What 638 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Nissan Sentra Sr Turbo

TAKATA RECALL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STALL IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER. IT SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME BUT AS I DROVE LITTLE BIT MORE IT STARTED TO JERK AND I COULD NOT GO OVER 25. I PULLED OVER CUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND TRIED TO PULL OFF AND IT JERKED SOME MORE BEFORE IT PULLED OFF AND THEN I COULD GO ONLY 25. AT EVERY RED LIGHT I HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF AND ON JUST TO GET THE CAR OUT THE ROAD. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP TODAY AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE A ARM AND A LEG SAY MY WARRANTY ENDED AT A 100K AND I GOT THE CAR WITH 37K MILES ON IT. I DONT THINK THAT IS RIGHT. THEY TELL ME I HAD A WARRANTY FOR A 100K MILES BUT WHEN IT TIME TO FIX SOMETHING THE WARRANTY IS UP. I SHOULD STILL HAVE 30K LEFT BEFORE MY WARRANTY GOES OUT. BY THE WAY THIS STARTED ON APRIL 23RD 2018 THIS AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER SHIP ON APRIL 25TH.

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 THIS SECOND INSTANCE, I FEEL THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE VEHICLE.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE RESULTING IN SLOW ACCERATION WITH MAX SPEED RANGING 0-25 MPH. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN VEHICLES, AND WAS COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. MY CAR WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO TROUBLESHOOT TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMED INSPECTION ON OTHER COMPONENTS OF VEHICLE, MADE UNCONFIRMED ACCUSATIONS BASED ON BRAKE WEAR, AND AGE/SEX OF DRIVER. THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AT NISSAN (MANDY) INITIALLY INDICATED EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD, AND THAT SHE ONLY NEEDED THE CVT TEST RESULTS FROM NISSAN TO CONFIRM THAT THE ISSUES FOR MY CVT TRANSMISSION WERE IN ALIGNMENT WITH CVT REPAIR THAT THEY PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH. WHEN COGGIN NISSAN SHARED THE RESULTS WITH MANDY, SHE DECLINED COVERAGE. BEFOREHAND, WHEN I SPOKE TO RAYMOND (SERVICE ADVISOR), I ASKED IS THERE ANYTHING ABOUT THE TEST RESULTS DIFFERED FROM TEST RESULTS OF CVT TRANSMISSIONS COVERED BY NISSAN, AND HIS REPLY WAS 'NO', WHEN I EXPLAINED THIS TO MANDY, AND REQUESTED TO VIEW THE DOCUMENTATION THAT COGGIN NISSAN SHARED WITH HER, SHE DECLINED STATING INFORMATION WAS ONLY TO BE VIEWED BY INTERNALLY. I HAVE A QUESTIONABLE HISTORY WITH THIS DEALERSHIP OVER TWO UNRELATED INCIDENTS THAT SHOULD BE DOCUMENTED IN THEIR SYSTEM. ONE INCIDENT WAS ME TAKING VEHICLE IN FOR A 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT. THEY QUOTED A PRICE, SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED WORK. WHEN PICKING UP VEHICLE, THEY EXPLAINED REAR END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT, BUT THAT THEY DON'T PERFORM REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENTS ON 2013 SENTRAS. I EXPLAINED THE REAR TIRE TREAD WEAR WAS REASON FOR ALIGNMENT. I EXPLAINED THEY NEEDED TO DISCLOSE THAT THEY DON'T ALIGN THEIR OWN VEHICLES PRIOR TO PERFORMING ALIGNMENT SO CONSUMER CAN TAKE VEHICLE TO AN ALIGNMENT SHOP WITH ABILITY TO ALIGN. I DISPUTED CHARGES, AND MANAGEMENT WAIVED. OTHER SCENARIO WAS HAVING A REAR BUMPER COVER PAINTED. PHONE PRICE QUOTE WAS $70 LOWER THAN IN PERSON.

MASTER CYLINDER. ON SATURDAY 1/27/18 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR HOME AFTER MAKING A STOP AND THE BRAKES QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I FINALLY GOT HOME AFTER A STRESSFUL DRIVE. I TOOK MY CAR TO ONE SERVICE CENTER THE NEXT DAY (1/28) AND THEY TOPPED OUT THE FLUIDS BUT FOUND NOTHING ELSE WRONG. I GOT IN THE CAR TO DRIVE HOME AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THUS, ON MONDAY (1/29) I TOOK THE CAR TO A DOWNTOWN SERVICE CENTER (NON-NISSAN) AND THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD THAT ITEM REPLACED AT A COST OF $732. I THEN SENT A LETTER TO NISSAN REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE CAR WAS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND 67000 MILES. NISSAN SAID SINCE I DID NOT BRING IT TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEIR DIAGNOSTICS RUN THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME. HOWEVER, A WEEK OR TWO EARLIER I WAS AT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR A SHIFT LOCK PROBLEM AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS THEN. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND DID RUN DIAGNOSTICS. THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AFTER THE MASTER CYLINDER ISSUE, I RECHECKED THAT REPORT AND IT INDICATED THE BRAKE FLUIDS WERE LOW. I ALSO CHECKED THE INTERNET AND RAN ACROSS SEVERAL REPORTS THAT TALKED ABOUT THIS SAME BRAKING ISSUE. NISSAN HAS REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT SINCE I DID NOT BRING IT TO THEM. HOWEVER, SINCE ITS OUT OF WARRANTY I DO NOT ALWAYS TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP - I USUALLY TAKE IT TO A PLACE CLOSER TO MY WORK.

CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHEN GETTING ON RAMPS ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AND NORMAL ACCELERATION, MY VEHICLE IS NOT ACCELERATING. IT IS DELAYED IN ACCELERATION FROM STOPS OR WHEN NEEDING TO PICK UP SPEED SUCH AS ON A RAMP OR WHEN PASSING. IT IS NOT DRIVING HOW IT SHOULD UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THIS WILL BECOME FATAL IF NOTHING IS DONE BY NISSAN WHO IS AWARE THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE FAILING AND NEEDING REPLACEMENT FAR SOONER THAN THEY SHOULD AND THAT CONSUMERS ARE AWARE OF.

I WENT TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I WAS UNABLE TO DEPLOY THE BRAKES. THE CAR STARTED TO ROLL FORWARD, I THEN TRIED SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE CAR ACCELERATED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND I ENDED UP CRASHING THE CAR.

I HAD TO REPLACE TBE TIE ROD AND STEERING GEAR AT 70,000 MILES IN NOV 2017. I'VE JUST BEEN TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND I AM ONLY AT 76,000 MILES. T AM IN AN ACTIVE BANKRUPTCY SO I CAN'T REPLACE THE CAR BECAUSE THE CAR DEALERSHIP WILL APPROVE ME FOR A LOAN THAT HAS 18 PERCENT INTEREST. THIS IS COST ME A LOT OF STRESS. A LAWSUIT NEEDS TO BE FILED.

NHTSA ODI 11082236

COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH NO WARNING SIGN AT ALL. A FAILURE SO TRAUMATIZING, IT FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND I'M WEARY OF GETTING BEHIND ANOTHER WHEEL. I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITH LITERALLY NO WARNING WHATSOEVER, NO DASH LIGHTS, NO NOISES, JUST BOOM! MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY I THOUGHT I'D JUST BEEN REAR ENDED. SO I'M DRIVING AT 70MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF I-4, AND MY CAR VIOLENTLY DIED. THANK GOD THE MAN BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION, AND HAD THOUGHT I'D JUST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAY I COULD HAVE GOTTEN OVER TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM, I SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY DIED. HOW DOES A TRANSMISSION FAIL IN SUCH A SPECTACULAR FASHION WITH ZERO WARNING? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE NISSAN FINALLY STEPS UP FOR THEIR ERROR AND STOPS SELLING THESE DEATH TRAPS? IS IT ANY COINCIDENCE WARRANTIES ARE BEING DOUBLED ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALL 2003-2010 NISSAN CVT VEHICLES?

I HIT A METAL BARRIER AT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY NOT ONE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I HAVE HAD 2 SURGERIES SIGNIFICANT BRAIN DAMAGE AND MEMORY LOSS. NISSAN WON'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS A PROBLEM. ALSO TRANSMISSION BLEW AT LESS THAN 36000 MILES MOSTLY HIGHWAY

CAR FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD. LOSS OF TRANSMISSION WHILE GOING UP HILL WAS VERY DANGEROUS. IDEALS HIGH AND INTERMITTENT WORKING.

CAR IS JERKING SHIFTING IS NOT HAPPENING. WHILE STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL CAR IS NOT MOVING. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JERKS FORWARD. VERY DANGEROUS. CAR TRANSMISSION IS GOING. NISSAN SAYS NO RECALL. THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE.

NHTSA ODI 11079911

THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND THEN MAKING A LOUD HISSING NOISE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AAA AND THEY CONFIRMED IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. I CONTACTED NISSAN TO SEE IF THEY WOULD HELP PAY FOR THE $3,000 REPAIR AFTER READING THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS. AFTER 12 DAYS THEY DECLINED BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY DID NOT RECALL THE TRANSMISSION. ALL THINGS THEY KNEW PRIOR TO HAVING ME GET A DIAGNOSTIC FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I BELIEVE NISSAN IS KNOWINGLY DEFRAUDING CONSUMERS AND COSTING THEM ADDITIONAL MONEY WHEN THEY KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ASSIST IN PAYING THE REPAIR COST. ALSO, THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS TRANSMISSION, YET THEY REFUSE TO RECALL THE TRANSMISSION. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN AND STOP THIS.

REC'D RECAL RE TRANSMISSION INCLUDED THIS MODEL AND YEAR. TOOK CAR TO REPARAIR PLACE. THEY TOK LETTER AND SAID THEY WOULD TAKE OF IT. WHEN I PICKED IT UP NEXT DAY, I QUESTIONED IT BECAUSE IT SEEMED TOO QUICK A FIX.

HAD TO ROLL BACK AND PARK IN SOMEONE'S DRIVEWAY. GOT IT TOWED TO SERVICE PLACE. NOW, THEY'RE SAYING NO SUCH RECALL AND IT WILL COST MR 0VER $4,000.00 TO FIX.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AFTER 69K MILES. THE CONED SHAPED PULLEY DOES NOT SEEM TO BE TRAVERSING PROPERLY TO CHANGE DRIVE RATIOS. SEEMS TO SKIP AND SHUTTER SOMETIMES CAUSING ISSUES IN PARKING LOTS THAT SOULD BE DANGEROUS. FOR EXAMPLE YOU MAY PUSH THE PETAL AND VERY LITTLE HAPPENS PUSH A LITTLE MORE AND IT SNAPS IN AND GOES CRAZY.

THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD AND INCORRECTLY AND NOT ENGAGING IN GEAR, RESULTING IN THE CAR DRIVING AT HIGH RPMS, AND BELT SLIPPING CONSTANTLY. I HAD MY TCM REPROGRAMED OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE NISSAN WOULDN'T DO IT, SAID MY VIN DIDN'T FALL IN THE RANGE OF RECALLS ON THAT PROBLEM. THE TCM WAS REPROGRAMMED AND NOW MY CAR IS WORSE. I AM A SINGLE MOM OR 2, WORKING 2 JOBS 7 DAYS A WEEK. I STILL OWE $11K ON MY CAR AND I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT, NOR DO I HAVE $4500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. IF YOU LOOK ONLINE THERE IS FORUM AFTER FORUM OF THIS KNOWN PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS UNWILLING TO ASSIST CUSTOMERS AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE. I LOVE MY CAR AND I AM WILLING TO ACCEPT A REBUILT TRANSMISSION BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP ME AT ALL. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THIS A RECALL? IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON MANY 2013 - 2014 NISSAN SENTRA'S THAT AROUND 75K - 100K MILES THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTS TO HAVE ISSUES, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MINE. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MILES AN HOUR THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE AND CALL FOR AAA. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED TO THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY ASKED IF THE CAR STILL TURNED ON AND IF SO, DID IT GO INTO GEAR. IT DID SO I DROVE IT TO THEM 7 MILES AWAY. ONCE I GOT TO 30 MPH, THE RPM'S WENT TO 4 AND WOULD NOT DECREASE UNTIL THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON TO CETE THE DRIVE. THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH INTERNAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO NISSAN 3 TIMES PRIOR AND THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A CVT. ONCE THE CAR REACHED OVER 60K AND WAS OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE THEY LET ME KNOW IT WOULD BE $4,300 TO FIX. I OPENED A CASE AND NISSAN STATES BECAUSE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED POST WARRANTY THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. I EXPLAINED I HAVE THE DOCUMENTATIOM PROVING I WAS IN THERE PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRING AND THE WOMEN SAID THAT DOESN'T MATTER, THE OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS POST WARRANTY ELIGIBILITY GUIDELINES.

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. HAD PROBLEMS MOVING THE SENTRA OVER TO BREAKDOWN LANE DUE TRAFFIC AND THE SUDDEN DE-ACCELERATION. THE SENTRA REQUIRED TOWING 60 MILES BACK TO OUR LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP AT OUR, THE OWNERS, EXPENSE. THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED, NOTING THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON WITH THE SENTRA. OUR 2013 SENTRA HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (CVT) AND LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE COST TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
