2014 Nissan Sentra Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 65 MPH, THE TACHOMETER FLUCTUATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOSES NISSAN OF HUNTINGTON (5200 US ROUTE 60 EAST, HUNTINGTON, WV 25706, 304-736-5291) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE REMEDY FAILED AND THE TACHOMETER CONTINUED TO FLUCTUATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the vehicle had been emitting a loud noise coming from the front-end and underneath the vehicle whenever the vehicle was started. While attempting to accelerate, the transmission was slipping. The vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The failure occurred intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission had failed. The contact was referred to the dealer for warranty assistance. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The failure persisted and recurred more frequently. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and filed a case. The manufacturer confirmed that the vehicle was included in an Extended Warranty Program. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED, NEEDED REPLACED AFTER 95,000 MILES. THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING HARD FROM A STOP AND BETWEEN GEARS. FOUR DIFFERENT MECHANICS, INCLUDED A NISSAN TECHNICIAN, ALL AGREED THAT IT WAS A BAD CVT TRANSMISSION. NISSAN TECHNICIAN LOOKED UP EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH WAS OFFERED ON 2007-2010 MODELS, BUT HAS NOT YET BEEN EXTENDED TO NEWER MODELS AND THEREFORE COULD NOT BE APPLIED TO MY CAR. I JUST SPENT $3800 TO GET THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED ON A 3 1/2 YEAR OLD CAR.

TRANSMISSION MAKES LOUD NOISE

WHEN I'M DRIVING SOMETIMES IT'S AS THOUGH THERE IS SLUGGISH CHANGING INTO GEARS.IT'S LIKE IT WINDS OUT TOO FAR AS THOUGH IT HAS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.THIS MAINLY HAPPENS WHEN I'M GETTING UP SPEED.NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, HE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEST SIDE NISSAN (1729 CASSAT AVE, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32210), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION. AT 55,000 MILES.

THE AIR SENSOR ATTACHED TO THE AIR FILTER SYSTEM, CAUSES ME LOOSE MASS AMOUNTS OF FUEL COST $200 AND FOR KNOW I CAN RESTART IT TO GET IT TO WORK RIGHT BUT IT HAPPENS LOTS OF TIMES AT ANY SPEED ELECTRICAL IS PART OF THE SENSOR. WINDSHIELD WAS NEVER SEALED RIGHT ON TOP OF IT LEAKS CONSTANTLY AND THE FRONT SUSPENSION SOUNDS LIKE A BOMB HITS WHEN HITTING ANY SIZE BUMP BIGGER THAN A SOFTBALL SIZE CHECKED IT BEST I COULD PLUS MECHANIC AND NO KNOWN REASON SEEN

WAS ON A 5-LANE HIGHWAY (SPEED LIMIT: 50MPH) AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE EFFECTIVELY. THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SURGE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN INTERMITTENT REVING. LUCKILY, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. UPON STARTING FROM A LIGHT, THE ENGINE LAGGED TRYING TO ACCELERATE LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. THEN IT REVVED TO REDLINE WITHOUT ANY ACCELERATION. ACCELERATION CONTROL WAS NOW COMPLETELY GONE ON A 40MPH ROAD. THANKFULLY, I MADE IT TO A TWO LANE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC WHEN IT HAPPENED AND COASTED APPROXIMATELY A HALF MILE HOME. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH 62,000 MILES ON IT. THEY ADVISED THE CVT NOT REPAIRABLE AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT AS THEY FOUND PIECES OF THE DRIVE BELT AND WASHERS PRESENT IN THE TRANSMISSION PAN. THEY SAID THE FACTORY WARRANTY WAS 5-YEARS/60,000 MILES AND WOULD NOT ASSIST. CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY DECLINED TO ASSIST STATING THEY WOULD NOT HELP BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, PREOWNED AND THEY COULD NOT LOCATE SERVICE RECORDS. THE DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS $3,800 TO REPLACE THE CVT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND WILL NOT ASSIST. IT CAUSES AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ACCELERATION CONTROL AND NEAR STATIONARY TRAFFIC IMPEDANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 2 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THOROUGHBRED NISSAN (5163 E 22ND ST, TUCSON AZ), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,900.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE STATIONARY AND IN THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES SEIZED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED PRIOR TO THE RAPID ACCELERATION. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. COURTESY FORD OF CONYERS, GEORGIA (1636 DOGWOOD DR, 30013) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 77,400.

I BOUGHT A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA ABOUT 2= MONTHS AGO THEY SAID THAT THE CVT AND TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT AND THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS ON THIS MATTER. I STILL OWE 12000 ON THIS CAR AND I AM NOT PAYING 6000 OR SOMETHING I DIDN'T CAUSE. I AM PAYING FOR A CAR THAT I CANT DRIVE.

CVT TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY SLIPPING, JERKING, SHUDDERING AND A SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION.

AFTER STARTING MY ENGINE, SHIFTING MY CAR IN DRIVE AND MOVING FORWARD, I HEAR A WEIRD NOISE AND MY CAR KICKS BACK A LITTLE BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. PLEASE HELP?

AIRBAG SIGN IS DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD 6 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. CALLED THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY DENIED THE REQUEST TO FIX THE RECALL FOR THIS AIRBAG ISSUE. AIRBAGS MAY NOT BE DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE.

WHILE DRIVING IN EVENING INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE STARTED REVVING UP. RPM INDICATOR WOULD SURGE TO ANYWHERE BETWEEN 2 AND 6 AND VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO SLOW VEHICLE DOWN BY BRAKING, CAR HESITATED AND HAD VERY LOW POWER. IT FELT AS IF IT WOULD CUT OFF. IT DID NOT CUT OFF. CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND THEN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE CVT VALVE NEEDED REPLACING. WHEN PRESSED, STATED REASONS FOR THIS COMPONENT GOING OUT WAS UNKNOWN AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. FAILURE MILEAGE 39724. AFTER PART REPLACEMENT (UNDER POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY) CAR WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR ON CITY ROADS BEFORE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS AGAIN. PROBLEMS, WHILE DRIVING, INCLUDED RPM SURGING TO 6, WITH RAPID ACCELERATION AND THEN MAJOR DECREASE IN POWER. AT STOPLIGHT, CAR FELT AS IF IT HAD CUT OFF. GAS PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED FULLY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO MOVE FROM STOPPED POSITION (AT STOPLIGHT). VEHICLE'S SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND DECREASE IN POWER IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE BOTH INTERSTATE AND CITY DRIVING. RAPID ACCELERATION AND LOOSE OF POWER COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING AND A SECOND COMPLAINT WILL BE FILED ONCE THEY HAVE GOTTEN BACK TO ME.

CONDENSATION INSIDE DRIVERS SIDE TAILLIGHT. THIS CAUSED BRAKE LIGHTS TO BE ON CONTINUOUSLY WHEN HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. IT ALSO GREATLY REDUCED THROTTLE RESPONSE. VEHICLE NEVER HAD ANY INCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED CONDENSATION, NO VISIBLE CRACK. DEALER REPLACED LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND SAID THEY HAVE SEEN A FEW OF THESE.

PASSENGER AIR BAG IS STUCK IN OFF MODE - THIS IS SAME ISSUE AS RECALL 15V681000 BUT NISSAN INSIST THIS VEHICLE IS FINE AND DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE - THEY ARE VERY INCORRECT

HELLO! I AM THE OWNER OF NISSAN SENTRA, I HAVE TO REPORT A PROBLEM TO YOU, MY 2014 SENTRA (VIN: [XXX]) HAS PROBLEMS. TODAY (AUGUST 2,2017) 1:05 PM, WHEN I DROVE OUT FROM THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT, THE GEAR SHIFT ROD IS DRIVE, BUT THE CAR IS BACK, AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE LIT UP. I CONFIRMED THAT IN THE DRIVE ONCE AGAIN, THE CAR IS STILL BACKWARDS. MY CLASSMATE [XXX] HAD SEEN ALL, HE SUGGESTED ME TURN OFF THE ENGINE, AND RE-START, THE CAR RETURN TO NORMAL. I AM SO WORRIED ABOUT THAT IF THE PROBLEM IN THE DRIVING, MAY CAUSE A TERRIBLE CAR CRASH, I AM SCARE ,I HAVE NO DARE TO DRIVE THIS CAR, I HOPE YOU CAN INVESTIGATE CLEARLY. THANK YOU! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE RIGHT, IT SHIFTS, IT "LULLS" IT HESITATES, I HAVE AN ISSUE TRYING TO ACCELERATE FAST ENOUGH AT STOP LIGHTS AND DRIVING ON THE MERGE RAMPS FROM THE HIGHWAY I DRIVE EVERYDAY TO WORK. AT TIMES IT FEELS LIKE AS SHIFTING GEARS, IT QUICKLY SHIFTS TO ANOTHER GEAR OR LIKE I MENTIONED ABOVE, THERE IS A ""HESITATION" BETWEEN SHIFT GEARS.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle jerked and lost automotive power. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal, but the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. After several attempts, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the residence. A mobile mechanic arrived at the residence and diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then towed to another independent mechanic, who confirmed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was towed to the daughter's residence. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT IN A CITY STREET THE ENGINE WENT DEAD AND THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH BOARD LIT UP. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE CAR I TURNED OFF THE A/C AND THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY A MAJOR PROBLEM COULD HAVE OCCURRED.

THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR OVER 4 MONTHS. I ALSO GOT A PAPER NOTICE ONTO MY HOUSE SAYING THE AIRBAGS FOR ONE OR A FEW OF OUR CARS HAD A RECALL. I CHECKED ONLINE AND MY CAR WAS ONE OF THEM.

OCCUPANT IN REAR MIDDLE SEAT UNABLE TO UNDO SEAT BELT RESTRAINT, UNABLE TO UNFASTEN REAR CENTER SEAT BELT, HAD TO PASS SEAT BELT OVER OCCUPANT HEAD IN ORDER TO RELEASE HER FROM SEAT BELT. CAR IN PARK POSITION.

TAMARA RECALL I OWN A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA AND ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY. I WAS SLOWING DOWN BECAUSE THERE WAS A CONSTRUCTION ZONE COMING UP WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE BREAKS I HAD TO USE THE E BREAK BEFORE I CAUSED A PILE UP. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT NISSAN BUT I HAVE HAD NO LUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED WHILE RESTARTING. PLANET NISSAN OF LAS VEGAS, NEVADA WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

TAKATA RECALL MY CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY ON ME WITH OUT A WARNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREETS GOING TOWARDS WORK. I NEED NISSAN TO CHECK OUT WHAT'S GOING ON THIS IS NOT JUST HAPPENING TO ONE PERSON BUT A LOT. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND ATTEMPTING TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL TO A HIGHER POSITION, THE STEERING WHEEL DROPPED DOWN AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. TO CONTINUE DRIVING, THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE A TOWEL UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED DUE TO THE DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

I CAME OUT OF WORK TO LEAVE AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AS SOME AS I WAS LEAVING WORK. THANKFULLY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD NO WARNING THAT IT WAS GOING OUT ON A CAR THAT IS JUST 3 YEAR OLD. I WANT TO GET THE WORD OUT SO NO ONE GETS HURTS!

SQUEAKY BRAKES. *TR

WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO EXCELLERATE THE VEHICLE WILL REV UP THE ENGINE AND WILL NOT GO UNLESS IT JERKS INTO GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND IT SAYS ITS THE CLUTCH PRESSURE PLATE THE CAR ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR A YEAR. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WILL COST THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX.

WHEN A TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR (NISSAN SENTRA ) BROKE DOWN ON ME IT LOCKS UP WHERE YOU CAN NO LONGER MOVE . IT HAPPENED TO ME ON A FREEWAY AND ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR AND IF NOT A DEADLY ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR WILL THEN SHAKE AND IT DOESN'T ALLOW YOU TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY.

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. NEW TRANSMISSION HAS A CONTINUOUS ISSUE WITH A TRANS AXLE LEAK THAT IS "REPAIRED" AT EVERY DEALER OIL CHANGE. VEHICLE NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. TRANS AXLE LEAK REMAINS WHICH MAKES IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHEN THE PUSH BUTTON FUNCTION WAS APPLIED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER NOR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANICTHE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000. UPDATED 08/08/17*LJ *CN

TOOK CAR TO DEALER AS PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES WHEN MY WIFE IS IN PASSENGER SEAT, DEALER SAID NO OUTSTANDING RECALL & NO CODES SHOWED ON THEIR INSPECTION. SAID PASSENGER MUST WEIGH AT LEAST 120 LBS WHICH MY WIFE DOES. THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM IN ANY OTHER OWNED CARS. I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY SMALL WOMEN WHO WEIGH LESS THAN 120 LBS IN THIS COUNTRY. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED OTHERWISE NISSAN COULD BE SUBJECT TO A MAJOR LAWSUIT IF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AS RESULT OF AIRBAG NOT INFLATING.

AFTER DRIVING MY CAR AND PUTTING IN PARK NOTICED GASOLINE SMELL CHECKED UNDER CAR AND NOTICED GAS LEAKING FROM TOP OF FUEL TANK WHERE THE FUEL PUMP SITS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SAID GAS WAS LEAKING FROM O RING ON FUEL PUMP MIND YOU MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 WITH ONLY ABOUT 45000 MILES ON IT. ALSO THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO TANK HADN'T RAN OVER ANYTHING EITHER JUST STARTED LEAKING FUEL OUT OF NOWHERE. *TR

EVER SINCE I FIRST BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW WITH 23 MILES ON IT I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH WHAT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION, BUT I THINK IT'S A SENSOR THAT TELL THE CAR TO SHIFT OR GIVE GAS. MY ENGINE HAS CAME ON A FEW TIMES THEN GONE OFF IT HAD TO DO WITH A SENSORY THAT WAS CAUSING TO MUCH AIR TO LEAK INTO THE GAS LINE , REASON FOR THE STUDDERING WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AT STOP SIGNS . THE CAR OUT OF NO WHERE JUST STOP GIVING GAS AND TAKES A LONG TIME TO SHIFT WHEN I FIRST MENTION THE PROBLEMS TO THE CAR COMPANY THEY SAID THE ENGINE SHIFTS ON ITS OWN SO IT CAN FEEL A LITTLE GREEKY ?? WHAT KINDA ANSWER IS THAT . NEEDLESS TO SAY I HAD ANOTHER ISSUE WITH MOSTUIRE GETTING INTO MY HEADLIGHTS AND CAUSING THE LIGHTING SYSTEMS TO MALFUNCTION. I DON'T SEE THIS CAR LASTING ME ANOTHER 2 YEARS THE WAY THE CAR RUNS . AND I DO IN TOWN DRIVING .

STEERING NOT STABLE. SWAYS BACK AND FORTH ON THE ROAD. TAKE A LOT TO KEEP IT GOING STRAIGHT IN THE LANE ON THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN SINCE PURCHASED. REPLACED TIRES NO BETTER. SAME PROBLEM HIGHWAY OR CITY.

WHEN PULLING FORWARD OR REVERSE A VERY LOUD BANGING AS IF COIL SPRINGS ARE LOOSE AND HITTING METAL ON METAL. DURING NORMAL DRIVING SOUND DISAPPEARS.

ABOUT A WEEK AGO, MY CAR STARTED MAKING NOISES WHEN IDLING, WHICH I THOUGHT LITTLE OF BECAUSE MY CAR ONLY HAS AROUND 76,000 MILES ON IT AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS, THE NOISE BECAME A FULL-ON RATTLE (LIKE AN AMPLIFIED VERSION OF BIKE GEARS GRINDING). WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD AND WILL JERK EVEN HARDER WHEN TURNING. WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING EACH TIME I USE THE CAR, IT HAS NO POWER AND FEELS AS IF IT WANTS TO "PULL BACK" AND HINDER ME FROM MOVING FORWARD. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO TWO MECHANICS AND HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED OVER. BOTH MECHANICS BELIEVE THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING CVC TRANSMISSIONS ON OTHER 2014 SENTRAS, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH EVEN LESS MILEAGE THAN MY OWN CAR. MANY OF THESE SENTRA DRIVERS FELT UNSAFE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES. I TOO, FEEL THAT CONTINUING TO DRIVE MY CAR IS A HAZARD TO ME AND OTHER DRIVERS AS THE FALTERING AND JERKING OF THE ENGINE ARE UNPREDICTABLE WHICH COULD CAUSE A POTENTIAL WRECK. NISSAN SENTRA TRANSMISSIONS FROM 2003-2010 HAVE BEEN RECALLED TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, BUT NOT FOR THE SUCCEEDING YEARS OF THE SAME MODEL. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION HAD A CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AFTER 25 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP AND 82,000 MILES. CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE. MY TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID HE SEES THIS ALL THE TIME WITH NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. NISSAN DECLINED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS 22,000 MILES PAST THE LIMITED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, AND BECAUSE THIS YEAR SENTRA IS NOT PART OF ANY CURRENT TRANSMISSION RECALL. IT IS MY HOPE TO CALL ATTENTION TO A PRODUCT THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE RECALLED, AS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. CONSUMERS WHO BUY NISSAN SENTRAS ARE OFTEN BUDGET-MINDED, AND A REPAIR THAT EXCEEDS $4,000 IS NOT EXPECTED AT 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, NOR SHOULD IT BE.

I RECENTLY HAD THE ONLY RECALL ON MY SENTRA FIXED AT THE DEALER BUT THE AIRBAG OFF SENSOR STILL LIGHTS UP WHEN MY HUSBAND SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. INDICATING IF WE ARE IN A CRASH, THE AIRBAG ON HIS SIDE WILL NOT DEPLOY. LIGHT STAYED ON DURING ENTIRE TRIP. NEVER WENT OFF

I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO NISSAN FEBRUARY 2015. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS YET. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 LAST TIME I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN NOV 28, I GAVE THEM A VIDEO I HAD TAKEN OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATING THE AIRBAG WAS DISABLED ON NOV 26 DURING A TRIP FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO LA. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS DISABLED DURING 120 MILES OF THE TRIP. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN IF I MOVE, LIKE LIFTING YOUR BUTT TO REMOVE YOUR WALLET OUT OF YOUR BACK POCKET, I JUST HAVE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN IT OFF, WAIT FOR A MINUTE AND START IT AGAIN. I POINTED OUT HOW RIDICULOUS THAT STATEMENT WAS. SO WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DRIVE ON A BUMPY ROAD? HE RESPONDED: OK, WE WILL RESET THE SENSOR BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. HE WAS RIGHT IN THAT, SAME EVENING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG GOT DISABLED AGAIN. I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE AIR BAG BEING DISABLED AT MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE CAR HAVE NOW BEEN IN TWICE FOR NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO JUST THAT. *TR

ANOTHER CAR HIT ME IN A FRONTAL COLLISION, WHILE WAITING AT A LIGHT AND THE AIRBAG NEVER CAME OUT.

FIRST ISSUE HAPPENED COUPLE MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT ON 12/27/2014 PURCHASED NEW ONLY 18 MILES ON IT ON 5/10/15 I TOOK IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE BECAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS MAKING A WIERD CLICKING NOISE WHEN I WOULD STOP OR TURN. SECOND ISSUE NOW IS THE TRANSMISSION JERKING AS IF SLIPPING RUNNING OUT OF GAS MY CAR IS STILL IN NEW.CONDITION IS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD IT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD ALL THESE ISSUES MY CAR WAS IN MOTION WGEN IT BEGAN TO STALL ON AN INTERSECTION IT WAS VERY DARK AND DANGEROUS ON RHEIR MULTIPOINT INSPECTION THEY STATED MY FLUID LEVELS WERE GOOD BUT MY TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS NOT.IT TURNED OUT TO BE EMPTY

I NEVER RECEIVED NOTIFICATION THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS CHECKING MY ONLINE ACCOUNT AND CALLED FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME. NISSAN HAS ALL MY NUMBERS, ADDRESS AND TWO EMAILS AND I WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT MY CONCERN IS THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED!!!

MT VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 3 MILES HAS WHEN COMING TO A STOP START TO SHAKE VIGOROUSLY BROUGHT IT TO THE ATTENTION WHEN I HAD MY AC COMPRESSOR REPLACED AT ONLY 50,000 MILES , MIND YOU I DO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ALOT 125 MILES A DAY AND ITS ALL HIGHWAY BUT I ALSO MAINTAIN IT REGULARLY// THE VEHICLE GOING AT 65 MILES PER HOUR THE OTHER DAY STARTED TO HESITATE AND RPMS STARTED TO JUMP HIGHER AND LOSE POWER ON A MAIN HIGHWAY DURING THE AFTERNOON IN SAN ANTONIO WHERE TRAFFIC IS BAD I HAD MY LITTLE GIRL AND THAT LOSS OF ACCELERATION AND JUMP /CLUNK ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET REAR ENDED BY A 18 WHEELER WHICH HONKED AT ME AND SCARED MY LITTLE GIRL// AFTER RESEARCH ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS IN THE SAME REGARD SAME ISSUE RISKING LIFE AND SAFETY DUE TO A FAULT THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT DUE TO RECALL THEY SET FOR 03 - 10 YEARS AND MODELS USING THE CVT TRANSMISSION NOW MY VEHICLE IS A 2014 AND AFTER RESEARCH SEE THAT MANY CONSUMERS ARE PUT IN THE SAME DANGEROUS SITUATION AND HAVE COMPLAINED ONLY FOR IT TO FALL ON DEAF EARS. I AM NOW SCARED TO DRIVE A VEHILCE THAT I STILL OWE ON DUE TO HAVING MY 4 YEAR OLD IN WITH ME

MY TRANSMISSION HAS GONE OUT TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JUNE 2015. IN OCTOBER 2015, MY CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN WHICH THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS ELECTRICAL WIRING FROM MY TAIL LIGHTS TO MY BRAKE. 3 MONTHS LATER, MY CAR HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS. I TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY TELL ME THAT IT'S THE TRANSMISSION AND EVENTUALLY, AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS OF CONVERSING BACK AND FORTH, THEY FINALLY AGREE TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AFTER MY CAR WON'T SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR ON MY WAY HOME FROM SCHOOL, AROUND 10 PM, ON THE BYPASS GOING ABOUT 35MPH ALL BY MYSELF. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY A MONTH FOR THE CAR TO START BEING SYMPTOMATIC, YET AGAIN. I TAKE IT BACK AND DROP IT OFF FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS. THEY CAN'T FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM WITHOUT A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON SO THEY TELL ME THERE'S NOTHING TO DO AND THEY SEND IT BACK TO ME. THIS HAPPENS A FEW TIMES WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. SEVERAL WEEKS GO BY WITH THE CAR STILL BEING SYMPTOMATIC AND NOT SHIFTING GEARS CORRECTLY. THE CAR KEEPS JUMPING AND WON'T DRIVE CORRECTLY SO I FINALLY TAKE IT BACK TO NISSAN, AFTER CALLING ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEM TELLING ME THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE UNTIL THEY SEE A SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON THE CAR FOR IT TO THROW A CODE. TODAY, OCTOBER 3, 2016, I TAKE IT BACK TO COLUMBUS NISSAN AND ABOUT HALFWAY THERE, IT WON'T SHIFT. IT THEN WONT ACCELERATE ONCE I OFF OF THE BYPASS SO I HAD TO LITERALLY ROLL INTO THE PARKING LOT OF THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. THEY THEN TELL ME THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING REALLY BECAUSE THE SERVICE LIGHT ISN'T ON AND THE SERVICE MEN ARE AT LUNCH. TIFFANY, AN EMPLOYEE OF COLUMBUS NISSAN, OFFERS ME A RIDE BACK TO MY APARTMENT AND TO LEAVE ME CAR THERE FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT AFTER LUNCH. THEY LATER CALL ME AND TELL ME IT'S MY TRANSMISSION OUT YET AGAIN. THEY'RE WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THE NISSAN USA BUSINESS.

I AM PART OF A B17 SENTRA (2013-2015) OWNERS PAGE. THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO NEED REPLACEMENT CVT IS OUTRAGEOUS. EXAMPLES INCLUDE ONE NEEDING REPLACEMENT AT 9K MILES, AND A SECOND AT 24K MILES. ANOTHER EXAMPLE IS ONE OWNER NEEDED ONE AT 28K MILES AND ANOTHER AT 52K MILES. THE FAILURE PERCENTAGE IS OUT OF CONTROL AND NISSAN DOES NOTHING TO RECTIFY IT PAST THE SHORT WARRANTY. THESE ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE THIS PREVALENT IN SUCH NEW CARS.

EXTRA BRAKING REQUIRED TO COME TO A STOP - THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE REPORTED FOR THE 2013 VERSA. THE BRAKING REQUIRED MOST TIMES TO COME TO A STOP FROM A UNIFORM SPEED CAN VARY AT TIMES SO THAT SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EFFORT TO STOP THE VEHICLE IS NEEDED. EXAMPLE, ON MY NEIGHBOURHOOD STREET, APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN AT 25MPH, NORMALLY VERY LITTLE BRAKING NEEDS TO BE APPLIED. AT TIMES, WE HAVE NOTICED THAT A LOT MORE EFFORT IS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE EVEN AT SUCH A LOW SPEED. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE 2 MONTHS SINCE WE'VE BOUGHT THE CAR AND WOULD LEAD TO A CRASH IF THE BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND IN A UNIFORM WAY.
