2015 Nissan Sentra

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

LOSS OF POWER, TRANSMISSION JERKING FLUTTERING VIBRATING AND CLUNKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND STOPPING, RPM SPIKING REAL HIGH AND CAR LOSES POWER AND TRANSMISSION THEN JERKS AND YOU CAN NOT ACCELERATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. TRANSMISSION FLUTTER AND VIBRATE BETWEEN 20 MPH AND 45 MPH WITH SEEM LIKE A SLIGHT POWER LOSS. CAR HAS 56,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN TO NISSAN BUT THEY CAN NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE SINCE IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN IT WANTS OR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A REAL LONG TIME. ALSO WHEN IT'S FIRST STARTED AND DRIVEN THE ENGINE KINDA TICKS WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE. AND MOST RECENTLY TODAY THE CAR LOST POWER COMPLETELY AND THE CHECK ENGINE CAME ON WITH CODE P0101. MASS OVERFLOW SENSOR CODE. NISSAN CLEANED THROTTLE BODY AND REPROGRAMMED ECU. CAR IS STILL EXPERIENCING ALL PROBLEMS ABOVE OTHER THAN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF AND THE CAR HASN'T LOST COMPLETE POWER AGAIN BUT DOES EXPENSIVE SLIGHT/MODERATE POWER LOSS FREQUENTLY. IT WAS FIRST SERVICED AT NISSAN ON 7/3/2018 FOR TRANSMISSION, AND AGAIN TODAY 2/22/19 FOR CODE P0101 WITH POWER LOSS

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE - THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN "TUGGING" AND "STUTTERING" WHEN IT HAD LESS THAN 60,000 MILES I TOOK IN FOR SERVICE BEFORE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED THEY SAID NOTHING WRONG, A FEW MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TO WORK, THE RPMS BEGAN GOING CRAZY AND THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS REALLY STARTING TO HAVE TROUBLE CHANGING GEARS, PULLED OVER AND THE VEHICLE DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE FORWARD OR REVERSE. LEFT IT PARKED AT A GAS STATION NEXT TO MY WORK.

UPON PURCHASING VEHICLE NEW AT DEALERSHIP RAN GOOD FOR FIRST 50000 MILES THEN TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING CRAZY ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND DON'T TURN OFF THEN THE RPMS STARTED JUMPING UP AND DOWN NOT WANTING TO SHIFT GEARS TOOK TO SHOP THEY SAID THEY CONTINUOUSLY HAVE THESE CARS WITH THIS CERTAIN TRANSMISSION CONSTANTLY BREAKING DOWN CAR HAS 70000 MILES ON IT AND I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS AFTER LOOKING UP THESE CARS O ENCOUNTERED MANY PEOPLE WITH MY CARS PROBLEM

VEHICLE STALLED WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO ACCELERATE. 1 MILE BEFORE STALLING IT STARTED TO JUDDER WHEN I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND JERK ME FORWARD WHEN I WOULD EXCELERATE FROM A STOP. I TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE AFTER IT STALLED, SHIFTED TO PARK, AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON AND SHIFTED TO DRIVE IT ACCELERATED, SLOWER THAN USUAL AND I WAS ABLE TO PARK. PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE JUDDERING PROBLEM 7 DAYS AGO AND THEY REPLACED THE CVT CONTROL VALVE.

WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 60 TO 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STARTS TO LOSE POWER/GAIN POWER AND THE RPM GAUGE IS CONSTANTLY GOING UP AND DOWN, THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM (DRIVETIME) I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM FOR THE LAST 2 WEEKS AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE 2 OUT OF 3 SHOPS SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG SO I THEN GOT A VIDEO OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND I SENT IT IN TO THEM LIKE THEY ASKED AND WAITED ANOTHER WEEK JUST FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THE NEXT THING TO DO IS WHAT I TOLD THEM IN THE BEGGING ' CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID' AND THAT THEY COULD REVIEW IT ONCE I SEND IN AN INVOICE. I'VE PAID $2,100 ON THIS CAR IN THE MONTH I HAVE HAD IT DUE TO PROBLEMS AND THE REFUSE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR ANYTHING UNLESS IT'S IN A SHOP GETTING MORE THEN 8 HOURS OF PHYSICAL LABOR. SO MY CAR BEING IN AND OUT OF 3 SHOPS IN A WEEK DOESN'T COUNT FOR ANYTHING.
