While I’m driving it starts to stall. Especially after I press on the breaks and try to press on the gas again it being ins to like jerk and not want to go. I thought it was my suspension or that it needed a wheel alignment but after paying for those to get renewed it’s still having that problem and the mechanic said it was most likely the transmission.

Transmission failure in under 3 years. I replaced my transmission and rear assembly in 2022-23. It started with pressing the gas pedal and the car wouldn’t accelerate while in heavy traffic. I spent over $3,000 on a brand new engine. Come 2024 the exact same problem with the repair price being quoted at around $7,000. There was no hard driving on the car so I don’t understand how it’s going so soon. I’ve never had so much trouble with a car.

I've gone to the Nissan center in Antioch to have the transmission fixed due to a failure on the freeway. Cars Rpms went up and my foot was pressed down on the accelerator. The Center said they fixed it and I shouldn't have issues. 4 years later I'm starting to have the same issues.

Hello I was driving on the highway yesterday when my transmission failed. The car stopped accelerating and would not increase speed despite my foot being on the gas. I was hit several times before navigating to the median. If not for me being calm under pressure my life and the lives of other motorists were at risk. This is unacceptable.

When driving one day my car began to shift into higher and lower gears on its own. I began experiencing my car shifting and losing power randomly while driving. I brought my car to a nissan dealer and was informed that my car was one of many with a faulty CVT Transmission. My car is 6 months and 4,000 miles past the warranty so they cant help me, but im hoping you can help others before someone is killed by their defective car.

Incident

Apr 10, 2022

While driving the car in the city, the car suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. I was stalled in the middle of an intersection to turn left. I was almost hit several times as the light cycles twice and I traffic wouldn't allow me to push the car. After five minutes, this seemed to rectify itself. However, the car started to shudder and a light grinding could be heard when driving. Then the inability to accelerate started again. I immediately took the vehicle to a repair facility. They inspected the car and said I needed to take the car to a dealer as they felt it was a transmission issue and that my car had a terrible reputation with CVT troubles. I took it to a Nissan dealer and when I described the issue they said it would be 3 weeks before I could be seen. I'm still waiting for the appointment date (Dec 20, 2021)

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, HESITATING, AND LUNGING. SOME TIMES CAUSES SUDDEN ACCELERATION OR DECELERATION, ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. CAR IS ALSO STARTING TO MAKE ABNORMAL SOUNDS FROM TIME TO TIME, WHICH STARTED WHEN THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES STARTED. SOMETIMES THE CAR HAS EVEN TRIED TO LUNGE FORWARD WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED IN A STOPPED POSITION. THIS TRANSMISSION WAS ALREADY CHANGED ONCE BECAUSE ORIGINAL OWNER COMPLAINED OF LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE CAR ONLY HAS 50K ON IT. TAKING IT TO NISSAN SERVICE CENTER THIS WEEKEND! BUT I CAN IMAGINE WHAT I'M GOING TO HEAR.

MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA WAS STARTING TO SLIP AS I WAS DRIVING, MIND YOU MY CAR HAS ONLY 113 THOUSAND PLUS MILES ON IT. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AFTER PAYING 140 DOLLARS TO HAVE HAVE THE CODE READ, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION, 31036-9AM2A. THEY SAID IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND GAVE ME THE COSTUMER SERVICE NUMBER TO CALL, WITH A $3600 COST ESTIMATE. AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT DUE TO THE MILEAGE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. AFTER HEARING THIS I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND I FOUND THAT THIS IS INDEED A COMMON ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THEY HAVE EXTENDED SOME WARRANTIES TO 120 THOUSAND MILES OR 5 YEARS HOWEVER I WAS TOLD MY CAR MILEAGE EXCLUDES ME FROM THIS WARRANTY. WHAT YEARS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS WARRANTY. PLEASE HELP.

SHUTTERING, UNEXPECTED POWER SURGES, HESITATION, STALLING, AND OF COURSE LOTS OF BAD NOISES IN GENERAL. I FOUND NUMEROUS NISSAN TRANSMISSION LAWSUITS FILLED REGARDING 2014 SENTRA PRONE TO SHAKING, JERKING, SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTS. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT NEEDS A TRANSMISSION AND THIS VEHICLE HAS A LONG HISTORY OF ISSUES.

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROX. 30 MPH TURNING AT THE END OF AN EXIT RAMP OFF THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN AS IF IT WAS SHIFTED INTO FIRST GEAR AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN BUT COULD ONLY GO 6 MPH WITHOUT JERKING VIOLENTLY. AFTER STOPPING, TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN NUMEROUS TIMES, WAS INTERMITTENTLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO GO FASTER THAN 6 MPH ONLY TO HAVE IT SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN AGAIN, JERKING WITHIN 1-2 MINUTES. IT TOOK ONE AND A HALF HOURS TO TRAVEL 16 MILES BACK HOME. NOT SURE WHATS WRONG...TRANSMISSION, SPEED SENSORS OR OTHER? I'VE GONE ONLINE AND SEEN OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. WHY HASN'T NISSAN BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE? NISSAN NEEDS TO FIX THIS LEMON !

I GOT INTO MY CAR AFTER I HAVE ALREADY TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND GOT THE 1 RECALL FIXED AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS POPPED ON AGAIN! SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THIS CAR WHICH HAS BEEN LITTLE THAN OVER 2 WEEKS IT HAS HAD ISSUE AFTER ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF AND WHILE DRIVE ITS LIKE THERE IS A TURBO ENGINE IN IT BECAUSE IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IT AND SOMETIMES (MOST OF THE TIME) IT ALMOST SEEMS HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES SINCE 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT IN 2018. CAR RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING. CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN I'M PARK AND LEFT IN IDLE SOMETIMES, IT TAKES A LOT TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT IN THE VEHICLE. HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED IN THE BEGINNING OF 2019 THINKING IT WILL FIX IT, BUT THE ISSUE STILL OCCURS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS AND THEY ALL SUGGESTED TO CONTACT NISSAN. I'VE SPENT ALMOST 4,000-6,000 ON REPAIRS WITHIN THE LAST TWO YEARS. ALL RELATED TO THE SAME ISSUE
