2007 NISSAN SENTRA Engine Problems

I was approaching my driveway in front of my house and my vehicle had smoke eminating from a glove compartment area when I got out of the car and checked underneath the hood the car was on fire I got out just in time there was something wrong there could have been the engine fuel system I just recently had an oil change 2 weeks ago the incident April 2, 2022 I was in fear for my life because I had no signal from the car what was happened I had just recently had an oil change a week and a half before the incident I noticed that flames were starting to rise and massive flames of ire than fumes of smoke and all of a sudden the car started burning and then the exploded destroying the entire car. Fire Department was called Lieutenant Thompson and his staff came out...

Problem is cvt transmission. Transmission main seal leak. Whine, to loss in acceleration and power. At certain speed. Cvt internal belt flapping. Resulted in full shut down of vehicle while on highway. Caused speed control sensor and throttle body sensor to go out which started minor electrical fire in the engine compartment which could have resulted in great bodily injury and possibly hurting others if accident would have and very much could resulted in for sure. Multiple times to mechanic resulting in stress and out of pocket expensive currently with a mechanic now. Nissan cvt transmission...

CAR WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT BEGUN SPUTTERING AND SHAKING AS I ACCELERATED. I DROVE BACK HOME, ABOUT 5 MINUTES, AND OPENED THE HOOD. CAR WAS ON AND PARKED FOR THE VISUAL INSPECTION. MY PARTNER PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO SEE IF I COULD SEE WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE MOTOR SHOOK WHEN IT WAS PUT IN REVERSE. IMMEDIATELY SOMETHING NEAR THE FUEL LINES STARTED TO EMIT SMOKE. IT LOOKED LIKE ALUMINUM FOIL. THE CAR HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS AND GAUGES SEEMED NORMAL. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WENT INSIDE THE HOUSE TO GET MY TOOLS. WHEN I CAME OUT, THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES COMING FROM THE MOTOR. 9-1-1 WAS CALLED AND FIREFIGHTERS PUT OUT THE FIRE IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE FIRE SPREAD RAPIDLY AND THE CAR WAS DESTROYED WHEN THE FIRE WAS FINALLY EXTINGUISHED. *TR

HOW MANY MILES CAN YOU GET OUT OF A CAR NOW DAYS. GUESS MANUFACTURERS AND MAKING THROW ANY CAR AFTER 100,000 MILES.NOW IT JUST SEATING IN MY YARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO DISPLAY THE ACCURATE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK AND THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE CAR TURN ON NORMAL. THEN AFTER A FEW MINUTES ON THE CITY, THE CAR STARTED MAKING A GRINDING NOISE COMING OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR. ALSO, I HAD THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2007 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, SMOKE ENTERED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DRIVER AND TWO PASSENGERS EXITED THE VEHICLE. A FIRE ERUPTED FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, UNDER THE VEHICLE, AND NEAR THE REAR. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT AND A FIRE INSPECTION REPORT WERE FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A YARD. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO RECOMMENDATIONS. THE CONTACT WAS TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO DETERMINE IF THEY MAY BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 183,000.

I WARMED UP MY VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES AND DROVE AS I NORMALLY DO THAN AS I CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND STOPPED. AS I PRESSED MY ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE CAR WAS OFF. I CHECKED THE RPM AND I WAS AT ZERO (0). MY CVT JERKS ME AND PASSENGERS AND IT HESITATES AND TURNS OFF IN REVERSE. THIS CAR WILL CUT OFF REGARDLESS IF IN DRIVE OR REVERSE.THE CVT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE AN INCIDENT OCCURS THAT COULD AFFECT OUR SAFETY ON THE ROAD SOMEONE HELP. PLEASE. NISSAN NEEDS TO RECALL THE FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS THEY WHINE AND OVERHEAT ALOT.MY CVT WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO 10YRS 120,000 MILES.NO MORE NISSANS FOR ME. OR CVT TRANSMISSIONS EVER.

WHILE AT A RED LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN THE ENGINE SPUTTERED, THE RPM'S REVVED UP REALLY HIGH, THEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY CUT OFF. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND, WHO WAS DRIVING, WAS ON A CITY STREET AT THE TIME BUT HAD TO EVENTUALLY CROSS A BRIDGE AND WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS DOING SO. I HAVE A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SCARY SITUATION AND CAUSES EXTREME ANXIETY IN ME KNOWING THAT THE ENGINE COULD CUT OFF AT ANY MOMENT AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A CRASH AND/OR FATALITY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN 114 IN GRAPEVINE, TX HEADING TOWARD SOUTHLAKE, TX. THE ENGINE STUTTERED AND THEN SHUTDOWN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I COASTED TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HOOD. I GOT OUT TO POP THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. WHEN I TRIED TO LIFT THE HOOD FLAMES WERE SHOOTING OUT. I STEPPED BACK AND CALLED 911. WITH IN 3 MINUTES THE CAR WAS ENGULFED AND WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SHOWED UP AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. *TR
