2016 Nissan Sentra engine complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 48, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The CVT Transmission has a bad shudder while driving and shifting into gears. It jerks when trying to accelerate and is extremely slow trying to accelerate the vehicle. The safety of me and other vehicles were in danger because the vehicle failed to accelerate when going up an incline or just driving down an even lane road with no inclines or hills. The vehicle has been inspected by a certified auto repair shop and after inspection, I was told that the CVT Transmission needs to be replaced. The first instance of trouble happened on June 7th, 2023 while I was driving to work. The check engine light came on and the accelerator was hesitant. The car could barely maintain a safe speed. I was travelling on the highway when this occurred.
My Nissan Sentra 2016 lost power for the first time back in 2020 while driving and i was unable to accelerate properly. I was so concerned because i was driving while the incidents happened. The car was taken to the Nissan dealership for inspection and they said that the transmission was the problem. No repairs were performed. On November 2022 the car suddenly lost power for the second time and i was unable to properly accelerate while driving it on the highway. No warning lamps showed before it failed. They appear after the car losses power.
I have a sentra 2016 that has been from day 1 and brand new has had a shake, judder, stall during sudden acceleration or stop and go stop and go with being jolted forward, usually on the highway. I am always terrified to drive it anywhere. I can't believe there is no recall on this. They need to offer a new transmission for the owners.
It's been 6 months the car started to skeet transmission gear. When driving in highway at 65 to 70 mph the clock of idle start going from 1 up to 4 up and down. I took it to a auto repair and the mechanic stated is the transmission. I've done a research and other people have the same issue. I want to prevent a crash if the transmission goes down and car stop abruptly.

The car would not start.Yes it was inspected at the car repair shop.I have had to jump start the car many times
As my vehicle was exiting a major highway, the vehicle began to shake and putter. I was able to put my vehicle in park within 1 minute of this puttering. Once in park, the vehicle began to shake more rapidly and louder. I assumed something terrible was going to happen and shut the car off. After an hour and a half, I started the vehicle back up and not to my surprise experienced the puttering and shaking once again. I put the vehicle in drive and began to slowly step on the gas while turning into the road and the car shut completely off and slid back toward the curb with the engine light on and battery. I had to call AAA to have me towed home and on their arrival, they were able to back the vehicle up and forward as long as he pushed down full throttle. The AAA representative suggested through his knowledge of mechanics that it seems there is an issue with either the spark plugs or the fuel pump/filter combo. After changing the spark plugs and still having this issue tonight....we are leaning towards the pump as the issue. There were no lights or warnings prior to the shaking that began as stated in this entry.

I want to be reimburse for having to pay to have my transmission replaced. I got my car with 30 something miles on it, bought it off the lot, because I wanted a good car that wouldn't need repairs or break down on me. Come to find out, nissan had a known transmission issue on their cars and was paying for some repairs but because mine was a few miles over the "cut off" number of miles, mine was not covered. I had to pay 3 thousand + dollars to have it fixed, which I didn't have. I needed to get a loan to pay for the repairs on a garbage car that you all knew had transmission issues and agreed to pay for some transmissions but because mine was a few miles over your allowed miles, you did not pay when your the multi million dollar company who made these cars incorrectly!! You can afford to pay for my repairs if you paid for everyone else's transmissions!! I'm a single mother of 6 kids who does not have 3 thousand + dollars laying around for a car that I thought was a good car!!! Please reimburse me especially during these hard times with no money during covid -19. Don't forget your the millionaires with dumb poor people like myself trying to get ahead by buying a car off the lot, thinking they won't have any car issues!!
The engine light popped on and then the car wouldn't accelerate the odometer didn't pass 0mph you have to repeatedly restart the car to even get the car to 20 MPH. When going up a hill the car wouldn't go fast enough so I started to roll back. Got the car scanned and the things that popped up was p0744, p285a, p0715
My car has 92,000 miles. As of 3 days it's been acting up I went to a mechanic and they said I needed to replace my transmission. That it wasn't sending enough signal to the engine to have my car run. When I step on the gas it goes around 10mph but 2 days ago it completely stopped. And I got a letter on the mail a while back that it had a recall

This car is very dangerous, I will be going down the highway and it loses speed for no reason. I try to get it gas and my speed decreases. I have almost been in several accidents due to this scary problem. I've called the dealership and they say nothing is wrong with this vehicle. It's gonna take someone losing there life before nissan will admit this be vehicle needs to be recalled. Will never buy another nissan
The transmission already went out on my car and I just bought it and now having to pay out of pocket expenses for something I shouldn't be having any issues with at this time
The CVT is causing the car to not pickup speed and it's causing a dangerous situation on interstate. I see that this has been a problem before my problem why hasn't a recalled been issued. Also my car is a 2016 nissan sentra that I purchased in baton rouge la after the major flood here I hope I wasnt' sold a car that had water damage
My 2016 nissan sentra is been unsafe to drive, I was taking my daughter to school when I was trying to hit the gas it jumped up almost hit the front car we were behind. Car doesn't go faster then 10mph. I can't believe being a new car I must pay a lot money to fix transmission. I'm a single mother and need this problem fixed please.I can't pick up my kids from school or pick them up from location I meet ex husband to get them on my days of custody. I need my vehicle fixed please
I've had this 2016 nissan sentra for 2 years & 5 months. Today june 29,2019 2:15 pm while driving home on a regular street my car engine just shut down without any warning. While still moving no lights on the dashboard. Steering wheel is is hard to turn after a minute a couple of items lighted up on the dashboatd like check engine light, oil etc... Tried to pull over to the side but the steering wheel was hard to maneuver good thing there were no on coming cars on the road. I waited a vouple minutes then restarted the car & it started. Turned off the radio , aur cpndition & unplugged the charger & drove home without any issues but was scared that it would stop again.
Rpm ramps when speed get up to 75 or higher.
Model 2016 already needs the transmission replaced. Happens often - the dealers even stock it. Will only guarantee the work for one year, as this is a known issue with several class action lawsuits. Car stalls constantly, high and low speeds and must be pushed off the road. Had to tow it to the dealer.
The drivers door handle comes off. The car bucks and loses power,the tachometer needle moves up and down. Rpm sensor?.the brakes (rear drums crunching). I have 3 different bills for the brakes. Im trying to get ahead of this situation with the bucking of my car. Read up on complaints due to trouble with nissan transmission. I don't want to be stuck with back and forth b.s.about who is responsible etc. I own it outright.want it taken care of. Its highway driving when it bucks back and forth and loses power.
Car stalled to a complete stop in the middle of a highway onramp. Car starts but does not get into gear and dies. May be similar to nissan sentra 2016 issue with engine wiring harness. But my car a nissan sentra s 2016 is not included in the recall.
I was driving when my car which is a push to start completely stopped. I try to restart it but couldn't. I looked underneath the hood and the battery was on fire.
