I have a 2014 Nissan Sentra the transmission is skipping years and jerking when I was on the freeway are you then put it in cruise control to see if it would stop and it wouldn't then when I was in the city it was still jerking and skipping as well when this starting happening I took the to a mechanic. The mechanic then said the transmission was slipping and I took it to a transmission specialist. The transmission specialist then stated he has four other Nissan is the same model in his shop with the same issue. I then called the dealership and they refused to fix the vehicle under warranty or recall. The Nissan dealership even stated they are having issues with these vehicles but the only extended warranty is on the 2010 and will not fix my vehicle.

39 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2018

This 2014 Nissan Sentra has been in my possession since September 12, 2015. The issue started up on Sunday, July 1, 2018. I noticed the car hesitating and "jerking" whenever I attempted to accelerate above 40 mph to reach highway speed. The problem increased dramatically over the week, and during my commute on Friday, July 6, 2018, my car was resisting accelerating, rpm would jump up and down while attempting to get to highway speeds and acceleration seemed to be the most difficult thing to accomplish. On my way back home from work on Friday July 6, 2018 is when the problem became blatantly dangerous. I ended up experiencing a sudden "drop" in speed on the highway. The car went from 65 mph to 30 mph and refused to go any faster. The rpm did jump dramatically at one point, from barely over 1 rpm leaping up to 7 rmp, though the car's speed did not increase. The car whined loudly when that happened, then it plummeted back down to the barely over 1 rmp. I managed to get the car back up to highway speed on a downhill portion of the highway, and got myself almost to my home. The car ceased to accelerate or even recognize I was pushing on the gas pedal after coming to a complete stop at an intersection 8 blocks from my home. I called my boyfriend who came down to assist a kind neighbor who heard me trying to get my car going by turning it on and back off numerous times to no avail. He thought it "simply needed transmission fluid", as the car sounded like it wanted to go. . . . Just couldn't "catch gears". This gentleman and my boyfriend ended up giving the Nissan a push/running start after I started it back up and put it into drive. Incredibly, this allowed the car to make the last 8 blocks to my driveway, where the car came to a very abrupt, halting stop after putting it into park. Terrified to drive it, my dealership is nearly 100 miles away. . Leaving me sol.

On 5 different occasions my Nissan Sentra has stalled on its own while driving on the highway. I've only had this car for 3 years and my car is very well maintained. I've noticed that the rpm gage looks shaky then the car stalls as if I'm going to break down. This is a big safety concern to me cause this could cause deaths. I drive with my children. Also I've taken it to the dealer and they don't know what is wrong with it.

53 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/10/2014

I was driving on the streets, about to enter the freeway onto south I-880 and I hear a bang. The driver's side window shatters inward. The city of fremont police came and inspected my car and didn't see anything that could've caused it. Incident history# p14101613 date: 12/10/14 time: 1710 hours the next day, my dad went to the Nissan dealership that sold me the brand new 2014 Nissan Sentra back in may of 2014 but the manager on duty said in his 30 years working there, he had never heard of such an incident (spontaneous glass breakage). Then, my dad went to another mechanic and he worked on my window today, 12/19/14 and saw that the metal that is used on my window was slightly bent. This was a manufacturing defect and unsafe for me to drive but the Nissan dealership is unable to help me. I don't feel that I can drive far any more because the metal is not fixed due to the manufacturing defect, I fear that it would happen again. It shouldn't be like that, especially since I bought a brand new car!.

54 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/02/2014

Right after buying my Sentra I noticed creeking everytime I would turn then took it in and they replaced the struts. It still creeked after they replaced the struts so they added rubber rings it helped for a few days but its still creeking but every so often. 2 nd my car pulses when coming to a stop and when I release the break as well. 3rd the is a whisling noise that gets louder the faster I go and if its windy its even louder, it sounds like it is on the front left side. My car also shakes roughly time to time. The dealer is now saying they cant hear anything therefor will not fix any of these issues. I called Nissan USA and opened a case she said the same thing, if they cant duplicate the issue they wont fix it, then I was told to by rep to trade it in if I dont like it.
