Cvt needs to be replaced and car isn't even at 80,000miles
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan sentra. While driving 50 MPH, the vehicle decelerated and shook violently. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was pushed off the road by another driver and the contact powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed, but no failure code was found. The vehicle was not repaired. In addition, while driving, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to coast to the side of the road. The vehicle was pushed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000. The VIN was not available.
I was driving for about 15 miles- I came to a red light- vehicle stopped and the check engine light came on. Turned the ignition off and on - vehicle would move forward an inch and stop again. Vehicle was towed to the mechanic; mechanic said there is a recall and the system needs to be reprogrammed.
"takata recall" my check engine light keeps coming on and off. I've had the sensor replaced once for over $350.00 two years ago. However, now the check engine light has reappeared and went off twice in the past 30 day. I've kept up with maintenance since my initial purchase of the vehicle. Firestone asked me to check with the nissan dealerships to find out if the mass air flow is covered under some sort of warranty before I pay them to perform anything because they see this issue occurring in many nissans they've performed on.
While driving my 2014 nissan sentra (66,000 miles) on the highway, I noticed the rpms started fluctuating, followed by difficulty shifting. I exited the highway and came to a full stop. The car was then unable to accelerate. Putting it in park, turning the engine off and on again allowed me to accelerate and drive to a gas station. I called my mechanic, he said it could be contaminated gas, and directed me to find a nearby autozone, where an employee scanned the car and agreed it was contaminated gas. I purchased seafoam and put it in the gas tank, with assurances that this would clear up the issue but the ride may be 'bumpy'. I decided to finish my drive to new orleans. Upon entering new orleans and shifting to stop and go traffic, it was apparant the issue had not resolved itself. The vehicle was barely accelerating or shifting. It felt very unsafe to drive through an unknown city. The following morning, I brought it to autozone again, this time the scan showed issues with the transmission. I had a technician reboot the computer, but nothing changed. Not knowing the severity of the issue and being 500+ miles from home and my mechanic, I decided to risk the drive back to nashville, having had everyone at the autozone and my mechanic tell me at 66k miles the transmisson should not need to be services. The car was clearly having issues, but I was able to get it to highway speed. I made it to about 200 miles outside of nashville when it simply became too unsafe for me to continue on the highway. I got a tow 200m home, directly to my mechanic. He inspected the transmission the following day and found the transmission fluid was dangerously low with no sign of leakage. After changing the fluid, he determined the transmission needed to be replaced. I took it into carmax, where I has purchased the vehicle just over a year prior. They came to the same conclusion.
On 3 different occasions my 2014 nissan sentra has stalled and started on its own. I noticed that the RPM gage will look jumpy then it feels as the car is shaking then it stalls and within 5 minutes it turns back on. This has happened when at stop light in traffic and while in the drove thru it fast food restaurant. My concerns is im always driving with my kids in the car and what if this occurs when in a situation that can put my children and self in danger.
I bought a 2014 nissan sentra about 2= months ago they said that the CVT and transmission was faulty and they will not repair it and there are a lot of complaints and recalls on this matter. I still owe 12000 on this car and I am not paying 6000 or something I didn't cause. I am paying for a car that I cant drive.
The engine light has been on/off for over a year. I have had it "fix" . Code kept saying massair sensor. Last week I took it in again and they put on an updated clip. And told me the transmission was failing . So I did research and learned that some cars have recalls on this and would be covered til 120,000 miles . They said my VIN was not covered. If this is an universal issues why is it not covered .
Cvt transmission failed, needed replaced after 95,000 miles. The car started shifting hard from a stop and between gears. Four different mechanics, included a nissan technician, all agreed that it was a bad CVT transmission. Nissan technician looked up extended warranty, which was offered on 2007-2010 models, but has not yet been extended to newer models and therefore could not be applied to my car. I just spent $3800 to get the transmission replaced on a 3 1/2 year old car.
While driving the car does not accelerate right, it shifts, it "lulls" it hesitates, I have an issue trying to accelerate fast enough at stop lights and driving on the merge ramps from the highway I drive everyday to work. At times it feels like as shifting gears, it quickly shifts to another gear or like I mentioned above, there is a ""hesitation" between shift gears.
Another car hit me in a frontal collision, while waiting at a light and the airbag never came out.
After starting my engine, shifting my car in drive and moving forward, I hear a weird noise and my car kicks back a little before moving forward. Please help?
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan sentra. While driving 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact turned the vehicle off and restarted it after a period of time. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated while restarting. Planet nissan of las vegas, nevada was contacted and advised the contact to bring the vehicle in to be serviced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 57,000.
Tamara recall I own a 2014 nissan sentra and about a week ago I was driving home from work on the freeway. I was slowing down because there was a construction zone coming up when all of the sudden my engine shuts off in the middle of the freeway. I had no control of the breaks I had to use the e break before I caused a pile up. I have tried to contact nissan but I have had no luck.
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.
First issue happened couple months after I bought it on 12/27/2014 purchased new only 18 miles on it on 5/10/15 I took it in for maintenance because the driver side tire was making a wierd clicking noise when I would stop or turn. Second issue now is the transmission jerking as if slipping running out of gas my car is still in new.condition is barely 2 years old it should not have had all these issues my car was in motion wgen it began to stall on an intersection it was very dark and dangerous on rheir multipoint inspection they stated my fluid levels were good but my transmission fluid was not.it turned out to be empty
Vehicle constantly jerks when driving, stalls and slow to accelerate; transmission replaced with negative results. Problem continues to exist. *tr
Mt vehicle since I bought it with only 3 miles has when coming to a stop start to shake vigorously brought it to the attention when I had my AC compressor replaced at only 50,000 miles , mind you I do drive my vehicle alot 125 miles a day and its all highway but I also maintain it regularly// the vehicle going at 65 miles per hour the other day started to hesitate and rpms started to jump higher and lose power on a main highway during the afternoon in san antonio where traffic is bad I had my little girl and that loss of acceleration and jump /clunk almost caused me to get rear ended by a 18 wheeler which honked at me and scared my little girl// after research on this make and model I have found that there has been numerous complaints in the same regard same issue risking life and safety due to a fault that nissan knows about due to recall they set for 03 - 10 years and models using the CVT transmission now my vehicle is a 2014 and after research see that many consumers are put in the same dangerous situation and have complained only for it to fall on deaf ears. I am now scared to drive a vehilce that I still owe on due to having my 4 year old in with me
Engine stalled while driving vehicle and did not turn back on
While driving 65 MPH with cruise control on, the cruise control cut out and my car started slowing down. I depressed the gas pedal but the car continued to slow down to about 45 MPH, then started slowly gaining speed. After work, I drove home without incident. Next day was foggy so not using cruise control. Vehicle slowed down again from 60 MPH down to about 45 MPH. Also got no response when depressing gas pedal. This time the traction control light on the dashboard came on. Drove home after work without incident. I had gotten the oil changed the day before the first incident happened. I had no previous problems prior to that. The issue seems to have resolved itself as the car is running fine now. If it occurs again, I'll have it checked out.
Tl*the contact owns a 2014 nissan sentra. The contact stated that while driving 70 MPH, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was merged to the side of the road and failed to accelerate until the economy mode was turned off. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The technician was not able to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

My wife's vehicle stall and shake almost like engine will shut, almost on stop on braking. Happened.twice, first at stop light about half mile away from my house, second at gas station about 3 miles away. A/c on.
The injector blew and the modulator went as well when I was driving my car on a busy street I only had this car for 3mo.
At 35 MPH, car lost power decelerating rapidly to 1 MPH. The dashboard lit up with 5-6 warning lights as brakes, engine, skid control, etc. Dealership could not determine problem and had to call nissan for assistance. Car had to be towed.
