2016 Nissan Sentra

AFTER PURCHASING MY CAR 3 MONTHS AGO WITH 47,000 MILES, I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT WITH MY FAMILY GOING 35 MPH, STRAIGHT ON A CITY STREET WITH MODERATE TRAFFIC WHEN THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE STARTED TO HARDEN AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO LOCK UP. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTED APPEARING ONE AFTER ANOTHER. I JUST MISSED A CAR NEXT TO ME TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD. I PULLED IN A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR STOPPED COMPLETELY, THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKE, ACCELERATOR, EVERYTHING STOPPED RESPONDING. I ASSUMED IT MAY BE A BAD BATTERY, SO I GOT A JUMP, BUT AFTER 20 MINUTES, THE CAR REFUSED TO TURNOVER. THE LIGHTS STILL WORKED, THERE WASN'T ANY DIMMING. THE MECHANIC SPENT MOST OF THE FOLLOWING DAY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, STILL BEING DIAGNOSED. I'VE SEEN THE SAME PROBLEM NOTED FOR NISSAN SENTRA AND OTHER MODELS, IT'S A SCARY THING FOR A VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY STOP ON A ROAD OR HIGHWAY, IF THE PARKING LOT WASN'T NEARBY, MY FAMILY AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN SITTING DUCKS TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR STRAINED ON A HIGHWAY. THIS IS BY THE MOST CARELESS VEHICLE ISSUE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I'M CONCERNED THIS ISSUE HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED OR RECALLED.

PURCHASED FROM NISSAN OF NEWNAN, IN OCTOBER OF 2016 SENTRA - WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT STARTED HESITATING BEFORE PICKING UP ANY SPEED FROM A STOPPED POSITION, WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, PULLED OVER TO READ THE MANUAL AND IT STATED TO CHECK THE GAS CAP, IT WAS NOT ON TIGHT SO I REMOVED IT A PLACED IT BACK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP BUT THE CAR STARTING JERKING BEFORE GAINING TO 40 MILES PER HOUR, THE RMP GAUGE WOULD ZIP UP TO 4 GO BACK TO 2 BEFORE MOVING TO A HIGHER SPEED. WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF, ONCE I STARTED IT BACK UP THE CAR WOULD SHIFT INTO DRIVE, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS DEALING WITH SOMETHING ELECTRICAL AND THE TRANSMISSION. LESS THAN 2 YEARS OLD AND LESS THAN 100,000 MILES. I OWNED OLDER MODEL FOR 5 YEARS, OVER 200,000 MILES BEFORE I HAD ANY PROBLEMS FROM THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION.

WHEN I COME OUT MY HOUSE IN THE MORNING, I HAVE FOUND MY TRUNK OPEN SO FAR MORE THAN 5 TIMES AND AT TIMES WHEN I COME OUT OF A STORE THE TRUNK IS OPEN. IT'S ALWAYS WHEN THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH THIS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND I FEEL LIKE ONE DAY IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AND SOMEONE GO IN MY TRUNK AND CAR AND TAKE WHATEVER THEY WANT. THE DOORS OR THE ALARM NEVER OPEN OR GOES OFF ON IT OWN BUT THE TRUNK DOES. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S THE KEY FOB OR WHAT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT THOUGHT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR POSITIONS SINCE SHE WAS SHORT. UPON ADJUSTING THE MIRRORS, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A NISSAN DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

2016 NISSAN SENTRA SV WITH 10K MILES ONLY, CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH. ENGINE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED FOR FEW SECONDS. CAR STALLED AND DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD FOR FEW MINUTES. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE CAR, IT WORKED AND STARTED BEHAVING NORMALLY AS NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS ISSUE FROM 1 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 10K MILES.

PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SINCE I PURCHASED CAR IN 10/2016 TIL PRESENT. IT IS INTERMITTENT. WHEN INITIATING A RIGHT TURN FROM STATIONARY 0 SPEED AND WHILE ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT LEAST 100 FEET AWAY, THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE WHILE THE PEDAL IS TO THE FLOOR. I CANNOT INITIATE TURNS SAFELY IF ANY CARS ARE IN MY VIEW. I AM TAKING TO DEALER FOR EXAM, BUT I BELIEVE PROBLEM IS WITH CVT TRANSMISSION.
