general problems of the 2012 Nissan Sentra - part 2

About half-way through a highway road trip from dallas to houston, my vehicle began automatically decelerating from 85mph to 70mph although my foot pressed hard on the accelerator. I activated cruise control at 70mph, but the vehicle continued to decelerate although cruise control was activated and displayed beneath the speedometer. When the car's speed dropped from 70mph to 60mph on the highway, I took the nearest exit in centerville, texas and stopped at the gas station to turn my car off then on again. The car continued to decelerate, reaching only 45mph as I entered the busy highway yet again. After 15 minutes, the car began accelerating to 60mph. After struggling with the car's speed for about 30 minutes, everything returned to normal and the car began accelerating to 85mph once again.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the gears failed to shift from park into the other gears intermittently. The vehicle was scheduled for an appointment with a dealer (clinton auto group in clinton,IA). The manufacturer was notified of the failure, had two technical service bulletins but no manufacturer recall so the contact was uncertain if the vehicle may be repaired. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.

At 50k miles after four hours driving at 70mph the car lost power, rpm not moving at all when accelerating. At 67k miles, the car lost power again after driving 3 hours, got code p0744 from scanner. Car would only 50-60 mph.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated to move forward while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact and her daughter had taken the vehicle to rocking Nissan of stafford (1 coachman cir, stafford, va 22554) and Nissan of orangeburg (2827 st matthews rd, orangeburg, SC 29118) on two separate occasions and both dealers were unable to diagnose the vehicle. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where he diagnosed the vehicle with a transmission issue linked to the rpm's. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

I stopped at a stop sign and then was not able to move. Tried then going backwards and nothing. I was able to drift forward. However no acceleration. No warning signs, car has been working correctly since purchased. The car is was purchased in Nov of 2011, this happened 3/3/16 less then 65,000 miles. I have the car maintained regularly by only the dealership where I purchased it from brand new. Only issue I have ever had with the car was being advised while maintence that the battery was reading dead in the car so they replaced it. I called the dealership and they said it sounds like a transmission problem and I'm over the 60,000 mile warranty.

I was driving through town and was at a stop light when my car would not accelerate at all. No warning signs. No check engine light. It just wouldn't go. Took my car to the Nissan dealer and was advised the transmission has to be replaced. Nissan refuses to assist with any of the cost. It's an automatic cvt transmission.

The gear on my car would not shift into "park" when I parked in a parking spot after driving around the city for 20 minutes. I shifted the gear into neutral then tried again but it still wouldn't work. After struggling for 7 minutes, I reversed out of the spot then drove the car around the parking lot and attempted to park the car again but the gear still wouldn't shift into park. After struggling and growing concerned and frustrated 5 minutes later, I repeated the process but the car still wouldn't shift into park. Ten minutes later the gear finally shifted into park when I parked the car again. The key cannot be removed from the ignition of a 2012 Nissan Sentra unless the car is in "park" and turned off.

Was driving on freeway, accelerating toward 70 mph. Accelerator dropped away from under my foot, tachometer "pegged" 5000 rpm. Quick scan of instrument panel showed car was now in neutral, not drive. My hands were both on the steering wheel; I didn't touch the gearshift lever. The car shifted on its own. This started a series of problems with the transmission that continue to escalate; transmission will override braking (caused 2 accidents 2 weeks apart); on a 500-mile (1-way) business trip in July, car went into fail-safe mode 3 times - loss of power, accelerator non-functional. Car taken off the road by Nissan corp, but no repairs done; after 49 days out of service, car was released to me, continues to exhibit transmission problems. Now the steering is extremely hard to operate, as if there's no power steering in the car. When transmission overrides brakes, it feels like the car is being pushed, then chokes down (nose of car dips), then is catapulted in the same direction (d or r); in this sequence, brakes fully applied will not stop the car. Nissan's only response is to self-protect against a lawsuit; no concern for the welfare of someone driving a car in this condition!.

During acceleration the vehicle makes a loud clunk that is not only heard but felt on the floor under your feet.

Summer 2013 ,whille driving on the freeway at 60mph, some tire debris off an 18 wheeler trucktire was on my lane,, to avoid hitting it and or the vehicles next to me I looked into my rear view mirror to check for cars behind me and made a sudden slow down, but not a complete stop,,I pressed the gas pedal to go around the debris and the engine revved up, but the car did ot move. . It took the cvt transmission several seconds to catch up to the engine, before the car started to move again. . I told a service manager at ipoc Nissan dealer in san antonio about this and he seemed to brush it aside, stating those things happens with cvt's. . What? . What the dealer did find was an engine oil leak between the transmission and engine,,you can't really see the oil leak, but the fact that dust collects around it indicated and the rest of the underside is cleaner. . The dealer had to remove the transmission, parts connected to it,,front axle etc. . The flywheel to replace a defective rear engine main oil seal. . This was at about 7000 niles into this new Nissan Sentra. Also I have made countless complaints to Nissan and it's dealer of the horrible knocking from the engine (2. 0) on start ups. And somewhat gets quieter after warmup, but is still present at about 2000 rpm and up. . Nissan has time after time refuses to accept that they have a mechanical product defect, instead they claim the knocking is coming from their fuel injectors, to the abs brakes systems,,to the trunk lid. . These are the excuses they have told me. I would not like to pass on these problems to some other person if I get rid of this new car,,what I woud like Nissan to do is make good on their product, thier advertising on tv, radio, and other media is deceiving and Nissan is trying to avoid having to fix their problems. The problem with the stop and go on the cvt happened again and I reported it to the dealer.

I have the same complaints as the following: date complaint filed: 09/05/2012 component(s): power train , structure date of incident: 08/09/2012 NHTSA id number: 10473871 date complaint filed: 01/18/2012 component(s): power train , service brakes, hydraulic , suspension date of incident: 01/12/2012 NHTSA id number: 10444380.
