2019 Nissan Sentra: sudden loss of power

Filed Jun 1, 2024 · Acceleration, Engine · IL

Just had transmission fluid changed, now car is jerking and has no response to acceleration pedal. With car in park and gas pedal pushed down the RPM's don't move. Losing power going up a small incline RPM's drop to 500 and speed drops from 55 to 30mph. No codes from scanning but check engine light is on. Nissan has no idea what is going on.

CVT. The safety issue is losing power when driving. Almost stalls. My safety in jeopardy when you have traffic including semi trucks coming from behind.

When driving at speeds above 70 mph, the RPM’s start to surge. Going from 2.5 RPMs to 5 RPMs without any acceleration in speed from the driver. I have video of it when the cruise control was being used and the rpms surged and fell back. The fuel efficiency screen also shows a decrease in efficiency when the rpms go up. Have also had a loss of power when trying to pass and tried to increased speed - yet the engine surged/faltered. It happens every time I exceed 70 mph. I picked the date when I have video of this occurring. However, it happens whenever I exceed 70mph.

I just bought my 2019 sentra 4/20/2020. I was driving on the freeway from los angeles to san diego & I felt like my car was pulling back, the gas was draining so fast, the RPM was going back and fourth, the MPH wasn't accurate with what I felt I was actually driving, if I drive over 40mph the car will wobble, not accelerating correctly, I got a full diagnostic done no codes showed up, nissan said I needed to reset the system, so they reset it, the acceleration still won't pick up, and I feel the front of the car dropped! Nissan service department says the diagnosis isn't showing any codes and they are not sure what is going on I'm afraid I will lose control of the vehicle if it's shaking side to side, I'm afraid it will stop accelerating randomly, transmission will go out while I'm on the highway & nissan still can't find the reason to why the car is doing that. They have no answers and this can cause serious injuries to myself or other drivers even passengers. My nissan is losing power, not accelerating correctly, I'm losing gas fast, and nissan can't find any code or anything wrong with the car !

I was coasting towards the traffic light wanting to make a left hand turn when the light turned yellow and I was already past the point where I could back up. I had to hit the gas pedal to make the turn in a quick fashion and beat the oncoming traffic. The car just puttered along and I almost got hit by the oncoming traffic. It seems like the CVT transmission gets disengaged when the car is coasting at low speeds (5-10 MPH) and there is a loss of power to the wheels when I hit the gas pedal again. Rpm is 3000 and the car still doesn't move quickly enough to get out of that dangerous situation. The reason I believe that the transmission is the culprit is because when I stop at a light or stop sign and I barely come to a stop and I hit the gas pedal again, it makes a jerking motion, like the transmission didn't downshift to 1st like it is suppose to, it gets stuck in the high gear and when I hit the gas pedal it downshifts hard. I have to stop a few feet away from the light and then release the brake a little in order for it to downshift to 1st.
