2013 Nissan Sentra Power Train

AN ENGINEER SAID THAT CAR HAD BEEN OVERHEATING IN THE TRANSMISSION FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. MY SERVICE TEAM DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IT. THE CAR FAILED AT 89,000 MILES AND A MONTH BEFORE I OWNED IT 3 YEARS. THE ENGINEER SAID THAT EVERY 50000 MILES THE 2013 SENTRA NEEDS A $4000 PLUS NEW TRANSMISSION. I TURNED THE CAR ON AFTER PARKING AND WHILE TURNING THE CAR EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCERATE AT ALL AND MADE CHUNKING NOISES. I PARKED THE CAR AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THE CAR HAD TWO MAJOR CHECKUPS AT THE DEALERSHIP JULY-AUGUST AND WAS ASSURED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ENGINEER SAID IT HAD BEEN OVERHEATING DURING THE TIME OF THE MAJOR CHECK UP. NISSAN TECH AT SERVICE CENTER SWORE MY CAR WAS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY 2013 NISSAN HAS 75,000 HIGHWAY MILES. I'VE HAD NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR UNTIL CHRISTMAS EVE. DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN MY CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH, IT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY PICK UP. I PULLED INTO THE CLOSEST NISSAN DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT I HAD TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND THAT MY WARRANTY HAD JUST RAN OUT..I AM LOOKING INTO THIS A BIT MORE BECAUSE THIS TRANSMISSION IS NOT USED IN THE 2014 OR 15 MODEL. *TR

SECOND FAILED TRANSMISSION!!!!! DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN AND THE TRANSMISSION SLAMMED INTO LOW GEAR. THIS TIME MY FATHER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST BLOWN TRANSMISSION WAS AT 20K MILES THIS ONE FAILED AT 9K MILES. ODOMETER READING 29K. THIS IS RIDICULOUS, MY FAMILY AND I ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. WILL BE FILLING A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN AS WELL. EVEN WITH A WARRANTY THIS CAR IS ON TRANSMISSION #3. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES??? AM I LEFT WITH A DEATH TRAP WAITING FOR THE NEXT TRANSMISSION TO SEIZE UP ON THE FREEWAY AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

THIS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, TRANSMISSION SLAMMED INTO LOW GEAR GOING AT 65 MPH. PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY AND LUCKILY DUARTE NISSAN IN CALIFORNIA WAS LESS THEN A MILE AWAY. THE CAR BARELY MADE IT. THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BUT THIS WAS AT ONLY 20K MILES. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO A FEW VEHICLES, BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS THAT MY CAR SLAMMED INTO LOW GEAR ON THE FREEWAY. IT SCARED MYSELF AND MY FAMILY.

MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. I CALLED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER SHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME THAT HE SEES THIS ISSUE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. I HAVE 57,000 MILES ON THE CAR SO IT IS NO LONGER UNDER THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. IT IS STILL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, BUT HE SAID THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. HE QUOTED ME $199.00 FOR THE LABOR AND $338.13 FOR THE PART (SHIFTER ASSEMBLY).

SLIPPING TRANSMISSION ON TAKEOFF AND DURING ANY TYPE OF ACCELERATION. WAS ABOUT CREAMED BY A TRUCK ON 301 TURNING INTO HAMPTON OAKS PARKWAY IN TAMPA FL. NO ACCIDENT, BUT ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION ENTER A DEFAULT STATE WHERE CAR WOULDN'T ACCELERATE OVER 50MPH. DEALER HASN'T FIXED AND IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AUTOWAY NISSAN OF BRANDON.

THE CAR WHEN IS IN A COMPLETE STOP, MAKES A LAUD SOUND. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO COME OUT OF GEAR. THE SHIFTER GET LOCK, IT GETS REALLY HARD TO CHANGE THE GEARS FROM (P TO D) IS HAS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIME MORE THAN 30 TIMES. I WENT TO PLANET NISSAN ON CENTENNIAL BLVD, LAS VEGAS NV, THE FIRST TIME LATE DECEMBER I SHOW THE WORKER. I SHOW HIM A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, THE VIDEO YOU CAN HEAR AND SEE WHEN THE DRIVE HANDLE GETS STUCK OR LOCK. HE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR SHOULD NOT MAKE THAT SOUND, AND HE ORDER THE PART FOR IT (THE SHIFTER).HE SAID YES AND HE SCHEDULE A APPOINTMENT FOR 1/21/15 8:00. WHEN I PICK MY CAR UP,I WENT HOME AND PARK MY CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY IT MADE THE SOUND AGAIN, THEN I PARK THE CAR IN THE STREET, AND THEN MADE THE SOUND AGAIN AND THE DRIVE HANDLE GOT LOCK. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TEST DRIVE IT WITH THE WORKER AND HE SAID IT WAS NORMAL. THAT ALL CARS MAKE THAT SOUND WHEN THEY ARE PARK IN A HILL. I TOLD HIM MY DRIVEWAY IS NOT A HILL AND THE STREET WHERE I PARK MY CAR EVERYDAY IS NOT A HILL, WHERE I PARK AT WORK IS NOT A HILL, I WAS UNHAPPY AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE THE CAR FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE A VISIBLE PROBLEM OR THEY NEVER FOUND A PROBLEM WHEN THEY REPLACE THE SHIFTER AND VERIFIED THE FIX. MY SISTER HAS THE SAME CAR JUST 2014 ONE YEAR DIFFERENCE AND SHE PARKS HER CAR IN THE DRIVE WAY ALL THE TIME AND IS FINE. I FELL LIKE IS THE TRANSMISSION OR GEARS I DON'T KNOW. MY CAR IS IN THE WARRANTY I EVEN PAY EXTRA 1 YEAR WARRANTY. THIS PEOPLE JUST GIVE ME THE TURN AROUND AND THEY DON'T WANT TO CHECK MY CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, WHY? WHY? ARE THEY NOT FIXING THIS PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO? I KNOW THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP ME. MY CAR HAS ONLY 13752 MILES. PLEASE HELP WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

PURCHASED THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2013, DRIVING THE HIGHWAY, AS WE EXIT THE HIGHWAY, WE HAD TO STOP FOR THE RED LIGHT, ONCE THE LIGHT CHANGE TO GREEN, HIT THE GREEN PEDAL AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO THINK QUICKLY SO I SHUT CAR OFF, THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THERE WAS NO GET UP AND GO. THE CAR CREPT VERY SLOWLY. WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT ACROSS THE ROAD TO THE GAS STATION, TURNED THE CAR OFF ALLOWED IT TO SET FOR 15 MINUTES TURNED CAR BACK ON STILL WAS DRIVING AT LESS THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR. CAR WAS DONE, THERE WAS A HOTEL THE STREET FROM THE GAS STATION WAS ABLE TO PUSH IT OVER THERE. KNEW WE HAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. CALLED TRIP A TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO FAULKNER NISSAN ON PAXTON ST. IN HARRISBURG PA SINCE IT WAS AFTER 5PM ON A SATURDAY, THEY WERE CLOSED, AND CLOSED ALL DAY ON SUNDAY. HAD TO GET A CAB TO THE HARRISBURG AIRPORT TO GET A RENTAL CAR, NO WAY TO GET BACK HOME OR TO WORK. PAID 355.00 FOR A 7 DAY RENTAL. RECEIVED A CALLED FROM FAULKNER NISSAN MONDAY AFTER HAVING A SERVICE TECHNICIAN CHECK IT, HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION DIED. BRAND NEW CAR, FAULKNER WANTS TO REPLACE IT WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION, QUESTIONS IS WILL THAT ONE BREAK DOWN ON ME AS WELL. TODAY IS WEDNESDAY, JULY 23RD, 2014, STILL NO WORD ON THE STATUS OF CAR. *TR

I WAS WAITING AT A RED LIGHT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND LOST POWER. IT DID NOT TURN COMPLETELY OFF BUT IT WOULD NOT DRIVE. I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON TO AVOID BEING REAR ENDED BY THE VEHICLE DIRECTLY BEHIND ME THAT WAS ALSO MAKING A LEFT TURN. I OWNED THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 24 HOURS AT THAT POINT. IT ONLY HAD 152 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE DEALERSHIP SENT A TOW. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT THE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN CAN SELL A CAR THAT ISN'T PROPERLY PROGRAMMED? WHY WASN'T THE PROGRAMMING CHECKED PRIOR TO ME DRIVING IT OFF THE LOT? I WILL DRIVE IT FOR A FEW DAYS TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR
