LETS START WITH THE SMALL STUFF FIRST: THE TRUNK WILL NO LONGER POP OPEN FROM THE BUTTON IN BACK OF THE CAR (ONLY FROM KEY AND INSIDE THE CAR), ALSO WILL TEND TO OPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING WHICH IS A SIGNIFICANT DRIVING HAZARD. THE HANDLE OF THE DRIVER DOOR IS BROKE, NO LONGER CAN I LOCK OR OPEN THE CAR FROM THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. NOW TO THE UNSAFE AND BIGGEST PROBLEM OF ALL: TRANSMISSION/ENGINE ISSUES. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IN THE PAST YEAR MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR! NOT ONLY DID I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT I ALSO HAD MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED (WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY) AND THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES. THIS IS AN ONGOING KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE OF AUTHORITY HAS TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE HAZARDOUS ISSUES. IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE. I HAVE MANY VIDEOS DESCRIBING MY ISSUES ALONG WITH CONVERSATIONS WITH A NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE FROM HEADQUARTERS AND EMPLOYEES FROM THE DEALERSHIPS. I HAVE ALWAYS EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR (EVEN WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE MONTHS OF PURCHASING IT). IT IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO ATTACH DOCUMENTS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE THEY CAN BE SENT!

THE 2ND CVT TRANSMISSION (11 MONTHS OLD) ON DAUGHTER'S 2015 NISSAN SENTRA WENT OUT JUST AFTER SHE GOT OFF THE FREEWAY ABOUT 7PM ON 1/26/2020. TOWED TO LOCAL REPAIR PLACE FOR DIAGNOSTIC; AFTER DIAGNOSTIC, WAS TOLD IT'S A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO DEALER. DEALER SAID THEY CHARGE $150 FOR DEALER DIAGNOSTIC. DEALER HAS HAD SENTRA SINCE 1/27/20. AFTER TALKING WITH DEPT. MGR MIKE ON 2/6/20 (THERE 10 DAYS NOW), SERVICE ADVISOR SAUL SAID THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE TO REPLACE THE 2ND TRANSMISSION WITH A 3RD ONE (1ST TRANS UNDER WARRANTY WAS REPAIRED 2/22/2019 AT COST OF $500+). ON 2/19/20 GOT A CALL FROM DEPT MGR MIKE WHO SAID TRANSMISSION #3 (ONLY 11 MONTHS OLD!) WOULD COST $4,500. THIS IS THREE CVT TRANSMISSIONS ON A FOUR YEAR OLD NISSAN SENTRA. SIGN ON DEALER'S WALL SAYS "REPAIR GUARANTEE FOR 12 MONTHS OR 12,000 MILES, WHICHEVER COMES LAST." NOTE "LAST." THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 11 MONTHS. THEY ARE DANGEROUS!

80,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION BLEW! THIS IS NOT RIGHT. OUR AUTO SHOP TOLD US THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN & OUR TYPE OF VEHICLE INVOLVING THE CVT TRANSMISSION. THIS SHOULD BE A RED FLAG THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING. VERY DANGEROUS. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED INTO OUR LOCAL AUTO SHOP TO FIND OUT THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION! UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING US THAT OUR VEHICLE IS NOT A PART OF THE CHRONIC FACTORY RECALL THAT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH NISSAN FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

WHEN BRAKING FROM HIGH SPEEDS THE CAR SHAKES AND DOES NOT WANT TO STOP. I PUT BOTH OF MY FEET ON THE PEDAL AS HARD AS I CAN. THIS HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY AND NOT ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN JUST DRIVING AROUND TOWN BREAKING IS FINE. NO SHAKE IN THE PEDALS. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A CODE. I ALSO TOOK TO THE MECHANIC ( AFC CERTIFIED). THEY SAID MY PADS ARE AT 60% AND THE ROTORS WERE IN GOOD CONDITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE MAKING A U TURN, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO THE FLOORBOARD. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT STRUCK A PARKED VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DROVE TO A POLICE DEPARTMENT TO FILE A REPORT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ADVANCE AUTO WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM FAILED AND THERE WAS A BRAKE FLUID LEAK. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFT INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE MOVED FORWARD AND STRUCK A WALL AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.
