Transmission crap* reported the issue yesterday with the Sentra going into limp mode at any time without warning dropping from 70 mph to 10 mph. Codes p0744, p1722, p1788 transmission codes. P0744 means you have to buy a whole new torque converter solenoid unit as you cannot just replace the solenoid. Cost of the unit $1,116. 00. The p1788 code is the step motor that is inside the transmission. Aamco will not even rebuild the cvt transmission. They told me cheaper to buy another transmission than to fix this one. Time Nissan is held accountable for cutting corners on their transmissions in order to make profit. They are held accountable for the 2007 - 2010 cars, time to add 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 - ? since cvt transmissions are junk. Daughter Sentra only has 103,000 miles on it and well taken care of. For a car to go into limp mode with no warning is waiting for a fatal crash. Luckily this did not happen to my daughter. Appears the extended warranty Nissan placed on 2007 - 2010 models experiencing the same problems my daughter has with her Sentra. She graduated college and now is faced with a 2000+ bill for a repair since she cannot afford a car payment yet. What a way to welcome someone to the real world after graduating from college 3 days ago.
