 7 rpms as if the vehicle was trying to switch gears while driving various speeds. the vehicle was taken to a dealer (battles nissan, 60 macarthur blvd, bourne, ma, 02532) where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted and made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 67,000. *cn

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.

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.

While getting ready to enter a highway, the brake pedal became spongy, and went completely down to the floor. on pumping the pedal, the braking power would come and go. the car had to be towed to a repair shop where it was uncovered that the brake master cylinder had gone bad. the car has only 33279 miles on it and was recently serviced by a nissan dealer.

Transmission jerks accelerating and decelerating between 15-30 mph. warranty is to 60k, however hundreds (if not thousands) of owners have this issue. resetting the ems module did not fix the issue. car needs a new transmission. a car that was pampered for 77k miles should not need a $3,800 transmission. based the number of owners who have this issue, it is a manufacturer's defect, not an owner's issue. no one should have to deal with problem on a new car. the government should investigate.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving at any speed, the brake pedal had to be pumped numerous times for the vehicle to stop and the pedal traveled to the floorboard. the vehicle was taken to a nissan dealer where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 80,229.

Strong pulsation in brake system when pedal is depressed for a time period at stop light. stronger pulsation if wheel is turned to make a turn at a light while pedal is depressed. the aforementioned happens when vehicle is at rest at a light or in reverse and brakes are appiled . also pedal must be pumped to stop car and brakes seem to catch and then release and catch again when stopping ,this caused me to have to pump brakes to stop car. this happens when car is in motion on street . this nissan has had both these problems since 20,000 miles approx.

When idling in drive, reverse, or low, the vehicle stalls with the rpms dropping below 630. no check engine light, no fault codes are found on obdii scanners. transmission is late to engage when accelerating. right before stalling, car will lunge forward and shake. happens when the engine is warm and cold.

Recalls for the following: 1) takata recall; 2) mfg. recall #r1608 ; 3) nhtsa recall #16v-24; and 4) the occupant classification system(ocs) designed to classify the size/weight of front seat passenger, and under certain conditions, automatically turn off the passenger airbag. ocs system is designed ton only deploy front passenger airbag when the front passenger seat is occupied by an adult. the ocs software may incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty when it's occupied. if child restraint system (crs) is installed in front passenger seat, the seat belt bracket could deform and airbag may not deactivate as designed. failure of passenger airbag to deploy during a crash could increase the risk of injury to passenger. if seat belt bracket deforms, this may increase risk of injury to child sitting in a crs installed in the front seat.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving various speeds or parked, there was a strong fuel odor coming from the rear of the vehicle, especially on warmer days. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. there were no recalls on the vehicle. the manufacturer was notified. the failure mileage was unknown. ...updated 05/11/17 *bf *as

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving approximately 25 mph, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle. the front passenger air bag failed to deploy. the contact sustained bruises to the chest and wrist, but did not require medical attention. a police report was not filed. the contact was able to drive the vehicle. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v242000 (air bags). the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 60,488.

Earlier last month began having transmission issues, brought the vehicle to dealership with just over the 60k warranty mark. dealer had the cvt fluid changed, which helped for the next day until the issues returned. now i am getting no response from nissan usa and the dealer cannot find the issues because the engine is throwing no codes. almost 2 car accidents. someone needs to do something about this before a person gets into an accident from cvt.

The dash sensor light that indicates when the passenger airbag is deactivated often lights up while adult passengers are in the seat. typically it takes 15 minutes of driving to reset the light. this happens regularly.

Not even 24hrs after purchasing the car, did my engine light come on. i then took the car to get the emissions test which failed twice. i was told the issue was the gas cap that was then replaced but the check engine light came on again and this time i was told this was due to a small leak in the evaporative system. everytime i fill the tank up this light comes on and i get the message "fuel cap loose" but the cap has been replaced and tightened

Car will not come from park to drive .car is locked into park.

Issue1: the occupant classification system (ocs) software incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. this is happening when the vehicle is in motion or stationary. this life-threatening problem substantially impairs the use and value of my vehicle and also it creates a serious safety hazard. i have been harassed by the local dealer due to their repeated ineffective attempts to fix this issue. issue2: groaning sound from brakes when driving downhill. local dealer couldn't able to fix this issue.

I brought my car into the dealer today for service on two recalls, the cvt, and the passenger airbag. these recalls are updating the computer. on my way home from the dealer, my car would not accelerate properly. when i would remove my foot from the accelerator and reapplied it, there was a long delay in the acceleration. due to this delay i was almost in an accident, because i was not able to accelerate out of the way of an oncoming car. by blowing my horn, i got the attention of the other driver and i avoided the accident. i called the dealer and spoke to the service manager to explain what happened. tomorrow morning i am bringing the car back in to have it checked out.

Luckily, i was in my neighborhood, but my transmission just stopped working out of nowhere. the vehicle decelerated and then wouldn't accelerate above first gear. i've seen hundreds of complaints of nissan cvt's that have had the same issue. many people were affected when entering the highway. nissan offered to cover half of the new transmission as mine was only 3,000 miles out of warranty.

Driving in motion on interstate going 60 and all of a sudden check engine light comes on and then violent shakes and jerks!scary as all get out made me swerve and almost hit traffic beside me!! also going up a hill and lost power had to stop in road turn the car off and then turn it back on. almost got hit from behind!

The vehicle hesitates significantly when acccelerating... axts like it doesn't shift out right.... and bogs down when accelerating at normal speeds.

We have a nissan sentra 2013, we’ve changed the transmission when vehicle had 80,000 miles (almost one year and a half ago), vehicle doesn’t have 30,000 miles and is broken again, while nissan knows about this issue and now they say that they can’t do anything about it. shame on nissan!!! the worst part is that their own dealers know this is a common issue because nissan transmisiÓn builder is cheap and they tend to fail for no reason.

Gas light on check engine light on due to fule sensor level

The vehicle has been having transmission issues recently. when accelerating the transmission causes the car to stop and then to jerk forward and shudder. when reversing this has also become an issue. this is extremely concerning, especially when attempting to reach the speed limit on a highway. even entering normal streets is a cause for concern since the car will stop and shudder suddenly. because of transmission concerns, i took the vehicle to be serviced and was told the transmission was bad but was out of the extended warranty that nissan provided as a settlement in a class action lawsuit regarding the transmission issue which appears to be a systemic problem with nissan's cvt transmission system.

I was merging onto the interstate when the transmission stop pulling right when i got into traffic. the car began to jerk and would not move almost caused me to have a accident because i was not able to get any speed after merging into traffic. i was able to put my blinker on an merge to the shoulder and had to rent a uhaul trailer to pull the car home. my car only have 132,000 miles.

This car was purchased brand new from dealership, car start giving acceleration problems about 3 moths ago, we just had it diagnosed with the dealership and the transmission is bad and has to be replaced, this car has about 87,000 miles, no transmission should be replaced at this mileage, and we run out of the guarantee. i owe nissans for the las 15 years and never had a problem with my vehicles before they start using the cvt (continues variable transmission), i have the same issue with my 2010 rogue, however the power train guaranty into this model and year was extended to 10 years because of the failure in their cvt transmission, i believe that nissan continues to have issues with this kind of transmission and they should be responsible for fixing all vehicles with this kind of problems. *tr

While in heavy traffic on a bay area bridge, the car lost acceleration, started to slow down, even while i pumped the gas pedal all the way to the floor. had it towed to dealer, they said it had to do with cooling fan. after that repair, the same problem happened several more times, always while on the highway, but i found if i kept pumping the gas pedal all the way to the floor it would eventually start to slowly accelerate. after a near-accident on the freeway due to this problem as i drove through san jose, i took the car back in and they replaced the transmission. 2 days later the heat shield fell off while i was driving. 5 days after that, while on the highway traveling at 40mph, the car again lost power, slowly decelerating, despite pumping the gas pedal to the floor. after several attempts to pump the gas it finally started to accelerate again, so i did not pull off the highway. *tr

The transmission has a lot of hesitate and bad vibration while driving. check engine light came on and it's due to small evap leak but have replaced cap and still stays on once awhile u smell gas fumes. *tr

While driving on a highway the vehicle began jerking. it also started jumping forward while taking off and experiencing high rpms. it requires a new transmission to fix at only 101,000 miles. just out of extended warranty. *tr

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the vehicle was struck on the passenger side by another vehicle. the air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed. there were very serious injuries and the contact was flown to the hospital for medical attention. the vehicle was destroyed and towed. the failure mileage was 15,000.

Purchased a 2013 nissan sentra with around 45820 miles on it.2 weeks later the transmission goes out. they replaced because it was still under warranty.received it back with problems. rpm would go up past 5 when acceleraring or passing. complained and never received a call back was told that was normal.. problem continues. even had a supervisor test drive and was told nothing was out of order.contact corporate they send me to a new dealer and its gears that are not shifting correctly. solution another transmission this time they expect me to pay but they are willing to pay half.unacceptable for a problem i been complaining about since receiving the vehicle back.obvious defect in transmission for nisan or in mechanics that work for them

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving approximately 65 mph, the steering wheel shook violently without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

Cvt transmission over heat/ failure at 93000 miles. vehicle after about 1- 2 hours of driving would not move forward or backward while in drive. blocked traffic for about 30 minutes as police officers were getting a tow truck. after car had been sitting while off for about 30 i was able to start and move it off the road. nissan recognizes that there is a problem increased transmission warranty to 84k miles. should be recalled!!! no warning or check engine light has ever come on. nissan = junk!!

My wife was driving down a road going 50 mph when the transmission started shipping and minutes later the car started jerking heavily and lost power while driving i only have around 130k miles and the cvt transmission went from perfectly fine to speed working in a matter of minutes

My car started jerking and all sudden when driving on the freeway it was like loosing its power and then it made a loud jerk also no warnings light came on and the car dealer put a new transmission in about 4 years ago

I have a 2013 nissan sentra, which i have had continuous problems with the transmission. a year or two ago, it locked up and left me stranded. when i towed it in, and they replaced the entire shifter. they also did an "adjustment" to the transmission. this caused the vehicle to drive poorly. it either would have a lag when accelerating, or would rapidly accelerate. i called to complain after the adjustment. the dealer told me it was and adjustment nissan required in order keep the transmission from going out. so i put up with it. unfortunately, i was not able to use the car to teach my kids to drive because of the transmission adjustment. once it accelerated so instantly that my daughter almost ran through the garage. i talked to the dealer and they said the adjustment was needed and there was nothing they could do. now guess what, the transmission is going out. it only has around a 105000 miles. it starts jerking and stays stuck in a low grear. almsot died on the highway. i have had it serviced properly and meticulously. i have put up with the trans adjustment. now the dealer (rikart nissan) wants 4200.00 to fix it. after some research, i have noticed there are tons of class action suits, etc. they say they will not repair or rebuild it. they say it is such a terrible transmission they will only replace the whole thing.

My transmission just gave out on me

The dashboard works sometimes ( little screen) . the seatsealts get stuck everytime i try to use them.

Vehicle has been having acceleration problems since first bought from carmax. transmission was replaced under warranty but vehicle is still not accelerating when going up hills. this vehicle is a major safety problem and liability issue. carmax has failed to address it further and fix it

Transmission started failing, out of nissan’s class action settlement extension to 84,000 miles as my car had 95,000 miles on it. i bought this car brand new and maintained it for my daughter to drive and was hoping it would last her through college. i drove it last friday, traded it in on sunday as cost to repair exceeded the value of the car. was not informed of recall which is odd as only owner of car but regardless the vehicle not safe due to known issues of cvt drivetrain. car would jump, hesitate, no power then it would catch and lunge when gas applied. going downhill seemed to cause loss of power and would actually slow car down causing me to have to accelerate to go downhill and thus pull off road to stop and let the car seem to rest prior to interstate driving. thankful weather not bad when this happened or that my daughter not in a wreck because of this known issue. will boycott nissan products rest of my life. spoke with nissan rep who informed me nothing can be done by nissan to help me. i helped myself and bought a honda.

When the car is stopped and in "park" (the engine may be running or off and you go to start it up), the car will not come out of "park". this happens randomly. to get the car out of "park", per the owner's manual, there is an inset half-circle (8mm) plastic piece labeled "shift lock" next to the shifter that has to be pried off with an appropriately sized tool and then an appropriately sized tool has to be inserted into the slot and pressed down while the shifter is simultaneously moved out of "park" (note: you need to use both hands to accomplish this plus obtain the necessary tools). this happens when the car is stopped and in "park" - while waiting to pick someone up, stopping to drop someone off, in a traffic jam; at a safety check on a highway, parked in a lot, parked in a garage, etc. this problem of the shifter stuck in "park" only happens when the car is not in motion and the transmission has been placed in the "park" position - the engine can be either on or off and you go to start the car.

Transmission has judder, loss of power no matter if on a straightway or climbing a hill which creates a safety issue. this is now a constant issue.

Car has 103000 miles. bought used and after had nissan service campaigns completed and stating car in good shape. then car began high revvving before shifting, occasional shudder when shifting to drive or reverse, then enters low mode with no acceleration. took to nissan dealer and they said needs new transmission. contacted nissan consumer affairs and filed a complaint. they denied the claim only stating car is out of warranty, no offer to at least share the cost. this clearly should be a full transmission recall. do not buy a car with a cvt!

I am having ignition problems. some times the car crank, sometimes it doesn't. my check engine light keeps coming on.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle independently decelerated and on several occasions the vehicle stalled without warning. additionally, while driving the brakes activated independently stopping the vehicle abruptly. the vehicle was taken to rairdon’s nissan of auburn located at 713 35th st ne, auburn, wa 98002, who diagnosed that the cvt transmission was defective and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 70,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that while driving at various speeds, she heard an abnormal tapping noise coming from the engine. no warning light was illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that the cvt transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the dealer had yet to be notified of the failure. the manufacturer had been notified via letter however, the contact had yet to receive a response from the manufacturer. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 112,807.*dt*jb

My transmission has just stopped working i lost power and was not able to drive and i had to pull off the road and restarted my car and drove home. i brought it to the transmission shop and was told my cvt has to be replaced at $4,700 and there is a class action lawsuit that covers to 84,000 miles but my car is now at 94,000 but i think my transmission should be fixed for free

Purchased our 2013 nissan sentra sv in may, 2016. it came with a 7 year cpo, expiration may 30, 2020. within 3 months of purchase i had what i thought was a shifting/transmission related issue. when going from 1st to 2nd gear the car tachometer would rev to 4500 rpm but nut go any faster, then shake/thunk, and go into 2nd gear. from that time until april, 2020, i went in to 4 separate nissan dealerships in 2 states with this problem. each one said they would not look at the vehicle because nissan said they would not fix the problem until the transmission stops working. in april, 2020, my last visit, i explained a new problem occurred. the car could not maintain 65 miles per hour without going into overdrive or a higher gear, and was shifting multiple times into multiple gears. but still nothing would be done by nissan as the transmission did not fail. then, on july 22, 2020, the transmission stuck in 2nd twice. i contacted nissan consumer affairs and explained my situation. a case sheet was developed and i sent in information to them. 8 days later they called me back and said my cpo warranty ended end of may, 2020, so there was nothing they would do. by the way, my case sheet number was 40830236. transmission was replaced this week costing us over $4000. very, very frustrated. i know our cpo ended end of may, 2020. but nissan refused to look at transmission until total failure. i am sending you copies of our transmission replacement bill, a copy from nissan noting transmission needing replacement, and our cpo warranty. thanks for any help you can give us.

Sometimes the shift knob will lock and will not move from the park position. i was in the parking lot and the shift was stuck for about 10 minutes then all of a sudden one could put it into “drive”.

Vehicle suddenly just died as wife was making a left on to busy highway found out class action lawsuit just expired in april this thing should have been recalled for putting lives in danger !! dealership still allowed to sell even though they will not fix issue since call action law suit expired do not buy !!!

The car accelerates slower. on eco mode, the car gets stuck on a gear; sometimes it will get stuck on the second or third gear. for example, today it revved up to 5000 rpm as i was merging onto the freeway and i had to pull over because it was stuck on gear 3.

First time was in san marcos on i-10 freeway while on the way to work while in the middle lane the rpm shot up then back down and the car slowed down real fast to about 20 to 25 mph and with no break lights showing almost got rear ended, luckily was able to pull off with out an accident, and after a couple of minutes started and drove normal. after a couple of week coming home due to the coronavirus and again on the freeway it happened again. towed it to gunn nissan in san antonio tx and filed a complaint with nissan consumer affairs and they did nothing, so the dealership charged me $1100 to fix it, so i payed even tho nissan should take responsibility for the repairs. 6 days after it was so called fixed and again on the freeway rpm shot up the car slowed to 20 to 25 pmh and almost rear end because no break lights came on. returned it to the same dealership and now they say it needs a new transmission $4000. mileage the first about 82,000, and the last time 85,500 nissan new extended warranty 7 years or 84,000 miles and in california 10 years or 120,000 miles why only california. the issue with nissan cvt transmissions are very serious and could have costed my stepdaughter her live. i payed to have it repaired and 6 days later they want me to pay for a new transmission.

When driving approximately 30mph, i pushed my brake pedal to slow for my next turn. the pedal was slightly ineffective, meaning the pressure in the pedal was released and the brake did not halt my car in a safe timeframe. i had to release and press the brake pedal again to feel pressure in the brake system, and was able to slow just in time to make my next turn. this was definitely scary as i've never experienced brake failure before.

My transmission failed while i was driving down a main road. i brought it to the dealer twice before. the first time they told me i had to keep driving it until it got worse. the second time they said nothing was wrong with it. i brought it to a transmission expert 5 days later who took pictures as proof that it was failing. the next day is when it broke down. nissan is producing cars with faulty transmissions and then making their customers pay for it. this cvt transmission needs to be recalled. people's lives are in danger.

We are dealing with transmission failure after only having the car for 4 years. rpm rums up when gas is pressed, leaking oil, car won’t stay cool. in motion, both on city street and highway.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that after moving off from a stop, the vehicle failed to accelerate above 20 mph. there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was driven to the residence. the vehicle was towed to modern nissan of concord (967 concord parkway south, concord, nc 28027, (704) 788-2110) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 99,000.

I was driving on the freeway when my car stopped running i got really scared because i did not know what was going on i had my smaller siblings with me that day and thought the worst when the towing truck picked my car up and i took it to the mechanic they told me it was the transmission and that these nissan 2013 sentras were known to have this problems and that i was not the first in this past months. *tr

I purchased four sumi tour plus lsw tires in october 2016. in october 2018, a bulge was discovered in one of the sidewalls. the company i bought the tires from suggested the tire must have been damaged by a pothole (even though i live in florida where there are few, if any, potholes.) in april 2020, another bulge was discovered in one of the three remaining original tires. both bulges occurred with the tires having less than the 50,000 mile warranty. i contacted the tire manufacturer and was told the bulges were "impact bubbles," which is not a defect, but a road hazard. i find this hard to believe, as i have hit potholes in the past that have actually dented my rim, but never have i had bulges occur in the tires themselves in all my years of driving...let alone two bulges in under two years. *tr *js

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that while driving at approximately 25 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the vehicle was towed to abc nissan service (1300 e camelback rd, phoenix, az 85014) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the transmission was defective, and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 88,464. *bf*jb

My check engine light came on so i took my 2013 nissan sentra (54,000 miles) to the dealership where i bought it new for diagnosis. was advised fuel level sensor code not being read correctly so fuel pump needs replaced. estimate $671 and my diagnosis was $145. i called nissan because there had been a recall, but not for my vin. the fuel pump should last 125,000 miles! very dissappointed with nissan, they said since it was out of warranty they could not offer anything. now i'm just waiting for the well-documented transmission failure to happen. this was my first new car ever, and i carefully researched it before purchase. they certainly aren't making this customer feel taken care of by not taking responsibility for replacing the faulty fuel pump.

I bought my 2013 nissan sentra sr from towne auto brokers 03/2013 i test drove it and it had no shifting problems at that time. 2 weeks later while i’m driving it the sentra started jerking and idling erratically, the rpm tachometer red lined 3 times without the gas pedal being depressed!! while redlining the sentra’s transmission shudder with the erratic jerking all the while decelerating before catching 3rd gear at 4,000 rpm. i was in rush hour traffic 3 miles from home so i decided to try and making it home. while stopped at the stop light the sentra idled normal, then at the green light when i depressed the gas pedal nothing happened( no power at all and the rpm didn’t rise) i was literally stuck in the middle of an intersection not able to move my nissan sentra under its own power!!! i’m afraid that this is a transmission issue that the manufacturer was well aware of before installation in nissan sentra and all other models with this cvt transmission. i believe the nissan corporation should recall all cvt transmission due to mechanical failure resulting in lack of power.

While driving, my car continues to jerk and jerk as i tried to give the car gas. it would sputter and then all of a sudden jump really quick. it finally got to the point where i got stuck at two lights! i finally got my destination and got stuck on the hill. my foot was all the way on the gas pedal and some kind gentlemen pushed my car up the hill so i could park it. it’s very scary as i had my two children in the car with me and for something like this to happen it puts all of our lives in danger. i was driving on a major intersection when this happened. any time o would come to a stop it would stall and it would now allow me to turn. the acceleration would not work. i had to cut the car off twice to try and see if it would restart and give me enough push to my destination. but as stated my foot was completely on the gas and it would not go over 5 mph!

I had to pay over $4,000 for a new transmission. i was told that there was a problem with them. the cvt was bad on tbese nissons 2012-2017 models.

I bought this car at 120,000 miles and have driven it to 139,000. i started noticing my transmission stalling and i revived a letter in the mail a couple times regarding my transmission being recalled. i unfortunately don’t have the letter anymore regarding the transmission.

I was driving on the freeway on cruise control going 70mph when the car started slowing down to the point where i had to pull over. i turned the car off and when i turned it back on it was not accelerating. i had to tow the car to the dealership where they told me i needed a new cvt transmission. my car only has 114,000 miles. the transmission should still be working fine. the car has not been in any accidents/car wrecks.

While in motion the passenger side ball joint did break. this allowed the wheel to become non responsive and caused the drive axle to break. if the vehicle was going at highway speed at the time, there would have been a severe accident to say the least.

The car jerks when accelerating, coasting and braking. the rpm needle moves erratically. this makes the car extremely unsafe to drive as the jerking could easily cause a collision. this has happened on city streets and parking lots, but i have not taken the car on any highways because i fear the possible outcome. the car needs a new transmission at only 93,000 miles. i had to have it towed 2 hours from the location of the jerking to my home.

When driving this car it constantly jerks when coming to a stop. it also jerks when i take my foot off the gas going down a hill. last week when driving to work i put my foot on the break and the engine revved and the rpm needle flew up and got stuck. this should not be happening in a car that is just barely 7 years old. i am also having acceleration problems so i get to endure the fear of not knowing if the car will go when i hit the gas. i've taken it to a mechanic and was told the transmission in this car is the worst transmission ever made. wonderful news. so now my choices are to pay thousands of dollars, on top of the already thousands of dollars i am still paying on the car, to get a new transmission or be terrified everytime i get behind the wheel of my car that i won't make it to my destination. you have made a vehicle that is of poor quality and not worth the money you are expecting people to pay. your car is unsafe for the road. i pray that i am capable enough to be able to handle the clearly inevitable mechanical issues that will undoubtedly happen as i continue to drive this car. you should be ashamed of yourselves.

There was a recall on this vehicle in october 2015. i called the number asked to call and was told to take it to the dealer close to me. when i did that i took the car to nissan deals on automobile blvd in silver spring, i was told that someone has to sit on the passenger sit for the airbag light to go off. i asked what will happen when the car is due for inspection . the technician said that will take care of itself before the inspection time. as i writing thos compliant, the light is still showing and on going to the inspection, i was told that the car has failed inspection because of the airbag been disfunctional. i have called nissan motor and they are giving me the go around and not addressing the issue of the recall that caused my car not to pass inspection. please i need help as the recall issue was not addressed which has caused the problem now.for my nissan sentra 2013.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the stated that when driving at 25 to 30 mph when the brake pedal was engaged, the vehicle failed to come to a stop and caused the contact to crash into the vehicle in front. no injuries were reported. the contact stated that police department provided case number 020-9-018-0182. the stated that the vehicle was taken to a local mechanic for inspection and the mechanic was unable to determine the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. the failure mileage was 52,400.

Santana car will not accelerate when you take your foot off the gas and pick back up

Upon driving my car during a trip home from work the car would not accelerate. i had the gas pedal pushed to the floor and it would not go over 20 mph and the rpm's would not move. once i got on the freeway, the car would hardly accelerate and when it finally did decide to after 10 minutes of driving the rpm's went all the way up and the speed odometer hardly moved. this vehicle is unsafe. i almost got hit in rush hour traffic because the car could not speed up.

The car goes into a limp mode. cannot accelerate past 20mph. mechanic determined my transmission is bad. quoted $4,000 to repair. car has 87, 511 miles. should not be an issue. i was on the highway and almost got hit by other cars.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the check engine light illuminated and remained illuminated. the contact also stated that an odor of fuel was sometimes perceived. the vehicle was taken to a nissan dealer located in college park, maryland, where two codes popped up: p0456 and p101. the vent control valve seal-o-ring 16618-jf00a were replaced. the failure recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 67,000.

Since purchase, and regardless of the number of times i have taken the vehicle in for servicing at the dealership, the car “pulls” to the left while driving.naturally, my concern is that there is something more inherently wrong with the suspension or steering. this problem has been ongoing since i purchased the vehicle as certified from nissan poughkeepsie. the dealership has not yet been able to pinpoint the exact cause.

I purchased my vehicle from a used dealership. i have a 2013 nissan sentra that has the exact same issues as the nissan vehicles from 2010-2012. my transmission feels as if it is slipping, jerking, shuddering and does not gain acceleration smoothly. if i accelerate at all, my transmission will jerk. if i put my car in reverse, it will stall and feels as if it is not getting any gas and the transmission jerks. if i am on a street that is not busy driving under 40 if my rpm gets over 1, it will jerk and feel as if it is going to shut off. when i am driving on the highway at higher speeds of 40, if the rpm increases at all, my vehicle jerks and feels as if it is not getting enough gas. i took my car to firestone on 1/10/20 and they determined that it is indeed the cvt transmission. i had 0 codes appear. i have the document from firestone that reflects that i have no other issues with the vehicle. i was advised by firestone to take the vehicle to nissan. i took the vehicle to nissan 1/10/20 the same day and was told the exact same thing, however the recall does not apply to the year of my vehicle, but i have the exact same issue as the previous year manufactured vehicles. i also have documentation for this as well. they ran a full diagnostic test and found 0 codes. i keep my vehicle in good condition and well kept and service is up to date. this needs to be recalled.

While driving, my car began to sound different and lost power ( no matter how much gas peddle applied the car wouldn’t move forward or backward) i later discovered allegedly it was the transmission. checking with my resources i further suspected the transmission was recalled. i contacted carson dealership ; they said i should bring it in to be diagnosed. i called their complaints department and asked if they could help me my 7 year old sentra (which i’m still making payments on) power train should not be in failure. the representative listened and stated “ they couldn’t help because of the amount of mileage on the car.

The driver airbag light stays on, on the dashboard. it turns on when i start the car and it stays on. one day it was off when i first turned on the car, but as i drove a couple of blocks it turned on. i went to a mechanic and he ran a diagnostics and it came back with code b00a0-00 occupant detection system data 4 sensor - history fault. he suggested i go back to nissan. nissan told me there are no recalls and i would have to first pay $180.00 for them to run a diagnostic test and then pay for any repairs. i am concerned as this is a safety issue, i am not sure if the drivers air bag will deploy. i have never been in an accident with this car and it has low mileage about 12,200 miles. also, i hade the front passenger air bag status light operation recall fixed in 2016.

Second time this has happened, purchased the car brand new from midway nissan, 11/2013, then 07/2014, while driving the car, it completely stopped on us. the transmission had to be replaced at faulkner nissan in pa. once again driving on a major highway in md, with heavy traffic, the transmission gives out, these results were slightly more hectic. my wife has epilepsy and went into a seizure because we were in heavy traffic. i was able to get the car off the highway onto the size of the road. had to leave the car in md, get a rental car from bwi airport, drive back home to pa, my mother and her friend, who was released from the hospital after a stroke had to drive to md, in order for me to use his triple a car to have the car towed from bwi back to harrisburg, pa. my wife drove back with us to md because we needed to make sure my mother almost age 70 and her friend in his 80 was ok. this was a nightmare because mr schull, the triple a member needed to eat and with all this commotion near choked while eating. this is absolutely intolerable. nissan is putting faulty transmission into vehicles. this is serious, work is being missed and a second transmission. nissan needs to be held liable for this. i am reporting this and will also call and file a complaint with nissn today.

While driving on the freeway, the car jerks as if struggling to switch gears. often when i press the gas, the car fails to go faster and it sounds as if i am just trying the engine

Driving on my daily commute to work a a few times a day at random times my sentra suddenly loses acceleration on a 4 lane expressway at speeds of 60mph+, it makes a loud revving noise, and decelerates at an alarming rate with no brake lights, and is an accident waiting to happen, i’ve been through this twice before and it’s the beginning stages of powertrain slowly going, this will be my 3rd transmission and only gets more dangerous and worse from here and yet nissan doesn’t want to admit that it’s slipping and bucking and would rather wait until something bad happens to fix the problem if at all. 2013 nissan sentra with only 111k... this will be my 3rd transmission.

While driving 50 mph, the engine stalled without warning. the vehicle was merged to the side of the road and failed to accelerate until the economy mode was turned off. the failure recurred on numerous occasions. car jerks, shakes, vibrates.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving various speeds, the vehicle would not immediately accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the vehicle was taken to trophy nissan (5031 n. galloway ave, mesquite, tx) where a tune-up was performed, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 80,000.

Been complaining since 2016 about shuddering if car and loss of power. i've had an acceleration issue causing an accident in 2016, reported it to nissan dealership. they ssid i was crazy under 28000 miles at time. have complained since now in oct 10 going on pa turnpike at posted 70mph llost all power almost causing a major pileup! transmission had to tow vehicle off highway then again tow it back to dealership costiing me over 500.00 in tows mileage under 48000. kow they say i need transmission out of warranty must pay 4000.00 to repair it !! this car has been a deathtrap and should not be allowed on the road.. i want the govt to make nissanusa pay for all my repairs towing and get a lifetime warranty. maybe then theyd fix car right !! im afraid to drive it. ive been on 2 major highways one city street when this occured. interstate 5279 and pa turnpike then a pgh city street . i'm just grateful i am alive a d others were not hurt this past oct 10 2019.

The check engine light keeps coming on due to the same air flow problem. every time car is scanned the code comes up as the mass air flow sensor. i have replaced this sensor. my vehicle would not accelerate over 20 mph. my car also idles, jerks when placed in park & has decreased fuel efficiency. the car began to violently shake, was unable to accelerate while on the highway. car rpms increased the car did not move. traffic rapidly approaching behind me.

Master cylinder needs replacing. my daughter could have crashed as brakes went all the way to floor. nissan knows this issue exists with 2013 nissan sentra and no recall?

I bought my car as a used car and the transmission went bad after a year. when the car is moving it jerks very unusually before it changes gears and when i accelerate, the car's rpm shoots up very quickly and comes back down. it keeps fluctuating like that for the whole drive. i then bought the transmission from a 2014 nissan sentra s with a vin "[xxx]" as a replacement but that has gone bad as well. it does the same thing as the previous one that went bad. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I was on a city street. after stopping (i was stopped) at an intersection, i then pressed on the gas to turn left into the lane. at that time, i heard a loud “pop” which startled me. and though the car was in gear (“d”-drive) it would not move forward. i shifted to reverse to see if it would move in that gear. i felt the gear engage and the car did move in reverse. i shifted back to “d”- drive but i did not feel the gear engage nor did the car move forward at all. in addition to the failure of my transmission, i was doubly bothered by the fact that there was never a warning light on the dash to signal a pending or potential problem.

On 10/01/19 my nissan senrta started experiencing jerking and revving which has been continually getting worse. on 11/01/19 an appointment is made to have a transmission evaluation with full expectation of replacement with new transmission.

The cvt transmission is failing .it causes the vehicle to shake and shudder when changing gears. the rpms will rise and fall by itself often. very slow acceleration due to the slippage of the cvt transmission. dangerous to try and merge with or pull out into traffic.

Transmission - acceleration will suddenly cease / rpm's will be stuck at 2500 but car is only going 30 mph. very unsafe when i tried to pull out into traffic and car cannot get up to speed no matter how much i push accelerator. very concerned nissan is not addressing this prevalent issue with 2013 sentra's. my kids drive this car!

I was backing out of a parking space and heard a pop, i was concerned so i pulled forward to see if i heard anything else. my car moved forward about a food and came to a grinding halt. my control arm disconnected from the wheel causing my wheel to slide into my wheel well and pull the axle out of place. had i been driving at speed like some other folks i have heard of, i would be dead or injured seriously. when i confronted nissan they said there's nothing we can do and we're absolutely rude in the service center. i have gotten it fixed but i do not feel safe because what if this happens on another wheel??

Driver airbag lights keep turning on and off on the dashboard. it turns on when i start my car or while i'm driving, and stays on. there are some days where it does not come on in the morning, and then it will come on in the afternoon. right now the light has been on for 2 days in a row.

I took my 2013 nissan sentra in to my auto mechanic (who has been my mechanic for 25 years) because it was shifting roughly and slipping. my mechanic informed me that the cvt transmissions have had problems and recommended i take it to the nissan service department and hopefully, nissan would either cover the cost or cover part of it. i had the car towed to pinnacle nissan, who has serviced kit in the past. they updated some codes but said the transmission was still slipping (this was on a friday). they said they would drive it and see if they could determine the problem. i got another call monday morning, saying everything was fine. i could not get a straight answer as to why it was slipping friday afternoon but "fine" monday morning. i tried calling nissan corporate for some help with the cost to replace the transmission and was told it was my problem. so, the car was still driving exactly the same and, at one point, would not shift! i was nearly rear ended and, fortunately, happened to be close to my auto mechanic. the transmission finally "caught" and shifted so i was able to get it to my mechanic's. he replaced the transmission but it cost me $4200!!! thanks, nissan, for the faulty transmission and for lying to me and for not helping me at all! so, after paying $4200 to replace my faulty transmission, i asked my mechanic to also look at my ac, which was not working well. i live in phoenix, where it is 115 in the summer, so the ac is pretty crucial. i was hoping i just needed a little freon. nope. yet another design flaw from nissan, i had to replace the compressor, the condenser, and switch. so, i have poured $5300 into a car that's worth about $5700! i bought this car in good faith, believing that nissan is an excellent, reliable brand. i am so disgusted i can't stand it!

Faulty transmission

I experienced rpm increasing and decreasing while driving. while this occurred i also experienced the car jerking as if it was having trouble trying to accelerate. eventually it stalled and started going in reverse only. when i turned it off i got the check engine light come on. i didnt want to risk further damage so i had the car towed to a mechanic. he determined that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. he quoted me $3500 to replace it with a new transmission directly from nissan

My transmission will no longer operate safely. it jerks, makes noise, and it still has generally low mileage. the car developed the sound first, so i took it into my local nissan dealer to have the transmission fluid serviced. they informed me at that time that the noise was in fact the transmission and that it was going bad.

These are all of the problems i'm experiencing; loss of power, transmission jerking, transmission slipping, cvt coolant hose leaks and failures. all of these problems happened when i was in motion on major highways and my car couldn't go over 35mph. not only was i endanger my child was also in the back seat to do the fact my car could not accelerate at all!! i've been experiencing these problems for some time now but the loss of power was the last straw. and then i start doing research on my car and find out nissan has had problems with the cvt transmissions and i want to know why their isn't some type of recall on these unsafe vehicles. its a danger to my family and the other drivers on the road because you never know when it is going to happen!!!

My 2013 nissan sentra had no known problems, and i had no icons on my dashboard that something needed attention... no check engine light, no check transmission light..none. and when i had taken my car to get an oil change, my car had no serious issues. and just recently as i had my foot on the break because i was parking my car's engine turned off,, but the radio was still on. i attempted several times to turn on until it did, but as soon as i shifted to reverse or drive, the engine would just turn off. and now my car turns on but makes a weird noise like something is dragging, but engine remains on, and every time i shift to drive or reverse my car turns off. iv'e purchased my car new back in 2013, and it only has 73,000 miles. i don't drive long distances too often or get on the highway too much. i work about 20 minutes away from work with traffic. i have done my oil change at my nissan dealership and nothing ever came up on their multi inspection. i just don't know what is wrong with my car.

Every time you start to off it jerks and then trembles when trying to accelerate you get hesitant jerking and it feels like it's slipping

Car starting jerking and came to almost a complete stop out the blue at 136,000-138,000 somewhere in between don't exactly remember. the first sigh something was wrong with car was the rpm would just go up high out of blue while accelerating which was dangerous ad just comming to a stop out of nowhere. we called around trying to get issue fixed but noone could help cause there was no light on in car to see if anything was wrong. check engine light just came on as of today 10/11/2019 for first time ever at 141,000 and car stops doesnt pull. does on highway, interstate and while turning.

The check engine light keeps coming on due to the same air flow problem. every time car is scanned the code comes up as the mass air flow sensor. since purchasing the car, i have replaced this sensor twice. i replaced the sensor on 7/8/19 approximately 4 weeks after purchasing the vehicle and then again on 10/10/18. before replacing the part on oct. 10, i was merging onto the highway and my vehicle would not accelerate over 20 mph. my car also idles, jerks when placed in park & has decreased fuel efficiency.

For the past year or so the car has been jerking when it changed gear, but until recently the transmission gave out completely, the car is only a 2013 nissan sentra. i have maintained the cars regular maintenance . i am still paying on the vehicle and i cannot afford to pay the cost of the transmission replacement, i need to know what my options are with nissan in regards to warranty or recalls on the car for the transmission, or any assistance to to fix my car. being that it’s a fairly new vehicle it should not have a faulty transmission, it only has 71,000 on it. i am a college student and work and need my vehicle. please contact me at [xxx] or [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tt

Car wouldnt start but panel lights came on. jumped started car and it worked fine for a while then same issue days later, nissan replaced the battery and worked fine for a few months then same issue bought another battery and next time car wouldnt start it made the click sound like the alternator was bad but its tested fine.im tired of having to charge the battery just so i wont get stranded. nissan dealer claims car has to be driven at least 20 miles per day to keep battery charged. never had that issue with my 1989 sentra but it had other electrical issues

Cvt transmission failed with no check engine light or warnings. after 30 minute drive on freeway came to a stop at a turn off. went to cross oncoming traffic with plenty of space and transmission would not catch and moved extremely slow. cars came at speed and had to slam on brakes to avoid collision. transmission needed replacement and was not covered under warranty of any sort.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle moved very slowly. the vehicle would not exceed 50 mph on the highway and jerked. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be repaired. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was taken to giles nissan lafayette (6137 johnston st, lafayette, la 70503, (337) 210-9000), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that they would pay half for the transmission repair. the approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

Transmission went out at 67341 miles

20013 nissan sentra with less than 75k miles. making a left turn and heard a loud pop. left front ball joint broke off the lower control arm causing the control arm to smash through the tire rim and rip out the axle from the transmission. my vehicle was traveling at less than 5 mph (thank god!) i would not have reported this but i saw the same thing happened to another car. i jacked it up immediately and car was flatbedded to mechanic and control arms on both sides, ball joints and axle was replaced.

It seems that something is wrong with the transmission. when at a stop and starting to take off it stalls then jumps into gear and it trembles at take off.

While driving my 2013 nissan sentra fe + s on hwy and even inner city streets it seems to stall and loses power i need to know exactly what to do to make it safe to drive my vehicle if there is a way to take it back to a nissan dealership to have it checked

Don't know what to do, the transmission noisy, slipping on hard acceleration not up shifting when going on the highway very dangerous, engine revs up but car is at same speed, have to pull of the road and start up again slowly. this started at 75000 miles and i took it to nissan dealer in elgin il, they told me that it could cast me up to 4500 dollars, it passed the warranty 5years or 60000 miles, now i got 101000 miles on it driving it to work and back, what can i do, is there any recall yet, please help us

Driving highway speed the transmission cut out, rpms rev'd up and speed dropped even with full gas pedal pressure. pulled over safely, placed car in park and restarted driving. minutes later the same issue happened. sudden drop of speed on highway is not safe and nissan should step up and be responsible for repairs. so many issues with the 2013 cvt i don't understand why they don't step up to offer extended warrantee offers like in the earlier years. this is my daughter's car and she will not be driving this while this car is unsafe to operate. such a shame as she saved her money to buy this pre-owned vehicle and the thought of replacing the tranny this soon is very upsetting.

Rpm shifts up and down as speed goes up. alredy had issue when the mileage was over 65000 and had to fix the whole transmission because the car won't speed up over 10 mile. now the mileage is at 120k and its starting again. can't drive the car!

Transmission high rev before shift, about to go out, dosnt accelerate, jerks hard makes loud noise when it jerks while moving, turning, dosnt accelerate while turning

The transmission in this car slips, jerks, high rmps with out shifting. the eco and sport no longer do anything when you try to switch it. it is a real hazzard when trying to merge onto highway or in left hand turns, i literally have to wait till there is no traffic. highly upset there is only 82,000 miles on it.

Air bag control unit is not operating. ocs sensor is not operating

The car will not accelerate at a stop light, or when i am trying to make a turn, it will not properly accelerate, even if i hold down the accelerator all the way down, and then it will jerk and accelerate again. on highway, it will suddenly lose power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxr7e0qwoka this is what happens to my vehicle, if i press on the accelerator all the way, it does not accelerate and instead only goes up a bit of rpm and doesn't go up all the way.

Transmission doesn’t shift smoothly. jerks at high or low speeds. rpms rev up past 5 which requires me to release the accelerator for vehicle to shift. as of jan 3 2019. air bags were fixed during recall. in 2016. however lights came on immediately and never went off. dealer continues to want me to pay for repairs.

One day i got in my car with my mother and it told me that the passager air bag was off but she was sitting in it. i had just turned it on and the day before that it was fine. also the one on my dash said that there was a air bag problem. it wasn't hit or touched it was truly over night infront of my house then the lights for the air bag were on when i started my car.

"mass air flow sensor recall" and components there of or intake fuel/performance reductors...check engine code p0101. while running the vehicle looses power and struggles to go faster entering freeways or up hills also have to use more gas lately. check engine light lit up...replaced the part to no avail...light is off a day or two then returns... which means issue is not fixed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving low speeds, the vehicle stalled intermittently. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was towed to town center nissan (2310 barrett lakes blvd, kennesaw, ga 30144, (770) 423-9691) where it was diagnosed that the transmission and gear shift needed to be repaired. the vehicle had not been repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 56,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving 20-25 mph, the odometer displayed incorrect readings and the transmission slipped then the vehicle decelerated. the vehicle hesitated while in traffic and the gear shift would not go into the proper gears. also, the check engine indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that a transmission range performance was needed. the vehicle was repaired two months later. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 67,411.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v242000 (air bags). the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the vehicle was taken to acme nissan (2050 us-130, monmouth junction, nj, (732) 821-9300) where it was determined that the vehicle needed to be repaired before the recall repair could be completed; however, the contact declined. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 42,000.

Takata recall when i first step in the car to take a test drove, it seem like it was ok . it didn't have any problem but when i drove it home , on the highway, the car started to shake and it took about 60 second for the gear to switch. the car seen as thought it was overheating when i haven't even drove it long . i took it back to the dealer and he said “ i was covered with warranty “ and that “i wouldn't have to worry about paying anything.” he gave me a loan car and have been extended it for the last two months because my car still haven't been fix yet . i also found that my car was not covered under warranty by the warrant business because they said the car wasn't in good condition when i brought it. they denied the request of fixing the transmission. the dealer refuses to give me another temp tag and told me to leave him premises. i have been paying on a car that i have not had for two months and i believe that this is an unjust situation. i hope that the other customers aren’t getting treated like myself .

Vehicle stutters and jolts when needing to accelerate quickly. rpms shoot up to 7-8 on inclines at 60-70mph when cruise control is engaged. vehicle stutters at slow accelerations after stop signs and red lights. on 2 separate instances, while in motion, vehicle revs to 4+ rpms but is unable to accelerate past 40mph. vehicle has 77k miles and is current on all services. took to nissan dealer and they diagnosed a failed transmission with repair of $4800.

Shifting frequently locking up while driving causing distraction and inability to accelerate. unable to accelerate at traffic lights or in threatening situations. on one occasion i was unable to properly accelerate to pass a semi-truck while facing oncoming traffic causing me to slam on my brakes to avoid an accident. every time i drive the vehicle the transmission dangerously averts my attention from safe driving.

Im currently the second owner on what i thought was a good vehicle. i had no clue that so many people had the issues i was having. it started two weeks after i had putchased my vehicle. i would accelerate like normal and take my foot off of the gas pedal to coast to a stop at a red light l, the light changes and turned green. i would reapply my foot to the gas pedal and the cvt would thud so i took it to be repaired and was told "it was a normal function of a cvt" not knowing any better as it was my first cvt transmission i kept driving. now im told my a cvt specialist that that thud i was feeling is the begining of my transmission braking and it needs to be replaced. i cannot see how nissan expects someone to pay for a product that so many of its vehicles have major problems with. there are thousands of people online complaning of the same issues. it needs to be investigated.

My car stalls when accelerating from a slow down or stop.it start the end of 2016 but it was once every few weeks. i took it to the nissan dealership in oxford ms in 2017 and had it tested and was told nothing was wrong with it. it is much worse now. it use to be a couple times a month at first now it happens on at least half of the accelerations from being stopped or slowed especially if you try to accelerate quickly. i have read about other cars having this problem. the have issued a bulletin for it to be tested and repaired at my cost. this should be nissan's expense plus any damage it has cost with me driving it this way for 50,00 miles after they said it was anything to be fixed. this is going to get someone killed. this started at 52,000 miles now it has 99,000 miles it was tested at 56,000 miles.

Brakes go out easy/bottom of car is a total mess and non stop problems.

Vehicle was in motion, check engine light turned on and the fuel gauge on dashboard started to acting out; i thought my car was leaking gas, but i could not smell it. i thought the problem was electric. i called nissan of huntington to report the problem and making an appointment, but it was too late (3:45pm), so i had to bring my car to centerport automotive. they scanned my car's computer system and: "code po 463 fuel pump sending unit malfunction code". as a result, they replaced the fuel pump and sending unit assembly in fuel tank. my car was 35472 miles at the time this work was done. had to pay 681.37 dollars + nys sale taxes. i would love to be reimbursed since a fuel pump lasts more than 125,000 miles. thousands of 2013 nissan sentra cars have a fuel system recall, but not this particular vin number.

The airbag light remains on in the dash board and the passenger airbag light remains on even a passenger is seated in the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that she filled up the fuel tank, but it became low again halfway into her trip. the fuel gauge needle went down to empty. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and attempted to service the vehicle, but could not finish correctly. the failure mileage was 42,000.

When driving my vehicle it starts over revving when changing speeds on local roads. i also had a few instances where the vehicle would randomly not go over 40 mph on the highway (possibly the vehicle is going into some kind of fail safe mode) and would rev heavily. i reached out to nissan and they advised it sounds like a cvt transmission problem, which is a known issue with a lot of the nissan vehicles. however, they have not created a recall for the 2013 nissan sentra and advised they do not plan to do so. *dt *js*jb

Cvt transmission went out on vehicle while on the road. i only had 76,000 miles on the vehicle at the time.

I was driving with my daughter in the passenger side of the vehicle, when i turned a corner the seat belt unbolted from the floor. *dt*jb

Ive been having issues with my 2013 sentra sr sputtering randomly and out of nowhere shakes and completly shuts off no matter the speed im doing. which has me concerned as this is becoming a big safety issue now thru out the years its gotten proggresivly worse without any dealership being able to fix this issue cause the car shows no warning lights or a check engine light. this happens when i'm stopped and moving happens randomly and sometimes the car wont accelerate past 3 rpm's.

I have had to have my transmission replaced 1 time already for it cracking without being in an accident. it would accelerate randomly and wouldn't accelerate when i pushed on the gas. i'm now having the same problem and almost got into a car accident on an expressway because it wouldn't accelerate and when i got off the main road it accelerated without me even touching the gas peddle.

Starting around 75,000 miles, my nissan sentra started stuttering, stalling, and losing power because of the transmission. my 2013 nissan sentra's transmission failed on 4/11/2019 at 83,975 miles (1 year and 23k miles over the warranty). over the past year, this transmission has been a public and personal safety hazard. i was not comfortable driving this with my children in the car, or on highways in fear of what happened on 4/11 would happen on a major highway. the fact that something so important and expensive would fail on a car so fast proves that this part of the vehicle needs to be investigated and recalled.

We bought our 2013 nissan sentra in 2015 from a nissan dealership. the price tag was somewhere around 20-22 grand. i was expecting that we would be keeping this car for 10+ years. unfortunately, nissan failed to tell us about the cars failing transmission when they sold us the car. while driving on a daily basis, the car would oddly pull. but when test driving the car we were assured that this was normal and caused by the cvt transmission. 3 1/2 years later while i was running a normal errand in town, the car failed to accelerate. i tried pulling out into traffic on a heavily trafficked road and had to swerve to the side of the road because i was pressing on the gas and it was not accelerating. i managed to get the car to move again, but i slowly drove on backroads to get the car to the nissan in our town. once there, they did a diagnostic test to see what is wrong and guess what? the transmission has failed. now tell me, why does a 5 1/2 year old car already have transmission failure?? we have only owned the vehicle for 3 1/2 years!! and our warranty ran out at 100,000 miles. we are at 113,000. i believe this car had transmission issues from the first day that we bought the vehicle.i think these cars are not reliable and should be recalled! this car looks perfect and is now worthless.

At 70,000 miles the transmission completely quit working. my daughter was backing out of a driveway and became stuck in the road. car would not go forward or reverse. pressing the accelerator peddle had no effect. exactly the same problem described in countless posts online. cvt transmission replacement cost quoted at 4000 dollars. almost the value of the car.

Vehicle is in motion and transmission suddenly stops pulling. i was on a us state highway with many vehicles behind me. within 18 miles the transmission stopped operating 3 times resulting in me working to get my car out of the way of other traffic. vehicle has low mileage.

When i press the pedal gas the car doesnt work well .i cant drive higher than 40 miles because the transmition doesnt running well and sometime i have to pull over the car cause it doesnt even run 20 mile .eache stops signal i do is even worst.all this notes are in the city streets i cant drive on a highway because it doesnt run over 40 miles

Cvt transmission needs replaced at 90k miles. google search reveals exorbitant number of nissans with cvt trannys have failed multiple times. nissan continues to use cvt's. why???? car revs high when started - the length of time steadily increases. rpm's show rapid and significant fluctuation. fearful to drive it more than the few miles it must be driven back and forth to work and to run errands.

I only had this vehicle for a year now i have 43 thousand miles and my transmission has gone out. i’ve been doing research and a lot of people are complaining of the same issue . i shouldn’t be responsible for this

Supplemental air bag warning light wont go off. was in motion on i 95

My daughter owns a 2013 nissan sentra ctv. her vehicle started driving slow, jerking in the steering wheel while all driving. it would accelerates but move very slow. the mpr would rev up but obo wouldnt move. nissan dealerships inspected it and stated it would be 4500 to fix. unfortunately, we had it fix. her car only had 69000 miles at the time we had ot fix. this was a great deal of a financial hardship.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle made an abnormal noise, the rpms increased, and the vehicle jerked and decelerated without warning. the contact called ipac nissan at 210-681-6300 (located at 6990 nw loop 410, san antonio, tx 78238) and was informed that there was no recall. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was not provided.

On 07/09/2019, while driving at highway speeds of 60 mph - 65 mph, traveling up a slight overpass, the cvt transmission on my 2013 nissan sentra sl shifted, to what seems to me, to be, the 1st gear. the rpm immediately shot up to 7,000 rpm. i immediately released the accelerator, but it continued to rev around 5,000-7,000 rpm. i was lucky the vehicle behind me swerved to avoid hitting me. the torque alone brought my vehicle to 40mph, i came to a stop, placed it in park, and turned of my vehicle on the side of the freeway. this occurred at the junction on interstate - 45 south, on 2nd right lane for exits to 610 - east and west. this incident occurred within .5 - 1 miles of these coordinates on i-45 south: 29.820626, -95.378574. this issue occurred again on the same day traveling north on the airline hov lane. i've attached a screen shot of a video i was able to take during the second incident of the that day. vehicle in motion at high speeds 60-65 mph in houston tx on interstate-45 south. the vehicle was traveling up a slight over pass. however, this same issue has occurred on a flat road traveling at lower speeds in situations of stopping then accelerating to higher speeds (35 mph or 45 mph). it's sluggish to shift gears with a jerk motion when it finally does shift. the unsafe condition was introduced when the transmission caused my car not to accelerate on the houston high, in a situation where cars are merging or switching lanes to take exits. i spoke to a local nissan dealer, and they invoiced me at $4,000-$5,000 dollars. i inquired a bit more, and they let me know that i'm "lucky," as they have had sentra's come in with only 30,000 miles. i also spoke with nissan customer affairs, explained the issues to see if there was any warranty i was unaware of, but none. sentra sl, 91,480 miles. (issues with transmission occurred even at 39k)

The transmission has approximately 88k miles and in the last 10k the transmission has been skipping gears, having progressive difficulty shifting up and downhill; there’s jarring and jerking when accelerating and de-accelerating. it most often happens on declines inclines stops during driving, and traveling at highway speeds. i’ve seen that many 2013 nissan owners experience similar issues

Transmission shifting on its own. accelerate and decelerate on its own. gear not fully grabbing.

When driving down the major highway road rpm will go all way to 6 then back down to 2 back and forth and the car will jerk without me pushing the gas and usually going at normal rate of speed , transmission is slipping and a jerking , sometimes when coming to an intersection the rpm hand would go up to 6 without warning , almost propelling me on thru the intersection very dangerous , i am afraid for my life while driving my car and i am very disappointed in this problem

Driving on the highway and the car wouldn't accelerate. the car was jerking while trying to accelerate. we were able to get it to a dealership, and we were told the transmission had failed. the labor and part cost us $3,800. please investigate these transmissions.

Total trans mission failure 2 times. once at 60k miles, covered under extended warranty. i went in before warranty was over and complained about my transmission. they ran a test and said it was fine and sent me home. told me that was the way it drives and it's fine. i dont even think they drove it or they would have known what i was talking about.

The car showed p2859 which involved cvt transmission code. i see that there has been an ongoing issues about the cvt which unsafe when driving thru the highway..

I was driving for 2 hours straight all of a sudden the vehicle started to slow down so i pulled over and shut the car off waited for like a minute and the car started to pick up speed with jerking then i continue for a while when i came to a stop sign and tried to proceed it wouldn’t go so i turned the car off again waited and it slowly picked up speed after me flooring the pedal then check engine light came on this has never happened but i did get a recall letter in the mail awhile back but it stated if the car is at 150,000 miles then something electrical would malfunction my vehicle is at 98,000 i was traveling on the road in motion while all this occurred i eventually had to get a tow home

Car would not accelerate past 50mph with foot all the way down. rpm was bouncing al over the place and car was being very jerky at lower speeds on freeway. as soon as i reached about 40mph the rpm needle did not move at all while getting to 50mph. this is the third time in a year that my transmission has had issues.

The rpm in my nissan sentra 2013 started to fluctuate while driving it wasn’t doing it too much at first but now it does it continuously and it’s so annoying when i’m driving i took it to my nearest nissan location and they said it was the transmission and that i have to get it replaced which sucks because it’ just reached 100k miles i have always had great maintenance with it i don’t want to pay almost 5k for a new transmission when the mileage isn’t even super high, i did my research and apparently there’s a lot of other people that have the same problem with the exact model and make and with newer nissans too with lower mileage so it’s just not fair i love my nissan sentra but this is just not fair i really believe there needs to be a recall for these cars with horrible transmission defects. please please nissan look into this

I just purchased this car last year the reason i bought this car because of good gas milage and transmission . i have buying nissan since 1993 and right now i have 2 altimas 1 sentra 1 quest every other car is doing good except sentra i have transmission problem its not changing the gears and ac is not blowing cold air. please help me out with these issues because i still have 4 more years of payments and knowing nissan cars they usually go to 200k without major problems.

Cvt transmission fail at 64000 mi. estimate repair 4400+tax

On january 17, 2019, our 2013 nissan sentra died in the middle of rush hour traffic and put my husband at risk for being hit. my husband was on baseline road in phoenix, close to i-10 freeway. car died near driveway entrance by restaurant. tow truck driver said it's cvt transmission. so did our repair person, interstate auto. the code at nissan also said it's a faulty cvt transmission, which they know about. there is extended warranty to 120,000 for some vehicles, but they conveniently said our vin is not covered. we are at 119,000, so that's convenient for nissan. we then were referred to nissan consumer affairs and they said there's nothing they can do. they also said they had no idea we were the owners of the vehicle. we bought it from tempe auto nation in may of 2014, but it's a 2013 preowned certified. they told us the warranty was increased to 100,000 because of that, but they never let us know. they also said there is a recall from 2016, but we never got anything. again, nissan said they did not know we were the owners until 1/21/19. that's a lie! we've had the car serviced. it was bought from tempe auto nation with 4400 miles on it. they have our info in computer system, but now can claim they did not know. we were the only ones that brought it in, no one else. so now the car is not drivable because of faulty cvt transmission that put my husband and i at safety risk every time he/we drove it. especially not notifying us about passenger recall since 2016. please let me know who we need to talk to next. worst customer service ever! caught in several lies! i'm attaching document that they claim they've never heard of or seen before - claim they don't know anything about faulty cvt transmissions. asked where i got my info & i showed them. also, you may google it - all over the place.

The car jerks and shakes when driving and completely stops on the freeway when driving several times, car stopped in the middle of the freeway, door on driver side also does not close properly. took the car to nissan dealer in montclair metro nissan in california, they stated its the transmission and is in service right now. big safety hazard.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle lunged forward. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced hard shifts between gears. the vehicle was taken to glendale nissan (located at 484 e n ave, glendale heights, il 60139, (630) 469-6100) to be diagnosed, but the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure or produce a fault code. the contact stated that the failure was intermittent. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 66,000. *tr *js

The red air bag warning light turns on displaying that the air bag is not engaged to deploy in the event of an accident. the air bag fuse is not worn. the seat belt buckle has already been replaced. all connections below the seats are connected. sensors have not been activated as there have been no accidents. the air bag warning light will either be on at the car's ignition, or it may turn on after two or more miles while driving.

This 2013 nissan sentra and its cvt have been garbage from the get-go. the transmission died while i was driving in the highway with my family in the car. just died on the road, we are so lucky there wasn't an accident. nissan was aware of the sentra transmission defect, and that the vehicles¡¯ transmissions would require frequent repair. despite this awareness, nissan continued to install the allegedly defective cvt. lots of complains were made about this issues.

Air bag light stays lit when vehicle is turned on. mechanic says there is a problem with ocs sensors and airbag diagnostic unit.

Transmission died after 25k miles, and now the "new" one died at 75k. it always had problems: delayed acceleration, grinding when coasting downhill, and slipping gears while accelerating. it then started stalling out when going through intersections in town from a full stop, and really started to die on christmas when we were on the highway (it became unsafe so we had to pull over and go home on back roads). the dealership now has it and claims nothing is wrong with it although it can barely drive. nissan corporate wants us to spend hundreds or thousands on a complete "teardown" diagnosis before they will consider if they'll cover any of it. the car is only five years old, it needs its 3rd transmission, and it isn't even worth the amount it will take to diagnose and repair.

My vehicle interior latch handles on each door are defective and has stop working. we have to let down the window to open the door from the outside to get out. this happened last year. i purchased my vehicle in 2017. first it. was the driver side door that became inoperable then the three passenger side doors did the same. they all stop working.

I gotten this vehicle from carmax at 53000 miles may of 2018. i took it back 2 days later with the transmission slipping they told me oh its fine. i even had a rental for a day. now its january 2019 and at 74000 miles the transmission is slipping and jolting sometimes not giving power in the middle of the road. my car comes up as not a lemon car but i went to a mechanic near me he told me he use to work for nissan and by even testing my car my transmission needs to be fixed and it will start again in the next 6 months after repair. my car is not safe to be driving nor will i pay for a vehicle that wont get my bills paid.

Cvt transmission slipping: my 2013 nissan sentra is experiencing issues with its cvt transmission. my first experience with my cvt could have harmed me and the other passengers in my car. my car refused to accelerate while making a turn at an intersection while another vehicle was heading in the same direction. luckily the driver noticed and slowed down preventing a collision. it took 30 seconds for my vehicle to pick up speed afterwards. i had the same problem once before while preparing to turn at a stop sign at another intersection.

The vehicle will be stuck in park when being put in reverse. when going down the interstate. it would go from 70mph to 0 mph all of sudden. almost caused an 18 wheeler to rear end the car because of the instant drop in speed. the rpm needle jumps up and down. the car began slowing down in second gear and then jump into gear and take off. if you can get the car into fifth gear it will slow down again then jerk into gear and take off. almost rear ended 3 people just trying to get home. there are recalls for cvt transmissions in that year make and model but when you type in the vin number in there are no recalls. do not know how deciding which models deserve a recall and which don't? i feel that almost be smashed in the rear should be considered serious enough for a recalll. i will not recommend anyone buying a 2013 nissan sentra. it occurred trying to put the car in reverse, drive, on the highway, in city street and parking lots trying to park.

We bought our daughter a new 2013 nissan sentra. it was serviced regularly at our nissan dealer. on october 18th, my daughter was driving home from a friend's house on local streets. she smelled fuel, the controls on the dashboard went haywire and all systems on the car started shutting down. she pulled the car over, put her emergency brakes on, turned the car off and got away from the car. she watched as her car went on fire. we notified nissan and they told us that because they found no manufacturing defects, there was nothing more they could do. how does a 5 year, well maintained, 48,000 mile car just set fire with no warning? how was this vehicle not part of the march 2013 recall? how can nissan not stand behind their products? most importantly, how can they not give us an answer to why my daughter's car set on fire? is this usual? is the life expectancy of a car only 5 years now? are these car manufacturer's not being held to any standards? do i have to be concerned with my other 2 children's nissan cars? my son's car is a 2013 nissan altima bought at the same time we bought the 2013 nissan sentra. our other car is a 2014 nissan sentra (also manufactured at the same plant as the other nissan sentra, a year later). we purchased it used two months ago from our local dealer and already had the transmission replaced. how come these manufacturer's are getting away with putting out faulty products and not being held accountable when there's a problem with the car? besides not having a car for 8 weeks, my daughter suffers from anxiety when she's in a car and has nightmares about being in a burning car. this is so totally unacceptable. i contact someone at the nhtsa when it first happened and they told me to get in touch with nissan. here we are 9 weeks later and not sure what to do next. can you please give me some advice? 407-383-8548. thankyou. *dt*jb

Vehicle has 68,000 miles. recently noticed the car slipping and trying to get in 4th gear. it also makes a whining noise when in drive and park.. when in neutral noise goes away. from what i read and talked with transmission specialist. cvt transmissions are not mechanically sound and fail prematurely. even when you service the transmission at 30k and 65k with new cvt fluid. presently my car is being inspected by aamco. i do not trust nissan dealerships.

While driving on a city street, brake pedal suddenly went all the way to the floor and continued to malfunction until vehicle was brought to a stop. independent mechanic and nissan dealership both determined the cause was the main cylinder. mileage on car was 39,000. there was no indication of any brake issues before malfunction (no check engine lights, no noises from brakes, etc.).

I'm a dealer, i bought this car at an auction. when i test it it goes into reverse and drive easily but when i drive it, it sticks to the first gear! bad transmission

Bought certified used with carfax in feb. 2018. car shuddering/jerking/grinding when accelerating, starting at around 70,000 miles. i asked nissan about this and they basically told me i will need a new transmission - at 79,000! happy i purchased an extended power-train warranty, so hopefully it is covered. should've bought another honda or toyota.

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

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

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

Car's transmission began failing without any warning lights. car would slow and not accelerate when needed. car needed transmission replaced.

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.

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.

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.

I almost died today on a busy fast street my car turned off while it was on and i was not able to press the brakes and my steering wheel was locked if it wasn't for my emergency brake working and they're being a part of the lane that was vacant at that second i would have been dead there were cars flying through that street. this is a complete hazard to my life and to my family's life and to the lives of other civilians driving. nissan will have a serious lawsuit on your hands if something happens to me and my family becomes aware that it was an electric issue. i'm going to take it into the dealership but if they claim that it is not fixable or they makeup some issue with my car that was truly isn't the problem and they're only doing that because they can't find the actual problem that caused that stall in those matter of seconds i will be seeking legal action against nissan. i babysit people so i am putting those kids lives at risk driving this vehicle that i so deeply depended on for every day method of travel. either nissan is going to to fix this vehicle or you should consider this call a lemon and do a recall and provide the customer with a vehicle that is actually safe and not going to potentially kill someone can you imagine if this occurred on the freeway

As i was going 60mph on a highway with high traffic my car started to slow down no matter how much i stepped on the peddle. i made it to the shoulder and attempted to make the car go by shifting the gears. after a couple minutes i was able to move. another time it happened i was crossing intersection speed limit is 35. it started to loose power and i barley made it past the intersection. my nissan dealer states it isn’t my transmission. i have ready multiple complaints like mine about nissan cvt transmission. it’s dangerous to be driving a car like that.

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. the ignition was turned off and restarted, but the vehicle still failed to move forward. the vehicle was towed to mastria nissan (1305 new state highway, raynham, ma 02767) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed replacement. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 120,000. the vin was not available.

Takata recall. transmission went out without showing codes.. nissan kept saying it was nothing wrong with car but the car was stalling and pulling at times in the middle of making a turn on city streets the car wouldnt go.. no check engine light never came on. so it took months of them refusing to fix and my warranty company to actually fix the problem. also, the master break cylinder went out without notice. i have had many mechanics look at car and say that my car has very little miles for this to happen so soon.. while driving on main roads and highways the brake pad will go all the way to floor. when at a red light and stop sign or any time i am at a stop the car keeps moving with brade pad on floor of car..

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving various speeds, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard without warning once depressed. the contact scheduled an appointment with kelly nissan of lynnfield (275 broadway, lynnfield, ma 01940, (866)-726-4450). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that, if there was a failure, financial assistance could possibly assist. the failure mileage was 33,200.

While driving my nissan sentra, for over 2 years it started to jerk while shifting in between gears and going from stopping to starting. recently while driving, i was getting onto an interstate from the ramp and my car would not accelerate. it took me a good .5 miles to get up to 40mph and a mile or more to get up to the speed of 60 mph! every time i would stop and have to start again it would take about the same amount of time to accelerate to the posted speed limit.

2013 nissan sentra w/ 58,700 miles. the car experienced a loud whining noise, which progressively got worse until it started to shudder and rev intermittently until power was lost. the complete loss of power occured while driving approx. 30 mph on a 2-lane road in traffic, causing an unsafe condition. the driver was forced to stop the car in the travel lane with emergency flashers on while other vehicles passed on the wrong side of the road. upon restarting the engine, the driver was able to get the car to a safe location but the problem remained, intermittent revving under load, shuddering, and eventually complete loss of power again. the car was towed to a dealership, and it is being examined by that dealer now. all symptoms point to failure of the cvt, a common problem with a range of nissan vehicles that has been ongoing for years. note, 3 weeks prior to this incident, the same dealer changed the transmission fluid and performed other regular maintenance service. from the consumer perspective, nissan and this dealer are knowingly allowing unsafe vehicles to leave their lot and not informing owners of these issues.

My 2013 nissan sentra suddenly lost all of its power in a busy highway. it is very easy to cause a crash and kill me. i got it towed to the local nissan dealership. i am told that the average cost for the replacement of the transmission can range from 3500 to 5000. it's almost a new car and the transmission failed out of nowhere on 78k miles!! just got out of the manufacturer's warranty from my understanding this cvt caused nissan to warranty the older models because of the same issue, but they did not offer the same on my 2013. however, from my research, it appears to be a current and ongoing issue with all nissans with a cvt. i am disappointed that nissan is aware of the common problem and is doing nothing to correct it.

So many issues not even sure what it is. car will fail to shift into gear and constant redline, very dangerous when getting on the highway. car will randomly get no gas to accelerate until i turn the car off and then on again. transmission slips at 80k miles. or perceived to be slipping, car will drop rpm and then rise quickly jerking the car around. going down hill the car will quickly rise rpm over and over and the car will uncontrollably jerk very noticeably.

Vehicle has just under 60,000 miles on it and has began to stutter or shake when taking off from a light. also the other day when going to accelerate, the car wouldn't move even though i had the petal to the floor.

Random and sudden loss of acceleration as various speeds on multiple occasions

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving 60 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle failed to accelerate. the contact stated that the speed fluctuated between 20 and 60 mph. the vehicle was taken to a dealer (passport nissan, 5000 auth way, camp springs, md 20746, 301-423-8400) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 114,000.

My nissan sentra 2013 has been recently giving me issues while i am driving. at 87k, this car de-accelerate suddenly while i am driving and causes the rpm to go up while the speed decreases. this is very dangerous as when the vehicle suddenly loses speed on the highway it could cause an accident. i contacted nissan north america and they stated that i would need to go to the dealership and get it diagnosed. the dealership stated that i needed to replace the cvt transmission and quoted me 4k for this. i contacted nissan north america and the case was escalated to someone named amanda in consumer affairs in tenessee. she quickly informed me that nissan would not assist in any way with repairing this vehicle because it was out of warranty. she also stated that her decision was final and that this matter could not be escalated any further.

My daughter;s 2013 nissan sentra started having issues with it sputtering and jerking. we had some maintenance on it even changing spark plugs and wires. issue wasnt as bad afterwards but then as the days passed it got worse. as she and a friend were trying to make it back home the car stopped moving in the middle of the street holding up traffic. a tow truck had to be called and it was taken to a repair shop where we were told that it would cost over $3000 to have it replaced. not happy about this at all!!!

Huge fuel leak (car can catch fire and kill the people) i have huge fuel leak when the engine is running and happen without any notice and i was lucky that car didn't catch fire while driving (note that the vehicle is running only 6000 km that is meaning bad quality car from nissan)

The transmission has an internal failure and it flutters. the car is 5 years old. i’ve already paid $1k because the air cond compressor went out and now they want $6k to replace the trans on a car that might be worth $7k. nissan na says they will not help cover any costs. even though they know this transmission has issues accords the board and they have extended warranties to the 2007-2010 models.

I purchased my 2013 nissan sentra new from the dealership in march 2013. my transmission was completely replaced within 1.5 years (28k miles) from purchase due to manufacturer defect. the problem is reoccurring about 3.5 years (77k miles). symptoms are similar to most reporting i've seen online. acceleration delays, car sputters, metal on metal sounds. my car came to a complete at an intersection with oncoming traffic coming from both directions. given my first transmission was found to manufacturer defect my 2nd transmission which is identically failing needs to be addressed same which it is not.

When driving my car on the highway or city streets, i lose speed and can't use pedal to accelerate to pick up any speed.car won't go pass 20 mph.

Takata recall passenger air bag does not turn on when passenger is in car while the car is and is not in motion. car turned off while pulling out of driveway. mechanic confirmed i have a wiring issue somewhere when they tried to put new fog lights in and issue was not resolved.

Vehicle brake pedal travels further than normal. have checked brake pads, brake shoes, adjust hand brake flush brake fluid and refill and bled all 4 brake lines. no improvement. i bought used.

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

While driving intermittant stalling, restarts right away, no check engine light comes on also may almost stall upon coming to a stop light, begins to idle rough, occurs very intermittant, when purchased pre-owned similar problem was rectified by replacement of some type of emissions harness has been back to dealer numerous times and they keep charging me for trying to repair and nothing seems to change still random stalling

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!

Stalling without warning slowing down or coming to a stop intermittant has occurred for almost three years. nissan dealer unable to correct problem after repeated attempts “no fault found, unable to duplicate complaint”. egi harrness replaced no change in 2016.

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

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..

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.

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.

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.

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.

Transmisssion is not shifting correctly it sticks and stop. our car has. 44,000 miles on it. it sometime will not go forward

Cvt transmission failure resulting in slow acceration with max speed ranging 0-25 mph. this is a known issue with nissan vehicles, and was covered by an extended warranty for certain vin numbers. my car was taken to local dealership to troubleshoot transmission. the dealership performed inspection on other components of vehicle, made unconfirmed accusations based on brake wear, and age/sex of driver. the consumer affairs department at nissan (mandy) initially indicated everything looked good, and that she only needed the cvt test results from nissan to confirm that the issues for my cvt transmission were in alignment with cvt repair that they provide assistance with. when coggin nissan shared the results with mandy, she declined coverage. beforehand, when i spoke to raymond (service advisor), i asked is there anything about the test results differed from test results of cvt transmissions covered by nissan, and his reply was “no”, when i explained this to mandy, and requested to view the documentation that coggin nissan shared with her, she declined stating information was only to be viewed by internally. i have a questionable history with this dealership over two unrelated incidents that should be documented in their system. one incident was me taking vehicle in for a 4 wheel alignment. they quoted a price, supposedly performed work. when picking up vehicle, they explained rear end was out of alignment, but that they don’t perform rear wheel alignments on 2013 sentras. i explained the rear tire tread wear was reason for alignment. i explained they needed to disclose that they don’t align their own vehicles prior to performing alignment so consumer can take vehicle to an alignment shop with ability to align. i disputed charges, and management waived. other scenario was having a rear bumper cover painted. phone price quote was $70 lower than in person.

Master cylinder. on saturday 1/27/18 i was driving my car home after making a stop and the brakes quit working. i had to slam on my brakes to get the car to stop. i finally got home after a stressful drive. i took my car to one service center the next day (1/28) and they topped out the fluids but found nothing else wrong. i got in the car to drive home and had the same issue. thus, on monday (1/29) i took the car to a downtown service center (non-nissan) and they diagnosed that the master cylinder needed to be replaced. i had that item replaced at a cost of $732. i then sent a letter to nissan requesting reimbursement for this problem because the car was only 5 years old and 67000 miles. nissan said since i did not bring it to a nissan dealership and have their diagnostics run they would not reimburse me. however, a week or two earlier i was at a nissan dealership for a shift lock problem and they ran diagnostics then. they told me they could not recreate the problem and did run diagnostics. they said everything was fine. after the master cylinder issue, i rechecked that report and it indicated the brake fluids were low. i also checked the internet and ran across several reports that talked about this same braking issue. nissan has refused to do anything about it since i did not bring it to them. however, since its out of warranty i do not always take my car to a dealership - i usually take it to a place closer to my work.

The car would not accelerate. the gradual breaking light was on. i noticed my back passenger tail light had moister in it. so i took it po ur and dumped about 5 oz. of water out of it. i bought a new taillight. it seemed to fix the problem now my transmission is slipping from 1st to second gear. the rpms jump from 2000 to 3000 as it shifts and steady out it's been getting worse as the days go by. i'm finding similar issues online but no solution other than transmission replacement. it has 83000 miles on it. because of the taillight issue and it not accelerating i feel like theres some kind of wiring issue to the transmission. it's not throwing any codes and the dealer says nothing's wrong with it.

The car began to violently shake, was unable to accelerate while on the highway. car rpms increased the car did not move. traffic rapidly approaching behind me.dealership has informed me of transmission issue needs to be replaced. no warning sign, no check engine light forced to pull over at night on the side of the road.

The cvt transmission slips at various rpms and speeds. traveling down a hill in the city with a steep grade the transmission will down shift and throw the rpms up to 5k where you can barely stop it. it slips to where basically it has no power to the wheels when driving on the interstate at 70mph at 3k rpms. it is like you threw it into neutral. there is no power to the wheels but engine speed shoots to 6k rpms and car speed decreases rapidly. this happens daily. several times a day. i have taken the car to the dealer and been told it is the way the cvt transmission operates. that is a bunch of mess no transmission is meant to slip out of gear. my personal mechanic says he replaces 3-5 a week of the cvt transmissions with as little as 40-50k miles on them. these things are a death trap. my car has 107k on it and i’ve been complaining to the nissan dealer since 20k. there should be a recall before there are serious injuries from the loss of power of surging. i have a 3 month old and this is my only car to get to work. dealer wants 4.5k and mechanic wants 3.8k. i’m still making payments on the thing for another year.

“takata recall” when i recently got this car, at first i knew something was off because it wouldn’t accelerate like a normal car and it wouldn’t go pass by 30mph on the freeway. i let a couple of days passed by until the last day before i told the dealer , i was an entire day turning my car on and off thinking that it will stop glitching but i was on the freeway and i was causing a lot of traffic due to it’s malfunction. after that, they took it to the dealer to get another transmission or system called the cvt transmisson, they actually did change the transmisson and after that it was working well but wasn’t satisfied with it, it started loosing power and there’s times when it doesn’t want to accelerate and i have to push my foot all the way in which is scary because there’s times where it just throws me off since i have no idea when it wants to accelerate like a normal car. overall, they changed the cvt transmisson and i felt that it got worst and now i just don’t feel comfortable with this car , i don’t feel safe with it but the sad part is that i’m still paying for the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving 35 mph, the vehicle decelerated without warning. the vehicle was taken to busam nissan (1501, 3907, e kemper rd, cincinnati, oh 45246) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in a recall. the failure mileage was 113,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the continuously variable transmission (cvt) failed to change gears. when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle was extremely slow to accelerate. crest nissan (6600 tx-121, frisco, tx 75034, 1-855-878-7690) diagnosed that the cvt needed to be replaced. the manufacturer indicated that, due to the title being salvaged, the contact would need to replace the part. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 98,200.

Cvt transmission problems car won't shift correctly went to nissan who advised me that it is the transmission and would cost $4011.10 to replace also went to holmes motor who is leasing me the vehicle for $17000 +$ 2000 buy out option at the end of lease and was told 18000 mile warranty would not apply because i have put 32000 miles on vehicle since start of lease..nissan also stated it's a 60000 mile warranty on vehicle but my vehicle has 77000 miles which i started leasing at 44259 miles. also this situation occured while i was driving past the 900 block of decatur street montgomery alabama 36104 when i made it to red light i realeased my foot off gas slightly because light changed car jumped in gear and slammed into back of another vehicle which didn't do any damage to other car but knocked my bumper loose.

Vehicle in notion on city streets. vehicle looses acceleration (gas peddle pressed, no rpms, no engine revving) would have to release gas and press peddle again a couple times before car would jerk into acceleration. also, break lights flicker when car is in park (like if someone was tapping the breaks, but nobody was in the car. car has roughly 66k miles

While traveling on i-95 in miami at 55 mph, my car suddenly stopped accelerating and wouldn’t pass 20 mph. i pushed down on the gas peddle and nothing would happen. i was extremely lucky to be on the middle lane and quickly shifted over to the far right on the emergency lane and turned off the car. i turned it back in and it worked fine. i didn’t use the car for two days, and then when i tried again, it was giving the same issue where the car wouldn’t accelerate and was making a weird noise which i never expierned before. i took to my trusted mechanic and he advised it was a cvt issue. i had to get the car towed to a certified nissan dealership as nissan agreed to consider possible financial assistance. upon completion it was confirmed it was a cvt transmission issue and it would cost about $5,000 to repair with labor costs. nissan has to given me back my car and it’s now the 20th of february. my car has 99,450 miles, and has been in excellent condition with my maintenance. it’s scary and unfortunate that we have been sold a defective car and nissan won’t admit to it. there’s a class action lawsuit open and still in court. i got an attorney involved who has taken up my case for further action against nissan. consumer should be advised to stop driving this car asap! i am now looking to get a new car as i don’t feel safe anymore driving this and i need a reliable and safe vehicle for work.

Car does not shift correctly, looses speed engine revs high.

2013 nissan sentra was running perfectly fine, and out of the blue, my engine basically failed in the middle of the street, completely. thankfully, no cars were near and i was able to drift to the side. thankfully it wasn't on a busy highway where a major accident could have occurred. i took it to the local nissan dealership where they tested it and it is indeed a cvt failure. it needs a brand new cvt transmission. this car has 44,000 miles on it, and is just over 5 years old. it is dangerous to myself and others to have this car on the road with these engines. there are so many cases of 2013 cvt failing, but yet no recall. nissan needs to step their game up like they have on previous years that included cvt and extend their warranty. there is no reason a perfect good car should have this problem already. this car goes from point a to point b, as it is basically a work car. please, please consider this, as well as all the others. this is completely unsafe and unrealistic, and nissan is doing nothing about it.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the vehicle would not shift out of park. when the transmission returned to normal, the brakes seized and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard when depressed. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was towed to hanlees davis nissan (5009 chiles rd, davis, ca 95618, (530) 231-3000) where it was diagnosed that new cylinders and brake boosters needed to be installed. the transmission was also repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 62,000.

“tamara recall” i was driving when all of the sudden my car started jerking and the speedometer was racing up and down, i went to pull out on the highway and was nearly hit by a semi truck because the car had lost power and wouldn’t go over 5 mph. the truck had to swerve to keep from hitting me. this car has a faulty cvt transmission problem is very dangerous and needs to be off the road. it happens with no warning. i called the dealership and they said it would cost $5000 to fix that i don’t have. and i still owe $10,000 on the car.

My car would start to jerk as i was driving, i went and got it looked at and the auto zone guy said it was the voltage regulator in the alternator so i had that fixed, then the motor mounts had to be replaced. after allthat it was still jerking and it is my alternator. i drove my nissan off the lot with 298 miles on it and the transmission is slipping. i called nissan and they said they would not cover it because im at 101k miles even though i have the security +plus contract and there is a stipulation with kentcuky. there should be absolutely no reason as to why a 6 year old car is having so many issues all of a sudden. it literraly started a month ago and is due to be paid off in july. when i pull off from stationary sitting it jerks, once i coast to a good speed around 50mph and up then it wont jerk but hesitates and my rpm gauge jumps up and down.

The transmission failed & i had lifetime warranty but nissan & the dealership doesn’t want to cover their issues.

The transmission failed at 60,962 the car started started shaking, jerking and loosing speed and then it cutting off at the stop light. the car cut off on me getting off the highway i was at a light & then i was unable to proceed with traffic. i turned on the hazard lights & turned the heat off waited for the car to maybe cool off i really didn't know what was wrong & then i was able to restart the car & drive home i took the car to the nissan dealer ship twice & they told me it was the airflow filter after they claimed it was fixed it happened again i contacted nissan again and they finally admitted that this car has a bad transmission. there is no way a car under 100k miles should have problems with the transmission i bought this car @ 26k in 2016. now is costing me over 3,000.00 to fix my car . nissan is well aware of the transmission issue on these cars and instead of recalling them they continue to allow these cars to be sold over & over again again. i want a complete investigation into the on going problems with the 2013 nissan sentra's. i have lost power on the highway as well as main roads stopped at lights holding up traffic in dangerous situations i had this car towed in total of 5 times in less than 6 months.

I went to stop at a traffic light and i was unable to deploy the brakes. the car started to roll forward, i then tried slamming on the brakes, but the car accelerated through the intersection and i ended up crashing the car.

I hit a metal barrier at 75 mph on the highway not one airbag deployed. i have had 2 surgeries significant brain damage and memory loss. nissan won't even acknowledge there was a problem. also transmission blew at less than 36000 miles mostly highway

Complete transmission failure with no warning sign at all. a failure so traumatizing, it feels like i've been in an accident, and i'm weary of getting behind another wheel. i was driving along the interstate at 70mph when all of a sudden, with literally no warning whatsoever, no dash lights, no noises, just boom! my car began to shake so violently i thought i'd just been rear ended. so i'm driving at 70mph in the middle lane of i-4, and my car violently died. thank god the man behind me was paying attention, and had thought i'd just been in an accident. if it wasn't for him, there would have been no way i could have gotten over to the break down lane. if it wasn't for him, i surely would have been in an accident and possibly died. how does a transmission fail in such a spectacular fashion with zero warning? does someone need to die before nissan finally steps up for their error and stops selling these death traps? is it any coincidence warranties are being doubled across the board for all 2003-2010 nissan cvt vehicles?

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the transmission failed multiple times. there were no warning indicators illuminated before or after the failure. the vehicle was taken to berman nissan of chicago (3456 n kedzie ave, chicago, il 60618) where the failure was unable to be duplicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 20,000. the vin was not provided.

I had to replace tbe tie rod and steering gear at 70,000 miles in nov 2017. i've just been told that the transmission needs to be replaced and i am only at 76,000 miles. t am in an active bankruptcy so i can't replace the car because the car dealership will approve me for a loan that has 18 percent interest. this is cost me a lot of stress. a lawsuit needs to be filed.

Car failed to move forward. loss of transmission while going up hill was very dangerous. ideals high and intermittent working.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced a lack of engine power and would not accelerate even with the accelerator pedal depressed. the failure occurred without warning. trophy nissan (5031 n galloway ave, mesquite, tx) diagnosed that the cvt was defective, but did not offer further assistance. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 80,000.

Cvt transmission problem when getting on ramps onto the highway, and normal acceleration, my vehicle is not accelerating. it is delayed in acceleration from stops or when needing to pick up speed such as on a ramp or when passing. it is not driving how it should under normal circumstances. it is very dangerous when the vehicle doesn't accelerate properly. this will become fatal if nothing is done by nissan who is aware that the cvt transmissions in this vehicle are failing and needing replacement far sooner than they should and that consumers are aware of.

The car started jerking and then making a loud hissing noise. the car was towed to aaa and they confirmed it needed a new transmission. i contacted nissan to see if they would help pay for the $3,000 repair after reading the numerous complaints from other owners. after 12 days they declined because it was no longer under warranty and they did not recall the transmission. all things they knew prior to having me get a diagnostic from a nissan dealership. i believe nissan is knowingly defrauding consumers and costing them additional money when they know they are not going to assist in paying the repair cost. also, there are so many complaints about this transmission, yet they refuse to recall the transmission. someone needs to step in and stop this.

Car is jerking shifting is not happening. while stepping on gas pedal car is not moving. then all of a sudden it jerks forward. very dangerous. car transmission is going. nissan says no recall. this company is horrible.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving various speeds, the transmission slipped out of gear on more than one occasion. cerritos nissan in cerritos, california was made aware of the failure and scheduled a diagnostic test. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with case number: 30086087. the failure mileage was approximately 59,000.

Rec'd recal re transmission included this model and year. took car to reparair place. they tok letter and said they would take of it. when i picked it up next day, i questioned it because it seemed too quick a fix. they said "it was just the computer> as i was late to work< i didn"t have time to inquire further> two weeks ago< tramsmission failed while driving in a residential area. had to roll back and park in someone's driveway. got it towed to service place. now, they're saying no such recall and it will cost mr 0ver $4,000.00 to fix.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving at a slow speed and attempting to make a left turn at an intersection, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact stated that the failure recurred twice. the vehicle was taken to university nissan (248 cox creek pkwy, florence, al 35630, (256) 740-5100) where it was diagnosed that the cvt transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 29964786. the approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

Transmission failure after 69k miles. the coned shaped pulley does not seem to be traversing properly to change drive ratios. seems to skip and shutter sometimes causing issues in parking lots that sould be dangerous. for example you may push the petal and very little happens push a little more and it snaps in and goes crazy.

There is a known problem by nissan with the transmission shifting hard and incorrectly and not engaging in gear, resulting in the car driving at high rpms, and belt slipping constantly. i had my tcm reprogramed out of pocket because nissan wouldn't do it, said my vin didn't fall in the range of recalls on that problem. the tcm was reprogrammed and now my car is worse. i am a single mom or 2, working 2 jobs 7 days a week. i still owe $11k on my car and i cannot even drive it, nor do i have $4500 for a new transmission. if you look online there is forum after forum of this known problem and nissan is unwilling to assist customers and they say they have the best customer service. i love my car and i am willing to accept a rebuilt transmission but they are unwilling to help me at all. what do we have to do to make this a recall? it is a known problem on many 2013 - 2014 nissan sentra's that around 75k - 100k miles the cvt transmission starts to have issues, and that is exactly what has happened to mine. any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Transmission slipping when taking off or shifting 85,000 miles

The sunday after thanksgiving driving on i 75 at 80 mph in 3rd lane passing cars major traffic behind me going with flow of traffic the car had no power foot to the floor with the gas i'm still decreasing speed cars honking finally able to get over had the transmission replaced at 55000 and now at 106000 it needs replaced again please you know nissan has a problem do a recall. when all this happened no warning lights no check engine nothing is it going to take a fatality for u to do something. if it wouldn't have been for the vigilance of the drivers behind me it could have resulted in a major accident and i had my 5 yr old grandchild in the car with me

The cvt transmission is the problem. the car keeps shaking everytime i drive it, when i start the car the car turns off if not driven in a couple hours. when i go in reverse the car turns off also. the tranmission was overheating. the cvt has problems.

Experiencing sudden rpm spikes during cvt shifts, lack of power, jerky shifts at high rev. left my 17 year old daughter stranded in rural area after dark. she was traveling about two hours home at posted speeds. sudden rpm spike with no acceleration. i was able to get to her, shut vehicle off and restart and got it moving. transmission "slipping", jerking and shuddering. contacted nissan usa and dealership, they want me to bring it in to check.

Stalling when i am driving along the highway. i have to tap the gas twice for it to start back.

Transmission is acting like it wants to not shift on time. it hesitated and will even revup without me accelerating on the highway

Bought 2013 nissan sentra used at 25,000 miles. no issues or problems with transmission until around 89,000 when car began to jerk while trying to change gears and then progressed to shuddering, jerking, etc. took it to mechanic, verified that transmission was in horrible shape and going out. went to nissan dealership where purchased. they advised that warranty was out and that nissan was doing nothing to assist with this. said they would be glad to replace transmission for $4,000. nissan needs to extend this recall. these vehicles are dangerous and nissan is aware of this and chooses to ignore this issue.

Transmission is not working properly, slipping, getting stuck in low gear with out shifting, almost caused several accidents driving as car will not keep up speed, will not pull out in intersections etc...

Car is not shifting into gears right rpm is everywhere an hiting shifts really hard

Vin:[xxx] please know this vehicle was stolen on 11/12/2018 in rio piedras, pr. is a blue nissan sentra sr 2013 w/charcoal black interior. please call authority 787-765-0841, r # [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

As i was driving on the freeway in heavy traffic, i pressed on the brakes to stop and i had to press the pedal all the way to the floor to activate the breaks. this caused me to almost hit the car in front of me. this happened several more times on my way home. i took the car to the dealer and they eventually diagnosed the car with a cracked master cylinder. the car is roughly 5 years old and this is the second major problem that it has had within the month - 1st the transmission and then 2nd the breaks. these are 2 of the 3 most frequently reported problems with this make/model. the car is under 60k miles. according to most sources, the master cylinder is supposed to last the life of the car. nissan reports that no recall/customer education has been done for either of those things for that make/model. it seems irresponsible of them.

Complete transmission failure at 85,821 miles. stranded at major intersection. transmission replaced at a cost of $4000. nissan should extend the warranty on their cvt transmissions in all vehicles.

Nissan 2013 sentra has a computer malfunction. have to stick something into the gear shift in order to drive. car stutters when pressing the gas as if it’s switchibg gears. also, there was a recall for the middle seatbelt i got fixed. seat belt was used once properly and has been locked ever since. nissan will not fix these malfunctions unless i have a letter about these issues. these issues are known recalls from previous nissan sentra owners as well.

Transmission failed at 85,000. i started having problems gaining speed; then the car would start shaking, jerking and pausing. i was driving on highway 152 on my way to san jose, ca when my car started losing speed and shaking. i thought i was going to get stuck in the middle of the road. it was terrifying. i made it to work and started doing research about what my car was doing and find out it was the transmission. i took it to the dealer and they confirmed it was the transmission. nissan tech. told me to call nissan usa, so i did. they gave a case number and they communicated with the dealer to confirm the transmission had failed. nissan agreed to pay part of the cost to repair transmission even though i told them that it was too soon for the transmission to fail. nissan is charging me 2000 to fix it. i honestly think nissan should start repairing all transmissions without a cost for customers. they know their transmissions have defects. i will try to sell my car as soon as possible as they are only going to give me one year warranty.

I was stopped at a red light waiting and suddenly my car turned off.. it turned right on. this happened three times in the last 4 months.

Transmission shakes and judders. car bucks when slowing below 15 mph, clunks when switching gears, rpms are high and car seems stuck and cannot switch gears. it happens on regular streets and the highway and when accelerating from a stop. the worse is going down an exit ramp. very unsafe especially on the interstate to have the car suddenly buck and lurch.

Bought this car, my first car on 04/20/2018. i have a short commute to work and the car seemed to fit my price range and didn't see many dire complaints on this specific model of car while researching before purchasing. until i searched rpm spikes and transmission slips on google after my 60 day limited warranty ran out. haven't even driven this car 800 miles and the car jerks violently on the roads, and at only 55,000 miles. it jerked from day one, but thought it was normal until it got worse. i'm just now regretting buying this vehicle, but there was nothing i could do i was in a pinch for a car i got bills to pay and a job i have to make it to. it seems like a lot of people have this issue and all agree the cvt should be a recall. i have to be honest i agree. i don't understand how you could sell someone this vehicle without letting them know the reputation this car has. i don't know how you could sell someone a used car to someone and know that persons car may stall, or jerk and cause a life threatening car crash. when it comes down to it, its not the money its the safety, the vehicle doesn't operate in a safe manner, it jerks, stalls, shakes when breaking all while not flashing any indicator lights saying there is something wrong when there clearly is something wrong.

Update since april - purchased car 10-22-15 inspection and said it was good. in 1-14-2016 car growling/city street. again inspection and said it was good 6-14-16 car in ,car growling in motion on street. again tested - good stranded (purchased a jump start) 8-16 2016 stranded in driveway 10-17-17 - twice car went into sport mode,on highway (50/60mph) no one touched anything-hands on wheel! they had car for 12 days and said nothings wrong with the trans. still happens..and worse. trans blows up while driving car. it was awful, had we been going 50/60 we would have been dead.no warning lights- stopped dead and abruptly on city street. had it towed in they finally admitted it was the trans from the start oct 2015! had to have a re-furbished trans as there was nothing left of this one,(car towed in-would not go into any gear). 1-16-18 car in for loud rattle. they said it was from the transmission being replaced. straightened the heat plate under the trans. still rattles 3-15-18 while driving with the new trans. car went into sport mode on city street, just like before the original trans exploded. 4-29-18 stranded in driveway after driving it 28 miles- the battery was discharging while driving- we've been stranded about 14x's. took car in -got a loaner. they said it must be an electrical problem and did a parasitic test. nothing wrong 6-26-18 went into sport mode driving for about 40 seconds -pulled over- shut off motor. 7-26-18 shifted into high gear again on its own while driving. our hands on the wheel, when driving. the car is acting like it did before the trans was replaced. their nissan corporate man said, it must be electrical why we are getting stranded and there is definitely something wrong with the new transmission they put in as it's doing the same thing as originally, before the car exploded and could have killed us.

Cvt failure- transmission slips, jerks, and violently shudders like i am slamming my breaks. car is scary to drive and someone will get hurt. nissan unable to address the issue due to no trouble codes stored. well they cleared the code that was stored when i first brought it in: cvt clutch issue. high rpms and struggles to switch gears. went down a ramp on the interstate and almost lost control the car shuddered so bad. also jerks and sputters when pulling off from a red light or stop sign.

The vehicle was in motion at 65 mph on the expressway in heavy traffic. it steadily began to decelerate, giving no warning, with no lights on the dash or noises. as i attempted to accelerate, the vehicle would not respond to accelerator pedal input, and i had traffic moving at a very high speed and was almost hit by another car attempting to get onto the very slim shoulder at low speed. the car had 74,000 miles on it at the time of the incident, and had excellent care taken of it, including its recommended maintenance. it was purchased brand new in december 2012, and i am the only owner. it was towed to the dealership, where i was told i was out of the 60,000 mile warranty. initially quoted $4500 just to get the car back in working order, it took nissan consumer affairs two weeks to arrive at a figure just short of $1100 to get my car running again. a transmission should not fail in a vehicle at all, let alone one that new, especially considering the level of care that it was given. this is a potentially very serious safety issue, as i almost had nowhere safe to pull over. if this had been the multi-lane highway i was on minutes before, i may have not been over to reach the shoulder and could have been hit or involved in a serious accident. upon doing some research i found this issue has been encountered by a large number of nissan owners with continuous variable transmissions and the company has done little or nothing about it, and have attempted to minimize the problem. by extending "financial assistance" down to $1100, in my view, they are admitting guilt as to this problem, as companies do not give money away. i feel cheated, and now do not feel safe driving the vehicle i had paid $21,000 not very long ago.

68000 miles and transmission is slipping and shudder when accelerating from stop. also abruptly downshifts and jerks while going at cruising speeds. it is hard to control the vehicle when it shudders.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle started to lose power and acceleration. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the power train failed and the transmission cap was missing. the vehicle was towed to the dealer (quirk nissan, 600 southern artery, quincy, ma 02169) where it was awaiting diagnostic testing and repairs. the contact also stated that the transmission was replaced by the same dealer on march 7, 2014. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened case number: 32406354. the approximate failure mileage was 96,000.

Cvt transmission failed at 80,000 miles. $3,700 estimate to replace. car won't accelerate and could cause accident if driven on highway.

I am requesting an investigation into nissan cvt transmissions after suffering transmission failure at 70 miles an hour while on cruise control on an interstate in traffic. rpms jumped up but was losing power and engine sounded horrible like metal on metal . able to get off before passing exit and limped into nearby gas station. towed to nearest nissan dealer after breakdown and told a few days later that something broke internally in transmission and will now have to be replaced after 115000 miles for $4000. car bought new in 2013. research online shows an extreme amount of the same complaints about nissan's cvt transmissions for years and nissan is not addressing the issue. nissan offered owners of previous models up to year 2010 to double power train warranty from 60,000 to 120,000 to address previous complaints but current owners are not offered this currently even though obvious problems remain with their transmissions. there has to be a fault with their transmissions. could you please investigate as numerous people are in danger if failure occurs in traffic and are suffering financially from paying for repairs from this problem.

My 2013 sentra it began to jerk and lose power while driving. the car revs up to 5000rpms went back down to between 3000 and 4000rpms. i drove to the nearest auto shop aamco. the mechanic said to see if it was under warranty. he said there were known problems with the cvt. we drove home and i called nissan (8883880318) and spoke to a representative. he asked for the vin and told me there was a "campaign" on this car. i asked him was a campaign and a recall the same thing, he said they were the same, different words.. he told me the cvt needed to be reprogrammed. he gave me a dealership. i called, made an appointment for 9:00am this morning. we took the car in, was told the car had been reprogrammed. we drove away from the dealership, got about one block and the car began to jerk and lose power like before. we turned around and went back to the dealership. i told the representative the car was still jerking and losing power. she said i would have to pay $99.00 for a diagnostic test. i did not pay for the test because the nissan representative on the phone told me the repair would be at no charge. when we got home, i called nissan, again. i was told i could not talk to the representative i talked to yesterday. this time, i was told there was no warranty left because i had 82,000 miles on the car. he told me the warranty stopped at 60,000 miles. i told him the representative i spoke to yesterday told me it was covered and i had looked online and nissan had added to the warranty to 10 years or 120,000 miles. he said that is not for my car and i could join a class action lawsuit. i told him i don't want to join a class action lawsuit, i need my car repaired. please hold nissan accountable to fix these unsafe cars, because, nissan knows there is a wide spread problem with the cvt's. this is unfair.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving various speeds on several occasions, the fuel gauge became inoperable. the contact stated that the gauge fluctuated between full and empty. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 91,000.

With only 69800 miles 2013 , transmission has failed to operate . wont accelarate in ocassions , and the car wont move forward this can cause a crash.

Brake master cylinder major failure in which i almost had an accident. pedal went right to the floor and brakes did not function!

Hello, i am a owner of a nissan sentra sr 2013 and it has 102,000 miles on it and the transmission (cvt) has failed and my wife was stranded on the side of a highway and temp. of 100+ for 2 hours because there where enough tow trucks in the area to come pick her and the vehicle up. this is very upsetting, we have owned other nissan's in the past and they had double the mileage on them and there transmission had very failed. there are so many complaints here and on the web with regards to this transmission (cvt) and even lawsuits. please ntsb review these's complaints and the vehicle because it's only a matter of time that someone could be hut because there transmission failed in the middle of the road and they could get to a safe area.

Our 2013 nissan sentra with 112k miles, the transmission has started to shutter when shifting on city streets, gets stuck in second gear when pulling onto highways on ramps, and slips when at highway speeds with and without cruise control. this vehicle saved my wife's life while being our only transportation. she has survived 5 cancers but now we don't have reliable transportation. i can't get the vehicle to the dealer to have the two recalls performed on the airbags and anti-lock brake system.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. alan webb nissan (3608 ne auto mall dr, vancouver, washington 98662, (360) 892-9004) diagnosed that the transmission was faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with case number: 319-401-85. the failure mileage was 65,600.

My car has a cvt transmission and nissan knows that these cars at around 70,000 miles, the transmission starts acting up. i noticed that my car felt a little different whenever i was driving it but just thought it was my impression. as my husband was driving it with my two kids in the car, the car shut off while at a stop sign. in the highway it jerks, speeds and slows down at various times unannounced which makes it very unsafe to drive. i contacted nissan about it and was told that i need a $4000 transmission that they would've replaced for free, but unfortunately i happen to be 1800 miles over what the book states. if i knew that my car had a transmission that is no good that puts me and my family in danger i would've brought my car in to the dealership a long time ago. but i didn't know as there is no recall at this point.

My car has a defective transmission and after further research, i found out that nissan north america was aware of the defect of the cvt transmissions and hit it from customers. i got a quote from my dealership for $4,300.17 for a new transmission. i had to come out of pocket to fix it becaise i need my car for work.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled and had to be pushed off the roadway. the vehicle was towed to the dealer (gettel nissan, 3530 bee ridge rd, sarasota, fl 34239) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump malfunctioned. the dealer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for the repairs. the manufacturer had not been contacted. the failure mileage was 30,000.

My 2013 nissan sentra began having problems with acceleration as well as shuddering hesitating, down shifting above 50mph.,whining sound followed by the check engine light. carried the vehicle to the dealer ship to be checked out. i was told the transmission was failing. i would need a new one. i have enclosed the invoices as well as my different steps to try to resolve this as a warranty issue.

While driving the car will suddenly stop accelerating, causing you to have to let off and press down again on the accelerator. this occurs during driving and after turns.

While driving this afternoon on the highway in charleston, sc. my vehicle without any prior warning began revving erratically gong high then low. during which time my the vehicle loss acceleration while still revving. im in the fast lane!! so, as i proceed to move over towards the shoulder im losing power, trying to accelerate so i can move and it just revs. as, i make it almost towards the right lane i lose all acceleration!! all of it!! at this point im scared as all get out. i dont have the power to move, yet all these cars are zooming by me. my flashers are on, but i am in the last lane of traffic. i put the car in park, then back and drive and it starts to accelerate when i hit the gas. just enough for me to pull it off of the road. this is a very serious issue!! i have 78,000 miles on it, it has been dealer serviced since i purchased the vehicle. no check engine lights, no warnings. hell, i litterally just had it at nissan of charleston last week 6/22/18 and had a diagnostic run on the vehicle. nothing. these guys are gong to kill someone, i've just read too many reports of the same things happening to other people with the same model year. please do something about this before someone gets killed out there.

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.

This car has excessive break pedal travel, then break failure to stop. pedal sinks to floor and renders the breaking system useless. fluid is full, and clean. break pads are in mid to high capacity.

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.

Automatic transmission- rpms don’t match mph, car shakes when idle, noticeable clunk when switching from park/revere/drive, noticeable strain on car when going faster than 60mph. transmission blown at 30,000, repaired, blown again at 72,000.

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.

Transmission is not working

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

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.

Engine cuts off without warning no check engine light restarts right away after pulling off road when it stalls, may also stall coming to a stop without warning, symptoms occur randomly.

I'm a owner of a 2013 nissan sentra i bought 1 year ago and it has now had 5 transmission put in it. i have 2 children at the time the car became self driving rpm just kept going up without me pushing the gas the car has major problems and nissan refuses to think it's a hazard my wife almost lost her job cause of this car it about got us killed i'm stuck under fiance company lucky with extended warranty but i don't feel safe something needs to be done shuttering jerking no power when trying to pull out on the highway this thing needs to not be sold to no one they need to be responsible and take it back and allow us to have a safer more reliable car. consumers affairs website says enough multiple issues from all across the world.

Check engine lite comes on car wont go over 40mph. needs cvt replaced.

While driving my car down the highway at 70mph the car jumps at 4k rpmthen starts jump badly so i left off gas and re applied the gas still 4k rpm and whinnin badly i finally make it home next day started the car and whinninh still come from transmission area car had 113k miles but has act up previously and had went away came back now it at a shop cause the transmission will not pull the worst car i have ever owned nissan needs to recall these cars or be responsible for it someone going to get hurt with this transmission and if my car cause a wreck with my 3 year old 2 year old law suit action will be not be taken lightly. 2000-2010 they gave extended warranty too 120k what about your new ones with only 60k warranty shameless i'll take a hit if it can't be fixed and my job is at risk cause of there junk no nissan for me ever again.

When we purchased the car (new) we complained immediately about the transmission. the dealer told us it was normal for that model transmission. they didn't document our complaint. we told our mechanic several times that we weren't happy with it as well. he researched with nissan and was told that there was no problems with the transmission. we have since researched on our own and found out otherwise. the night that the transmission "went" i had been traveling on the turnpike and had to be towed home. the car seemed like it wasn't getting the gas, it bucked, smelled and sounded horrible. i barely managed to get t to a safe place to pull off the turnpike. i had my granddaughter with me and needed to be able to stop in a safe place. we have not yet decide whether to try fixing it or to lease another car. researching the problem shows many people still not satisfied after repairing the transmission.

While driving the car, it sporadically does not shift gears sometimes causing loss of power and high rpm's jerking the car. this is very unsafe because you never know when it is going to happen. losing power can cause very unsafe conditions on the road when pulling out into traffic. it seems that when you accelerate rapidly like when going on a highway ramp or accelerating after slowing to make a turn, the car gets stuck in i would say 3rd gear and not shift higher. the rpm's skyrocket and max out, killing the power to the engine. then you have to come to a complete stop and slowly accelerate hoping that all the gears shift. the car only has 69k miles on it!!!!

Takada recall, my vehicle has been in the shop for an airbag recall but is not listed as an affected vehicle when i check the vin #, also, the center seat belt in the rear seat has never worked, the seat belt will not latch, this is a very serious issue and also a violation of the law due to seat belt laws.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced a complete loss of power while driving at 35 mph. the failure occurred without warning. the vehicle was towed to the local five star nissan dealer located at 839 warren dr, warner robins, ga 31088 where it was diagnosed that the cvt was defective and needed to be replaced. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 8,000. *tt *tr

This nissan sentra is not safe to drive. you can not get the car to accelerate entering the highway, have to use a screwdriver to get it to go into reverse, it makes rubbing noises and is a complete failure nissan should be proactive instead of reactive will take someone getting hurt before they do something?

Trasmicion

My fuel gauge is faulty. when i fill my tank up, within 50 miles of driving, the gauge reads that i have 0 gas and that i need to fill up again. this has left me guessing when i need to fill my tank up again based on mileage that i drove and days since i last filled up

The cvt began failing around 45,000 miles (about 4 years use). there was a jerking back and forth motion and the tachometer would rev up above 2,000 rpm and then fall back. plus, there was a horrible, grating-type noise emanating from the car. the dealer at which i bought the car had gone out of business so i took the sentra to a different nissan dealer where they replaced the cvt with a different, "remanufactured" unit. well, just 2-3 weeks later, that second cvt also began to fail! i thought the car was going to die on a busy highway but, fortunately, managed to make it to my exit. i got to the first traffic light and stopped. when the light turned green, the car would not move when i applied gas. i shut off the car and turned it back on and could then finally get it to slowly move. needless to say, i returned to the dealer where the rep said it was really "unheard of" for a transmission to fail twice. but when i called a few days later, he told me that the computer had shown some sort of failure. now, nearly 2 weeks later, i still don't have my car back. i suspect that transmission #3 also failed and, perhaps, the dealer doesn't know what to do at this time. i do not feel safe in this car and i don't think i will ever trust another cvt from any manufacturer. i want to stress that the dealer has been wonderful! this is my fourth nissan vehicle (2 maximas, then an altima, now the sentra) and they were very reliable. i got nearly 180,000 miles on the second maxima and nearly 150,000 miles on the altima. but neither of those 2 vehicles had cvts! thank goodness my powertrain warranty is still in effect!

Nissan cvt needs recalled. lack of power/slippage with transmission almost got me killed in traffic due deceleration and acceleration. very dangerous to drive now.

Purchase a demo nissan sentra 2013 on may 12, 2017. return 3 weeks later to complain about the sluggish during take off to nissan south of morrow, ga. the service person drove it and found nothing wrong. aug 4,2017 whining noise while park and the engine is running, the service manager drove he said he did not hear but normal sounds but was told i needed the 60,000 mile service pack, which i purchase at the price of $307 on aug 4,. oct.2017, now the transmission is whining loudly and now they tell me my warranty has expired it will cost me $4,000 to repair.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. after an unknown dealer repaired the vehicle per an unknown recall, the rear passenger side seat belt failed to lock in the buckle to secure the rear passenger. the dealer was notified, but the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 26,540.

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

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.

Problems with transmission

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.

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.

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 received a postcard from nissan about the recall. i've called the dealership to make an appointment to be fixed but dealership informed me they have not received parts from nissan and will not receive until august. i am extremely upset due to a road trip i have to do soon with my son. i believe this is unacceptable and placing my passenger at risk due to the neglect on nissan's part. i hope this is fixed as soon as possible. i feel nissan should extend a rental to those who are traveling free of charge until they rectify this issue.

Brake pedal fades to the floor intermittently while driving or in park. mechanic diagnosed bad master cylinder. 65,000 miles on this vehicle. 2/13 production date.

Weston nissan volvo / to whom it may concern in december 2013, i bought a 2013 nissan sentra, from your dealer services weston nissan. so far, i received forever the services from your specialized department, maintenance required by your people in the same place where it was purchased. a few days ago, the vehicle presented a fault according to reports by the mechanic of weston nissan; corresponds to a failure of transmission. that person notified me that the transmission (powertrain) is damaged and have to be replaced at a cost of $ 4000. this transmission was damages because proper maintenance was not performed, as reported by the mechanic. now, as can this be possible? , if the car constantly carry to service according to the warranty and maintenance requirements upon miles. and in the service record, you can see that there is no service for this part. nissan should stand behind their transmission product, reputation and do what is right for all consumers who experience a traumatic and costly situation due to the poor quality and failed transmission. nissan decline to take any responsibility. also, i’m very disappointed because in that short time the car suffered air conditioning problems, replacement gas pump, air bag problems (many times) and more recently serious transmission problem. in my car’s service record, there is no evidence of changing air filters and other important car’s parts, which gives serious doubts about your service’s quality. personally, replace the air filter was never changed. i think there is no reason, if there is been a properly service, to have all this issues with my car. best regards, nhtsa recall 14v-138

I took my 2013 nissan sentra in for an inspection only to discover it failed inspection for the driver's side outer tie rod. i have never had a 3 year old vehicle have a tie rod wear out so quickly

My first indecent occurred while driving down a state highway with my cruise control on, my cruise control was cut off. as i was trying to accelerate back to my driving speed, the gas pedal felt loose and my car was having trouble revving up to accelerate and would not let me accelerate back up to posted highway speeds. the car then "jumped" forward and went back to normal and allowed me accelerate. however, i was not able to engage my cruise control back to normal and would cut it off every time i set it. i took my car to the dealership the next day for an initial recall notice to be fixed and explained also what happened. when i described my issue the service man had said it sounded as if my transmission was slipping, that they would look at it. after recall was cared for and two test drives later, they found nothing wrong with the vehicle. told me if problem comes back to bring in immediately. on 07/06/2016 on my drive home at night, i came to a light and yielded,upon trying to accelerate to turn my car failed to accelerate and was having issues once again revving up! i drifted in to a nearby parking lot, put my car in park, turned it off for a few minutes then turned it back on. it acted fine until i was further down on a state highway and it was giving issues accelerating again. i contacted the dealership the next day (07/07) and was told to bring it in. they called me after sometime, and made me aware of what was wrong with my vehicle(condensation in the tail lights!) and how it was affecting my vehicle. i was also told that it was a manufacturer issue and that the manufacturer and nissan are aware of the issue but have yet to issue a recall!! this is a serious issue that can lead to a fatal accident!!

I received a recall notification regarding the front passenger seat occupant classification system(ocs) software defect requiring reprogramming to detect a passenger in order to deploy the airbag in the event of an accident, and the child restraint system(crs), in particular the seat belt bracket deformity also in the front passenger seat requiring reinforcement. on 6/24/16 i took it to a local nissan dealer which informed me that they could not complete the recall because they did not have the required part, therefore it would have to be ordered. as a result my appointment has been set for 1 month later. i checked with another nissan dealer closer to where i work and they also confirmed that there was no eta on when the part would be available but would place me on a waiting list and contact me when it became available.

While traveling on the interstate during morning rush hour, my 2013 nissan sentra started shaking and vibrating. the engine began making sounds, and since i was in stop-and-go traffic, i noticed that when i stepped on the brakes or tried to accelerate, the vehicle wouldn't respond. the rpm meter was jumping all over the place. when i tried to accelerate, my car wouldn't move, and then would jerk forward suddenly. this all made driving on the highway very scary, especially since the problems came about suddenly. i would have to keep an overcautious distance from other vehicles because i wasn't sure when my car would decide to stop or speed up. all of this was happening and the check engine light never came on. the transmission has had a recall before, and i have seen hundreds of consumer reports of others with the same complaint. my vehicle is only 3 years old, i am the first owner, and it has less than 70,000 miles on it. i have kept up with all service requirements. i think nissan needs to take responsibility for putting cars with unsafe transmissions on the road.

I was driving on the interstate on may 6, 2016 at the speed limit (70 mph) when i heard a loud explosion that would compare to a shotgun blast. there were no other vehicles on the road ahead of me less than 1/8 mile. i pulled over to the side of the expressway to inspect my car. the glass in the sunroof appeared to have exploded. there was no other apparent damage. i took my car to the dealership and after inspection, they said they could not determine what caused the damage and that my warranty had expired, therefore, there was nothing they could do. this caused no accident or injuries. my inside sunroof cover was in the closed position.

While in motion, an odd "creaking" noise was emitting from the rear passenger wheel. this noise, while similar, was not the same as ntb-13-031a, as the fix for that tsb had been done already. the noise was reported, and the technician found that the hardware for the rear brake had been completely destroyed. it was stated that the pad was not housed and was essentially sideways. because of this, there was effectively 0% braking occurring on the rear passenger wheel. the dealer replaced the the entire rear braking mechanism on the passenger side. this issue occurred at approximately 36,000 miles.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving at an unknown speed and attempting to engage the brakes, the brake pedal sank to the floor. as a result, the contact crashed into another vehicle. the seat belt failed to retract. a police report was filed. the contact sustained bruises and contusions that did not require medical attention. the vehicle was towed. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the failure mileage was 22,000.

While driving on the interstate at about 75 mph, the vehicle started losing acceleration and eventually stalled. we were in the left hand lane and luckily made it to the shoulder because we were going downhill. it was found to have a faulty fuel pump at 57,749 miles.

Purchased nissan sentra 2013 five months ago at 47,000 miles. i have had my transmission replaced 3 times in 4 months. the first 1 time i was on the highway going 65 mph and the vehicle suddenly decelerated, traffic would not allow me to pull over in time. it came to a complete stop in the middle of the highway. i was pushed to the side after people pulled over. the second time i was on the highway and was able to pull to the side when the car decelerated. towed both times. the 3rd time i was pulling into a rest stop a safe area. i was able to start the car back up but it jerked to the garage. i will be afraid to drive the vehicle and my warranty will be over, i am amazed that a car company ignores this with hundreds of complaints.

Left rear tail light was broken, moisture affected propulsion causing an immediate inability to sustain any acceleration almost resulting in an accident with the sudden loss of power while vehicle was in motion.

When the car sped sometimes begins to vibrate this does at startup until 15 miles and then the car works normally. it is as if in this situation start to happen. by putting the car in neutral does not have this problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle decelerated when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v068000 (fuel system, gasoline). the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

Tl* the contact owned a 2013 nissan sentra. while the contact's son was driving approximately 30 mph, the brake pedal extended to the floorboard when it was depressed. as a result, the contact's vehicle crashed into the rear of the preceding vehicle. the air bags did not deploy and there was no warning indicator. the driver sustained minor cuts that did not require medical attention. a police report was filed. both vehicles were towed to a tow yard. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 25,853.

My car dose not accelerate right since a month ago. car went dealer 3times. 1st time , i go to dealer with recall letter about cvt. then problem still do it. 3days later,they did test drive and reprogram for transmission,,,,, still had problem. 2days later ,again 3rd time to go dealer. they gave to me car with no problem. that's nissan told us. it doesn't do every time,yet. but it feels old car. i could not go after stop light ,could not go over 2000x while running sometimes. i still have payment,too.they should change car or change something.

Intelligent key fob intermittent start/stop of vehicle. went to start my car after dinner and it would not start.no activity when pressing the intelligent key fob. stranded in a parking lot ,called my spouse and then he came with a spare fob, same thing, no start.turned fob around per owners manual and car started but key warning light flashed all the way home. read manual and made sure all caveats were not the issue. winter weather night outside, came home and pulled car in the garage, waited an hour and tried to start car, no problem started fine. went out next morning and car started fine after two stops, at third stop would not start again. used procedure suggested in owners manual and car started. drove to final destination and no key warning light flashing. went online and found many complaints of dealer related issues with replacement of a steering lock switch to cure problem, (at a cost of around 800 - 900 dollars), at the car owners expense. found some other info online suggesting there is an extended warranty from manufacturer on this item. have not yet researched that claim. also some suggestions to inform nhtsa to start a recall process for this as it seems to be widespread with this make and other models of this manufacturer. i am submitting this complaint in the hopes that others will also and get a recall issued for this. will contact a local dealer for more info on status of manufacturer. twice in 24 hrs is not a coincidence. there is an issue with this system and it should be looked into by nhtsa.

An engineer said that car had been overheating in the transmission for a long period of time. my service team did not know about it. the car failed at 89,000 miles and a month before i owned it 3 years. the engineer said that every 50000 miles the 2013 sentra needs a $4000 plus new transmission. i turned the car on after parking and while turning the car everything seemed fine. i put my foot on the gas and the car would not accerate at all and made chunking noises. i parked the car and called a tow truck. the car had two major checkups at the dealership july-august and was assured that nothing was wrong with the car. engineer said it had been overheating during the time of the major check up. nissan tech at service center swore my car was in perfect working condition.

I recently took my 2013 nissan sentra to the dealership for a recall update where the vehicle didn't recognize the passenger seat was occupied by an adult and as a result the passenger airbag was turned off. well, even after the system update i keep having the same problem. the system still doesn't recognize when my mom (150 pounds) is a passenger and even less when my 120 pound sister is with me. this is frustrating and scary because soon my daughter will reach the age where she would be able to ride on the passenger seat. i feel like after investing a considerable amount of money on such an essential asset the least i can do is expect for it to be safe for my family and myself.

The passenger airbag light stays on, we've taken the car to nissan numerous times for repair all within warranty period and still hasn't been fixed. my most recent experience was with a regional consumer affairs agent named ivan who told me "we've washed our hands of it and won't help you anymore". a technician at don williamson nissan in jacksonville north carolina told my wife as she picked the car up the last time from the service center that the airbag won't deploy with an adult in the seat because something called the ocs was programmed wrong. i won't disclose his name since he was helpful in informing us of the issue. i asked an agent on the phone just seconds ago if im suppose to wait until we have an accident and someone gets injured before they do anything about this and she replied, " i guess".

Slipping transmission on takeoff and during any type of acceleration. was about creamed by a truck on 301 turning into hampton oaks parkway in tampa fl. no accident, but also had transmission enter a default state where car wouldn't accelerate over 50mph. dealer hasn't fixed and it is an intermittent issue. dealer says they can't reproduce the problem, autoway nissan of brandon.

Second failed transmission!!!!! driving on the freeway again and the transmission slammed into low gear. this time my father was driving the vehicle. the first blown transmission was at 20k miles this one failed at 9k miles. odometer reading 29k. this is ridiculous, my family and i are afraid to drive this car. will be filling a complaint with nissan as well. even with a warranty this car is on transmission #3. what happens after the warranty expires??? am i left with a death trap waiting for the next transmission to seize up on the freeway and cause an accident.

This happened on the freeway, transmission slammed into low gear going at 65 mph. pulled off the freeway and luckily duarte nissan in california was less then a mile away. the car barely made it. they replaced the transmission but this was at only 20k miles. the dealership said that this is happening to a few vehicles, but this is dangerous that my car slammed into low gear on the freeway. it scared myself and my family.

With no warning, the vehicle applies brakes while in cruise control. brake lights on the vehicle remain active continuously after this. once this has occurred, the cruise control light flashes and the transmission is very limited on power at intermittent intervals. it comes and it goes without reason all the while the brake lights remain fully illuminated. this occurs while the vehicle is in motion. it tends to be while cruise control is enabled, but it has occurred while regularly driving.

My 2013 nissan sentra has a hard time shifting out of park. i called my local nissan dealer ship's service department. the gentleman told me that he sees this issue at least once a week. i have 57,000 miles on the car so it is no longer under the 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. it is still under the powertrain warranty, but he said this is not covered under the warranty. he quoted me $199.00 for the labor and $338.13 for the part (shifter assembly).

Starting when i drove it home from dealers, the rpms go up and down all the time while driving no matter what the speed. i am taking it back to dealing next week for a check up. is this a common complaint?

My son was driving thru a intersection that is when the car stalled out. i have taken it to the machanic and been told that there is nothing wrong with the car. two weeks later the same thing happened and once again took it back into the mechanic. i just got it back and what do you know the car keeps acting like it is going to stall out. don't get me wrong the people at the mechanic shop are nice. but after my google search today i am glad i just hope that with these issues something is done before someone gets hurt. i shouldn't be scared that my son goes places and i have to worry that he may have a car accident.

I have dropped my friend and even after that passenger airbag was on. there is no airbag warning if the passenger does not wear seat belt. not sure if that is the missing feature in the car. nissan dealer says that car does not have a feature to warn if passenger does not wear seat belt.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving at approximately 5 mph, there was an abnormally loud noise coming from the vehicle. the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. the vehicle suddenly rolled away and the brake pedal failed to respond. the emergency brake was engaged. the vehicle restarted about 30 minutes later. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure was not replicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 12,200.

When the vehicle's gas gauge is indicating the fuel tank is empty, after refueling the gauge does not indicate the change. this is a fairly new car, i don't think this should be happening already! i will run out of gas, and it will be because my car isn't telling me the right amount of fuel.

Brakes started making a very loud noise.-dealer continuously denied hearing anything when they claimed they test drove the vehicle. *after several complaints to the dealer they resurfaced the rotors to correct the issue, but issue persisted *noise from brakes got louder- they finally agreed to go in the car with me and concluded they did hear the noise-claimed it was the rear brakes which they claimed they replaced *noise persisted,more return visits- they went back to stating they didn't hear the sound when they test drove it. at one point, the service manager actually stated i was causing the issue. that i had to try to "brake harder" and "slam on the brake" once in a while to "break the glazing" on the rotors? then he said they would not do any more repairs on the brakes, because nothing is wrong with them and said i should contact nissan consumer affairs. *they set up an appointment with a "dts" , their technical expert, to meet me at the same dealer. *the service department had one of their mechanics drive with me while they waited for the dts guy to come back to the dealership. mechanic was in the car with me for maybe a minute or so and heard the sound as soon as i pressed the brake and he determined issue was the front brakes. *dealer said they would only lube the front brakes to make the sound stop. i was not happy with this and now they say they are going to now resurface the front rotors and change the brake pads. i explained to them that i am afraid this is not going to resolve the issue and was told that's all they are doing about it. so after months and months of back and forth they don't even seem to be concerned on completely correcting the issue. i am becoming more and more concerned for my safety and want to make sure my car is not going to place me and my children in danger.

I have a 2013 nissan sentra with 23442 miles. approximately 2-3 months ago, my brake pedal started acting weird. when i slow down to stop or when traffic is slow and i have to constantly step on my brake, the brake pedal looses pressure and goes further down. i had to pump the brake to regain pressure. it came to the point where i had to adjust and bring my seat forward because i'm tip toeing when i brake. also, when i'm on full stop, after few seconds the brake pedal starts going down. took my car to the dealership twice to have it checked and they told me its normal and everything is working as it suppose to be. but i still don't think its normal for my car to do that. i hope nissan pays attention to this issue and do something to fix it.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the tpms warning light kept illuminating intermittently. the contact constantly had to check the tire pressure. although the dealer reset the code, the failure recurred for longer than six weeks. the contact stated that at least three or more times, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road the second time the failure recurred, but there was a strong hesitation as if the vehicle may stall again. the vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced several times. the dealer replaced the transmission three times and indicated that it needed to be replaced a fourth time. the contact was concerned that the failure may recurr intermittently even if the transmission was replaced again. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 17,000.

About a few hours after i signed the paperwork and drove off of the lot with my certified pre-owned vehicle, i heard a grinding sound (rear brakes). i took it back to the dealer that day and they claimed that there was probably debri due to the snow and sand on the roads. i didn't hear the sound again until march, when i took it to the service center at the dealership for an oil change. i had them check the brakes and they told me it was something ball bearings, or something like that. bottom line, it didn't solve the problem. i took the car back to the dealership in may, with the same issue and they replaced the brake "kit." they told me that i shouldn't have anymore problems. i, in fact, did have the same problem again. june 1st i took the car to the dealership again for a brake issue, they took the rear system apart including the wheels, etc. they said that they could not find anything wrong, and to bring it back if i heard the noise again. well, today, i drove the car and the grinding in the brakes is worse than i've ever heard it before. i have an appointment with dealer tomorrow, to see if they can get it right this time. my frustration level is at an all time high. i'm annoyed with the sound and i am sure everyone around me who has to hear it, but i am also concerned about the safety of my family when we are in the vehicle.

Brakes began squeaking upon backing up with around 4000 miles. my personal mechanic passed inspection. with 8800 miles, i was driving about 15 mph attempting to make a turn when i applied brakes and car started to slow down, and then jerked forward as if brakes failed. i had to put the brakes to the floor to slow down and was then able to make my turn. i drove a bit more with no problems, but this was very frightening and will be calling dealer in the morning for further inspection.

Traveling at 50mph on a highway, a rear brake engaged. tire smoke was visible from rear of vehicle. brakes were applied, avoiding accident. rear brake engaged for a second time during same trip. vehicle was taken in for service. wheel cylinder replaced. vehicle continues with noticeable braking problems. --dealerships/service providers are not required to report these events. consumer not aware of this, hence the delay in reporting.-- updated 10/9/15 *ln

I purchased a 2013 certified pre-owened nissan sentra in november of 2014 with 29k miles and loved it, but a couple of months ago we started experiencing issues with the brakes. any time coming to a stop, the brake pedal feels like it has very little brake pressure and the pedal depresses too far down almost as if it had air in the brake system. after coming to a complete stop and while pressing on the brake, seconds later the car starts moving and the brake pedal looses pressure and i have to push my foot further than normal, eventually my foot is near the floor board and have to pump the brake pedal to regain brake pressure. this proves to be very dangerous if you have to make a sudden stop for an emergency or are going downhill and come to a stop behinde another vehicle. being that the vehicle is still under warranty, i took it to the nissan dealership where i purchased it and they have said nothing is wrong with the car and that i was welcomed to drive a new car to see that the issue was considered to be normal operation. that only proves to me that the brake problem is still an issue and nissan has done nothing to fix the problem. they still looked at my brakes and replaced front and rear brake pads as a precausionary measure but the issue still persists. i have never owned a nissan and have alway owned american makes, i feel greatly disapointed in a company that claims to value safety and yet allow their clients to be driving vehicles with such a serious saftey concern. having worked service for a dealership in the past for many years i recognize that technitians can have their hands tied if the manufacturer that engenieered the vehicle doesn't provide a solution for them to repair a problem. if you can please open an investigation regarding this matter and hope that nissan could consider finding a solution for this problem soon.

While driving the vehicle, the accelerator pedal can suddenly become unresponsive, causing the vehicle to lose speed and the engine to slow or nearly stall. this happens frequently when driving, at all speeds from a standing stop to highway speed. this issue sounds very similar to the recall for 908,000 nissan vehicles for accelerator pedal problems in early 2013. i think that recall needs to be expanded to nissan models sold in the usa. i have had the car in for service at my local nissan dealership twice for this issue so far, and the problem has not been corrected.

I was coming up to a stop sign when i pressed my brakes and they descended all the way to the floor with very little resistance. i pumped the brakes in order to stop the vehicle. i continued to drive and was making a left turn at about 5-10mph when i applied the brakes again to slow the vehicle when the brakes gave little resistance and i had to pump the brakes again. as i was pulled up to my parking spot the issue occurred again. this was a sudden change as i was driving the vehicle about an hour beforehand with no issues.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. while driving approximately 20 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and there was a loud grinding noise coming from all of the wheels. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where the diagnosis was unknown. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 126.

While driving home from work i experienced problems with my brakes. i would press the brake pedal to slow down but there would be little pressure and before i know it i have the pedal to the floor and it eventually slows down and stops. this has become a constant problem and very dangerous because i can't get the car to stop right away.i read online that other 2013 nissan sentra owners are having the exact same problem. i would ask you to please investigate this and please contact me with any questions.

Brakes appear to be making a weird creaking noise and barely stopping,when going downhill i almost have to put on my emergency brakes.this has never happened before.

After attempting to accelerate from stop at a stop sign, the sentra would not accelerate higher than about 10 mph. i pushed the gas pedal to the floor, and still no acceleration. after a minute or so, it went back to normal. over the course of an hour long drive, this happened at least 5 times. abs indicator also came on when pushing the brake. vdc and slip lights came on and stayed on for about half an hour. it will perform normally for a day or two. then start malfunctioned at random. two attempts have been made at the dealership to fix it according to diagnostic test which indicated the "brake switch code". brake switch replaced and vehicle performed normally for two days the performed worse than before part was changed. *tr

We bought a new 2013 nissan sentra for our daughter. it is about 1 1/2 years old with about 17,000 miles on it. she was on her way home from school, in stop and go traffic, and had just accelerated when she attempted to stop again. she said she tried to stop but the brake pedal went all the way to the floor with no resistance. then she tried pumping them and they locked up and the car wouldn't stop. so, she rear ended the car in front of her and both of the airbags deployed. no one was in the car with her and there was nothing in the passenger seat. the officer at the scene didn't think the airbags should have deployed in his experience working accidents. there was hardly any visible damage to the cars involved. most of the cost to repair it was from the airbags. i contacted nissan because i learned that the nhtsa was investigating these cars for brake problems. i requested an inspection and they sent a "third party" investigator to retrieve the data off the edr and inspect the car. of course, they could not find anything wrong with the car and the data did not show any brake failure. according to nissan they find "no basis to offer financial assistance in this matter at this time". i just want them to admit there's something wrong and buy back this car. what parent in their right mind would put their child back in that car? besides that, she's scared and refuses to drive it. i don't think it's a coincidence that other people, even though it's just a few, are describing the same thing that she did. i guess they won't do anything until someone gets killed! *tr

Recalled at 3/16/2014 : for airbag persistent airbag light on indicated passenger front seat airbag off since i bought this new car at alhambra nissan in jan 2013. continue to have this issue after few months i purchased it. multiple time i have brought this car to dealership to repair , car fail to be repaired. fair to repaired even after recall at 3/16/2014. still having the same issue now. *tr

I purchased a pre-owned nissan and when i drove it the brake light would come on and the car would leak fluid. i took it in to nissan and was told it was low on brake fluid and needed to be refilled. they refilled it and assured me it was safe to drive. three weeks later the same thing began to happen. i took it back to nissan and they said the brake fluid needed to be refilled, which did not make sense because the brake fluid should never leak. after diagnosis they found out that my abs actuator was broken and needed to be replaced. this part should never break, especially in a car that is so new. for three months i was driving around a dangerous car, and my brakes could have given out at any moment. i've looked online and nissan has had several problems with their brakes, and there were several nissan customers who shared the same problem as me. *tr

As i was driving my car began to jerk. i could not gain any speed and almost cause two accidents because of the way it jerked. *tr

I previously filed complaint, but was now told by the dealership that after the manifold was replaced, that the transmission also needed to be replaced. more waiting time, more unanswered phone calls, more poor service from the dealership. the sentra broke down on 12/20/14 and i'll finally be able to pick up my car on 1/24/15. nhtsa id number: 10672846 summary: my wife was driving on interstate 15 as we left san diego, california. in the car was my adult daughter and my two granddaughters, ages 1 1/2 and 10 months. i was ahead of her in our nissan pathfinder. she called my phone and said that the car rpm's were fluctuating and that the car wasn't going to make it home to twentynine palms. we pulled off the freeway in escondido. i checked the sentra and found that in idle and park that the engine ran fine. when i drove the car, it was lurching like the transmission wasn't shifting correctly. after checking the engine compartment, i drove to a well lite parking lot and while the family ate, i called aaa and had the sentra towed to mossy nissan of escondido. on monday the 22nd, my wife called mossy nissan and told them what happened. they called her back saying that it wasn't the transmission, that a sensor had been taken off of the manifold by her husband or our mechanic. she assured them that since the car was only 13 months old and under warranty, no mechanic had worked on the car and that i had only done the oil changes, but had not worked on the engine. mossy nissan said that they would not honor the warranty since the sensor in the manifold was removed. they referred me to nissan usa, which said the same thing; that since the sensor was missing, they had nothing to turn in for warranty, so they would not honor the warranty. *tr

My 2013 nissan has 75,000 highway miles. i've had no issues with the car until christmas eve. driving home from work when my car started running rough, it didn't seem to have any pick up. i pulled into the closest nissan dealership to find out i had transmission failure and that my warranty had just ran out..i am looking into this a bit more because this transmission is not used in the 2014 or 15 model. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the air bag failed to activate when the front passenger seat was occupied. the vehicle was repaired under nhtsa campaign number: 14v138000 (air bags, electrical system) but the failure persisted. in addition, the contact stated that when reversing, there was a loud abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where the braking system was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 9,000.

Ever since the vehicle was purchased i have experienced issues with the brakes, every time i come to a stop and press the brake after a few seconds the car starts moving and the brake pedal looses pressure and i have to push my foot further than normal, eventually my foot touches the floor of the vehicle and i can't push the brake any further, so i have to tap the gas and then re-engage the brake again. this is very dangerous if you are going downhill and come to a stop. i have taken my car numerous times, that it's getting to the point that its become an inconvenience to actually own the car, to the service department of the nissan i purchased (nissan of bergenfield in new jersey) and they have said nothing is wrong with the car, they looked at the brakes and even applied more pressure on the lines but still the issue persists. i don't understand how a company that values safety would allow their clients to be driving vehicles with this fault. i'm not sure what they are waiting for in order for them to realize that this is not safe by any means, specially for my family who i have to drive and pick up to and from work. i have also spoken with the dealership but have yet to come to a resolution. if you can please open an investigation regarding this matter. please contact me for any information you may need. *tr

The issue began almost immediately after purchasing this vehicle. the passenger airbag would randomly go off, while the passenger was sitting in the seat. shortly after noticing this nissan put out a recall on this vehicle. we have now taken it back to the dealership 2 times, and although they told me the problem was fixed, both times, it continues to exist. i have spoken to nissan corporate around a dozen times. they have no sense of urgency, and each conversation has to happen 48 hours apart, for some strange reason. i am still waiting for another callback so a specialist can now come to look at my vehicle. an appointment like this takes a more than 4 weeks to arrange; again, no urgency. each time they make me schedule something, i have to take a day off of work, because they cannot accommodate evening schedules. i have expressed my concern over the dangers with this issue, yet it seems as though nissan does not care. quite frankly, i am nervous to have people in the passenger seat of my vehicle. it is a bit strange to have my wife sit in the back seat, but this beats having to worry about dangers of sitting in the front seat. *tr

The passenger airbag is deactivated light comes on randomly. i took the car to the dealer for a recall on this matter. after the software upgrade, the light showing the passenger airbag deactivated started coming on randomly. sometimes with people sitting in the seat it would also come on. i took it to the dealer the other day and the service manager said he calibrated it shouldn't happen anymore. two days later it came on again.. with all the problems with airbags, this is very scary. even if the light stops coming on, how will i know if it is really fixed. *tr

I was in a parking lot when i pressed the brake pedal. the brake pedal went to the floor with no resistance. also the car did not begin to stop. i had to pump the brakes in order to notice "normal" operation. this has happened 3 times. i am worried it will happen at a higher rate of speed causing a major accident due to inoperable brakes. *tr

I was hit on the passenger side and when the air bags came out it hit my wrist and broke it in half. *tr

The sentra has a light on the dashboard that alerts the driver if the passenger airbag is disabled. this light on my sentra will sometimes come on even though a 150 pound person is sitting in the passenger seat. initially i was able to get the light to turn off by braking fast. a few nights ago, i could not get the light to turn off for a 20 minute drive even though a 150 pound person is sitting in the seat. per nissan, the air bag is providing no codes for this issue and unless i can recreate it there is nothing they can do. i have contacted nissan customer service and was told to video tape the light, go to a different dealer who can then read the codes of which there are not any or to trade in the vehicle. i am concerned that the air bag will not properly deploy in a front end collision. *tr

A couple of weeks after i purchase the car, i notice that the light kept coming on weather someone was seating there or not. i got a recall notice in the mail and i took my car in for inspection to the dealer. after that they light still kept coming on. i took it back again one more time and they gentlemen said that everything look good. well up to this date, the light is still coming on weather someone is seating in the passenger seat or not. i don't know what to do, because i've already taken it back twice and they keep telling me that everything is okay. i fear for my passenger when i have them in my car. please help me out.

Brake pedal travels to floor brake responce is almost non responcive. pumpming helps.

Exploded sunroof i woke up one morning to a completely shattered sunroof. the sunroof was blown up. i called the insurance company and they explained they never heard of this happening before. i also contacted the nissan dealership in which i purchased the vehicle from and they also never heard of this happening before. i was asked to drive the vehicle to the dealership which then the sunroof then blew out. when i arrived at the dealership there was a hole in the sunroof. i got most of the damage covered by my insurance but this should of been covered by nissan as this is a defect in the sunroof.

Air bag light turn on even though it was occupied. it is not functioning the right way. 4 or 5 months ago i received a letter by mail in regards a recall on vehicle. i took it to the nearest nissan dealership for an inspection and a computer reset. everything was going fine until 8/14 on a friday night we were going to a family reunion. my husband was driving as i was on the passenger seat. we noticed the air bag light turn on again. i would like to know what will be the next step to take? should i take it back to the dealership? *tr

While waiting at the stop light, the car had began moving forward, i noticed the release of the pressure of the brake pedal, and begin to press harder to stop the car. it occurred again, this time i pressed harder and notice the pressure was completely released and had to floor the brake pedal. i took the vehicle to the dealership which they performed a multi-point inspection and performed a few recalls (i.e. a/c and airbags), checked brake fluid, brake line and master cylinder which apparently passed their test. while picking up the vehicle, we performed a test drive and notice the pressure was fine. after driving my car for a few days, again i stopped at a stop light and the issue began again. this time, the brake pedal floored itself and did not come up until i had to take the tip of my shoes to push it up. *tr

Driving home on long island expressway after work, it was rush hour, the traffic move slow. one exit before i should get off high way, noticed something different when stepped on brakes, it was loose, there was no resistance and the car didn't respond, either took long time to slow down a little bit or not slow down. i have no experiences at all and it didn't register in my head it was the brakes, i even thought maybe i was too tired and my judgment was off. i continued driving in the very slow traffic. soon at the exit, i had to pick up the speed a little bit to merge into the service road. then i really realized the brakes not working, because i can't stop the car at the intersection traffic light, the light turn orange at the moment, i had no choice, turned left , the car continued and slowed down a little bit, just wondering what to do at the next intersection , the left turn signal light was on and i turned the car to the left onto the service road again. i was close to home already. at that moment i didn't know what to do, thinking if i can't stop the car at least i should keep it at very low speed , approximately less than 5 miles. at the next traffic light, the car managed to stop. i didn't know if it was because it was already at the lowest speed and stopped naturally or the brakes still had a little control. for the whole time , since i was very scared and panic, i never realized i should forced the car stop with the emergency hand control brake or just switched to parking position. after i passed the traffic light, i remembered and pulled over on the side of the road and parked my car. then i called geico insurance and aaa to have my car towed to the nearest nissan service center. it all happened between 5:30-7:30 pm. the nissan service center already closed the business hour. *tr

Purchased the car in november 2013, driving the highway, as we exit the highway, we had to stop for the red light, once the light change to green, hit the green pedal and the car would not move. had to think quickly so i shut car off, then turned it back on, pressed the gas pedal, but there was no get up and go. the car crept very slowly. was able to make it across the road to the gas station, turned the car off allowed it to set for 15 minutes turned car back on still was driving at less than 20 miles per hour. car was done, there was a hotel the street from the gas station was able to push it over there. knew we had to figure out what to do. called trip a to have the car towed to faulkner nissan on paxton st. in harrisburg pa since it was after 5pm on a saturday, they were closed, and closed all day on sunday. had to get a cab to the harrisburg airport to get a rental car, no way to get back home or to work. paid 355.00 for a 7 day rental. received a called from faulkner nissan monday after having a service technician check it, he said the transmission died. brand new car, faulkner wants to replace it with a rebuilt transmission, questions is will that one break down on me as well. today is wednesday, july 23rd, 2014, still no word on the status of car. *tr

I was operating a 2013 nissan sentra at approximately 45 mph and i placed my foot on brake to slow down to stop at a red light when the brake pedal travelled to the floor. i had the vehicle checked and both front and rear brakes were good. the car wasn't leaking any fluids. i then contacted nissan and they advised i would have to bring the vehicle in for them to check it. while taking the vehicle home fro out trip the problem still existed. it was very frightening to think that this problem just started while driving. this seems to be an ongoing problem with these models and nissan needs to take the appropriate action so nobody is hurt or killed. this car is currently at nissan being repaired. i spoke with nissan and they would not inform me of any problems.....made me feel like they are covering up a serious problem. *js

I was turning and drove thru a intersection that is when my car stalled out. i have taken it to the dealer ship and been told that there is nothing wrong with the car. two weeks later the same thing happened and once again took it back into the dealership. i just got it back on friday and what do you know the car keeps acting like it is going to stall out. don't get me wrong the people at the dealership are nice, but after my google search today i am glad (not really glad sad to see this is a problem but i thought i was going to crazy trying to figure out why) to see that others are having the same exact problem so when i go in tomorrow i have several things to talk to nissan about. i just hope that with these issues something is done before someone gets hurt. i shouldn't be scared to take my kids places in my car. *tr

Passenger airbag sensor does not detect passenger, airbag light would sporadically come on during a trip indicating the passenger airbag has been deactivated. vehicle was taken to nissan dealer for recall work to be performed for the same issue. the same issue arose again within a couple of weeks and i took the car back to nissan to check the problem. the service representative told me that it may be that i or my passenger may not weigh enough for the vehicle to detect us in the seat or it could be the way the passenger sat. i explained to them that when the incident occurs, we confirm passenger is seated properly and our weight was not a problem when we have been seated as passengers in other similarly equipped vehicles i have driven or ridden in. after persisting they do something about this safety issue, they went ahead and told me they replaced a sensor in the seat. a couple of weeks after that i am still having the same problem with the passenger airbag deactivating at random times while the passenger seat is occupied. i have gone back to nissan and they keep telling me they can find nothing wrong every time. i am very concerned as this presents a serious safety risk that may cause the vehicle to malfunction in the event of a collision. *tr

I bought my nissan sentra sv on november 18, 2013 and the next day i had to take it back to the dealer to check the light indicating low pressure in tire(s). the second time i took the car into nissan dealership was on december 18, 2014 when my vehicle air bag light kept disengaging when my husband was seated on the passenger seat. [xxx], who i told what was happening with the air bag light turning off, had the auto tech look at and after the vehicle was done being checked i was told that everything was okay. [xxx] showed me that it was working properly, but when he sat in the passenger seat and the light went off and he tried several time to engage it didn't work, so he went back to talk to the tech and came back and told me that it's okay and to monitor it. now, i receive a recall notice letting me know about the same problem that i took my car in several months ago and told nothing was wrong with it. seriously, what happened if i was in an accident and the airbag didn't work properly and some one got hurt or worst killed. a life can't be replaced, but a car can. i hope that when i take the car into the dealership i don't get the run around and being told nothing is wrong. *tr

The windshield spray does not spray cleaning fluid on the windshield. it hits the bottom of the wiper. i have taken it to the selling dealer, nissan of chesapeake. i have been told that people complain about it all of the time and that it was the number one complaint on this model and it cannot be adjusted. very dangerous if trying to clean salt/road grime from the windshield. *tr

Since purchase, the light indicating "passenger airbag off" is mostly on even when an adult is correctly sitting in the passenger seat. i called nissan as soon as we bought it and they said it had to go to the dealer for a checkup. the first 3 times we took it in, they told us that nothing was wrong. the fourth time, march 22, 2014, they told us they replaced the defective part. soon after we realized that the problem persisted. we took it in again today and they told us that, again, they were unable to replicate the issue on their computer. *tr

While supposedly "stopped" at a red light, i realized i was rolling forward with the brake depressed. i pressed the brake pedal to the floor and the car stopped. when i accelerated ever so slightly, the car bucked and jolted forward. i slowed to a stopped with barely there brakes, put the car in park and pumped up the brakes, raising the pedal. this seemed to temporarily help, but the pedal went to the floor again the next time attempted to stop. car is at the dealership now. i am awaiting their call. *tr

This vehicle was purchased on 12/31/2013, with 22 miles showing on the odometer. approximately two weeks later, while at a stop light, the car engine cuts off, i was able to put the car into park and restart without further problem. the engine has stopped three other times since then, the others were while idling and driving at approximately 25-30mph.i should have taken it back to the dealer after the first incident, but thought it was a fluke, but after the fourth time, i'm a bit afraid that this will continue to happen and probably cause an accident.how do i begin to resolve this problem with nissan? *tr

I have new nissan sentra 2013 sv with automatic cvt; purchased the car in september 2013 . my sentra just started making a intermittent loud whinning noise under the hood. i took the car the nissan dealership where i purchased the car. the mechanic said the loud whinning noise was from the electronic steering and it was normal. how can this be normal noise from a electronic steering? i never heard the load whinning noise until 22 march 2014. noise can be heard inside and outside of car when this problem occurs. the car only has 71 miles on it and is garage kept. i surfed the web and found that some nissan altimas are also experiencing the loud intermittent whinning noise from the electronic steering. i filed a complaint with nissan consumer affairs case id# 14055152 about this problem. i believe that nissan is aware of this intermittent loud whinning noise from the electronic steering and is refusing to anything about it. i hoping that the nhtsa will investigate this problem and force nissan to issue a recall with a permanent fix to the loud whinning noise from the electronic steering. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that while driving 5 mph, the brakes were applied and abnormally traveled to the floorboard. the vehicle did not respond to braking attempts and the contact had to repeatedly pump the brake to stop the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that both master wheel cylinders would need to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacture was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 22,488. *tr

The morning started off with having problems with esf lght, and hand brake light even though hand brake was not applied. i tried to pull over many times, and fix lights but nothing worked. i was at a red light, then it turned green and street traffic proceededd to drive forward but a car 3 cars in front of me stopped abruptly. the car in front of me , had enough time to stop , but my nissan sentra hit the back of the car in front of me. i think that the car and its systems malfunctioned and i would like it investigated , because my accident could have been avoided. i am hurt from this accident, and so is the driver from the car in front of me.

Around 8k my car started with a grinding noise when i would step on the brakes took it for service said the car needed brake fluid, now not even 3months later my car has the similar grinding noise on & off at times not when i step on the brake but when car is running will be taking it to service tomorrow. *tr

I am concerned about the safety of my vehicle due to the way it was designed. it is impossible to keep the front windshield from fogging up or icing up while driving in inclement weather. the defroster does not allow enough heat to blow on the windshield to keep it clear during driving, causing the driver's visibility to be obstructed and making it a safety hazard. due to the fact there is not enough heated air blowing on the windshield, a large section of the corners (especially the passenger side) becomes coated with fog or ice, obscuring vision. the right windshield wiper even becomes coated with a large chunk of ice on the tip, causing it to stop wiping the right side of the front windshield. on a long trip, the driver has to stop the vehicle to manually clean the wiper and windshield on the right side or continue driving without being able to see clearly. this is not always an option, especially if driving on an interstate where there is no safe place to pull off the road. the vehicle is not designed to be driven in a cold climate (like wintertime in the usa). another safety risk i have run into with this vehicle is the placement of the gas tank release button. in order to reach the button, one has to open the driver door and reach down under the front dashboard to pop the gas tank. this makes the driver vulnerable to anyone on the outside of the vehicle who may want to attack or rob the driver from behind while their door is open and they are bending forward. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that while driving 10 mph, the air bag light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection and they stated that the sensor needed to be reset. the vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 5,000.

Engine stalled on the interstate while traveling at 70 mph. stalled again about an hour later at 30 mph. went to dealership, they were unable to reproduce the issue. others have had similar experiences, but nissan will not recognize engine stalls as a current issue with 2013 nissan sentras. however nissan did send me one months car note for the vehicle being in the shop several times for this problem. according to nissan there is a suggested repair involving the accelerator on these vehicles, but the company will not authorize the repair unless their technicians can reproduce the issue. after several calls to nissan they simply say that they understand the problem i am having but the company will not authorize the repair at this time. they more or less left it to me to continue with my own research about a potential recall involving engine stalls. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the vehicle began to lose power. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 7,007. ..updated 02-04-14 *bf

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentry. the contact stated that while sitting a stop light, the passenger's side air bag warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection where they stated that they could not determine the cause of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 11, 051. *tr

Traveling northbound on hwy 5 . a truck veered into the lane and hit the car head on. severe damage yet the air bags did not deploy. thankfully my daughter had on her seat beat. i just brought this car on nov 23, 2013

I only had my car for about 10 months. i keep my car updated with the maintenance. i drove to las vegas, nevada friday afternoon. my car was running great i get to las vegas nevada i here this loud grinding crinkly noise coming from my engine or transmission. i take it to planet nissan in las vegas nevada. they took forever to even take me as a customer. then they come out and say you are not eligible for a rental and your transmission went out. they proceeded to tell me that i will be responsible for the car as far as picking it up when its fixed. this is the worst experience i had with cars. this is the third time something bad happens to this car and its supposed to be brand new. i bought it with 32 miles on it. mind you all this was on a trip i took to vegas with my family. my two year old son was drained from this experience having to spend 6 hours at planet nissan. they even try selling me a another new sentra.

While riding in the passenger seat, the airbag disabled light is still illuminated, leading me to believe that the airbag is disabled even though there is a full grown adult in the seat. it shuts off intermittently, but on today's 6 hour drive it did not turn off once even though there was someone occupying the seat. *tr

Passenger air bag lights up stating air bags are off even though there is an adult sitting in passenger seat. took in today to nissan dealer they said it was something normal. i insisted for them to note it in their system that i took it in for that reason. they decided to keep my car to run tests. *tr

I purchased the vehicle in april. two months laterr i realized that when in drive when i set my foot on the brake i would hear a grinding noise in the back of the car. when i would put it in reverse the noise would not occur. it was always when i would hit the breaks until the car came to a complete stop. it would not make the noise when i hit the breaks suddenly. when i called nissan and brought it in for them i was told that it was a fluid problem. after 2 weeks the noise began again, now it has stopped and goes on and off. also i have noticed that the indicator for the passenger air bag will be off at times when there is an adult sitting in the seat. this also happens on and off. i have had it though, where the indicator has come on saying the air bag is off for 3 days in a row, having someone sitting in it. the third problem is that the windshield wiper fluid does not spray correctly. it pools at the bottom of the windshield and so it does not clean it correctly. finally the last problem is that i have noticed when i fill up the gas tank the amount of miles i get are different every time. i have a particular routine everyday and every weekend. at times it seems i have more gas than when i have filled it up before. when i have used the eco button at times, it seems that once in a while it will work the way it is supposed too. most of the time it seems that the car just guzzles gas more than usual.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that while driving 55 mph, a burning odor was present. the contact pulled over to check under the hood and discovered that the engine was on fire. the fire department was called to extinguish the fire. the fire department was unable to determine what caused the fire. no one was injured. the contact filed a complaint with the manufacturer regarding the fire. the failure mileage was 11,110.

The windshield washer fluid does not get sprayed onto the windshield. rather, the fluid sprays the base of windshield wiper and traps the liquid between the bottom of the blade and into the wiper well. pinhead sized dots of fluid make it halfway up the windshield offering no fluid for the wipers to use to clean the window. after 4 good pulls, excess washer fluid drained from the wiper well and ran down the side of the car exiting from the driver wheel well. the wipers do not "grab" and carry up onto the windshield the excess fluid as it drains back into the wiper well as the fluid is sprayed at the base of the wipers out of reach of the blade. i have just returned from taking my car to sid dillon nissan in lincoln, nebraska, and was told if they adjusted the sprayer it would spray the inside of the hood and they must leave the nozzles where they are. i should note the nozzles are anchored to the hood and raise up and away from the engine (no fluid lines attached when hood is open) when the hood is raised this is dangerous...i will not be able to clean my windshield (which is the purpose of the fluid sprayer) when encountering post-storm highway sludge, melting and dirty snow are thrown onto the windshield of my car by other vehicles. i do not know if the nozzles are defective and the service department is reluctant to replace them or if this is a design flaw. either way, if the windshield gets dirty while i am driving, i will not be able to see. this is terrifying. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact was driving approximately 20 mph and crashed into a deer. the contact stated that the brakes were applied but did not respond. the vehicle sustained body damage as a result of the crash. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the vehicle was not taken for inspection of the braking failure or repairs. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 21,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the brakes seized and caused the contact to crash into the rear of another vehicle. there were no injuries and a police report was filed of the incident. the vehicle was towed to a collision repair shop where the technician diagnosed that the entire front end of the vehicle would need to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the incident. the approximate failure mileage was 900.

Notices a creaking noise from passenger side rear brake at slow speed approx 3 weeks ago, intermittent. was driving on friday 11/22 and heard a loud thump, checked car and didn't see anything. driving about 1/2 hour later, head a loud thump and felt the car jerk. stopped, visual check of car tuned up nothing. continued to drive and then right rear brake started to squeak, which turned into a loud grinding noise. got the car to local nissan dealership, and upon inspection said that the rear brakes had failed and needed new drums and pads! 11k miles on drum rear brakes should not result in failure. covered under warranty, but nervous to drive thr car now. *tr

I took my car in for the third time about the rear brakes. at first there was a grinding noise. i was told something had gotten loose and that it was fixed. it wasn't, i took back a second time, i was told that they had to put some more lube on it. well that worked for a little bit. now i can't back up without the brakes squeaking like crazy, the grinding is back and now when i turn the wheel you hear a clunking noise. also the brake pads are already worn.... on an 8 month old car! i have emailed nissan about this and waiting for a reply. i am filing a report to the attorney general and nissan. if this is not fixed i plan to use this lemon law. i have all the noise recorded on video and kept all the records of when the car went in. the brakes wearing out this fast is ridiculous on a new car! if the brakes fail, i could get into an accident and then it's my fault. oh and as for the squeaking of the brakes, "it's a case by case issue." which mean it could take at least a month before it is repaired. but the dealership assured me that no other damage will be done.... then why are things getting worse! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that when accelerating from a complete stop, there was a significant delay in acceleration response. in addition, the vehicle decelerated without warning when driving at various speeds. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for diagnosis. the technician was unable to duplicate the problem. the manufacturer was notified of the defect. the approximate failure mileage was 770. updated 12/24/13*cn the consumer stated on two occasions, the vehicle lost power, and it would not accelerate.

I got side-swiped on monday, and on wed a second person was in my blind spot while i was trying to merge to the right. i had my signal lights on, i looked several times each time. the only reason why i was able to avoid the 2nd accident was because i heard the person's brakes screech. there is no visibility out the back rear passenger window. the door comes up significantly higher (maybe 4-5 inches) than in the older sentra's. the mirror does not rotate far enough to the right in order to see in to the blind spot. no one riding in my blind spot can see my blinking signal light. overall this car is dangerous to drive. getting hit once and almost a second time was scary. this happened on a very busy highway (495). this car needs to be recalled. the flaws are inherent to the poor design of the vehicle. the door and mirrors are defective. these are design flaws which the consumer can't fix or maybe unaware of during a simple test drive. this car should not be driven on a highway. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the contact notice a loud grinding sound when applying the brakes. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated that the brake drums needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 4,800.

Bought car may 2013. in july 2013 heard noise when braking. took to nissan dealer service dept. told it was the rear wheel cylinder. said they needed to order the parts. awaiting call.

I leased a 2013 nissan sentra from nissan 46, nj in march, 2013 and from july, i kept hearing a loud grinding noise from rear part of the car every time i pressed down on the brake pedal. *jb

I took my car to the dealership on 4/26/13 upon hearing a rubbing noise in the back when brakes are applied at 20 mph & lower speeds. first time dealership couldn't "heat" or find a problem. brought it back in on 5/10/13 for same problem. shop fireman verified noise. determined it was a rear wheel bearing. brought the car back to the service department on 6/4/13 for same problem . nissan said rear brakes needed more lube. problem continued after. on 9/6/13 took car back to dealership service department for same problems. nissan is now saying rear wheel cylinders should be replaced but that it is not a safety issue. waiting on parts to come in to fix problem.

1st incident with our new 2013 nissan sentra occurred @ 247 mi., in our possession less than 1 week, going 50mph (2 children in car with me), car just shut off. dealer reset computer system. it has been down hill since, i took it in today for the 5th time since it was purchased 3.5 months ago (it now has 3700mi). repeated issues with rpm's running high anywhere between 2,000 & 4,000 or at an all most stop will flutter down to 0 like it's going to stall. crackling/rattling noises from the driverside dashboard. now also coming from the a-pillar (?). issues with speakers (static/crackling noises) had the same break and airbag light issues. there is now growling noises coming from front, car seems to "buck" around 2-4k rpm's. oh yeah my driver door handle is now falling apart. did i cover all the problems i have had with a $20+ brand new car???? i think so, but then again we haven't owned it all that long! i did open a claim with nissan consumer affairs when it was in on it's 3rd visit, i was denied a repurchase, but rest assured a nissan certified repair shop will fix any problems. waiting on dealership to decide if they can do anything?! next step attorney!!!!! *tr

Purchased 2013 nissan sentra in late feb 2013. within a few weeks the passenger air bag light came on while i had my wife or my son the car. both are around 140 pounds. i have everything reset/reprogrammed at the dealership. worked fine for a few more weeks, then same problem. had the recall work done. work fine for another few weeks, then same problem. i have had this brand new car back 6 times to the dealership. they have done everyhting they know to do. i have provided videos to them each time it happens. most recent time (#7) happened a week or so ago (no in aug 2013). was on about a 15 minute trip with my son in the car and the light was on the entire time. dealership asked me to bring the car in to check the codes. now, miraculously, there are no codes, so nissan is telling them that nothing is wrong with my car. meanwhile, i continue to take videos of the incidents as they happen. but, no one can help. now in the process of demanding a new car from the dealership with no money out of my pocket since this happened very soon after buying. i doubt i'll get satisfaction. first people to be sued if i'm ever in an accident and that air bag doesn't open will be the dealership and nissan. do the right thing and stand behind your products and trust loyal customers who have all the proof needed!

Grinding noise from rear brakes when stopping from slow speeds, i was told it was a part that can rust when sitting for a short period of time but would stop. problem still exist. going to take car in for another inspection 8/20 hoping for better results. *tr

Two days after i bought this 2013 nissan sentra. when sister (120 bl) sit in the passenger seat and the passenger side airbag light was on, after couple minutes the light went off. later on, the light on again. i check the user's manu, it said if the airbag light on which means the airbag is not in working condition, if i have a crash, the passenger will not got any airbag protection. i went back to the dealer's service department and the mechanic said it was common, just because the airbag sensor under the "new designed" seat was not so sensitive,and he said my sister is not heavy enough(120 bl) to make the airbag work. the reason that the airbag light on and off was because my sister did not sit properly. but when i ask why this situation never happen in my other cars. he could not say anything. he told me the car was designed like this. he did not do anything and he just sent me home that day. i got a call from their customer service today. they said they knew there was a recall about the passenger airbag issue, but my car was not in that category, even my car have the same problem as the recall issued. what a joke!!! it seems they will not do nothing until someone got injured. it is a safety issue, if i can not get a good solution, this car will be my first and last nissan ever. i feel so disappoint!!! i hope nissan will not be a second ''toyota". *tr

Update on what herb gordon nissan found on the brake issue - the first time they were instructed to lube the brake cylinders as per a service bulletin. the noise was gone for a few days but started to occur again. the second time they changed the brake cylinders all together which has seemed to fix the grinding/crackling noise. the ac stopped working and was blowing hot air - they had to replace the entire ac compressor. so many issues in less than 5000 miles of driving. *tr

I was driving back from el cajon, ca on the 52 when i was going down the hill i was hearing this loud grinding crackling noise from the rear brakes. the noise still to this day is getting louder and louder. i took my car to the nissan services to check it out. they had a mechanic drive with me to here the noise. when we were driving he said there was no noise. so the service adviser came to me tell me there's nothing they can do if the noise was not confirmed by the mechanic. so i call my boyfriend and tell him to explain the noise we've been hearing. they do another test drive and the mechanic confirms that there's noise in the rear brakes. i asked for a rental car. the adviser just said there's no way nissan's gonna pay for a rental because i feel unsafe. i mentioned to him that i don't feel safe driving the car because i basically go everywhere with my son in my car. he said he will order parts and get in contact with me when they come in. *tr

Since 6/15/2013 rear passenger side drum brakes making abnormal noise. finally nissan(hudson nissan) replaced part no. 44100-3sg0a cylinder rear on 7/11/2013. almost one month nissan did not repair and ask me to drive. on 7/24/13 during the driving, brake was extremely loose and press pad all the way to the flower to stop the vehicle @ 4224(mil). nissan called and no abnormality found. no root cause found, no corrective action results re-occurrence and this is not safe to drive. *tr

Driving as usual and applied the brakes approaching a red light and heard a loud grinding noise. it's a brand new car and had approximately 1,000 miles at that point in time. i had it looked at by the dealer and he has parts on order and i will return to have it fixed. i hope this is the end of this issue. however, i am greatly disappointed and stressed out by this event. i bought a nissan based upon their reputation and recommendations from friends. i think this is my first, last and only nissan ever. i had a 12 year old toyota camry that was more reliable than this. i hope an investigation into the brake issue is undertaken and quickly since it could turn into a dangerous and unfortunate situation for many. *tr

I purchased the vehicle from buena park nissan at the end of may and in mid-june/ early july i kept hearing a loud grinding noise every time i pressed down on the brake pedal. on july 15th i took the vehicle to the nissan dealership for an oil change and mentioned the noise to the representative. i was told that a part had been ordered and i would be contacted when it arrived. i have still not been contacted by the dealership. recently i experience the car move even though i have the brake petal firmly pressed down. *tr

Funny, i have had my 2013 sentra to falhaber nissan 6 times for this same brake issue, air bag (there was a recall on it), and the a-pillar on the driver side keeps coming loose. to date i still have the grinding noise and brake issue along with the a-pillar coming loose which the air bag is located behind. i have been told it was in my trunk, my license plate vibrating and even stated to me they don't know what the problem is. i bought a brand new car, why lie to me? fix the problem or return my money is how i feel. my safety and others with me is too important. i have also experienced the decrease in acceleration thankfully, not while in traffic. i thought that was the cvt transmission. ben from falhaber stated to me a couple times along with others from nissan consumer affairs that no one else has reported this. again, another lie after reading all these posts. i have filed for the lemon law refund. *tr

Rear driver side brake as i am driving and apply brakes you can hear like a horrible sound like grinding noise you also can hear it if the car is at park and you go up and down on brake pedal i was at teddy's nissan dealer for first oil change told advisor he tells me to bring it back on monday morning that they only do oil changes on saturdays so i will be going monday morning so they can repair the problem will get back and let all knows how the do. *tr

I have also been experiencing the loud grinding noise from the rear brakes. i took the car in today for its first oil change and showed the technician the issue. i also have a problem with the a/c not cooling. there have been a couple of times while driving when the a/c starts to blow warm air for a long time and then randomly starts to cool again. hopefully the dealership can get it fixed without causing any additional grief! the car has been driven less than 5,000 miles! *tr

Vehicle owner notice that large abnormal cracking noise from passenger side rear right drum brake. brought to nissan dealer and they repair according to service bulletin reference no.:ntb13-031 issued on march 27,2013 classification br-13-002 however recurred on 6/26/13 same large abnormal cracking noise from read passenger side drum brakecorrective action: applied a small amount of brake fluid to the bore of the rear brake wheel cylinders. however recurred on 6/26/13 same large abnormal cracking noise from read passenger side drum brake and brought in nissan dealer on 6/29/13. vehicle still at dealer as of 7/1/13. *tr

This is a follow up on the safety complaint i previously filed on 6/2/2013, when my sentra 2013 suddenly had big grinding noise on the passenger rear wheel when i applied the brake pedal decelerating the car. after having the car towed to the local dealer, the dealer diagnostic and confirmed the rear brake broke apart inside the rear brake drum damaged brake shoe, brake self-adjusted assembly, anti-shoe rattle clip and pin. though nissan covered the repair, replacement parts, and towing cost, it still cost me one day off work and the car had to sit at the dealer couple days waiting for the replacement parts. i then looked up the internet and found the sentra 2013 rear brake part diagram (see link below). what really scare me is the new 'u' shape anti-shoe rattle springs / clips (instead of the traditional circle / washer shape ones typically found on most vehicles) that are used to lock the brake shoes in place with the anti-shoe rattle pins. these u-shape anti-rattle shoe springs might come off if the car running on bad roads often or big bumps over the time. i am really concerned about the safety on sentra 2013 rear brake and hoping someone could investigate to prevent future safety issues. ----- http://www.enissanparts.com/nissanparts/index.cfm?bodycolor=&trimcolor=&body=4s&engine=mra8de&area=cal&grade=s&trans=cvt&action=replacement&groupid=h&sectionid=441&partcode=&jointvehid=17659&makeid=25&siteid=216803&illust_seq=01&partnumber=part+number&description=keyword. *tr

2013 nissan sentra only 5 months old with 7000 feel like a 20 year old car. every time i hit the brake to slow down, i hear squeaking noise and feel like the pads are grinding, i will have to take it to the dealer to have it checked out. oh and you can't lift you wiper blades because the hood is in the way. how the heck are you suppose to clean you windshield or replace wiper blades. a/c goes on when you change to defrost or recirculation and you have to manually disengage when changing modes. should have went with the corolla. *tr

When i am stopped at a light, the car seems to creep forward when brake pedal depressed. i need to continually apply more pressure and the pedal becomes spongy. also, i now notice that when stopped or going slow, engine fumes are coming from my air/heating vents. don't know if its exhaust or an oil leak somewhere. car only has 400 miles on it and i've had car since end of february 2013. *tr

My 2013 nissan sentra with 142 miles already has problem with the service brakes. i was completely stopped at a traffic light. while waiting for the light to change i noticed that my car started to move forward. my first reaction was to press a little bit harder on the brake pedal, the car stopped, but a few seconds later the car started to move again. i kept pressing on the brake pedal a little bit harder every time it started to move, until the pedal reached the maximum travel, all the way to the bottom. even with the brake pedal pressed all the way to the bottom, the car kept on moving forward. at that moment i was inching away into the incoming traffic, so i had to pull the parking brake to stop the car from moving forward. this incident was very scary to say the least. now my car is at the dealer in the service department waiting for a new master cylinder. what i cannot understand is how such an important / critical system of a brand new car could fail in 4 days, and less than 150 miles. anyone else experienced anything like this? *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that the rear brakes failed while driving 50 mph. the brake pedal was depressed and the rear brake system activated but failed to disengage. the rear brake made also exhibited a loud metal noise. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where an inspection was performed. the dealer advised that the rear brake band was defective and caused the rear brake system not to release. the dealer cleaned and greased the rear brakes however, the failure was not corrected. the rear brakes still would not disengage when activated. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 2,000 and the current mileage was 11,518.

While applying the brake pedal decelerating the car, the car suddenly had a very loud grinding noise on the rear passenger wheel, like the brake rotor grinding against some metal parts that broke loose inside. after stopping the car inspecting passenger rear wheel and found nothing, i got back to the car slowly accelerating it. the loud grinding noise got worse and i felt the brake pedal kinda light (like not all 4 brakes are being applied). i suspect the brake shoes or components broke apart inside the brake drum of the rear wheel (passenger side). fortunately, i was at slow speed (20-30mph) and only one block away from home. will have it towed to the local nissan dealer to have it checked out as i only had this car for about 7-8 month from brand new. since this is an all-new design 2013 sentra, i am concern this is a flaw on the brake design that could cause extreme dangerous hazards on the road. though my car should be covered under manufacturer 36-month bumper to bumper warranty, i am strongly asking to have the rear brake system on the 2013 nissan sentra investigated and recalled / corrected if necessary. this would help not only protect my family, my investment, but also others from running into the same incident operating this particular model in the future. *tr

I was traveling on the interstate on 4/6 headed to sc at 5 am when the car started to decelerate by itself. with the gas pedal to the floor the car would not go past 45. then suddenly it will take off. the car does this at random and it cannot be detected on the computer according to nissan. friday night the car did the same thing. this time was worst and i was in traffic with people behind me. as i started to pull off from the light the car would not go past 25. i immediately put the flashers on prayed that i did not get hit from behind. i am afraid to drive the car and i am currently paying for a rental because nissan lithia springs refused to give me a rental or loaner. i am very distressed about this car. nissan lithia springs said they would trade me out the car but wanted to treat it as a trade. why would i pay for two cars when my sentra is obviously a lemon. i am otally frustrated i have a brand new car that i cannot drive and know one seems to care. the car was purchased on 3/18. went to service 4/8 picked up 4/9 they said that it was a idle program. returned to service 4/11 and was picked up 4/24. i took the car back on 4/26 and it is still there. i have tried contacting nissan consumer affairs and they don't return phone calls or emails.

Extremely loud increasing grinding rear drums brakes noise, when applying the brakes the local sale distributor dealer representative tell me that there is no solution for that yet. there may be a death risk concern because are the brakes of the car ........... *tr

Air bags on passenger side do not work all the time if someone is sitting in the seat. light stays on even an adult is sitting in the seat. *tr

I purchase this as a brand new vehicle last month from a nissan dealer. today morning when i left home at 5:40am the temperature was around 25f and when i switched on the car and pulled it to the drive mode suddenly the engine stopped by itself. i then pulled it back in the parking gear and reigned the engine and left home. i reached outside my house stopped to take a left turn and the car stopped again! i feel scared driving this car now on freeway as i feel it may stop anytime and i might get into a big crash. there is a recall letter i received on this car yesterday and it said the first problem i stated above when the car is moved from p to d sometimes it stops but not that it would ever stop while in motion which is very very scary. i hope you will be able to help me and any other owners of this car. thanks. *tr

The passengers seat air bag sensor does not recognize when there is someone sitting and will not activate. i took the car to service and the guy told me that maybe it was because i was too skinny and maybe the sensor did not recognize that there was someone is actually sitting in the passengers seat. it is very dangerous because in a car accident it will probably not work. the car also have an annoying noise each time i hit the breaks in the back right side of the car. it have been 3 months and 3 service visits and several calls to service, distributors, etc. and i have not received an answer on how or when they will fix the problem. they told me to keep using the car because it was not a safety issue, but the brakes have gone blank twice making me very nervous of using the car. still no answer from nissan. *tr

Took off from a stop sign and my car stalled. i turned the car off and on again and it ran fine. this isn't the first time this has happened to me, but the others were when it was pretty cold outside and i deemed that the reason for the stall. now i believe it has to be something more. *tr

I was waiting at a red light to make a left turn. once the light turned green and i stepped on the accelerator, the car started to jerk and lost power. it did not turn completely off but it would not drive. i had to put my hazard lights on to avoid being rear ended by the vehicle directly behind me that was also making a left turn. i owned the car for less than 24 hours at that point. it only had 152 miles on the odometer. the dealership sent a tow. the diagnosis was that the software needed to be updated. i don't understand how nissan can sell a car that isn't properly programmed? why wasn't the programming checked prior to me driving it off the lot? i will drive it for a few days to see if it happens again. *tr

Passenger airbag off light staying on regardless of whether or not there is a person over 100lbs in the passenger seat. air bag indicator light staying on the dashboard, while it is supposed to turn off after 7 seconds. i took the car into the dealership on tuesday 2/26/13.. they said it is a faulty censor and that the passenger seat cushion needs to be replaced, however the parts are on backorder with no definite time line. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan sentra. the contact stated that while traveling 35 mph, the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning. the contact was able to merge to the side of the road to restart the vehicle. the vehicle then began to function normally. the vehicle was able to be driven to the dealer where the failure could not be replicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. the failure mileage was 419 and the current mileage was unavailable.

Driving home the other night and when i got on the highway the transmission failed. first it started revving really high and not shifting, then it stopped working all together. no matter how hard i pressed on the gas it would not go. it was very dangerous to be stuck on the highway with a car the would not go. fortunately i was able to crawl to an offramp and onto a side street. i had to have towed to the nearest dealer. after examining it, they said it was making a wining sound and had to be replaced.

Airbag light is always on whether its in park or i'm driving it even when seatbelt is being used.

In the evening of 12/23/2015 when entering freeway 101 in ca at the gilroy entrance, i pressed the accelerator pedal in my vehicle in order to reach the freeway speed of 65 mph. when pressing the accelerator i didn't get the acceleration going and i experienced a sudden jerk motion in the car. the car did not accelerate up to the 65 mph and i had to enter the freeway at a speed of about 40-50 mph. if a driver had been entering the freeway behind me at regular acceleration, probably he would had crash into my car. after noticing the lack of acceleration, i felt the car tried to change gears but didn't, experiencing more jerking when pressing the accelerator. after driving in the freeway for 13 miles, i exit the freeway and the checkengine light came on. i was able to drive home and next day drive to the local mechanic for a quick checkup. the local mechanic did a computer diagnosis and determined there was a problem with the transmission and the transmission solenoid. my car has only 73,179 miles and is is pretty unusual that such a driven vehicle fails at this mileage. 2 more diagnostics were run with the computer description stating clutch pressure disengagement performance. transmission fluid levels fine. this kind of failure is inadmissible in a car this old and very dangerous in a highway scenario.
