TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LAG AND HESITATE. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND BEGAN TO DECELERATE. THE CONTACT PARKED AT A FUEL STATION FOR FIVE MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NAPOLI NISSAN (LOCATED AT 688 BRIDGEPORT AVE, MILFORD, CT 06460, (203) 877-5141) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN THE GEARS WERE SHIFTED. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. SUBURBAN NISSAN OF TROY (1800 MAPLELAWN DR, TROY, MI 48084, (248) 649-2300) STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND SUGGESTED TOWING THE VEHICLE TO THEIR FACILITY FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.

I HAVE A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA WITH A FAILED CVT TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE HAPPENED SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY, DOING AND AVERAGE SPED OF 65 MPH. DURING ACCELERATION, THE CAR WILL LURCH AND JUMP FORWARD LIKE IT'S LOSING POWER THAN GAINING IT BACK, IT SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD AND WILL NOT GAIN SPEED UNLESS GOING DOWNHILL. WHILE PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR THE RPMS WILL BOUNCE BETWEEN 2K AND 6K RAPIDLY. THROUGH DOING RESEARCH I FOUND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE, THERE ARE SENTRA OWNERS WHO'S CAR HAS LESS THAN 60K MILES HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

I HAVE GONE THRU 3 TRANSMISSIONS IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS. 1ST WENT OUT AT 33K, 2ND WENT OUT AT 86K, AND THE LAST AT 148K. NISSAN CHARGED ME 800.00 FOR THE 2ND. NISSAN STATES I AM LIABLE FOR ALL CHARGES NOW. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I'VE HAD THE WORK DONE HAS REPLACED OVER 1000 OF THESE TRANNYS. WHY? THEY ARE DEFECTIVE OR AT LEAST AN INFERIOR PRODUCT. A SEARCH OF YOUR SITE HAS GARNERED OVER 100 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PART IN MY YEAR AND MODEL ALONE. NISSAN STATED TO ME THAT IF I REPLACE IT THE WARRANTY WILL BE 12 MO OR 12K MILES. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS PART IS PROPRIETARY TO THE VEHICLE, THERE IS NO OTHER REPLACEMENT PART! SALVAGE YARDS IN LAS VEGAS WILL NOT EVEN CARRY THEM. TO PUT A DIFFERENT TRANNY IN WOULD REQUIRE AN ENGINE AND ECM CHANGE. I ASKED ONE YARD WHAT THEY DO IF THEY GOT A VEHICLE WITH THIS TRANNY AND THEY STATED THAT THEY REMOVE THE TRANNY AND PART THE CAR OUT. IS THIS WHAT I'M FORCED TO DO? THE REALITY OF THIS PART FAILING AT SPEED ON THE HIGHWAY AND GETTING RUN OVER BY A SEMI TRUCK IS VERY REAL WITH DIRE CONSEQUENCES. I IMPLORE YOU TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE QUALITY OF THIS PART AND NISSANS BUSINESS PRACTICES.

IN ADDITION, THE TRANSMISSION WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WEST PALM BEACH NISSAN (3870 W BLUE HERON BLVD, RIVIERA BEACH, FL 33404) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CV JOINT NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, THE GEAR SHIFTER FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTONATION NISSAN KENDALL (305-707-0144, LOCATED AT 17305 S DIXIE HWY, PALMETTO BAY, FL 33157) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW DEC 2015, TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT 68K MILES, NISSAN REPLACED IT IN JAN 2018, AND NOW JUNE 2019 THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN ONLY 1.5 YEARS AFTER THEY REPLACED THE LAST TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS AND 7 MONTHS AND NEEDS IT'S 3RD TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION CAN GO OUT AT ANYTIME, IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED EVERY 1-2 YEARS. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN, WHEN DRIVING ABOVE 60 MPH. IT'S VERY UNSAFE AND IT IS NOT RELIABLE.
