2016 Nissan Sentra

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT AROUND 80MPH THE CAR'S RPM'S WILL SPIKE AND THE GAS PEDAL WILL NOT WORK. THE CAR JUST TAKES OVER DRIVING ITSELF. THIS OCCURS FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN THE CAR WILL DRIVE NORMALLY AGAIN. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND THEY SAY IT'S THE CVT TRANSMISSION SLIPPING. BUT THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT DAMAGED AND THERE'S NO DIAGNOSTIC CODE SO NOTHING CAN BE DONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH OR WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET FOR 75 MPH, THE RPMS REVVED UP. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GREENWAY BRUNSWICK NISSAN LOCATED AT (231 CHAPEL CROSSING ROAD, BRUNSWICK, GA 31525, (912)289-8701) WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER CORE AND THE HEATER CORE BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEATER CORE WAS REPLACED 3 TIMES AND THE HEATER BOX, ALONG WITH THE HEATER CORE, WAS REPLACED 2 TIMES. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I PURCHASED A USED 2016 NISSAN SENTRA SV IN 2019 AT 48K MILES - IT IS CURRENTLY AT 58K MILES, NEARLY TO THE POWERTRAIN EXPIRATION AT 60K MILES. AFTER 4 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP I BEGAN EXPERIENCING SEVERE CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES - I WOULD BE DRIVING UP THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY MY TRANSMISSION WOULD LOSE COMPLETE POWER CAUSING NEAR-ACCIDENT CONDITIONS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE CAR WOULD BE IN MOTION, SOMETIMES IN CRUISE CONTROL WHILE MOVING FORWARD. THE CAR JOLTS BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY. WHEN IT LOSES POWER IT CANNOT ACCELERATE AND TYPICALLY GETS STUCK AT 45 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 15-20 TIMES IN THE DURATION OF MY OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE SO FAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE SERVICE CENTER SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT REPAIRED, ONLY TO HAVE THEM STATE THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THEIR COMPUTERS CANNOT SOURCE A CODE. I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE THIS ISSUE ON VIDEO TO HELP PROVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING. I SENT THE VIDEO TO A TECHNICIAN WHO THEN CONFIRMED "YES, THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR TRANSMISSION" ONLY TO HAVE THEM STATE AT THE END OF ANOTHER DAY-LONG VISIT TO THE SERVICE CENTER THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE MINUTE MY CAR IS DRIVING FINE THEN WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP AND PRESS ON THE GAS MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. THE RPM WILL ACCELERATE BUT MY SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT GO UP. I HAVE EVEN PRESSED THE GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT STILL WON'T GET UP IN SPEED. MY CAR WILL ALSO ACT LIKE IT'S TRYING TO DYE WHEN SITTING AT AT LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT'S ALSO STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THE HAS HAPPENED IN TOWN, ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO GET ON A HIGHWAY WITH KIDS IN THE CAR AND TRYING TO MERGE INTO ON COME TRAFFIC WITH HUGE SEMI'S. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY TELL MY THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPROGRAMMED. WELL OBVIOUSLY REPROGRAMMING IT DOESN'T WORK. I'M FED UP WITH THIS PROBLEM. I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER NISSAN AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN

THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS, I WILL BE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT LOSES SPEED FOR NO REASON. I TRY TO GET IT GAS AND MY SPEED DECREASES. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS SCARY PROBLEM. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT'S GONNA TAKE SOMEONE LOSING THERE LIFE BEFORE NISSAN WILL ADMIT THIS BE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN

THE PAINT ON THE ROOF, HOOD, AND BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT QUARTER PANELS OF THE VEHICLE IS STARTING TO COME OFF TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE ROOF NEAREST TO THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD, THE INSIDE OF THE QUARTER PANELS CLOSETS TO THE TRUNK LID, AND THE FRONT TOP PART OF THE HOOD. QM1 I THINK IS THE PAINT CODE. IT'S A 3-STAGE WHITE. I DON'T BELIEVE THE PAINT IS SUPPOSED TO ALREADY BE PEELING OFF OF A 2016 VEHICLE. I HAVE MORE PHOTOS IF NECESSARY.
