2016 Nissan Sentra

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle stalled upon the depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who informed her of a class-action lawsuit that had been filed against Nissan's CVT transmissions. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed her that she no longer qualified for the warranty extension for the transmission. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

I was driving onto the highway trying to accelerate past 40mph and the car started jerking really bad. I almost rear ended another vehicle luckily I was able to just avoid them . I quickly pulled over and cut the car off when I cut it back on the check engine light came on. it was around 2am so I drove it home the best That I could and took it to get diagnosed the next morning. I was told the transmission had sent about 4 failure codes and that I would need a new one. The need of a new transmission was confirmed for my the Nissan dealership themselves. My car has never done anything remotely like that before hand. I felt my life was put at grave risk and others around me. Knowing my car had began to had a jerking motion of which is almost very uncontrollable.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHUDDERING WHEN IT SHIFTS AND ALSO JERKS DURING SHIFTING AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY, AND STALLED WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY ITS HAPPENING AT 117107 MILES, I WAS TOLD IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION ACTING UP, I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND THE VEHICLE IS STARTING TO FEEL UNSAFE TO DRIVE

VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH RPMS GOING UP, BUT LOSING POWER, JERKING, AND THEN ON 01-14-21 IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET INTERSECTION AND I ALMOST GOT T-BONED. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY WOULD REVIEW THE WARRANTY ISSUE IF IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SUED FOR. THE MILEAGE WAS 108,000 WHEN IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED FOR JUST UNDER $4000. CALLED NISSAN CORP BACK WHO SENT THE INFO UP FOR REVIEW. ON 01-19-21 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM COLLEEN WHO STATED SHE IS THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY 'HAVE FULFILLED THEIR OBLIGATION'. EACH QUESTION WAS ANSWERED WITH THE SAME VERBATIM RESPONSE. I ASKED TO HAVE THE CASE BE ESCALATED ABOVE COLLEEN DUE TO THE FACT THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD EARLY DUE TO THEIR FAULTY CVT SYSTEM THEY CONTINUE TO SELL AND HAVE NOT RECALLED. AFTER BEING TOLD SHE DOES NOT HAVE A BOSS, COLLEEN STATED THEY WILL GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER AS SHE MAKES THE DECISION AND THEY HAVE MET THEIR OBLIGATION. I ASKED SHE ESCALATE IT ANYWAYS. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM ANYONE ELSE AT THE NISSAN CORP.
