2013 Nissan Sentra UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The problem with my 2013 Nissan Sentra relates to the transmission which was serviced April 22, 2024 at Passport Nissan in Suitland, M D. Two months later, June 12, 2024 my car was serviced again for transmission problelms. The CVT transmission unit was replaced because of internal malfunction on the transmission assembly. My car is currently unsafe 1 year and six months later with transmission problems. The recent diagnosis requires removing the existing transmission assembly and installing a new one to ensure proper functioning of the drivetrain. The cost is $7,509.41. My contention is that the transmission is still faulty and unsafe after multiple paid service attempts. Nissan service management informs that service is outside of the warranty by one month because of their recent policy change. Please assist with transmission repairs at no cost to me since it has not been serviced properly and is unsafe to me and my family. I would appreciate knowing what if anything can be done to help with transmission repair at no additional cost to me. Thank you.

While driving, the start/stop button was pressed and the vehicle turned off while in motion. WHILE IN D, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE IN TRAFFIC, IN MOTION, DUE TO THE STOP/START BUTTON BEING PRESSED. It should not be able to shut off while in drive. The safety feature should not allow that.

2013 Nissan Sentra that I bought brand new in 2014 with only about 15 miles on it. December 2024 In the middle of traffic the vehicle would not accelerate forward, even when almost flooring the gas pedal. This would only Rev up the engine as if I was in park. I was able to drive in reverse to a park in a lot next to where the vehicle stalled. There were not any warning lights at anytime prior to the incident. The mechanic did take a look at it and believed it was a transmission issue. The first time this happened was about 2018 with the same type of scenario. The transmission was replaced $4000+ later by Nissan but when they gave the car back the AC did not work and I had to replace the compressor. They denied any wrong doing at the Nissan dealership but it was fine before I dropped it off except the transmission.

My car has has to repair its air conditioner on 3 Ocasion because it stopped cooling. On November 2023 the transition failed sending a code of: SECOND CLOTCH MODE. I TOOK IT TO 3 mechanics and all said it was the transmition and that all CVT cars have the same defect. My car is well care taken but right now it’s not functioning because of this issue. All cars I have seen NISSAN SENTRA fail for thr same …transmition. At this moment I don’t have any other car to solve my situation and don’t have $6,000.00 to buy a transmition. Please review people who have these cars .

My car just started messing up and I took it to my nearest Nissan dealership and I was advised it was the transmission but before that day I was looking up information on what the car issue could be and it came out to be that there was a transmission CVT recall for my car 2013 Nissan Sentra. I moved from Chicago to Arizona in June of 2020 and I was never informed either via phone or email. I do not thin that it is fair that I should have to pay for this issue at all if it is a manufacturer recall and I was never informed of the recall.

My 2013 Nissan Sentra transmission had to be replaced. I wanted to report this problem because Nissan in my experience have had transmission problems with some of their vehicles causing consumers to pay out of pocket for expensive repairs. My daughter has a 2015 Nissan Maxima whose transmission blew also. Also, I received a notice that my 2018 Nissan Pathfinder may have future transmission problems. Fortunately I traded this vehicle for a Toyota so I wouldn’t have this problem in the future. This is very concerning that all of these cars have the same transmission problem. Is there anything that could be done for Nissan owners?

Nissan replaced my defective cvt and since that time my car rolls back when I am taking off from a stop at the top of a hill.

The transmission works fine until the car reaches 50-55 mph and reaches higher operating temperatures, then the car becomes "limp". The transmission becomes very weak. The cars tachometer, on the dashboard, will go from almost 4,000 rpms down to less than 1,000 rpms. This happens in traffic, while driving along at 55 mph it will only go about 20 or less mph. When the car is driven to the roadside and turned off, smoke will come from under the hood and around the transmission, like it's been burning transmission fluid that has dripped all over the transmission body. After the transmission has cooled down for at least 30 minutes or so, it may resume being driven if driven slower, like 40 mph or less. Also, when climbing any percentage of a grade, the car starts losing power and going slower while proceeding up the grade.

The mass airflow sensor is known to be an issue. I have had to replace it 5 times now since may 2021. I was trying to get on the street with oncoming traffic and it died and the car tried restarting while in gear. Luckily I was not injured. This is the #1 issue with this make and model of car. After this happened I went to see what the check engine light meant as it has been on for months even after changing the sensor and I could not drive my car. I changed the sensor in the parking lot to get home. How many people have to die before nissan corrects the issue? I can't read the mileage, gas usage etc even after changing the sensor. I drive blindly to these

MY TRANSMISSION JUST GAVE OUT ON ME

SANTANA CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS AND PICK BACK UP

MY CAR WOULD START TO JERK AS I WAS DRIVING, I WENT AND GOT IT LOOKED AT AND THE AUTO ZONE GUY SAID IT WAS THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR IN THE ALTERNATOR SO I HAD THAT FIXED, THEN THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER ALLTHAT IT WAS STILL JERKING AND IT IS MY ALTERNATOR. I DROVE MY NISSAN OFF THE LOT WITH 298 MILES ON IT AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT BECAUSE IM AT 101K MILES EVEN THOUGH I HAVE THE SECURITY +PLUS CONTRACT AND THERE IS A STIPULATION WITH KENTCUKY. THERE SHOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AS TO WHY A 6 YEAR OLD CAR IS HAVING SO MANY ISSUES ALL OF A SUDDEN. IT LITERRALY STARTED A MONTH AGO AND IS DUE TO BE PAID OFF IN JULY. WHEN I PULL OFF FROM STATIONARY SITTING IT JERKS, ONCE I COAST TO A GOOD SPEED AROUND 50MPH AND UP THEN IT WONT JERK BUT HESITATES AND MY RPM GAUGE JUMPS UP AND DOWN.

VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY STOPS PULLING. I WAS ON A US STATE HIGHWAY WITH MANY VEHICLES BEHIND ME. WITHIN 18 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED OPERATING 3 TIMES RESULTING IN ME WORKING TO GET MY CAR OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER TRAFFIC. VEHICLE HAS LOW MILEAGE.

FAULTY TRANSMISSION

TOTAL TRANS MISSION FAILURE 2 TIMES. ONCE AT 60K MILES, COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WENT IN BEFORE WARRANTY WAS OVER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT MY TRANSMISSION. THEY RAN A TEST AND SAID IT WAS FINE AND SENT ME HOME. TOLD ME THAT WAS THE WAY IT DRIVES AND IT'S FINE. I DONT EVEN THINK THEY DROVE IT OR THEY WOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

MY CAR STALLS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW DOWN OR STOP.IT START THE END OF 2016 BUT IT WAS ONCE EVERY FEW WEEKS. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN OXFORD MS IN 2017 AND HAD IT TESTED AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. IT IS MUCH WORSE NOW. IT USE TO BE A COUPLE TIMES A MONTH AT FIRST NOW IT HAPPENS ON AT LEAST HALF OF THE ACCELERATIONS FROM BEING STOPPED OR SLOWED ESPECIALLY IF YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. I HAVE READ ABOUT OTHER CARS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE HAVE ISSUED A BULLETIN FOR IT TO BE TESTED AND REPAIRED AT MY COST. THIS SHOULD BE NISSAN'S EXPENSE PLUS ANY DAMAGE IT HAS COST WITH ME DRIVING IT THIS WAY FOR 50,00 MILES AFTER THEY SAID IT WAS ANYTHING TO BE FIXED. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED. THIS STARTED AT 52,000 MILES NOW IT HAS 99,000 MILES IT WAS TESTED AT 56,000 MILES.

CVT TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON VEHICLE WHILE ON THE ROAD. I ONLY HAD 76,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME.

THE CAR JERKS AND SHAKES WHEN DRIVING AND COMPLETELY STOPS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES, CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY, DOOR ON DRIVER SIDE ALSO DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN DEALER IN MONTCLAIR METRO NISSAN IN CALIFORNIA, THEY STATED ITS THE TRANSMISSION AND IS IN SERVICE RIGHT NOW. BIG SAFETY HAZARD.

WE BOUGHT OUR DAUGHTER A NEW 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. IT WAS SERVICED REGULARLY AT OUR NISSAN DEALER. ON OCTOBER 18TH, MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE ON LOCAL STREETS. SHE SMELLED FUEL, THE CONTROLS ON THE DASHBOARD WENT HAYWIRE AND ALL SYSTEMS ON THE CAR STARTED SHUTTING DOWN. SHE PULLED THE CAR OVER, PUT HER EMERGENCY BRAKES ON, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND GOT AWAY FROM THE CAR. SHE WATCHED AS HER CAR WENT ON FIRE. WE NOTIFIED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD US THAT BECAUSE THEY FOUND NO MANUFACTURING DEFECTS, THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. HOW DOES A 5 YEAR, WELL MAINTAINED, 48,000 MILE CAR JUST SET FIRE WITH NO WARNING? HOW WAS THIS VEHICLE NOT PART OF THE MARCH 2013 RECALL? HOW CAN NISSAN NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS? MOST IMPORTANTLY, HOW CAN THEY NOT GIVE US AN ANSWER TO WHY MY DAUGHTER'S CAR SET ON FIRE? IS THIS USUAL? IS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF A CAR ONLY 5 YEARS NOW? ARE THESE CAR MANUFACTURER'S NOT BEING HELD TO ANY STANDARDS? DO I HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WITH MY OTHER 2 CHILDREN'S NISSAN CARS? MY SON'S CAR IS A 2013 NISSAN ALTIMA BOUGHT AT THE SAME TIME WE BOUGHT THE 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. OUR OTHER CAR IS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA (ALSO MANUFACTURED AT THE SAME PLANT AS THE OTHER NISSAN SENTRA, A YEAR LATER). WE PURCHASED IT USED TWO MONTHS AGO FROM OUR LOCAL DEALER AND ALREADY HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. HOW COME THESE MANUFACTURER'S ARE GETTING AWAY WITH PUTTING OUT FAULTY PRODUCTS AND NOT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE WHEN THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR? BESIDES NOT HAVING A CAR FOR 8 WEEKS, MY DAUGHTER SUFFERS FROM ANXIETY WHEN SHE'S IN A CAR AND HAS NIGHTMARES ABOUT BEING IN A BURNING CAR. THIS IS SO TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I CONTACT SOMEONE AT THE NHTSA WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH NISSAN. HERE WE ARE 9 WEEKS LATER AND NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT. CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE? [XXX]. THANKYOU. *DT*JB INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TRANSMISSION IS ACTING LIKE IT WANTS TO NOT SHIFT ON TIME. IT HESITATED AND WILL EVEN REVUP WITHOUT ME ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY

AS I WAS GOING 60MPH ON A HIGHWAY WITH HIGH TRAFFIC MY CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN NO MATTER HOW MUCH I STEPPED ON THE PEDDLE. I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE THE CAR GO BY SHIFTING THE GEARS. AFTER A COUPLE MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO MOVE. ANOTHER TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS CROSSING INTERSECTION SPEED LIMIT IS 35. IT STARTED TO LOOSE POWER AND I BARLEY MADE IT PAST THE INTERSECTION. MY NISSAN DEALER STATES IT ISN'T MY TRANSMISSION. I HAVE READY MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE ABOUT NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION. IT'S DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING A CAR LIKE THAT.

VIN:[XXX] PLEASE KNOW THIS VEHICLE WAS STOLEN ON 11/12/2018 IN RIO PIEDRAS, PR. IS A BLUE NISSAN SENTRA SR 2013 W/CHARCOAL BLACK INTERIOR. PLEASE CALL AUTHORITY 787-765-0841, R # [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I'M A DEALER, I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT AN AUCTION. WHEN I TEST IT IT GOES INTO REVERSE AND DRIVE EASILY BUT WHEN I DRIVE IT, IT STICKS TO THE FIRST GEAR! BAD TRANSMISSION

MY CAR HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION AND NISSAN KNOWS THAT THESE CARS AT AROUND 70,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION STARTS ACTING UP. I NOTICED THAT MY CAR FELT A LITTLE DIFFERENT WHENEVER I WAS DRIVING IT BUT JUST THOUGHT IT WAS MY IMPRESSION. AS MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR, THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE AT A STOP SIGN. IN THE HIGHWAY IT JERKS, SPEEDS AND SLOWS DOWN AT VARIOUS TIMES UNANNOUNCED WHICH MAKES IT VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CONTACTED NISSAN ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A $4000 TRANSMISSION THAT THEY WOULD'VE REPLACED FOR FREE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY I HAPPEN TO BE 1800 MILES OVER WHAT THE BOOK STATES. IF I KNEW THAT MY CAR HAD A TRANSMISSION THAT IS NO GOOD THAT PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER I WOULD'VE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP A LONG TIME AGO. BUT I DIDN'T KNOW AS THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS POINT.
