Transmission; I have had to change the CVT transmission on my nissan sentra twice in the space of a year. Before the last change I suffered a transmission leak that entailed me adding fluid when a whining noise starts. Steering; power steering is hard and does not move with ease unlike other cars I have driven. Speedometer; speed is inaccurate. I got speeding tickets because my speedometer did not accurately depict my speed. It was wrong and off by ~5 MPH when speed started to exceed 20mph

I warmed up my vehicle for approximately 3 minutes and drove as I normally do than as I came to a stop sign and stopped. As I pressed my accelerator pedal the car was off. I checked the RPM and I was at zero (0). My CVT jerks me and passengers and it hesitates and turns off in reverse. This car will cut off regardless if in drive or reverse.the CVT needs to be recalled before an incident occurs that could affect our safety on the road someone help. Please. Nissan needs to recall the faulty CVT transmissions they whine and overheat alot.my CVT warranty was extended to 10yrs 120,000 miles.no more nissans for me. Or CVT transmissions ever.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 nissan sentra. While driving approximately 15 MPH, the contact heard a grinding sound coming from the transmission when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The sound would stop once the vehicle reached a certain speed, but continued once the brakes were applied. The failure occurred numerous times at different speeds. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired according to an unknown manufacturer recall. The technician replaced the transmission, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

Vehicle was experiencing stalling on a stop and hesitating in reverse for approximately 4 months. Thought it was due to fuel pump issues. Then, heard a loud clicking noise when I took my foot off the brake to slow. Was told my transmission needed to be replaced. Nissan has an extended 120,000 warranty on transmission. My vehicle had 120,815 miles. They only replaced 50%, causing me to pay $1500. These nissan CVT transmission clearly have a significant defect causing these issues that nissan has acknowledged by doubling the warranty, but this is insufficient. The transmissions should have been recalled. I should not have paid anything for the repairs. Additionally, the replacement transmission was a nissan remanufactured with refurbished parts, not new. Based on the numerous consumers reporting they have had to replace transmissions in these vehicles 2 or 3 times, I will not be keeping this vehicle, nor will I ever buy a nissan product again.

While driving on a city street, my 2007 nissan sentra lost power three times. All warning signal lights illuminated on the dash each time. I put the car in park and restarted the engine and all warning lights on the dash disappeared. The vehicle drove fine for about another mile or so until it cut off again. I researched this issue and it looks to be a known issue related to the throttle body unit failure http://repairpal.com/check-engine-lightloss-of-power-due-to-throttle-body-unit-failure-441.

My car transmission is under warranty but dealership would not fix it, they say purple fluid is not nissan certified but I have proof that transmission fluid was never changed, it seems coolant has contaminated the transmission fluid.

Nissan transmission last just five years before you needs to replace them I was driving on the highway going around 65 to 75 MPH when my car started to slow down. I pulled over to the nearby exit into a gas station turn off my car and add more gas and oil into the car. When I turn back on my car I notice that my check engine light was on, got a diagnostics the check engine light code was po840 and po845 codes mean transmission fluid pressure sensor/ switch. Took my car to nissan dealer repair shop they said that my transmission was going out and I need to replace my transmission. Got in contact with nissan consumer affairs they refuse to fix my problem. My nissan is a five year old car with 133000 mile this is the first time I had any major problem with my car. I cannot afford to repair my transmission that cost $ 3600.00 dollars just for the parts not the lobar. I need to know what I can do to get nissan to fix my car for free. I also like to know if anyone else had this problem and what did you do to solve your issues.

In november I was driving on the highway for 30 minutes, next thing I know is that I have no power in the engine. The car would not go higher than 20 miles and the revolutions on the motor were as high as 5,000rpm. I lost control of the car because I could not accelerate and I could not stop the car because the brakes were very hard and unresponsive. I could not move the car, it felt like the car had the brake pedal push all the way with emergency brake, I tried to accelerate but it did not move. Had to tow the car to the nissan dealer service department. After 1 week, the service guys told me the problem was the outpeed speed sensor. After 3 days of using the repaired car, the car did the same thing only this time I almost crashed with another car because I lost control of the car again and the car almost got on fire. From the engine compartment you could see smoke coming out. Had to tow the car again to the nissan dealer service department with no result because they could not replicate problem. The car did the same to me 2 more times and this time the dealer decided to replace the CVT transmission which I have read they have a lot of problems and because of that nissan extended the warranty to 10 year 120k miles. After the transmission was replaced I used the car for about 1 month and the car in february did the same again. No engine power, unresponsive brakes, high RPM and smoke coming out from the engine compartment. Until when will I have to deal with this problem??? When will nissan correct or recall these transmissions, when a life is lost? I took the car more than 4 times before they decided to replace and fix the problem. I'm going back again to nissan, how many times will this time will be? I have lost more than 3 months with this issue and still the car is not working. Nissan does not have a safety recall and don't seem to take seriously the problem.
