general problems of the 2008 Nissan Sentra

Driving over an hour and the car starts to struggle, I can feel it loosing power, in order to not press down all the way, I'm doing a give n go praying I dont stop on the freeway. I would sometimes feel jumping and that I'm not in full control and it has stopped on me in a 15minute drive. I have gotten, a diagnostic, 1time it had 4different transmission codes and another a fuel code. Not sure what's going on, this started around the 60,000 mile I'm at 90,000 now, so ya, it's been rough.

On June 20, 2016, I took my car into a Nissan certified dealership to have the transmission redone under the extended warranty that Nissan did for the cvt engine. The car drove fine and then in the beginning of August 2019 just 3 yrs later and 40,00 miles on the new transmission, the transmission is messing up again and we are told that we have to replace the transmission for the second time at our cost. After doing some research I found out that there was a service bulletin sent out to the technician on August 15, 2014 stating that a 2007-2012 Sentra will need a transmission cooler added to the cvt to prevent it from overheating. The Nissan dealership did not put that on our car when we had our transmission redone under their extended warranty in 2016, and now because of their lack of responsibility our transmission is out, and Nissan is not wanting to make it right.

I was driving my 2008 Nissan Sentra and the car would shake out if no where next thing you know it didn't want to accelerate any more it's just stopped and I was driving on a high way.

Slowing approaching stops engine would cut off, it has happened a number of times.

I was operating my vehicle on riverside drive in studio city, California when the vehicle shook abruptily followed a few seconds later with a loud explosion. Debris and oil sprayed onto my hood and I had to nearly avoid an accident as my car was completely out of control. I was able to turn the wheel slightly and pull to the side. It was at this point the vehicle caught fire under the hood and I immediately got out of the vehicle. My father who was following me ran to the nearest gas station in an attempt to calm the flames while I called 911. The vehicle was still on fire when the fire department arrived. Eventually they were able to put the flames out and open the hood. Under the hood you can see a fire starting from the electrical and battery area leading to the engine. The car was deemed a total loss a few days later by my insurance. It appeared the battery overheated.

When my car was coming to a stop, my knee hit the ignition key. The engine turned off though the car gear selector was in "d". The steering also was locked. Fortunately I was stopping the car at the signal. If this happened on the freeway, my family would have been at risk. I understand there was recalls related to this type of situation but Nissan never got in touch with me nor there is no recall. This is very dangerous and Nissan needs to do a recall to save the car driver and passengers.

I was driving and hit a spot of ice and had gone off the road taking out two signs and head on into a tree. I was severely injured and taken to the trauma unit at the hospital. I had a broken femur, shattered knee, broken ankle, broken foot, lacerated liver, punctured lung and broken ribs. My air bag never deployed.

While driving vehicle engine lost power and vehicle slowed. When an attempt was made to determine the cause of the power loss heavy black smoke and flames were observed from the engine compartment. Vehicle became fully involved within 3 minutes. Local fire department responded to extingush fire. Cause undertermined. Fires point of origin was in the area of the ecm/brake master cylinder. Well maintained vehicle, no fluid leaks,mechanical issues or warning lights prior to incident.
