Transmission failure while driving
When I'm driving sometimes it's as though there is sluggish changing into gears.it's like it winds out too far as though it has transmission problems.this mainly happens when I'm getting up speed.nothing bad has happened yet.
Was on a 5-lane highway (speed limit: 50mph) and could not accelerate effectively. The car began to violently surge and the engine began intermittent reving. Luckily, traffic was light and I was able to navigate without causing an accident. Upon starting from a light, the engine lagged trying to accelerate like it had no power. Then it revved to redline without any acceleration. Acceleration control was now completely gone on a 40mph road. Thankfully, I made it to a two lane road out of traffic when it happened and coasted approximately a half mile home. Car was towed to the dealership with 62,000 miles on it. They advised the CVT not repairable and needed replacement as they found pieces of the drive belt and washers present in the transmission pan. They said the factory warranty was 5-years/60,000 miles and would not assist. Contacted nissan consumer affairs. They declined to assist stating they would not help because it was out of warranty, preowned and they could not locate service records. The dealership now wants $3,800 to replace the CVT. This is a dangerous problem nissan knows about and will not assist. It causes an immediate loss of acceleration control and near stationary traffic impedance.
While driving in evening interstate traffic, the vehicle started revving up. Rpm indicator would surge to anywhere between 2 and 6 and vehicle would suddenly accelerate. After attempting to slow vehicle down by braking, car hesitated and had very low power. It felt as if it would cut off. It did not cut off. Car was parked overnight and then towed to dealership. Dealership stated that the CVT valve needed replacing. When pressed, stated reasons for this component going out was unknown and they were unaware of any other issues related to this particular problem. Failure mileage 39724. After part replacement (under power-train warranty) car was driven approximately an hour on city roads before experiencing problems again. Problems, while driving, included RPM surging to 6, with rapid acceleration and then major decrease in power. At stoplight, car felt as if it had cut off. Gas pedal had to be depressed fully to the floor in order to move from stopped position (at stoplight). Vehicle's sudden acceleration and decrease in power is a safety hazard while both interstate and city driving. Rapid acceleration and loose of power could cause an accident. Vehicle will be taken to dealership in the morning and a second complaint will be filed once they have gotten back to me.
Hello! I am the owner of nissan sentra, I have to report a problem to you, my 2014 sentra (VIN: [xxx]) has problems. Today (august 2,2017) 1:05 pm, when I drove out from the school parking lot, the gear shift rod is drive, but the car is back, and all the dashboard lights are lit up. I confirmed that in the drive once again, the car is still backwards. My classmate [xxx] had seen all, he suggested me turn off the engine, and re-start, the car return to normal. I am so worried about that if the problem in the driving, may cause a terrible car crash, I am scare ,I have no dare to drive this car, I hope you can investigate clearly. Thank you!

When a transmission on this car (nissan sentra ) broke down on me it locks up where you can no longer move . It happened to me on a freeway and almost caused a major and if not a deadly accident on the freeway the car will then shake and it doesn't allow you to move out of the way.
Transmission was replaced under warranty. New transmission has a continuous issue with a trans axle leak that is "repaired" at every dealer oil change. Vehicle now out of warranty. Trans axle leak remains which makes it unsafe to drive.
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
The transmission had a catastrophic transmission failure after 25 months of ownership and 82,000 miles. Car is undriveable. My tow truck driver said he sees this all the time with nissan's CVT transmission failures. Nissan declined to provide assistance with the cost of repairs because my car was 22,000 miles past the limited powertrain warranty, and because this year sentra is not part of any current transmission recall. It is my hope to call attention to a product that might need to be recalled, as it is my understanding this is a common issue with these vehicles. Consumers who buy nissan sentras are often budget-minded, and a repair that exceeds $4,000 is not expected at 2 years of ownership, nor should it be.
I am part of a b17 sentra (2013-2015) owners page. The amount of people who need replacement CVT is outrageous. Examples include one needing replacement at 9k miles, and a second at 24k miles. Another example is one owner needed one at 28k miles and another at 52k miles. The failure percentage is out of control and nissan does nothing to rectify it past the short warranty. These issues should not be this prevalent in such new cars.
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
My transmission has gone out twice since I purchased this vehicle in june 2015. In october 2015, my car wouldn't accelerate. I took it to the local nissan dealership in which they told me that it was electrical wiring from my tail lights to my brake. 3 months later, my car has the same symptoms. I take it to the local dealership again and they tell me that it's the transmission and eventually, after several weeks of conversing back and forth, they finally agree to replace the transmission after my car won't shift out of first gear on my way home from school, around 10 pm, on the bypass going about 35mph all by myself. It took approximately a month for the car to start being symptomatic, yet again. I take it back and drop it off for about 3 days. They can't find the source of the problem without a service engine light on so they tell me there's nothing to do and they send it back to me. This happens a few times within a couple of months. Several weeks go by with the car still being symptomatic and not shifting gears correctly. The car keeps jumping and won't drive correctly so I finally take it back to nissan, after calling about the problem and them telling me that nothing can be done until they see a service engine light on the car for it to throw a code. Today, october 3, 2016, I take it back to columbus nissan and about halfway there, it won't shift. It then wont accelerate once I off of the bypass so I had to literally roll into the parking lot of the nissan dealership. They then tell me they can't do anything really because the service light isn't on and the service men are at lunch. Tiffany, an employee of columbus nissan, offers me a ride back to my apartment and to leave me car there for them to look at it after lunch. They later call me and tell me it's my transmission out yet again. They're waiting to hear back from the nissan USA business.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan sentra. While depressing the accelerator pedal at 55 MPH, the vehicle failed to respond and stalled. The check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle overheated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the CVT failed and needed to be replaced along with the seal o ring, the trans axle, the core return, and the pen cotter. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred two additional times. The vehicle was repaired both times. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 20,183...updated 10/04/16 *bf
The transmission failed when starting from a stop at a traffic light in city traffic at 67000 miles. The replacement failed under the same conditions at 69000 miles.
My 2014 nissan sentra has issues with acceleration. At various times even with the accelerator full pushed down, the car will not accelerate and will eventually slow to under 20 MPH even on a flat surface. Nissan has repaired the issue once, but now will not respond to my correspondence in regards to the issue, now the car is out of warranty and is having the same issue, I have less than 45k on the car. In addition, the tails lights are retaining moisture, I have read that this may be causing a short in the electrical system and may be the cause of the problem. I am afraid to drive the car and it is now parked in my driveway. This has happened multiple times and the problem still remains unresolved. Mileage at the first incident is approximate, but it did happen less than a year after purchasing the car new.
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.
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!
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan sentra. When the vehicle was started or while driving various speeds, it shook intermittently. The failure recurred four times.
