2016 nissan sentra driving in the highway especially, I will have the RPM jump from 2 to 4.5 when driving with cruise control on at 73mph, I lose power and drop to 55-60mph. I depress the gas to bring it back up to speed and the car will jerk and shake before I am able to gain a safe speed again. There is times when I have to pull over, rest for a few minutes and restart my car to get to my destination. I had to take my car into a nissan dealership service, my CVT transmission is failing and could stop at any moment, I need to replace it for $4,400. Nissan is not taking responsibility for the defective CVT, the car is 4 years old. I bought it as my most reliable vehicle.

I purchased a used 2016 nissan sentra sv in 2019 at 48k miles - it is currently at 58k miles, nearly to the powertrain expiration at 60k miles. After 4 months of ownership I began experiencing severe CVT transmission issues - I would be driving up the highway and suddenly my transmission would lose complete power causing near-accident conditions on multiple occasions. The car would be in motion, sometimes in cruise control while moving forward. The car jolts back and forth violently. When it loses power it cannot accelerate and typically gets stuck at 45 MPH. This has happened approximately 15-20 times in the duration of my ownership of this vehicle so far. I have taken it in to the service center several times to have it repaired, only to have them state that they cannot duplicate the issue and their computers cannot source a code. I was able to capture this issue on video to help prove that this issue is happening. I sent the video to a technician who then confirmed "yes, there is something wrong with your transmission" only to have them state at the end of another day-long visit to the service center that nothing was wrong with the vehicle.

Car feels like the engine starts and stops continuously and very fast when on highway going 60-75 MPH, and happens more often with cruise control on. The speedometer bounces around like crazy from zero to bouncing pass my speed I'm driving at. This has been going on since I bought the car to currently. I pull over and let it rest, I didn't see complaints in past about this from others until now, so I thought I now must report as well. I didn't know if it was engine, speedometer, fuel related, gas pedal or what, but now realizing it's engine issues due to a recall notice I got in the mail and a civil lawsuit action is currently in the process.

My car started showing a traction control light on the dashboard and my cruise control stopped working. I brought it to the dealer and they told me a brake sensor was bad so they went to fix that but it didnt fix the problem because I had no brake lights. Apparently a wire shorted and reulted in me not having brake lights and the car didnt indicate or warn me I had been driving with no brake lights. They told me the cost to replace the harness was $3000.00 or they could run another wire to replace the bad one for $1000.00 on a 3 year old car that retails for $18000.00 that has 25000 miles on it.
