2017 Nissan Sentra Power Train

The transmission has been having problems since 2019 with shift delays and shuttering or jumping that pulses and surges. I’ve taken it to Nissan several times prior to warranty going out but they say they have not been able to reproduce it. Now that the warranty is expired they have been able to reproduce all of my complaints related to the transmission at $6000 price tag.

The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, NOTICED THE VEHICLE START TO SPORADICALLY JERK. ENGINE RPM WOULD JUMP AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS NON RESPONSIVE AT TIMES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED. PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND HAD NO RESPONSE AT ALL. STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTING TO FAIL. CAR IS A 2017 AND HAS LESS THAN 92000 MILES ON IT. EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDS ON THAT YEAR AT 84000 MILES. WITHOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE THE REPAIR IS AROUND $4000. LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND FOUND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY OR ISSUE A RECALL. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO BE DRIVING AND LOSE ACCELERATOR RESPONSE ALL TOGETHER

DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD IN DRIVE. THIS HAPPENED AFTER STOPING AT A GAS STATION. I REVERSED THE VEHICLE TO PULL OUT OF THE SPOT AND SWITCHED TO DRIVE. THATS WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD. CHECKED THE VEHICLE REVERSE, AND THE REVERSE CONTINUE TO WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE HOUSE AND THE NEAREST NISSAN DEALER WAS CONTACTED REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THAT ISSUE WAS WELL KNOW AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WAS TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REPLACE AT A COST OF ABOUT $3,750. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 79,258 MILES ONLY. AS OF RIGHT NOW THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE.

I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND THE MOST PROBLEMATIC ONE IS THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I ACCELERATE TO HIGH SPEED ON HIGHWAY AT A POINT THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO ACT UP. THE RPM START TO GO UP AND DOWN CRAZY. AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE AND I COULD OF HAD HARDCORE ACCIDENTS THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, BUT RANDOMLY. THERE ARE NO CHECK LIGHTS ON OR ANYTHING, SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE DRIVE NORMAL AND AT TIMES IT DOES NOT. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NEVER HAD THE TIME TO FIX MY VEHICLE UNTIL I SAID ENOUGH I NEED THIS DONE ASAP. WELL IT TOOK THEM 5 DAYS TO TELL ME IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AND GIVEN CODE IS DTC: P17F4. I WAS LOOKING INTO IT AND DID SEE THERE ARE CURRENT RECALLS FOR SOME SENTRA BUT MINE IS NOT ONE I GUESS MAYBE IT IS THE MODEL I DONT KNOW.

01/25/2019 NORTH OF INDIANAPOLIS, IN TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-65, THE CAR APPEARED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AT 70 MPH. STOPPED ON THE INSIDE LANE, SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED AND SEEMED TO BE OKAY. GOT JUST SOUTH OF INDY AND STOPPED FOR GAS, MADE IT OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR WOULDN'T GO FOWARD BUT WOULD GO IN REVERSE. HAD TO BACK UP THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO I-65 TO AVOID BEING HIT BY SEMI'S COMING DOWN THE RAMP.CALLED NISSAN EMERGENCY ROADSIDE SERVICE AND THEY HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALER (HUBLER NISSAN) THEY TOLD US THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT I TOOK THE CAR TO M'LADY NISSAN ON 02/02/2018 TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ERRATIC SHIFTING, THEY FOUND NO PROBLEMS. ON 06/11/2019 I AGAIN TOOK THE CAR TO M'LADY NISSAN TO COMPLAIN ABOUT RPM'S JUMPING AS THE CAR ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT AND NOT WANTING TO SHIFT AT ALL GOING FOWARD ON A FLAT SURFACE ROAD. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND SAID THE FOUND NO PROBLEMS. AT THE TIME THE TRANS WENT OUT, THE CAR ONLY HAD 3,548 MILES ON IT. FOR THE SECOND COMPLAINT AFTER THE NEW TRANS WAS PUT IN THE CAR ONLY HAD 4201 MILES ON IT. WE NOW ONLY USE THE CAR FOR LOCAL TRIPS AS WE ARE AFRAID TO TAKE IT OUT ON THE ROAD AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO ACT ERRATICALLY. NISSAN WON'T DO ANYTHING FOR US AND M'LADY NISSAN (WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR) DOESN'T OR WON;T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THEY DID TELL US IF THE TRANS GOES OUT AGAIN WE MIGHT GET SOMETHING DONE UNDER THE LEMON LAW

TAKATA RECALL . I HAVE A COMPLAINT ON THE CVT TRANSMISSION. MY TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED BACK IN OCTOBER, NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO AND IT BEGIN ACTING UP AGAIN BACK IN AUGUST WHILE DRIVING AND I'VE SEEN THE LAWSUITS AND RECALLS ON IT. AND NISSAN WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO STAY UNDER THE WARRANTY OR EXTEND IT. SO I DONT MIND PULLING IN THE LEMON LAW FIRM.

WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE ON AT 70MPH. RPMS STARTED JUMPING AND LOST POWER. TOOK TO NISSAN HAD IT CHECKED SND ITS A CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 99,798MILES ON CAR. CONTACTED NISSAN USA ABOUT IT AND WITH A 8 DAY REPLY GOT THAT ITS NOT COVERWD UNDER WARRENTY FOR A KNOWN DEFECT DUE TO THEY ONLY COVER 5/60000 MILES NOT 10YRS/120,000 MILES ON THAT VEHICLE. CAR LESS THAN 1 1/2 YRS OLD. SO WHEN I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP LIKE NISSAN USA TOLD ME TO DO SO THEY WOULD KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT FOR SURE. THEY TELL ME THEY WONT FIX IT. SO COST ME $130 TK HAVE IT CHECKED. AND ANOTHER $270 FOR A LOANER CAR WHILE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR. AND TO GET CAR FIXED IT WILL COST ME $4000. I KNOW I WOULD NEVER SUGGEST A NISSAN LEMON TO ANYONE, AND WILL NEVER BUY A NISSAN AGAIN SINCE I STILL OWE $18,000+ ON A CAR I CANT DRIVE DO TO NISSAN KNOWING THE CVT TRANSMISSION ARE MESSED UP

I STILL DON'T SEE A RECALL FOR IT AND HE SAID THEY WON'T FIX IT UNTIL THEN. CAN WE GET THIS BALL ROLLING PLEASE, IT'S A HUGE HIGHWAY SAFETY CONCERN.
