2015 Nissan Sentra

NOTICED LACK OF POWER WHILE DRIVING CONSTANT KICK BACK ALMOST LIKE GOING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP WHEN ACCELERATING LOSS OF FUEL MILEAGE AND OCCASIONALLY A SOUND LIKE A BIRD CHIRP IF GOES ABOVE 2000 RPM. HAPPENS ON CITY OR HIGHWAY ROADS. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. TOOK MY 2015 SENTRA TO NISSAN TO FIND OUT WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL YEAR MODELS FROM 2003-2010 HAVE FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS EXPANDING TO WARRANTY BUT 2015 ISN'T INCLUDED.

I HAVE BEEN TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY MY VEHICLE LOSES POWER RANDOMLY AND WHY THE CAR RANDOMLY SHIFTS GEARS AND REDUCES SPEED EVEN WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS. YET WHILE IT DOES THIS THE RPM NEEDLE SURGES BETWEEN 3000 TO 4500. VEHICLE HAS NO CODES AND DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS LOST POWER ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND YET IM JUST SUPPOSE TO BELIEVE THE CAR IS SAFE.I EVEN PUT IN A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY CODES.

I WAS IN MOTION WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR STARTED TO HESITATE AND NOT SPEED UP.I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT IT WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO. I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS MATTER WITH NISSAN CORPORATION BUT THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL AND NOT BEING COOPERATIVE. I ALSO TOOK MY CAR TO A TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST NEAR WHERE I LIVE AND THEY STATED IT IS THE TRANSMISSION THAT WENT VERY BAD. I NO LONGER HAVE THE VEHICLE IN MY POSSESSION BECAUSE I REFUSE TO PAY AN ARM AND A LEG FOR A FAULTY TRANSMISSION THAT WAS BEYOND MY CONTROL TO GET IT REPAIRED AND I WAS SOLD A LEMON VEHICLE.

MY CAR HAS THE CVT AND AT TIMES YOU HAVE TO REALLY PRESS HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE CAR TO SELECT A GEAR AND MOVE. IF YOU EASE INTO THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE IT'S ALMOST AS IF I AM DRIVING MY HUSBAND'S RACECAR WITH A STALL CONVERTER IN IT. I TOOK IT TO THE SELLING DEALER AT ONLY 22,000 MILES AND THEY WANTED TO CHANGE THE FLUID WITHOUT FIRST EVEN TAKING IT FOR A RIDE OR EXPLAINING WHY IT NEEDED THE FLUID CHANGED SO SOON WHEN THE MANUAL STATES 60K.

AFTER ABOUT JUST A FEW WEEKS OF PURCHASING THE CAR, IT STARTED SHIFTING HARDER THAN IT SHOULD ON OCCASION, OTHER TIMES IT WOULD BE FINE. THEN ON WAY HOME FROM WORK ON THE HWY IT STOPS ACCELERATING SO I FLOOR IT JUST TO GET ANY SPEED, THEN IT WOULD ACCELERATE AGAIN SOMEWHAT NORMALLY. DID THIS FOR ABOUT 1 WEEK BEFORE I COULD TAKE TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION. THEY DO NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT WHICH WAS NOT THE CASE AND I KNEW BETTER B/C WHILE THEY WERE CHECKING THE CAR OUT, THEY LOANED ME A CAR TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND IT WAS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME CAR, MAY OF BEEN A YEAR NEWER OR OLDER BUT IT WAS A SENTRA. THIS SENTRA DROVE SO MUCH SMOOTHER AND I KNEW MINE HAD AN ISSUE THEN. BUT THEY INSISTED NO PROBLEM. I HAD THE CAR BACK 1 DAY FROM THEM AND IT STARTS ACTING UP THE SAME WAY BUT WORSE TILL IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FOR ME AT ALL. LIKE IT WAS DYING ON ME WHICH IT DID SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE SAME NISSAN DEALERSHIP ONLY TO HAVE TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN. CAR HAD JUST UNDER 60,000 MILES ON IT AND MY WARRANTY WAS FIXING TO END HOWEVER IT IS STARTING TO WORRY ME A LITTLE B/C IT IS ACTING UP AGAIN SLIGHTLY. I FEAR ITS THE SAME ISSUE CVT TRANSMISSION AND MY WARRANTY IS EXPIRES. I AM VERY UPSET B/C I FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS A LEMON AND I MAY BE STUCK WITH THE PIECE OF JUNK AND UPSIDE DOWN AND TOO BROKE TO GET ANOTHER CAR. NOT FAIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AND THE POWER TRAIN INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VALLEY HI NISSAN (15722 VALLEY PARK LN, VICTORVILLE, CA 92394, (760) 241-1700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE INTERSTATE AND KEEPING A STEADY 65-70 MPH IT WILL ALL THE SUDDEN STOP ACCELERATING AND MPG'S DECLINE. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. I HAD TO PULL THE CAR OVER. IT DID RESTART AND I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THIS HAS OCCURRED NOW FOUR TIMES. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND REQUESTED AN APPOINTMENT. I INFORMED THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND ASKED IF THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. THE MAN I SPOKE TO STATED HE HAD NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT BEFORE. I FOUND SOME INFORMATION ONLINE AND KNOW THIS IS AFFECTING A TON OF PEOPLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY SERVICE IT FOR EVERYTHING. I AM HOPING I DO NOT END UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION LIKE SO MANY OTHERS ON MY DIME WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.
