2016 Nissan Sentra

In 2023, my vehicle experienced a transmission/CVT-related failure that resulted in a loss of propulsion. The vehicle became unable to continue driving and was stopped in Chino Hills, California. A neighbor called the police, and officers responded to the scene, although no police report was filed. The vehicle was subsequently towed to an authorized Nissan dealership, where the transmission/transaxle was replaced. After the replacement, the vehicle later developed a transmission fluid leak. I returned the vehicle to the authorized dealership regarding the leak, and the concern was addressed at no charge. However, the transmission fluid leak has since recurred. An independent repair facility recently inspected the vehicle and observed an active fluid leak around the transmission assembly, as well as an apparent abnormal condition in the transmission area. The exact cause of the current leak has not yet been fully diagnosed and is currently unknown. The condition is available for further inspection. The Check Engine Light is currently illuminated, and the vehicle is unable to pass an emissions inspection. My primary concern is vehicle safety. This vehicle previously experienced an actual loss of propulsion associated with a transmission-related failure and had to be towed. Because the replacement transmission/transaxle is now experiencing a recurring fluid leak and an unresolved condition, I am concerned about the possibility of another transmission-related mechanical failure or loss of propulsion while driving. I am also concerned about potential safety risks associated with continued fluid leakage in the vehicle. The current problem has been observed by an independent repair facility but has not yet received a complete formal diagnosis. To my knowledge, the manufacturer has not inspected the current recurring condition.

Ive took my car to alhambra dealer for a recall and before I did i scared my car with the obd2 to make sure everything was okay witch it scanned no check engine and all green check lights IM REDINESS.. AFTER I PICKED UP MY CAR FROM THE DEALER I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND PARKED IT FOR A WHOLE DAY. THE NEXT DAY MY CAR STARTS THROWING CODES AND NOW MY CAR WONT PASS SMOG BECAUSE THEE DEALER RUINNED MY CAR.

2016 NISSAN SENTRA. When accelerating from red light on major multi lane highway, vehicle lost ability to accelerate and stalled in the middle of the road, brake pedal was difficult to press to stop vehicle rolling, and all vehicle dash lights illuminated. The vehicle was put into neutral and pushed across multiple lanes to the side of the highway. The vehicle was then towed to a Nissan dealership in the area. We were told that the fuel pump needed to be replaced at a cost of $1400. Mileage at time of failure was 51,573. Dealership said the fuel pump should last 100,000 miles.

When trying to accelerate, the car begin shudders and then couldn't jerks. The RPM fluctuates and jumps spastically and today, I couldn't accelerate at all and lost power completely after trying to accelerate at a green light. Car also slowed itself down on the interstate while traveling at 70 mph for a month straight and then would stall again about 15 minutes later going 15 mph in a parking lot. Checked the code the check engine light gave about an over retarded cam shaft sensor, replaced it, and am still having the same issue.

As my vehicle was exiting a major highway, the vehicle began to shake and putter. I was able to put my vehicle in park within 1 minute of this puttering. Once in park, the vehicle began to shake more rapidly and louder. I assumed something terrible was going to happen and shut the car off. After an hour and a half, I started the vehicle back up and not to my surprise experienced the puttering and shaking once again. I put the vehicle in drive and began to slowly step on the gas while turning into the road and the car shut completely off and slid back toward the curb with the engine light on and battery. I had to call AAA to have me towed home and on their arrival, they were able to back the vehicle up and forward as long as he pushed down full throttle. The AAA representative suggested through his knowledge of mechanics that it seems there is an issue with either the spark plugs or the fuel pump/filter combo. After changing the spark plugs and still having this issue tonight....we are leaning towards the pump as the issue. There were no lights or warnings prior to the shaking that began as stated in this entry.

VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH RPMS GOING UP, BUT LOSING POWER, JERKING, AND THEN ON 01-14-21 IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET INTERSECTION AND I ALMOST GOT T-BONED. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY WOULD REVIEW THE WARRANTY ISSUE IF IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SUED FOR. THE MILEAGE WAS 108,000 WHEN IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED FOR JUST UNDER $4000. CALLED NISSAN CORP BACK WHO SENT THE INFO UP FOR REVIEW. ON 01-19-21 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM COLLEEN WHO STATED SHE IS THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY 'HAVE FULFILLED THEIR OBLIGATION'. EACH QUESTION WAS ANSWERED WITH THE SAME VERBATIM RESPONSE. I ASKED TO HAVE THE CASE BE ESCALATED ABOVE COLLEEN DUE TO THE FACT THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD EARLY DUE TO THEIR FAULTY CVT SYSTEM THEY CONTINUE TO SELL AND HAVE NOT RECALLED. AFTER BEING TOLD SHE DOES NOT HAVE A BOSS, COLLEEN STATED THEY WILL GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER AS SHE MAKES THE DECISION AND THEY HAVE MET THEIR OBLIGATION. I ASKED SHE ESCALATE IT ANYWAYS. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM ANYONE ELSE AT THE NISSAN CORP.

MY CAR HAS 92,000 MILES. AS OF 3 DAYS IT'S BEEN ACTING UP I WENT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION. THAT IT WASN'T SENDING ENOUGH SIGNAL TO THE ENGINE TO HAVE MY CAR RUN. WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS IT GOES AROUND 10MPH BUT 2 DAYS AGO IT COMPLETELY STOPPED. AND I GOT A LETTER ON THE MAIL A WHILE BACK THAT IT HAD A RECALL

MY 2016 NISSAN SENTRA HAS ALWAYS SKIPPED SOME, ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO, BUT THE OTHER DAY, WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS, IT WOULDN'T GO. THIS WAS AS I WAS RIDING DOWN THE ROAD. AT TIMES, THE GAS PEDAL WOULD ACCELERATE SOME, BUT THEN THE CAR WOULD START JERKING. TO MAKE IT HOME, I HAD TO ACCELERATE, COAST, TRY THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN, AND COAST SOME MORE. NO ENGINE, OR WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME UP ON THE DASH.
