The transmission in my car kept slipping. I would press the gas to try and get the car to accelerate but it would not. The RPM’s kept jumping back and forth causing the car to stutter. After letting it sit for a while it stuttered all the way home. After making it back my check engine light came on and the car would no longer move.
Fuel pump failure at 75k miles. Resulted in vehicle sputtering, then stalling, dashboard lights going out and then turning back on with more than half a tank difference in the fuel reading, and then ran out of gas entirely. Brought to dealership who denied there being an open recalls on the vehicle ever, which is incorrect as I've already had to replace the transmission from a recall. The vehicle is completely unstable and is now also having problems holding brake fluid. Can't fill tank at the gas station either because refueling stops immediately every two seconds after turning on even if you physically hold it there... You continue to have to click it back on because the fuel is not accepted by the vehicle. This car should be recalled entirely. It is unsafe and has stranded me 3 times and repairs have been unreasonable. Nissan must take responsibility and issue recalls that will fix the issues free of charge. As of today I've been asked to invest another $3,000.00 to fix it, but it's worth less than that now.

We were driving and would lose power then going up hill it sounded like something popped off. We wouldn't even roll in neutral. It locked completely up and had to push it to break it free. Our machanic checked the fluid and said it was dark dark.
Throttle body malfunctions after 85,000 miles. Loss of power.
The transmission went out. 2014 manufacture transmission for nissan sentra are defected.
Check engine light came on with a code p0101. I had maf sensor replaced with nissan part and check engine light is still on. Now I am getting a reading for low voltage for the maf sensor. After researching, I have found that this is a very common problem. I now have to take car in to have electrical wiring and computer checked because there is some problem with the car's computer communicating with maf sensor.secondary problem is now the traction light randomly keeps illuminating and car loses acceleration from time to time. Car only has 51,000 miles on it.
When I acelrate it shakes a little
Please reference the federal safety agency issue 11383950 submitted dec 17, 2020. This is another issue related to the prior submitted dec 17th. On dec 26 the engine light came on. The car was taken to the dealer. The dealer asked if we had extended warranty, which we do not, and then took the car in for inspection. That same day we received notification (screenshots attached) that CVT assemply needs to be replaced (est $3800). After looking further online, there are various complaints and recalls regarding this known issue. We were not included in recalls regarding CVT transmission known issues. Please help getting this resolved to our satisfaction.
While the car was been driven, the car was put in reverse to park, there was a loud noise and the car would no longer move.
The car revs high and does not accelerate properly. Also makes rattling noses when going over 55 MPH. Transmission is slipping. Attempted to merge onto highway and vehicle did not get up to speed almost causing a collision
Hi I have 3 issues with my car, it's a 2014 nissan centra, the first issue is the transmission it's really bad I have already too it to a nissan dealership an said they fixed the issue but it's still doing the same thing, when you go to take off from a red light or stop sign it wants to hesitate taking off, it spitting and jerks and the transmission doesn't want to change gears, I have a automatic but it acts like a straight shift so when it hesitates I have to push the gas nor to get it to go but if you mash the gas to hard it will take off fast after it spits, it is very dangerous, I have almost slammed into the back of a few vehicles because of this problem, I have tried to pull out from a side road and a car would be coming an I know I have time to get out but when the transmission wants to act crazy an it starts hesitating to go, I have almost been hit several times. That's not all my other issue is with the air conditioner, this is the 3rd time it has went out in the last year, I went and had it serviced an they said it was the air compressor, I took it to pep boys and the guy that looked at it he told me that he has had 47 nissan centras in the last two months to be serviced for the same reasons, well one day the air conditioning was fine but the next day I went to turn it on and it is blowing nothing but hot air so he checked it and he said the compressor went out again!! The other issue is yesterday I went to get dinner and all of a sudden the engine light came on. And my car doesn't even have 40,000 miles on it yet, I really hope writing to you about these things going wrong will open the nissan company's eyes before someone actually get killed driving one of their cars. Thank you very much!!! For taking the time out of your day to read this. And I hope you can get to the bottom of these issues before someone really gets hurt, all these problems in 3 weeks.
Shuttering, unexpected power surges, hesitation, stalling, and of course lots of bad noises in general. I found numerous nissan transmission lawsuits filled regarding 2014 sentra prone to shaking, jerking, sudden downshifts. I am unable to drive my vehicle and have been told it needs a transmission and this vehicle has a long history of issues.
Cvt transmission stuttering acceleration, reving and slipping
Positive crankcase ventilation valve (pvc) was identified by service advisor and mechanic at the dealership to be a known issue. It is a technical manual update. This causes the car to die and not shift correctly.
I got into my car after I have already took it to the nissan dealer and got the 1 recall fixed and my check engine light has popped on again! Since I have purchased this car which has been little than over 2 weeks it has had issue after issue. When driving the car sometimes it seems like it wants to cut off and while drive its like there is a turbo engine in it because it makes a loud noise when you are driving it and sometimes (most of the time) it almost seems hard to control the car while driving on the hwy.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan sentra. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH uphill, the RPM's revved up however, the vehicle decelerated to 40 mp. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to exceed 40 MPH. The vehicle was taken to local dealer torre nissan located at 2069 79125, ca-111, la quinta, ca 92253, where the technician was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of failure. The failure mileage was 77,060.
On my way to work this morning december 2019 my car going at around 50 MPH stop responding to the gas pedal and I had to quickly pull over in a strip mall so I would not be hit or cause an accident. I had to turn the car off and on again to get going, after that I slowly went to work. This had happened to me on a few occasions already. When I researched it I found out that a lot of people said this is a common occurrence with this year vehicle. This is dangerous.
My 2014 nissan sentra engine cuts off while in driving gear for no reason at all and the engine will cut off while trying to restart the car to drive the vehicle. I was on the highway.
I was sitting in traffic at a red light, when the traffic light turned green I pressed the gas petal to drive and my car immediately began to slow down on its own and it just cut off and all of the lights came on. After waiting a few minutes I was able to restart the car to make it home. Also while driving I could feel the car shaking or vibrating, even when I slowed down or came to a stop at a light it was shaking/vibrating, I don't know what this is. I did have my car serviced last month and the engine light was on and the dealership told me there was nothing wrong and wasn't sure why the light was on. It has been a month and my engine light remains on, and I don't know what to do. I worry when driving because I can't help but wonder if my car is going to cut off again while I'm driving and cause an accident, I also worry every time I feel it shake/vibrate thinking its going to cut off. This is very unsafe and worrisome. I hope this issue can be resolved- not a happy nissan owner right now.
Car stalls when driving in the street or freeway takes a long time to reach 20 MPH and doesn't go past that transmission makes a rattling noise on 09/01/2019 my transmission gave out and needed to have my car towed home
Transmission makes loud noise
I am terrified. Going up a hill my car loses power and I start coasting around 40mph and struggle to maintain the speed of traffic the highest I can go is 60mph. I have nearly been involved in multiple accidents as a result and often have to find a way to squeezes myself into the he truck lane although they still are able to over take me. My car has 50,000 miles and is well kept but it struggles so much going uphill I can feel the whirring and it's like my transmission is struggling to keep up while everyone passes me and tries to avoid colliding with me as a result of my sudden drop in speed. No matter how hard I press the gas nothing happens and I feel unsafe and feel I am a danger to other drivers on the road. This needs to change. This is unacceptable. I heard they attempted to fix the issue but there has to be something more that can be done. Please look into this. You can even borrow my car if you'd like to test this out. I also feel it may cause excessive overheating.
As I was driving at night, my 2014 nissan sentra started to experience sudden jerkiness and issues with RPM's, acceleration problems as well as an unwillingness to change gears. (this is an automatic). As I researched the issue, nissan has issued a recall / extended warranty 7year 100,000 mile for nissans that have the CVT transmission however not all 2014 nissan sentra's with the CVT transmission were included.
This vehicle has had countless sporadic acceleration issues and feel as though it would stall/loose power but it has actually completely stalled on me on 3 occasions. 1st time: I was driving the vehicle at about 10 MPH looking for a parking spot and as I pressed the gas pedal, the vehicle would shudder and would not accelerate and then the engine completely stopped as I was trying to move forward in the parking lot. I had to restart the engine. I took the care to a nissan dealership. The car had approximately 3,300 miles on it. I was told they could not find/recreate the problem and the car did not have a recall. Nothing was done. 2nd time: I was driving straight down a regular street at about 30 MPH and as I tried accelerating, the car started shuddering and again, would not accelerate any more. I had to coast/pull the car over into a nearby neighborhood. 3rd time: I was on the freeway going about 50 MPH when the car would jerk as I pressed the gas pedal, the RPM gage jumped around, and the car would lose power so I had to coast to the side of the freeway. The vehicle came to a complete stop. I restarted the car and tried to accelerate enough to enter the freeway at a safe speed, but would only get to a safe speed after driving the car forward in the emergency lane for a few minutes. Then, after I was able to enter the freeway, the car would lose power again and I would have to coast off to the edge of the freeway away from speeding vehicles. It was night time and visibility was low because it was a unlit highway in the middle of the desert between nevada and arizona. I was lucky not have been hit by a car. I towed the vehicle to a nissan dealership and was informed the CVT transmission need replacing. It cost $4,607.83 (with car rental) to replace. The car had about 77,000 miles at the time. I do not trust this vehicle anymore, even after the replaced transmission. *dt ..*bf
