I was on a city street. After stopping (I was stopped) at an intersection, I then pressed on the gas to turn left into the lane. At that time, I heard a loud �pop� which startled me. And though the car was in gear (�d�-drive) it would not move forward. I shifted to reverse to see if it would move in that gear. I felt the gear engage and the car did move in reverse. I shifted back to �d�- drive but I did not feel the gear engage nor did the car move forward at all. In addition to the failure of my transmission, I was doubly bothered by the fact that there was never a warning light on the dash to signal a pending or potential problem.
I just purchased this car last year the reason I bought this car because of good gas milage and transmission . I have buying Nissan since 1993 and right now I have 2 altimas 1 Sentra 1 quest every other car is doing good except Sentra I have transmission problem its not changing the gears and ac is not blowing cold air. Please help me out with these issues because I still have 4 more years of payments and knowing Nissan cars they usually go to 200k without major problems.
So many issues not even sure what it is. Car will fail to shift into gear and constant redline, very dangerous when getting on the highway. Car will randomly get no gas to accelerate until I turn the car off and then on again. Transmission slips at 80k miles. Or perceived to be slipping, car will drop rpm and then rise quickly jerking the car around. Going down hill the car will quickly rise rpm over and over and the car will uncontrollably jerk very noticeably.
Update since April - purchased car 10-22-15 inspection and said it was good. In 1-14-2016 car growling/city street. Again inspection and said it was good 6-14-16 car in ,car growling in motion on street. Again tested - good stranded (purchased a jump start) 8-16 2016 stranded in driveway 10-17-17 - twice car went into sport mode,on highway (50/60mph) no one touched anything-hands on wheel! they had car for 12 days and said nothings wrong with the trans. Still happens. . And worse. Trans blows up while driving car. It was awful, had we been going 50/60 we would have been dead. No warning lights- stopped dead and abruptly on city street. Had it towed in they finally admitted it was the trans from the start oct 2015! had to have a re-furbished trans as there was nothing left of this one,(car towed in-would not go into any gear). 1-16-18 car in for loud rattle. They said it was from the transmission being replaced. Straightened the heat plate under the trans. Still rattles 3-15-18 while driving with the new trans. Car went into sport mode on city street, just like before the original trans exploded. 4-29-18 stranded in driveway after driving it 28 miles- the battery was discharging while driving- we've been stranded about 14x's. Took car in -got a loaner. They said it must be an electrical problem and did a parasitic test. Nothing wrong 6-26-18 went into sport mode driving for about 40 seconds -pulled over- shut off motor. 7-26-18 shifted into high gear again on its own while driving. Our hands on the wheel, when driving. The car is acting like it did before the trans was replaced. Their Nissan corporate man said, it must be electrical why we are getting stranded and there is definitely something wrong with the new transmission they put in as it's doing the same thing as originally, before the car exploded and could have killed us.
Tl the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the continuously variable transmission (cvt) failed to change gears. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle was extremely slow to accelerate. Crest Nissan (6600 TX-121, frisco, TX 75034, 1-855-878-7690) diagnosed that the cvt needed to be replaced. The manufacturer indicated that, due to the title being salvaged, the contact would need to replace the part. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 98,200.
While driving the car, it sporadically does not shift gears sometimes causing loss of power and high rpm's jerking the car. This is very unsafe because you never know when it is going to happen. Losing power can cause very unsafe conditions on the road when pulling out into traffic. It seems that when you accelerate rapidly like when going on a highway ramp or accelerating after slowing to make a turn, the car gets stuck in I would say 3rd gear and not shift higher. The rpm's skyrocket and max out, killing the power to the engine. Then you have to come to a complete stop and slowly accelerate hoping that all the gears shift. The car only has 69k miles on it!!!!.
The Nissan Sentra accelerate and decelerate at any giving moment on the city street in motion, at a stop sign highway turning it shakes and jerks when ever in motion the brakes lock up the vehicle rev and the rpm meter surge unexpectedly and without warning none of the warning lights work the vehicle is very dangerous took the car to the Nissan dealer a couple of times they said I needed an oil change got the oil change still didn't help took the car back up there they looked at the car again and said it needed a transmission and I said how no warning lights are on the guy said they want come on until the transmission is gone and the shift lever wont shift in gear without putting an object in the little square hole next to the lever.
The transmission will not come out of gear. Vehicle will start and come out of gear once you hit the gear shift several times. Started the issue last month 09/05/2016. No other incident took place prior. The vehicle was stationary on flat ground in the driveway every time it has taken place. If you put it in park once you finally get it out of park it take about 45 minutes of working with it to get it back out.
