2013 NISSAN SENTRA Engine Problems

It's slipping in the transmission

Feb 26th, 2024 i drove my car for the first time since having surgery on Jan. 11, 2024. I was going about 35 mph when extremely fast the car radio turned off it felt as if the engine was also turned off but within a blink of your eye the car was turned back on , all by itself, a tiny jerk, nothing major. I instantly looked at the temp gauge, made sure the key was in ignition correctly. There was nothing to signal a problem. The next day i didnt leave my home. On Feb. 28, 2024 i drove the car about 7 miles and it did this same glitch twice .Again all gauges read normal, i got out of the car this time popped the hood. No smoke , no burning smell or any smell at all. I checked the fluids, the belt, the battery connections everything was...

I was driving down the road and all of a sudden the car started to sputter and I couldn't accelerate. Whenever I came to a stop it jerked after a minute of the RPM just revving, it finally shifted and lunged forward. I think the transmission went bad. Made it home parked it and I've been too concerned to drive it since.

Code P0101 came on, service Bulletin from NHTSA.gov was done. Car came back worst. Engine stalled in the middle of the street. It wouldn’t turn on, we had to push it to get it out of the street. Car will accelerate on its own when turn on. Sometimes car will accelerate when put on Reverse on its own….. RPMs will be at 7 and 8 when going 45MPH. I notice this has been an issue for Nissan Sentras 2013-2015 based on research all over the internet. People have replaced Thottle body, air mass flow sensor, break sensors, fuel intake, fuses. Vehicle isn’t safe to be driving in street, may caused an accident, even mechanic said I shouldn’t be driving the car because it isn’t safe. We already made a complaint with NHTSA, DMV for financial Help and nothing. Help is really needed.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, SLOW TO ACCELERATE CVT IS ACTING UP

I called my home Nissan yesterday to get the information about my recalls on my car that I was not aware of after the State Troopers helped me get my cat to a safe location. I was told that there are recalls on the car (and was never notified) I called where it was originally bought from a Nissan Dealership and they gave me several recall codes as I was stranded in the freezing cold with my babies in the car. There are several recalls on my car (P1-1,P1-2, and P1-5,2, P1-8.) The car went from 1RPM and shot up to 8, and down to 0 and the car would not drive after that unless it was less than 15MPH. Anything over 15-20 the car would go from 1RPM back to 8, and shoot down to 0 and jerk the car forward and backwards. I was told it was only...

transmission problems that don't show up on diagnostic.. it shows up as air sensor problem. That could cost a lot of money if you listen to it...by keep trying to fix the air sensor that has no problem so you will go to auto machines and dealership and they don't know why and keep tell you to fix this or that. The real problem is the transmission. the system fails by not tell you the real problem and have a malfunctioned transmission with the the wiring inside.

I'm driving on Freeway an aproximate speed of 60' 65mph when my car begins to shake and losses power I hit the Gas and doesn't respond I have cars all over me at higher speeds I'm trying to merge to slow lane but my car doesn't do anything I put on my emergency lights turn off my car reignite it turns on but it feels like it skips speeds shaky and I take it home at a speed of 20/ 40" I'm not able to take it higher the motor sounds forced.

Ever since I first purchased the car it wants to die and it seems like it doesn't want to go when I press the gas. It does this when I stop or when I press the gas.

Transmission

WAS DRIVING TO WORK BUSY ROAD CAR BASICALLY SHUT DOWN TO LIMP MODE COULD NOT ACCELERATE VERY CLOSE CALL TWO CARS NEARLY SIDE SWIPED ME HAD TO CREEP AT 2MPH TO CURB. CALLED TOW TRUCK TOOK VEHICLE HOME WHERE IT SAT PROCEEDED TO TRY AND FIX CAR OVERTIME. HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME SINCE.

I purchased this car in 2018 with 30k miles. In 2020 I had to replace the transmission. Now 2022 and I have to replace the transmission again. The car is decelerating and sputtering at times. But it’s not covered? How does a car have three transmissions within such a short time under 120k miles?

Problem with transmission slipping

Perdi mi trabajo porque el carro se descompuso

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

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving at 45 mph when the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer who inspected the vehicle and found no issue and could turn off the warning light, however, after a few days, the warning light illuminated again. While driving at undisclosed speed, the contact was hit head-on by another vehicle causing damage to the front driver side of the vehicle. The air bag did not deploy. There was medical treatment at the scene. There was no one injured, however, the contact was unconscious for a minute and had some pain in their back but did not go to the hospital. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent body shop who did some repairs to the front driver side of the vehicle, and also inspected the vehicle...

THE VEHICLE HESITATES SIGNIFICANTLY WHEN ACCCELERATING... AXTS LIKE IT DOESN'T SHIFT OUT RIGHT.... AND BOGS DOWN WHEN ACCELERATING AT NORMAL SPEEDS.

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

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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...

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

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ON ITS OWN. ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE ON ITS OWN. GEAR NOT FULLY GRABBING.

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...

"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.

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...

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.

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

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.

'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.

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

TAKATA RECALL 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...

TRANSMISSSION IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY IT STICKS AND STOP. OUR CAR HAS. 44,000 MILES ON IT. IT SOMETIME WILL NOT GO FORWARD
