Because many owners commonly drive 20,000 miles/year or more, Sentra owners experiencing CVT transmission problems may find they are not covered by this settlement due to the mileage limitation.

While in motion my vehicle is jerking and stalling. This is not safe especially when you're doing about 55 mph. This has been going on for a few months. I am not sure what the issue is but I see there are others with the same complaint and they are saying its the transmission. If it is then Nissan needs to take responsibility and something has to be done!
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.
Transmission issue when coming to a yield to take off again the car stalls makes a grounding noise. Then it takes off. You have to come to a complete stop first so that it doesn't hesitate. Does this when turning from yielding.
Cvt transmission is slipping causing delays to power while driving the vehicle, delays to engage when accelerating, vigorous shaking when idling as well as while driving.
Transmission...I paid back in 5/24/19 for the tranmission recontroid...the guarante I got it was only 90 days after 5/24/19...& the transmission started to failed on 1/4/20...I drove it the next day to work & the transmission gave up on me on the highway
Car's transmission was replaced in March of 2018. I have been informed by the Nissan dealership that the transmission needs to be replaced again. The transmission that was replaced, the first time, is no longer covered by the warranty. I expressed concerns that no vehicle which is serviced regularly should require another transmission in a year and a half.
I purchased a 2014 Nissan Sentra and within 6 months the transmission suddenly went out. It started acting funny on my way out of town to an appt. And within 2 hours exited the interstate and was unable to move off the ramp due to transmission going out. Press the gas pedal and nothing happened no raving or RPM movement nothing. Finally I shut her off for about 5 minutes restarted put her in drive and she jerked and lunged across intersection. She then threw the engine light on for transmission issues. Prior to stopping and lunging not so much as a light had come on. The car acted like it had gotten bad gas a time or two but otherwise no warning or anything prior.
I have a 2014 Nissan Sentra sv. Last week at just over 100K miles my transmission went out on my car. I have the cvt transmission and my car has always been well taken care of. Nissan claims the transmission ian out of warranty. When my transmission went out I was going 65mph on the freeway and my car completely stopped. There is so much jerking and tugging. It is a safety risk and Nissan needs to take responsibility for the defect on the cvt in these cars. They now want almost $4000 for a new transmission to be put in which will most likely still be defective.
My brake system has unknown problem. I had a mechanic replace all brake componets including pad rotors shoes drums ect. And I still pedal fade and unreliable braking when appling brakes. This happens at various speeds and conditions
My car is a 2014 Nissan Sentra and is slipping do to problem with transmission also vibrates alot shakes to much when I accelerate it feels like its loosing power.
My complaint seems to be the same as everyone else with this vehicle....a faulty transmission! I just don't understand how Nissan isn't replacing their faulty equipment! of course as we are just out of the warranty, it is not their problem! my husband was driving the car on the highway and had to get off since the car would no longer accelerate over 40mph. The rmp gauge would go but the car wouldn't! it is very disappointing to know that Nissan isn't being held more accountable for such a massive error in their manufacturing.
I have a 2014 Nissan Sentra the transmission is skipping years and jerking when I was on the freeway are you then put it in cruise control to see if it would stop and it wouldn't then when I was in the city it was still jerking and skipping as well when this starting happening I took the to a mechanic. The mechanic then said the transmission was slipping and I took it to a transmission specialist. The transmission specialist then stated he has four other Nissan is the same model in his shop with the same issue. I then called the dealership and they refused to fix the vehicle under warranty or recall. The Nissan dealership even stated they are having issues with these vehicles but the only extended warranty is on the 2010 and will not fix my vehicle.
Gas gauge is not working you can fill the gas all the way up and the gauge doesn't go on the full bar it just fills up to 3/4. then the gas miles will say 340 then next thing you know it says 280 then drive a little more it goes to 320. The A/C doesn't work as much as you fix it and for the A/C to blow cool the gas has to be filled up all the way.
This 2014 Nissan Sentra has been in my possession since September 12, 2015. The issue started up on Sunday, July 1, 2018. I noticed the car hesitating and "jerking" whenever I attempted to accelerate above 40 mph to reach highway speed. The problem increased dramatically over the week, and during my commute on Friday, July 6, 2018, my car was resisting accelerating, RPM would jump up and down while attempting to get to highway speeds and acceleration seemed to be the most difficult thing to accomplish. On my way back home from work on Friday July 6, 2018 is when the problem became blatantly dangerous. I ended up experiencing a sudden "drop" in speed on the highway. The car went from 65 mph to 30 mph and refused to go any faster. The RPM did jump dramatically at one point, from barely over 1 RPM leaping up to 7 rmp, though the car's speed did not increase. The car whined loudly when that happened, then it plummeted back down to the barely over 1 rmp. I managed to get the car back up to highway speed on a downhill portion of the highway, and got myself almost to my home. The car ceased to accelerate or even recognize I was pushing on the gas pedal after coming to a complete stop at an intersection 8 blocks from my home. I called my boyfriend who came down to assist a kind neighbor who heard me trying to get my car going by turning it on and back off numerous times to no avail. He thought it "simply needed transmission fluid", as the car sounded like it wanted to go....just couldn't "catch gears". this gentleman and my boyfriend ended up giving the Nissan a push/running start after I started it back up and put it into drive. Incredibly, this allowed the car to make the last 8 blocks to my driveway, where the car came to a very abrupt, halting stop after putting it into park. Terrified to drive it, my dealership is nearly 100 miles away..leaving me sol.
On 5 different occasions my Nissan Sentra has stalled on its own while driving on the highway. I've only had this car for 3 years and my car is very well maintained. I've noticed that the RPM gage looks shaky then the car stalls as if I'm going to break down. This is a big safety concern to me cause this could cause deaths. I drive with my children. Also I've taken it to the dealer and they don't know what is wrong with it.
