Vehicle lost power and down shifted to first gear and got stuck in it while going 60mph and with traffic all around and behind me. Will not drive or shift out of first gear and transmission must be replaced now. No warning lights ever came on, no warning of it happening, it just slipped down into first and stalled there, wouldn’t go when pressing the gas peddle.

Complaint Information Business Name Conicelli Nissan Person to whom you spoke Gary Rymarowicz Business Address 1200 Ridge Pike Conshohocken, PA 19428 USA Map It Business Phone Number (610) 825-4200 Product or Service Purchased Fuel Pump Date Purchased [XXX] Purchase Price $1078.61 Form of Payment Credit Card Complaint Summary Attached is the documentation proving that I should not have been charged for replacing the recalled part (Fuel Pump) for "PREMATURE FAILURE" on my car. Further, while my 2017 Nissan Sentra was under warranty I had the car serviced by Nissan 309 and then Conicelli Nissan. I informed the Nissan dealers that the car was not running as smoothly as it should and asked them to check for issue(s) with the fuel filter/fuel system. They acted like they had never heard of a problem with the fuel SYSTEM/PUMP and did not check my car for the fuel system issues requested. Instead they told to use Premium Fuel when I noticed the issue. When the car failed to start Conicelli Nissan finally tested the fuel system they said the Fuel Pump needed to be replaced. and I would have to pay, even though there were known problems and Recalls for Nissan Sentra Fuel Pumps for over 20 years!!! The documentation proves that there have problems with Nissan Sentra FUEL PUMP PREMATURE FAILURES for 21 Years including 2017. The Recall Notice states : "If the Fuel Pump fails, the vehicle may stall without warning, increasing the risk of a CRASH" If you need any other documentation let me know. [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] What would you like the business to do to resolve your complaint? Since there were Nissan Sentra Fuel Pumps problems for over 20 years, and they denied there were any issues with Nissan Sentra Fuel Pumps while the car was under Warranty and Recall, full credit for the fuel pump replacement $1,078.61 is required.

Transmission stalled out when I was on the Rt 30 bypass. I was traveling at 55 miles per hour in rush hour and the car suddenly would not go forward. Causing sudden traffic issues. This is a known problem with 2017 sentras. Exton Nissan sold me this vehicle knowing it's unsafe. I've trying to get in touch with them for a month about this. I'm seeking for them to buy back this unsafe and dangerous car

My car would not accelerate or go forward, stalling, shaking and jerking then completely stop in the middle of traffic in NC . I got side swipe and almost rear ended. I received a card in the mail about this bad CVT transmission but now I’m being told it’s too late to do anything. I expect Nissan to stand behind their product!!! I’m not going to keep making payments on a car I can’t drive and I’m sure not able to afford getting it fix myself nor should I have to. [XXX] Thank for help in solving this problem!

When on the highway, my 2017 Nissan Sentra will “lag” when going up hills. The RPMs goes crazy up and down and it’s almost like my vehicle might stall out.

Rpm’s spike up to high levels just to get up to 45/50. I have to let off gas & almost stall out to press gas to try & catch it into higher gear. This happens most the time, but not all. 45/50 but won’t go past 55/60mph, let alone 70-80 on I90/I94. & if it’s really bad then I have to be almost gas to the floor just to maintain any speed once up to 40/45++. Especially higher speeds. & other times O/D kicks in at random times random speeds & then I have to park or EMERGENCY park because reduction of speed won’t stay up, or will not even get to 55/60… I bought this car New March 2017. Maybe 10-20 miles. We had extended warranty. I told them multiple times about the recall & the studdering since a year of owning in 2018. They said they didn’t find anything or that they did the repair. Then during covid we didn’t have funds to have maintenance but about 6 months ago I told them to fix everything do all recalls, do the issues we thought & they agreed & then never did it. Now we aren’t in warranty. We put in 2g of repairs up keep, thought it was low price. But then said ok add in auto start & do the other fluffy stuff. Well… have 9-10 grand left & they wanted to buy it & get us into another 450 car loan. We refused. & repeatedly asked why the recalls & repairs seem to have never been done. & Nissan in crystal lake IL where we have been doing business with for years now claim that the only recall is for the break lights…. & that it’s my fault for doing 60 thousand miles before coming in… during covid… when this has been an issue. Nissan dealership bought, Nissan loan, Nissan warranty. & a solid 6 years at least just to be in a money pit because “no one knows what’s wrong”, it’s the not repairing while I was in warranty telling them the same things. Now I’m not in warranty and they want me to come in to buy a new Nissan from them again, & roll in the remaining balance ☠️ I don’t feel safe with Nissan, let alone hulling my 2 children at/under 4… plus I use that car to work

I"m documenting the scary situations I've experinced with my 2017 nissan sentra sr turbo. On 7/31/17 the vehicle started to stall at an intersection, then came to a complete stop. The engine turned off and I was left without any ability to controll the car. I was able to get it started again trying to make it back home it barely made it at a maximum speed of 10 miles/hr. It had to be towed to a dealer for serviced it was completelly undrivable. They said the battery needed to be replaced. I drove back to work after the repairs. That evening leaving work the same thing happened. Had to call again to have the car towed to the dealer again. The next day I got a call from the service person telling me the alternator had gone out, and that the part would take 2 weeks to come in. Meanwhile I contacted nissan corp. To le them know of the situation and the other various times I'd to bringin the car in for repairs since I purchsed it brand new in 1/14/17 . I told them this car is putting my life and others in danger and that I belived it was a lemmon. A few days later I got a call telling me that my case had been moved up in their priority list, however they did't let me know that this situation was happening to other custormers. Last week I got a call telling me that nissan corp was in no possition to take the car back, but that they were willin to offer me either $1000.00 back or an extended warranty on the car of 100.000 miles/8 years, which at this point I'm not willingto comit to either one.
