CVT problem stopped on highway with kids in car put our life at risk called you all about the extended warranty or help fixing transmission. I was told it’s nothing you all can do because the warranty was expired but there’s a class action lawsuit saying thousands of people are having the same specific problem

The CVT transmission on this Nissan sentra vehicle failed at 100,000 miles. Had it failed before 84,000 miles it would have been covered under a warranty. The VIN shows this is a Nissan vehicle that had a known defective CVT transmission. Is there any way I can get repairs paid for by Nissan even though this transmission lasted longer than most of these defective CVT transmissions due to good maintainance?

As I was driving on the interstate, traffic came to a complete stop. When the traffic resumed, approximately 2-3 minutes later, I took my foot off the brake to press the gas pedal and vehicle would not drive. I tried shifting the gears to see if the vehicle was stuck in gear, it was not. My vehicle came to a complete halt in a "kill zone" area of the interstate without any mechanical malfunction warning and this is unsatisfactory. My transmission was replaced in 2020 because of a recall issue and now not even 5 years later, I am having issues with the same transmission. The dealer informed me that the CVT Transmissions on my model and others of the same year, are no good. They have several other vehicles waiting for the same repair with the same issues. I truly believe this issue could potentially lead to a life-or-death...

Purchased vehicle from car dealership as is. In 1.5 weeks the CVT transmission went bad

2014 Nissan Sentra. Transmission began inexplicably slipping and failed within a month. 120k miles. Very lightly driven, relatively low mileage car, driven for 2 years by our [XXX] daughter. I see there were relatively widespread recalls on various Nissan Sentra CVT transmissions in this time frame and our VIN isn't included but this is definitely a manufacturer problem. She ended up stuck in the middle of a major intersection unable to move, engine running but no drivetrain, had to call 911 for help. Police pushed her out of the way. Emotionally traumatic situation of course. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Began to have transmission issues several years ago, slipping and eventually could not even accelerate at all. Had to have a full replacement done in February 2023. Only driven 13,000 miles since replacement and it is slipping and failing again. No major signals or warnings prior to the slipping beginning again. Have had two different shops inspect and confirm transmission is the issue again.

I was driving down the highway and my vehicle all of a sudden started sputtering. The speed dropped quickly as a car almost rear ended me. Then it went back to normal so I continued driving and then it did it again and stopped completely. There’s no check engine light on or any other warnings. Had the vehicle towed to Firestone and they told me it is the transmission. They said I should call Nissan dealership because my model and year is known for this problem and should be a recall. So I call Nissan and they said yes there is some recalls for that year and model but my vin number isn’t on recall list. That doesn’t make since to me. Are they installing different transmissions in the same year and model?

On December 23rd, my 2014 Nissan Sentra lost all acceleration power while driving. The car was then towed to a nearby independent service center where they discovered a faulty transmission. I was made aware of the CVT Transmission recall by Nissan and I believe this is the issue with my car. I would like to have my car inspected by an authorized Nissan dealership so that the proper actions can be taken to repair all malfunctions.

CVT failure. When putting the vehicle in gear, or idling while in gear, engine stalls. When this occurs on roadways, the car may or may not be drivable and puts the occupants of the vehicle as well as other motorists at risk. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. This does not appear to be a wear issue, the vehicle has low mileage and has been properly maintained. There are no warning messages or dashboard indicator lights suggesting a problem.

Defective component is the CVT Transmission. Vehicle involuntary non shifting, and stalling. Component was inspected by independent service center. Vehicle has been inspected by deale of any other person besides independent service center. n No system indicator or previous warning was given.

I've gone to the Nissan center in Antioch to have the transmission fixed due to a failure on the freeway. Cars Rpms went up and my foot was pressed down on the accelerator. The Center said they fixed it and I shouldn't have issues. 4 years later I'm starting to have the same issues.

I was driving to work, rpm’s suddenly started to surge. Pulled up to a stop light to get off the road and vehicle stopped in the middle of the intersection and would not move except in reverse. Other vehicles(semis) had to brake hard and go around me. Called Nissan and they said they couldn’t do anything since it is at 120k miles and I feel they are 100% liable since there was a class action for this type of repair.

Car slips and jerks when accelerating at any speed as low as 10 mph. Check engine light came on, code is transmission failure. The code came on before routine maintenance was required. The car was not fixed and should have not had this issue happen.

Hello I was driving on the highway yesterday when my transmission failed. The car stopped accelerating and would not increase speed despite my foot being on the gas. I was hit several times before navigating to the median. If not for me being calm under pressure my life and the lives of other motorists were at risk. This is unacceptable.

Transmission (CVT) seems to be slipping between or not wanting to change gears. The car will shake, judder, stall during acceleration. If I needed to accelerate suddenly, The car would stall and judder potentially causing an accident. I have a service appointment scheduled with a dealer to investigate. The vehicle has NOT been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There there no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The issue first appeared 3/23/23

Slips when accerating

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.

While driving RPM needle started going up and down and car stopped accelerating. Had car towed to repair shop to be told the transmission is bad. This could easily have caused an accident. Nissan needs to issue a recall and replace these. All the previous complaints shows an obvious problem.

While driving on the highway and when I try to accelerate in my Nissan Sentra, I've noticed that my transmission was starting to jerk. Because of this, I took my Nissan Sentra to a Nissan service center to get it inspected. The mechanic informed me that my transmission is faulty. I purchased my car in 2014 and only have 68,000 miles on it so I was shocked that my transmission is already having issues. Once I started to research Nissan Sentra CVT transmissions online, I noticed that there were numerous complainants from many consumers regarding this CVT transmission. I was told by the mechanic that I had to replace and fully pay for the transmission which costs $6,500 and Nissan Corporate was not going to help in anyway. This is unacceptable that Nissan is selling cars with faulty parts knowing that they will have to be repaired or replaced sooner...

When driving one day my car began to shift into higher and lower gears on its own. I began experiencing my car shifting and losing power randomly while driving. I brought my car to a nissan dealer and was informed that my car was one of many with a faulty CVT Transmission. My car is 6 months and 4,000 miles past the warranty so they cant help me, but im hoping you can help others before someone is killed by their defective car.

Subject: 2014 NISSAN SENTRA TRANSMISSION Nissan has not recalled the 2014 Nissan Sentra. there are thousands of complaints online and at dealers. My warranty has expired last August 2021 and I only have 53354 milage. The dealer quoted me 4k to fix. I called Nissan Corporate and they said they would cover half of cost. This car is not safe to drive it changes speeds without notice and doesn't accelerate. It goes from 65mph to 45mph. This is dangerous on the highway. The dealer and corporate are aware of the danger. Confused at why would I have to pay a dime to fix if they know there are issues with the transmission.

2014 Sentra with 99000 miles. Car would have trouble going forward until reached 25 miles an hour then would excelerate until you got to about 55 and then decelerate to about 20 miles an hour. Almost got hit on major highway because of this. Sent car to garage and after diagnosis had transmission replace. $5200 what is nissan doing about this..nothing. Someone could have been seriously injured!!!

Car would shake and stutter in the middle of acceleration. After a stop, my car would hold back and jump before it accelerated again. The RPM meter would also shoot up and the car would begin to pull in the middle of the freeway. Very unsafe.

I first had an issue with my transmission in 2016, maybe a year after purchasing, at 72k miles. I was driving on the interstate at 75/80mph when suddenly my car decelerated rapidly, with a large tractor trailer directly behind me. I veered off the interstate, onto the shoulder, with the tractor trailer barely missing me. My 11 year old son was also with me. After that, I’d occasionally have issues with my car not wanting to accelerate at all. I got stuck a few times in the roadway, until it would suddenly work again 20-30 minutes later after sitting. My next long trip was a 3 hour trip from home several months later. My transmission died, while driving, at about 45mph. I couldn’t make it back home and had to have it towed. It was replaced, and I’m having new issues now, which I’ll put in a second report. What...

This is 4 years after my first transmission died and was replaced. I couldn’t keep my car speed up in evening traffic, at 65mph, and my RPM’s began to jump back and forth, never steadying. My car jerked so badly I was struggling to control it and several cars had to pass me, going into the lane to the left of me. I had to drive it one more day, tonight, and after 60 minutes of driving, at 70mph on the interstate, when 3/4 of the way home, it began violently jerking again and RPM’s were jumping uncontrollably. Again, I struggled to control the vehicle and had to decelerate by removing my foot from the gas pedal. I had to put my emergency lights on, so other vehicles would hopefully go around me. Almost home, I could barely accelerate after stopping for a red light, then my car dramatically slowed...

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle started to rev independently; however, while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to drive to his residence.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.

CVT transmission has never been right since the car was nearly new. Shifting was erratic and would slip as it shifted to a higher gear, twice the car lost speed on the highway, motor running and RPM's revving indicating a transmission failure. We had it in to be checked under warranty twice (under 55,000 miles). All they would do is a software upgrade and said there was nothing wrong with it. The problems got worse and we took it to another dealer. They dropped the pan and "checked" for metal shavings. New fluid added and sent on our way again, saying nothing is wrong, that this is normal for a CVT transmission. Obviously no one was going to fix or replace it and all we could do was to continue to drive the vehicle. Now the transmission has failed completely. RPM's jumping up and down, car jerking, loss of power,...

FIRENo INJURIES0 DEATHS0 The transmission slipping. I would press the gas to try and get the car to move but it would drag The RPM’s kept jumping back and forth causing the car to shake . After making it back my check engine light came on and the car wouldn’t back in once I finally got it home

The transmission in my car kept slipping. I would press the gas to try and get the car to accelerate but it would not. The RPM’s kept jumping back and forth causing the car to stutter. After letting it sit for a while it stuttered all the way home. After making it back my check engine light came on and the car would no longer move.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON WENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED. A CODE OF P17F0 CAME UP. IT'S A CVT/TRANSMISSION ISSUE. MY CAR WON'T ACCELERATE UPON HITTING THE GAS AND IT JERKS AND SHUDDERS ONCE I GAIN SOME SPEED. RPMS JUMP. AT TIMES MY CAR SEEMS TO STALL. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT IN WEEK. BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET ESTIMATES ON HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO FIX. I ONLY TAKE THIS VEHICLE TO AND FROM WORK ON REGULAR STREETS. IT'S ONLY A 15 MINUTE DRIVE.

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....
