2013 Nissan Sentra Power Train

BOUGHT 2013 NISSAN SENTRA USED AT 25,000 MILES. NO ISSUES OR PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION UNTIL AROUND 89,000 WHEN CAR BEGAN TO JERK WHILE TRYING TO CHANGE GEARS AND THEN PROGRESSED TO SHUDDERING, JERKING, ETC. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC, VERIFIED THAT TRANSMISSION WAS IN HORRIBLE SHAPE AND GOING OUT. WENT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED. THEY ADVISED THAT WARRANTY WAS OUT AND THAT NISSAN WAS DOING NOTHING TO ASSIST WITH THIS. SAID THEY WOULD BE GLAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION FOR $4,000. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THIS RECALL. THESE VEHICLES ARE DANGEROUS AND NISSAN IS AWARE OF THIS AND CHOOSES TO IGNORE THIS ISSUE.

MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SUDDENLY LOST ALL OF ITS POWER IN A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT IS VERY EASY TO CAUSE A CRASH AND KILL ME. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP. I AM TOLD THAT THE AVERAGE COST FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION CAN RANGE FROM 3500 TO 5000. IT'S ALMOST A NEW CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED OUT OF NOWHERE ON 78K MILES!! JUST GOT OUT OF THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS CVT CAUSED NISSAN TO WARRANTY THE OLDER MODELS BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THEY DID NOT OFFER THE SAME ON MY 2013. HOWEVER, FROM MY RESEARCH, IT APPEARS TO BE A CURRENT AND ONGOING ISSUE WITH ALL NISSANS WITH A CVT. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE COMMON PROBLEM AND IS DOING NOTHING TO CORRECT IT.

VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 60,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEGAN TO STUTTER OR SHAKE WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A LIGHT. ALSO THE OTHER DAY WHEN GOING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE PETAL TO THE FLOOR.

MY DAUGHTER;S 2013 NISSAN SENTRA STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH IT SPUTTERING AND JERKING. WE HAD SOME MAINTENANCE ON IT EVEN CHANGING SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. ISSUE WASNT AS BAD AFTERWARDS BUT THEN AS THE DAYS PASSED IT GOT WORSE. AS SHE AND A FRIEND WERE TRYING TO MAKE IT BACK HOME THE CAR STOPPED MOVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET HOLDING UP TRAFFIC. A TOW TRUCK HAD TO BE CALLED AND IT WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $3000 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL!!!

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.

CAR CONTINUOUSLY BUCKS AND OCCASIONALLY STALLS OUT DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AT 40K MILES FOR THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I PURCHASED THE CAR AT 55K MILES AND ALL SEEMED FINE. NOW AT 70K MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING WHEN TAKING OFF OR SHIFTING 85,000 MILES

TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, SLIPPING, GETTING STUCK IN LOW GEAR WITH OUT SHIFTING, ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DRIVING AS CAR WILL NOT KEEP UP SPEED, WILL NOT PULL OUT IN INTERSECTIONS ETC...

CONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION REVS UP AND DOWN AND JERKS THE CAR FORWARD AND BACKWARD. THIS IS A NEWLY REPLACED TRANSMISSION IN APRIL 2018. THE LAST TRANSMISSION ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHEN COMPLAINED THE AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER SAID THERE WAS NO ISSUE. AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED RIGHT AFTER IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NISSAN REFUSED TO REPLACE. I PAID $3700 FROM POCKET TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION, AND IT IS FAILING AGAIN.

COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 85,821 MILES. STRANDED AT MAJOR INTERSECTION. TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A COST OF $4000. NISSAN SHOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THEIR CVT TRANSMISSIONS IN ALL VEHICLES.

BOUGHT CERTIFIED USED WITH CARFAX IN FEB. 2018. CAR SHUDDERING/JERKING/GRINDING WHEN ACCELERATING, STARTING AT AROUND 70,000 MILES. I ASKED NISSAN ABOUT THIS AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME I WILL NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION - AT 79,000! HAPPY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY, SO HOPEFULLY IT IS COVERED. SHOULD'VE BOUGHT ANOTHER HONDA OR TOYOTA.

TRANSMISSION SHAKES AND JUDDERS. CAR BUCKS WHEN SLOWING BELOW 15 MPH, CLUNKS WHEN SWITCHING GEARS, RPMS ARE HIGH AND CAR SEEMS STUCK AND CANNOT SWITCH GEARS. IT HAPPENS ON REGULAR STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE WORSE IS GOING DOWN AN EXIT RAMP. VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE TO HAVE THE CAR SUDDENLY BUCK AND LURCH.

BOUGHT THIS CAR, MY FIRST CAR ON 04/20/2018. I HAVE A SHORT COMMUTE TO WORK AND THE CAR SEEMED TO FIT MY PRICE RANGE AND DIDN'T SEE MANY DIRE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SPECIFIC MODEL OF CAR WHILE RESEARCHING BEFORE PURCHASING. UNTIL I SEARCHED RPM SPIKES AND TRANSMISSION SLIPS ON GOOGLE AFTER MY 60 DAY LIMITED WARRANTY RAN OUT. HAVEN'T EVEN DRIVEN THIS CAR 800 MILES AND THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY ON THE ROADS, AND AT ONLY 55,000 MILES. IT JERKED FROM DAY ONE, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL UNTIL IT GOT WORSE. I'M JUST NOW REGRETTING BUYING THIS VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO I WAS IN A PINCH FOR A CAR I GOT BILLS TO PAY AND A JOB I HAVE TO MAKE IT TO. IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND ALL AGREE THE CVT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I HAVE TO BE HONEST I AGREE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU COULD SELL SOMEONE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT LETTING THEM KNOW THE REPUTATION THIS CAR HAS. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD SELL SOMEONE A USED CAR TO SOMEONE AND KNOW THAT PERSONS CAR MAY STALL, OR JERK AND CAUSE A LIFE THREATENING CAR CRASH. WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, ITS NOT THE MONEY ITS THE SAFETY, THE VEHICLE DOESN'T OPERATE IN A SAFE MANNER, IT JERKS, STALLS, SHAKES WHEN BREAKING ALL WHILE NOT FLASHING ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS SAYING THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WHEN THERE CLEARLY IS SOMETHING WRONG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT THE VEHICLE STILL FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MASTRIA NISSAN (1305 NEW STATE HIGHWAY, RAYNHAM, MA 02767) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2013 NISSAN SENTRA W/ 58,700 MILES. THE CAR EXPERIENCED A LOUD WHINING NOISE, WHICH PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE UNTIL IT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND REV INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL POWER WAS LOST. THE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER OCCURED WHILE DRIVING APPROX. 30 MPH ON A 2-LANE ROAD IN TRAFFIC, CAUSING AN UNSAFE CONDITION. THE DRIVER WAS FORCED TO STOP THE CAR IN THE TRAVEL LANE WITH EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON WHILE OTHER VEHICLES PASSED ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINED, INTERMITTENT REVVING UNDER LOAD, SHUDDERING, AND EVENTUALLY COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AGAIN. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, AND IT IS BEING EXAMINED BY THAT DEALER NOW. ALL SYMPTOMS POINT TO FAILURE OF THE CVT, A COMMON PROBLEM WITH A RANGE OF NISSAN VEHICLES THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR YEARS. NOTE, 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THE SAME DEALER CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND PERFORMED OTHER REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE. FROM THE CONSUMER PERSPECTIVE, NISSAN AND THIS DEALER ARE KNOWINGLY ALLOWING UNSAFE VEHICLES TO LEAVE THEIR LOT AND NOT INFORMING OWNERS OF THESE ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING MY NISSAN SENTRA, FOR OVER 2 YEARS IT STARTED TO JERK WHILE SHIFTING IN BETWEEN GEARS AND GOING FROM STOPPING TO STARTING. RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING, I WAS GETTING ONTO AN INTERSTATE FROM THE RAMP AND MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT TOOK ME A GOOD .5 MILES TO GET UP TO 40MPH AND A MILE OR MORE TO GET UP TO THE SPEED OF 60 MPH! EVERY TIME I WOULD STOP AND HAVE TO START AGAIN IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME TO ACCELERATE TO THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

HELLO, I AM A OWNER OF A NISSAN SENTRA SR 2013 AND IT HAS 102,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION (CVT) HAS FAILED AND MY WIFE WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A HIGHWAY AND TEMP. OF 100+ FOR 2 HOURS BECAUSE THERE WHERE ENOUGH TOW TRUCKS IN THE AREA TO COME PICK HER AND THE VEHICLE UP. THIS IS VERY UPSETTING, WE HAVE OWNED OTHER NISSAN'S IN THE PAST AND THEY HAD DOUBLE THE MILEAGE ON THEM AND THERE TRANSMISSION HAD VERY FAILED. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS HERE AND ON THE WEB WITH REGARDS TO THIS TRANSMISSION (CVT) AND EVEN LAWSUITS. PLEASE NTSB REVIEW THESE'S COMPLAINTS AND THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME THAT SOMEONE COULD BE HUT BECAUSE THERE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND THEY COULD GET TO A SAFE AREA.

MY NISSAN SENTRA 2013 HAS BEEN RECENTLY GIVING ME ISSUES WHILE I AM DRIVING. AT 87K, THIS CAR DE-ACCELERATE SUDDENLY WHILE I AM DRIVING AND CAUSES THE RPM TO GO UP WHILE THE SPEED DECREASES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY STATED THAT I WOULD NEED TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GET IT DIAGNOSED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND QUOTED ME 4K FOR THIS. I CONTACTED NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THE CASE WAS ESCALATED TO SOMEONE NAMED AMANDA IN CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN TENESSEE. SHE QUICKLY INFORMED ME THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT ASSIST IN ANY WAY WITH REPAIRING THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. SHE ALSO STATED THAT HER DECISION WAS FINAL AND THAT THIS MATTER COULD NOT BE ESCALATED ANY FURTHER.

68000 MILES AND TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND SHUDDER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP. ALSO ABRUPTLY DOWNSHIFTS AND JERKS WHILE GOING AT CRUISING SPEEDS. IT IS HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WHEN IT SHUDDERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION CAP WAS MISSING.

CVT FAILURE- TRANSMISSION SLIPS, JERKS, AND VIOLENTLY SHUDDERS LIKE I AM SLAMMING MY BREAKS. CAR IS SCARY TO DRIVE AND SOMEONE WILL GET HURT. NISSAN UNABLE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE DUE TO NO TROUBLE CODES STORED. WELL THEY CLEARED THE CODE THAT WAS STORED WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN: CVT CLUTCH ISSUE. HIGH RPMS AND STRUGGLES TO SWITCH GEARS. WENT DOWN A RAMP ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALMOST LOST CONTROL THE CAR SHUDDERED SO BAD. ALSO JERKS AND SPUTTERS WHEN PULLING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

CVT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SHUTTERING, DELAYS WHEN SHIFTING, RPM CONSTANTLY BOUNCING UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING, ENGINE REVVING SUDDENLY WITHOUT GAS BEING APPLIED. VEHICLE JUST GOT TO 71,000 MILES

WHILE DRIVING, MY VEHICLE FREQUENTLY VIBRATES AND CATCHES WHENEVER I ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THE TRANSMISSION OF MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THOUGH IT IS UNDER 100,000 MILES AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 5 YEARS. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD.
