general problems of the 2014 Nissan Sentra - part 1

Cvt problem stopped on highway with kids in car put our life at risk called you all about the extended warranty or help fixing transmission. I was told it’s nothing you all can do because the warranty was expired but there’s a class action lawsuit saying thousands of people are having the same specific problem.

The cvt transmission on this Nissan Sentra vehicle failed at 100,000 miles. Had it failed before 84,000 miles it would have been covered under a warranty. The VIN shows this is a Nissan vehicle that had a known defective cvt transmission. Is there any way I can get repairs paid for by Nissan even though this transmission lasted longer than most of these defective cvt transmissions due to good maintainance?.

Transmission failed, as I went to turn left it stalled and on coming traffic had to slam on there brakes and 6 veh. Ran into each other I dud not get hit but feel so bad that the 2914 Nissan Sentra I drive caused this traffic hazard. 2 people had to go to the hospital. It should be illegal to sell these cars with ctv transmission Nissan sould have to put reg. Transmission in all there veh. Already sold and any to be sold and NHTSA should be fined for not doing your jobs. These vehicles. Are a safety hazard. All [xxx] as much as Nissan information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle ceased to accelerate as intended with an abnormally loud sound coming from the transmission. The vehicle eventually came to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and opened a case. The manufacturer confirmed that the VIN was not under recall and referred the contact to the local dealer for assistance. The dealer was contacted, and an appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 167,000.

Purchased vehicle from car dealership as is. In 1. 5 weeks the cvt transmission went bad.

As I was driving on the interstate, traffic came to a complete stop. When the traffic resumed, approximately 2-3 minutes later, I took my foot off the brake to press the gas pedal and vehicle would not drive. I tried shifting the gears to see if the vehicle was stuck in gear, it was not. My vehicle came to a complete halt in a "kill zone" area of the interstate without any mechanical malfunction warning and this is unsatisfactory. My transmission was replaced in 2020 because of a recall issue and now not even 5 years later, I am having issues with the same transmission. The dealer informed me that the cvt transmissions on my model and others of the same year, are no good. They have several other vehicles waiting for the same repair with the same issues. I truly believe this issue could potentially lead to a life-or-death situation especially with the issue coming out of nowhere. I am requesting that a national recall be issued on the transmissions before some potentially loses their life, such as myself, in a "kill zone" area when the mechanical issue took place. I am looking forward to a swift resolution.

2014 Nissan Sentra. Transmission began inexplicably slipping and failed within a month. 120k miles. Very lightly driven, relatively low mileage car, driven for 2 years by our [xxx] daughter. I see there were relatively widespread recalls on various Nissan Sentra cvt transmissions in this time frame and our VIN isn't included but this is definitely a manufacturer problem. She ended up stuck in the middle of a major intersection unable to move, engine running but no drivetrain, had to call 911 for help. Police pushed her out of the way. Emotionally traumatic situation of course. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Began to have transmission issues several years ago, slipping and eventually could not even accelerate at all. Had to have a full replacement done in February 2023. Only driven 13,000 miles since replacement and it is slipping and failing again. No major signals or warnings prior to the slipping beginning again. Have had two different shops inspect and confirm transmission is the issue again.

I was driving down the highway and my vehicle all of a sudden started sputtering. The speed dropped quickly as a car almost rear ended me. Then it went back to normal so I continued driving and then it did it again and stopped completely. There’s no check engine light on or any other warnings. Had the vehicle towed to firestone and they told me it is the transmission. They said I should call Nissan dealership because my model and year is known for this problem and should be a recall. So I call Nissan and they said yes there is some recalls for that year and model but my VIN number isn’t on recall list. That doesn’t make since to me. Are they installing different transmissions in the same year and model?.

On December 23rd, my 2014 Nissan Sentra lost all acceleration power while driving. The car was then towed to a nearby independent service center where they discovered a faulty transmission. I was made aware of the cvt transmission recall by Nissan and I believe this is the issue with my car. I would like to have my car inspected by an authorized Nissan dealership so that the proper actions can be taken to repair all malfunctions.

Transmission clutches are swollen and would make car loose throttle but I’m not to sure I got everything checked out new throttle busy and all so idk why my car hesitate to get up to speed or looses throttal.

The contact stated that the failure was a recurring failure. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.

Cvt failure. When putting the vehicle in gear, or idling while in gear, engine stalls. When this occurs on roadways, the car may or may not be drivable and puts the occupants of the vehicle as well as other motorists at risk. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. This does not appear to be a wear issue, the vehicle has low mileage and has been properly maintained. There are no warning messages or dashboard indicator lights suggesting a problem.

Defective component is the cvt transmission. Vehicle involuntary non shifting, and stalling. Component was inspected by independent service center. Vehicle has been inspected by deale of any other person besides independent service center. N no system indicator or previous warning was given.

I've gone to the Nissan center in antioch to have the transmission fixed due to a failure on the freeway. Cars rpms went up and my foot was pressed down on the accelerator. The center said they fixed it and I shouldn't have issues. 4 years later I'm starting to have the same issues.

I was driving to work, rpm’s suddenly started to surge. Pulled up to a stop light to get off the road and vehicle stopped in the middle of the intersection and would not move except in reverse. Other vehicles(semis) had to brake hard and go around me. Called Nissan and they said they couldn’t do anything since it is at 120k miles and I feel they are 100% liable since there was a class action for this type of repair.

Car slips and jerks when accelerating at any speed as low as 10 mph. Check engine light came on, code is transmission failure. The code came on before routine maintenance was required. The car was not fixed and should have not had this issue happen.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

Hello I was driving on the highway yesterday when my transmission failed. The car stopped accelerating and would not increase speed despite my foot being on the gas. I was hit several times before navigating to the median. If not for me being calm under pressure my life and the lives of other motorists were at risk. This is unacceptable.

Transmission (cvt) seems to be slipping between or not wanting to change gears. The car will shake, judder, stall during acceleration. If I needed to accelerate suddenly, the car would stall and judder potentially causing an accident. I have a service appointment scheduled with a dealer to investigate. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There there no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The issue first appeared 3/23/23.

Slips when accerating.

While driving rpm needle started going up and down and car stopped accelerating. Had car towed to repair shop to be told the transmission is bad. This could easily have caused an accident. Nissan needs to issue a recall and replace these. All the previous complaints shows an obvious problem.

While driving on the highway and when I try to accelerate in my Nissan Sentra, I've noticed that my transmission was starting to jerk. Because of this, I took my Nissan Sentra to a Nissan service center to get it inspected. The mechanic informed me that my transmission is faulty. I purchased my car in 2014 and only have 68,000 miles on it so I was shocked that my transmission is already having issues. Once I started to research Nissan Sentra cvt transmissions online, I noticed that there were numerous complainants from many consumers regarding this cvt transmission. I was told by the mechanic that I had to replace and fully pay for the transmission which costs $6,500 and Nissan corporate was not going to help in anyway. This is unacceptable that Nissan is selling cars with faulty parts knowing that they will have to be repaired or replaced sooner than anyone can anticipate. It's also very dangerous to drive on these transmissions as they can breakdown any moment, potentially leading to a car accident and bodily injuries. Any Nissan car with this faulty transmission should be recalled. Here are all the links to other consumers filing lawsuits due to this issue: https://knightlawgroup.

When driving one day my car began to shift into higher and lower gears on its own. I began experiencing my car shifting and losing power randomly while driving. I brought my car to a Nissan dealer and was informed that my car was one of many with a faulty cvt transmission. My car is 6 months and 4,000 miles past the warranty so they cant help me, but im hoping you can help others before someone is killed by their defective car.

Subject: 2014 Nissan Sentra transmission Nissan has not recalled the 2014 Nissan Sentra. There are thousands of complaints online and at dealers. My warranty has expired last August 2021 and I only have 53354 milage. The dealer quoted me 4k to fix. I called Nissan corporate and they said they would cover half of cost. This car is not safe to drive it changes speeds without notice and doesn't accelerate. It goes from 65mph to 45mph. This is dangerous on the highway. The dealer and corporate are aware of the danger. Confused at why would I have to pay a dime to fix if they know there are issues with the transmission.

2014 Sentra with 99000 miles. Car would have trouble going forward until reached 25 miles an hour then would excelerate until you got to about 55 and then decelerate to about 20 miles an hour. Almost got hit on major highway because of this. Sent car to garage and after diagnosis had transmission replace. $5200 what is Nissan doing about this. . Nothing. Someone could have been seriously injured!!!.

I was driving my 2014 nisaan Sentra sv and when merging into traffic from the off ramp as I turned and accelerated in that second the car downshifted and accelerated enough to put me in danger due to the oncoming vehicles it then shook and I had the gas pedal depressed completely the vehicle then jerked real hard and would not go thankfully the vehicles that were oncoming seen me with just enough time to almost cause a huge car accident they slowed however you could hear brakes and see people behind the first vehicle swerving due to the sudden stop because of me I was honked at cussed at flipped off someone even threw a drink at my car and it could have been way worse the vehicle would not shift I had to get out in the middle of highway to push my car into a safe zone where I was in danger not to mention I lost my job for the simple fact it was my first day at my new career in johnstown at high country beverage since I purchassed this vehicle on July 3 2021 the dealership sold me a lemon vehicle that absolutely would not pass emissions in which I had to force dealership to re issue my temp tags 3 times due to the failed attemps and they would not give me my money back they had several attemps and chances to fix the issue in which they never did ive spent hundreds of dollars out of my pocket to figure it out and finally Jan 2022 I was able to pass emissions , then shortly after in Feb 2022 the car kept dying out and reading p0101 p0102 code mass air flow sensor and low circut current I spent 400 dollars to fix this issue theres more.

This is 4 years after my first transmission died and was replaced. I couldn’t keep my car speed up in evening traffic, at 65mph, and my rpm’s began to jump back and forth, never steadying. My car jerked so badly I was struggling to control it and several cars had to pass me, going into the lane to the left of me. I had to drive it one more day, tonight, and after 60 minutes of driving, at 70mph on the interstate, when 3/4 of the way home, it began violently jerking again and rpm’s were jumping uncontrollably. Again, I struggled to control the vehicle and had to decelerate by removing my foot from the gas pedal. I had to put my emergency lights on, so other vehicles would hopefully go around me. Almost home, I could barely accelerate after stopping for a red light, then my car dramatically slowed to about 10mph with a tractor trailer approaching behind me, though thankfully, on a less-traveled road, so I had time to pull over, not completely stopping because I was afraid it wouldn’t accelerate at all if I did, from experience with the first transmission. After the truck passed, I slowly managed to make it uphill to the next intersection, where again, once accelerating when I turned, the car began jerking erratically. It never made it above 30mph for the last 3 minutes home. It was late at night and very dark. This car - this transmission issue - is absolutely terrifying. To drive along a consistent speed and suddenly have an out-of-control vehicle, with numerous cars around you while driving 70mph, is terrifying. My last transmission died while driving - had that happened on the dark interstate, no doubt I would have caused an accident. I have a 2. 5 year old amd 15 year old - there is no way I trust this vehicle with them in it. I’m now afraid of my vehicle stopping in the middle of a busy roadway and causing a catastrophic accident just to get it to the dealership 25 minutes away. Death, injury, and/or trauma is waiting. Our children are worth more than this.

Cvt transmission has never been right since the car was nearly new. Shifting was erratic and would slip as it shifted to a higher gear, twice the car lost speed on the highway, motor running and rpm's revving indicating a transmission failure. We had it in to be checked under warranty twice (under 55,000 miles). All they would do is a software upgrade and said there was nothing wrong with it. The problems got worse and we took it to another dealer. They dropped the pan and "checked" for metal shavings. New fluid added and sent on our way again, saying nothing is wrong, that this is normal for a cvt transmission. Obviously no one was going to fix or replace it and all we could do was to continue to drive the vehicle. Now the transmission has failed completely. Rpm's jumping up and down, car jerking, loss of power, we were worried of getting rear ended as we couldn't drive at a continuous speed. We barely made to a relatives house to park it. It has been towed to the dealer again and is being checked out. I cannot believe a recall has never been filed for the cvt transmission in these vehicles. Obviously Nissan is not going to do anything about the problem, even though there are thousands of complaints and a class action lawsuit filed against Nissan for this safety hazard.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle started to rev independently; however, while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to drive to his residence. The contact called the manufacturer and made them aware of the failure and it was suggested that the vehicle be towed to the local dealer. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with TSB: pm562 (power train). The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer but was informed they would not perform TSB: pm562 (power train) repair due to the vehicle not being serviced prior of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 144,000.

Car would shake and stutter in the middle of acceleration. After a stop, my car would hold back and jump before it accelerated again. The rpm meter would also shoot up and the car would begin to pull in the middle of the freeway. Very unsafe.
