2014 Nissan Sentra: transmission slipping

Filed Mar 7, 2025 · Transmission · TX

2014 Nissan Sentra. Transmission began inexplicably slipping and failed within a month. 120k miles. Very lightly driven, relatively low mileage car, driven for 2 years by our [XXX] daughter. I see there were relatively widespread recalls on various Nissan Sentra CVT transmissions in this time frame and our VIN isn't included but this is definitely a manufacturer problem. She ended up stuck in the middle of a major intersection unable to move, engine running but no drivetrain, had to call 911 for help. Police pushed her out of the way. Emotionally traumatic situation of course. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Only driven 13,000 miles since replacement and it is slipping and failing again. No major signals or warnings prior to the slipping beginning again. Have had two different shops inspect and confirm transmission is the issue again.

Transmission slipping, hesitating, and lunging. Some times causes sudden acceleration or deceleration, almost causing accidents. Car is also starting to make abnormal sounds from time to time, which started when the transmission issues started. Sometimes the car has even tried to lunge forward when brake is applied in a stopped position. This transmission was already changed once because original owner complained of lack of acceleration. The car only has 50k on it. Taking it to nissan service center this weekend! But I can imagine what I'm going to hear.

The transmission would occasionally slip while in motion during acceleration. When the vehicle was brought into the dealer for an oil change, we brought the issue to their attention. Service department advised that a TCM software update was needed. I located a service campaign bulletin covering TCM reprogram covering 2013 vehicles (sb-10051662-4475). Nissan consumer affairs will not address the 2014 issue at this time.
