2007 Nissan Sentra transmission complaints

The nissan CVT transmission should be recalled voluntarily due to a major defect that seems to be causing the transmission to overheat and fail. For the past 3 weeks, my car has been hesitating from a dead stop, which I chalked up to high temperatures and A/C usage. Additionally, the car was whiny when traveling at highway speeds. When the transmission finally gave out, the speedometer and odometer completely stopped working. The car continued to accelerate for a brief period of time, then the RPM's were terribly erratic and the car stopped accelerating all together. The engine compartment had a foul odor coming from it. After allowing the car to sit for about 30 minutes, we proceeded on to a dealership where the problem was diagnosed as a bad transmission. This left us stranded with no car in another state so we had to rent a car to make it home, and will have to travel out of state to retrieve the car when it is fixed, which is approximately 2 weeks because that is how long it will take the dealership to get the part in stock. When I contacted nissan, I was offered no help... Thank goodness the transmission is under warranty, but they made no offer to help us get the car to our home state - basically it was our tough luck. If they would have issued a recall for this defect, this would have never happened. I am posting my experience, along with thousands of other sentra owners online in as many forums as possible so people can prepare for this problem that will happen with their cars. We will never buy a nissan again!

When I purchased my 2007 nissan sentra I heard a ticking sound under the vehicle took it to the dealer once they said it was normal. It got worse took it again they said nothing was wrong. Now I found out that both of the front axles are leaking grease everywhere only its been awhile now my vehicle is no longer under warranty. What this has caused is the vehicle to shake and the motor mount to crack. Also the brake master cylinder was recalled they replaced it and it is leaking bad one day my brakes failed almost causing an accident had to add brake fluid leaks out every week. Please help me thankyou.
Ctv automatic transmission not responsive when is cold. Transmission does not shift, RPM on vehicle rise up to 5000 and not response. I have a disable daughter that needs medical attention sometimes and needs immediate procedures. Nissan USA has been just evasive with this new technology.
