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.
MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY 2015 NISSAN SENTRA WITH A CRACKED, LEAKING SENDING UNIT AT CONNECTOR, PLASTIC MOLD. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE 2015 SENTRA, BUT THERE IS FOR THE 2015 ALTIMA AND 2015 MAXIMA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM--A LEAK FROM THE SENDING UNIT. I FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN CORPORATION ON EIT…

MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY 2015 NISSAN SENTRA WITH A CRACKED, LEAKING SENDING UNIT AT CONNECTOR, PLASTIC MOLD. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE 2015 SENTRA, BUT THERE IS FOR THE 2015 ALTIMA AND 2015 MAXIMA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM--A LEAK FROM THE SENDING UNIT. I FILED A CASE WITH NISSAN CORPORATION ON EITHER JULY 29 OR JULY 30, 2019 BUT AS OF TODAY, AUGUST 20TH, I CANNOT GET THEM TO CALL ME A WORK SO I MAY DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. THE LATEST RUNAROUND WAS A VOICEMAIL LEFT ON MY HOME PHONE TO CALL THEIR ARBITRATION AT 615-725-7670 BUT IT GOES TO A RING/NO/ANSWER. SO I CALL THE MAIN 800-647-7261 ON AN ENDLESS LOOP, NEVER BEING GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS MY CASE WITH ANYONE. THE MAIN CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ANSWERED BY RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL PEOPLE.
WHILE DRIVING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT CHANGED TO GREEN STEPPED ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH NO RESPONSE. BRAKE, OIL AND BATTERY LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NUTRAL AND PUSH VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION. TURNS VEHICLE OFF, ATTEMPTED TO RESTART. VEHICLE TURNS OVER BUT WILL NOT START.
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 IN…

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.
Official recalls
316V242000 · Air Bags:sensor:occupant Classification
Apr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Sentra vehicles manufactured June 4, 2012, to April 9, 2016. The front passenger seat belt bracket may become deformed if it is used to secure a Child Restraint System (CRS). The deformed seat bracket may cause the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to incorrectly classify the installed CRS, resulting in the front passenger air bag to not be turned off as designed when a CRS is in the seat.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the frontal passenger air bag deploys in the event of a crash when a child seat is installed in the front passenger seat, there will be an increased risk of injury to the child in the CRS.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the seat belt bracket as well as reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU), free of charge. The recall began on June 13, 2016. Owners are warned not to install a CRS in the front seat. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
16V244000 · Air Bags:sensor:occupant Classification
Apr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
15V453000 · Latches/locks/linkages
Jul 21, 2015
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured June 9, 2015, to June 10, 2015, and 2015 Nissan Sentra and Versa Note vehicles manufactured June 5, 2015, to June 13, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the driver side front and rear doors may not fully latch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A door that does not fully latch may result in the door opening while the car is moving. The distraction may increase the risk of a crash and/or a vehicle occupant may fall out of the vehicle if they are not wearing a seatbelt, increasing their risk of injury.
Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the date, lot number, and cavity code on the left front and rear door latches, and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
