NHTSA Complaint #11405197 — 2017 NISSAN SENTRA

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, NOTICED THE VEHICLE START TO SPORADICALLY JERK. ENGINE RPM WOULD JUMP AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS NON RESPONSIVE AT TIMES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED. PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND HAD NO RESPONSE AT ALL. STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTING TO FAIL. CAR IS A 2017 AND HAS LESS THAN 92000 MILES ON IT. EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDS ON THAT YEAR AT 84000 MILES. WITHOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE THE REPAIR IS AROUND $4000. LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND FOUND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY OR ISSUE A RECALL. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO BE DRIVING AND LOSE ACCELERATOR RESPONSE ALL TOGETHER
