TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO 60 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT FELT AS IF THE GEAR SHIFTED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAND PRAIRIE FORD (972-975-9621, LOCATED AT 701 E PALACE PKWY, GRAND PRAIRIE, TX 75050) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT SOMETHING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

TRANSMISSION MAKES LOUD NOISE, DEALER SAYS IT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. VEHICULE HAS 61,000 MILES. IT IS STANDARD. IT STARTS ESPORADICALLY IN MOVEMENT BUT CONTINUES WHEN STOPPED. THEN GOES AWAY AND COMES BACK. SOUNDS LIKE A CAN OF CRACKERS

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE BETWEEN SHIFTING GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STAND ATILL. THIS HAPPENED WHEN MY CAR HAD ABOUT 89,000 MILES. TOOK IT IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE TO BE THE TRANSMISSION. MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT NISSAN SENTRA CVT TRANSMISSION IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

ONE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME, SPEED WAS @ ABOUT 40 MPH. TOTAL LOST OF POWER, PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOT GO FASTER THAT 5 TO 10 MPH. MADE IT TO THE GAS STATION, HAD IT TOAD TO MY HOME. NEXT DAY, WHEN I TURNED IT ON, IT WAS MAKING A STRANGE WHINING NOISE, DROVE IT 70 MILES TOTAL. @ THE RED LIGHT, TOTAL POWER LOSS AGAIN. THE SAME SCENARIO TRYING TO MAKE IT BACK HOME, ONLY 2 MILES AWAY. TOOK IT OT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE CVT ALONG /WTHE BATTERY/SERPENTINE BELT AND ONE MOTOR MOUNT. MY COMMUTE IS 144 MILES M-F. USED THE CAR ONLY ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAY, TO BREAK-IN THE NEW CVT. NOTICED DRIVING HOME THE SAME EXACT ISSUES BEFORE THE TOTAL FAILURE, HESITATION WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ACCELERATE, NOISE COMING OFF THE LEFT FRONT SIDE, SOMETHING TRYING TO ENGAGE AND SLIPPING, THEN FINALLY ENGAGING. NOTICED AGAIN WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO. IT IS CURRENTLY @ THE DEALERSHIP TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE THE RECEIPT FOR THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE @ THE TIME OF THE CVT FAILURE HAD ONLY 80,000 + MILES.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA (ONLY 50K MILES ON IT) SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND DRIVE THE ENGINE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT AND AS IT WAS EXPECTED, THE CVT TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN.

NHTSA ODI 11191193

AS WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SPEED STARTED TO REDUCE ON ITS OWN. THERE WAS SOME VIBRETIONS.AS WE OUSHED IN AND WENT UP A HILL ON THE STREET, THE CAR SLOWED TO A HALT. THE CAR CUT OFF 3 TIMES. IT WOULD ALLOW A START, BUT NO GEAR CHANGES. THEN, IT WOULDNT START. HAD TO GET A TRANSMISSION AS TORQUE CONVERTER AND OTHER WERE OUT.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CAUSES JERKING, SHAKING, SHIFT FAILURE AND OTHER PROBLEMS.

NHTSA ODI 11189817

WAS NOT AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION RECALLS AND WE NEED ASSISTANCE OVER 120K MILES COULD THE RECALL STILL APPLY

NHTSA ODI 11185539

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD NOT NOT GO INTO THIRD GEAR. THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND I HAD LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER. I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE NO LIGHTS TURNED ON LETTING ME KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. HAD TO GET TOWED AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR ANYTHING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. NISSAN REALLY SCREWED PEOPLE ON THIS

NHTSA ODI 11182737

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR WORK 9 MONTHS AGO, THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS OUT, AND NISSAN SAID THEY ARE NOT COVERING THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH LAWSUITS, AND EXTENDED WARRANTYS. NISSAN SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALREADY REPLACED AT 16K MILES AND THEY WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILED THE CAR JERKS, AND SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING

NHTSA ODI 11181629

MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SUDDEN SHAKING AND ISSUES WITH RPM'S, IT WONT CHANGE GEARS AND ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. ESPECIALLY WHEN IM AT A STOPLIGHT, IT WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT MAKES A WIREY SOUND AND IT ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT. I CAN BARELY GO PAST 60 MPH AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES.

NHTSA ODI 11180611

AS I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SUDDEN JERKINESS AND ISSUES WITH RPM'S, ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AS WELL AS AN UNWILLINGNESS TO CHANGE GEARS. (THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC). AS I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE, NISSAN HAS ISSUED A RECALL / EXTENDED WARRANTY 7YEAR 100,000 MILE FOR NISSANS THAT HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION HOWEVER NOT ALL 2014 NISSAN SENTRA'S WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION WERE INCLUDED.

MY CAR IS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA AND IS SLIPPING DO TO PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION ALSO VIBRATES ALOT SHAKES TO MUCH WHEN I ACCELERATE IT FEELS LIKE ITS LOOSING POWER.

THE PART OF MY SEATBELT THAT CONNECTS TO THE DOOR KEEPS COMING APART.

NHTSA ODI 11171499

MY COMPLAINT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH THIS VEHICLE....A FAULTY TRANSMISSION! I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN ISN'T REPLACING THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT! OF COURSE AS WE ARE JUST OUT OF THE WARRANTY, IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM! MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO GET OFF SINCE THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE OVER 40MPH. THE RMP GAUGE WOULD GO BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T! IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO KNOW THAT NISSAN ISN'T BEING HELD MORE ACCOUNTABLE FOR SUCH A MASSIVE ERROR IN THEIR MANUFACTURING.

CAR IS LESS THEN 100K MILES TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPS WORKING LEAVING US STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC DURING A TURN.

NHTSA ODI 11162084

CAR STARTED JERKING SO TOOK IT IN TO GET SERVICE , A TRANSMISSION SERVICE WAS DONE BUT MECHANIC MADE US AWARE THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN SENTRA FROM 2013-2016 AND THAT NISSAN HAVE NOT DONE NOTHING YET . CAR IS GETTING WORST AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE A 4K TRANSMISSION AS I AM A FULL TIME STUDENT

NHTSA ODI 11161827

OUR CVT TRANSMISSION JUST LET GO ON A 2014 SENTRA SR WITH 89,000. IT WAS SLIPPING, BUCKING AND STALLING THE CAR. TOWED IT TO THE DEALER SAID THE COST WOULD BE $2200 TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND A EXHAUST TIMING SOLENOID. IF THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, (I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2200) IT WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $4300. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE BUT THEY WERE OF NO HELP. THEY SAID IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY DIDN'T EVEN OFFER TO PAY 50%. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS IS OUR 5TH NISSAN. NEVER WILL I BUY A NISSAN VEHICLE.

NHTSA ODI 11161275

TRANSMISSION FAILURE VEHICLE STALLED OUT GOING DOWN THE ROAD, COULD NOT MOVE OFF ROAD LEFT HELPLESS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. 75,486 MILES GETS SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP ONLY NEVER ONCE WAS DID THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMEND A TRANSMISSION SERVICE.

SENSOR/WARNING/CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS APPEAR TO NOT WORK. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SHIFT ERRATICALLY, THE CAR WOULD THEN BARELY MOVE WHEN PRESSING GAS. AFTER TRYING TO ACCELERATE MORE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS SUCH AS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT ALL WHICH MADE ME BELIEVE THERE WAS NOTHING SERIOUS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN IT WAS INSPECTED BY NISSAN TECHNICIANS, THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IF THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WRONG CAUSE ME SERIOUS POTENTIAL DANGER AS I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY, UNABLE TO MOVE. BECAUSE THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION, THIS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX THE ISSUE EARLY ON SO THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED.

NHTSA ODI 11154114

WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT DID NOT TURN OFF WHILE I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE CAR WITH THEIR SEATBELT ON. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR MONTHS AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED.
