2015 Nissan Sentra

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED GEARS WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT RECENTLY, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WAS FILED FOR THE FAILURE THAT WAS EXPERIENCED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR RANDOMLY: TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT FROM LOW GEAR AND THESE EVENTS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. THEY CAN HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES AN HOUR OR IN THE CITY. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR GOES TO LOW GEAR AND STAYS THERE UNTIL I STOP AND TURN THE CAR OFF. ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING AND WILL STAY ON FOR DAYS AND THEN IT GOES AWAY, ONLY TO COME BACK AGAIN SEVERAL DAYS LATER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 2 YEARS, NISSAN MECHANICS ARE AT A LOSS AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO PINPOINT A SOLUTION.

CONSTANT RPM JUMPING EVERY TIME YOU TRY TO DO HIGHWAY SPEED (65 TO 70 ON MY INTERSTATE AND TURNPIKE). THE PROBLEM STARTED AT 42000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO TOM HESSER NISSAN IN DUNMORE PA. THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG BUT THEY NEEDED 4 HRS TO REPROGRAM THE ECM. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME THEY SAY THEY ARE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM BUT THEY REPORT TO NISSAN THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM, EVEN AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR 4 DAYS IN THEIR SHOP. THEY CONSTANTLY SAY NOTHIGN IS WRONG. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ASID THEY WOULD COVER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. WHEN I CONTACTED THEM ABOUT IT, THEY DENIED IT. WAS TOLD THAT I HAVE TO PAY $250 FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT IT BUT THEY WOULD ONLY PUT IN FOR A OUT OF WARRANTY REPLACEMENT IF IT FAILS COMPLETELY. WAS TOLD OUT OF WARRANTY REPLACEMENT CONSISTS OF ME COMING UP WITH $4000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND THEY WOULD WRITE OFF THE LABOR. NISSAN AND TOM HESSER NISSAN PERFORMED BREACH OF CONTRACT UNDER THE WARRANTY BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT PROPERLY ADDRESS THE ISSUE WHILE IT WAS UNDER THE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY. CAR IS STILL GIVING ME ISSUES AFTER 3 YEARS. I REQUESTED THAT NISSAN BUYS BACK THE VEHICLE BUT THEY SAID THEY WILL ONLY GIVE ME $4200 TRADE IN VALUE FOR IT AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OFF THE REMAINING LOAN BALANCE. THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN WOULD NOT HONOR THE BUMPER TO BUMPER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE AND WON'T HELP UNTIL AFTER THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. ON THE HIGHWAY SHE BUCKS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON ANY INCLINE AND REVS FROM 3000RPM TO 5000RPM BACK DOWN THEN UP TO 6000RPM AND THEN GOES INTO A LIMP MODE AND CUTS POWER.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE REVVED REALLY LOUD AND I NOTICED I STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I PRESSED THE GAS BUT MY ENGINE WOULD JUST REV IT WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED. I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED OVER AS THERE WAS QUITE A BIT OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS AFRAID THAT I WOULD BE HIT FROM BEHIND BECAUSE I COULD NO LONGER KEEP UP WITH THE SPEED OF THE TRAFFIC. WHEN I EXITED THE HIGHWAY I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I TURNED OFF HE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND TRIED PUTTING IT IN DRIVE AND IT WOULD NOT GO. I ALSO TRIED PUTTING IT IN REVERSE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED MY ENGINE WOULD JUST REV.
