2014 Nissan Sentra: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed Dec 12, 2021 · Acceleration · AZ

While driving the car in the city, the car suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. I was stalled in the middle of an intersection to turn left. I was almost hit several times as the light cycles twice and I traffic wouldn't allow me to push the car. After five minutes, this seemed to rectify itself. However, the car started to shudder and a light grinding could be heard when driving. Then the inability to accelerate started again. I immediately took the vehicle to a repair facility. They inspected the car and said I needed to take the car to a dealer as they felt it was a transmission issue and that my car had a terrible reputation with CVT troubles. I took it to a Nissan dealer and when I described the issue they said it would be 3 weeks before I could be seen. I'm still waiting for the appointment date (Dec 20, 2021)

I have had no issues with my transmission up until 1 week ago where it has began to grind as if fly wheel is separated from housing. Also it jerks skips gears and is not staying in idled position.

I have a 2014 nissan sentra that is having transmission problems, I have the CVT transmission that so many consumers are complaining about. I was in an auto accident on oct. 29th 2019 when my car lunged forward and rear ending the car in front of me. I was at a total stop (stationary) and my car lunged forward hitting the car in front of me causing damage to both cars. My car is not safe to drive as it lunges, jerks and RPM go up when idling. I am hearing grinding noises and my car jerks and drags when driving. I had it in the shop about a year ago for clicking noises and gear hard shifting, they covered up the problem and I paid the dealer $116 to lube my gear shift and struts.I still owe $4000 on this car. The nissan dealer wants to charge me $150 for a transmission inspection. I don't have the money, please help me before I get into a serious accident due to a faulty transmission. I believe there is a class action lawsuit for the transmission on 2014. Thank you. Cathy

About a week ago, my car started making noises when idling, which I thought little of because my car only has around 76,000 miles on it and is well taken care of. Over the next few days, the noise became a full-on rattle (like an amplified version of bike gears grinding). When driving, the car will lurch forward and will jerk even harder when turning. Within the first few minutes of driving each time I use the car, it has no power and feels as if it wants to "pull back" and hinder me from moving forward. I've taken the car to two mechanics and have had the transmission looked over. Both mechanics believe that the transmission is the underlying problem. After researching cvc transmissions on other 2014 sentras, I've discovered that many other owners have had the same issue with even less mileage than my own car. Many of these sentra drivers felt unsafe driving their vehicles. I too, feel that continuing to drive my car is a hazard to me and other drivers as the faltering and jerking of the engine are unpredictable which could cause a potential wreck. Nissan sentra transmissions from 2003-2010 have been recalled to the best of my knowledge, but not for the succeeding years of the same model.

The rear brakes started to make grinding sound only going 5mph without applying any brakes. The noise was very loud so we took it to a car shop immediately for them to inspect and they found that the whole driver side rear drum brakes have completely came apart as the passenger side was close to happening to. They do not know how this would happen. We then took car to nissan dealer for them to inspect and for warranty possibilities and they came back saying this is. Not covered as they say this is. Ot a defect and have not had any claims regarding this kind of issue and diagnosis was that the car was driving with e brake on but our mpg hasn't changed in anyway. This is very concerning especially for less than 1 yr old car.

My daughter parked on a slightly inclining driveway and was exiting the vehicle. She heard a grinding noise and the car started rolling backwards. She jumped back in the seat and attempted to stop the car but states " the brakes wouldn't work". The car was off and the keys were in her hand. The car rolled almost 100 feet before her still-open driver's door hit a parked SUV which stopped the car before it rolled out into the street. The door was bent completely backwards and has to be replaced. The car is undriveable until I can get it repaired. I will add that I bought the car 1 month ago with 6651 miles on it. Carfax reported a minor rear end accident that I should have been more wary of!
