general problems of the 2007 Nissan Sentra

Front struts leaking, passenger window sometime want roll up or down, engine timing problem, and now transmission cvt problem. All with end 160,000 miles. How many miles can you get out of a car now days. Guess manufacturers and making throw any car after 100,000 miles. Now it just seating in my yard.

I warmed up my vehicle for approximately 3 minutes and drove as I normally do than as I came to a stop sign and stopped. As I pressed my accelerator pedal the car was off. I checked the rpm and I was at zero (0). My cvt jerks me and passengers and it hesitates and turns off in reverse. This car will cut off regardless if in drive or reverse. The cvt needs to be recalled before an incident occurs that could affect our safety on the road someone help. Please. Nissan needs to recall the faulty cvt transmissions they whine and overheat alot. My cvt warranty was extended to 10yrs 120,000 miles. No more Nissans for me. Or cvt transmissions ever.

While driving on a city street, my 2007 Nissan Sentra lost power three times. All warning signal lights illuminated on the dash each time. I put the car in park and restarted the engine and all warning lights on the dash disappeared. The vehicle drove fine for about another mile or so until it cut off again. . Read more...

The contact owns a 2007 Nissan Sentra. While driving approximately 15 mph, the contact heard a grinding sound coming from the transmission when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The sound would stop once the vehicle reached a certain speed, but continued once the brakes were applied. The failure occurred numerous times at different speeds. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be repaired according to an unknown manufacturer recall. The technician replaced the transmission, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.

Car would not come out of park, no brake lights.

The Nissan cvt transmission should be recalled voluntarily due to a major defect that seems to be causing the transmission to overheat and fail. For the past 3 weeks, my car has been hesitating from a dead stop, which I chalked up to high temperatures and a/c usage. Additionally, the car was whiny when traveling at highway speeds. When the transmission finally gave out, the speedometer and odometer completely stopped working. The car continued to accelerate for a brief period of time, then the rpm's were terribly erratic and the car stopped accelerating all together. The engine compartment had a foul odor coming from it. After allowing the car to sit for about 30 minutes, we proceeded on to a dealership where the problem was diagnosed as a bad transmission. This left us stranded with no car in another state so we had to rent a car to make it home, and will have to travel out of state to retrieve the car when it is fixed, which is approximately 2 weeks because that is how long it will take the dealership to get the part in stock. When I contacted Nissan, I was offered no help. . . Thank goodness the transmission is under warranty, but they made no offer to help us get the car to our home state - basically it was our tough luck. If they would have issued a recall for this defect, this would have never happened. I am posting my experience, along with thousands of other Sentra owners online in as many forums as possible so people can prepare for this problem that will happen with their cars. We will never buy a Nissan again!.

Nissan transmission last just five years before you needs to replace them I was driving on the highway going around 65 to 75 mph when my car started to slow down. I pulled over to the nearby exit into a gas station turn off my car and add more gas and oil into the car. When I turn back on my car I notice that my check engine light was on, got a diagnostics the check engine light code was po840 and po845 codes mean transmission fluid pressure sensor/ switch. Took my car to Nissan dealer repair shop they said that my transmission was going out and I need to replace my transmission. Got in contact with Nissan consumer affairs they refuse to fix my problem. My Nissan is a five year old car with 133000 mile this is the first time I had any major problem with my car. I cannot afford to repair my transmission that cost $ 3600. 00 dollars just for the parts not the lobar. I need to know what I can do to get Nissan to fix my car for free. I also like to know if anyone else had this problem and what did you do to solve your issues.
