There is a known problem by Nissan with the transmission shifting hard and incorrectly and not engaging in gear, resulting in the car driving at high rpms, and belt slipping constantly. I had my tcm reprogramed out of pocket because Nissan wouldn't do it, said my VIN didn't fall in the range of recalls on that problem. The tcm was reprogrammed and now my car is worse. I am a single mom or 2, working 2 jobs 7 days a week. I still owe $11k on my car and I cannot even drive it, nor do I have $4500 for a new transmission. If you look online there is forum after forum of this known problem and Nissan is unwilling to assist customers and they say they have the best customer service. I love my car and I am willing to accept a rebuilt transmission but they are unwilling to help me at all. What do we have to do to make this a recall? it is a known problem on many 2013 - 2014 Nissan Sentra's that around 75k - 100k miles the cvt transmission starts to have issues, and that is exactly what has happened to mine. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
