While driving on the highway my car would not not go into third gear. The car started jerking and I had lost all acceleration power. I was not sure what was going on because no lights turned on letting me know what was going on. Had to get towed and was told that my transmission went out. There were no warnings or anything about the transmission going out. Nissan really screwed people on this.
My 2014 Nissan Sentra started to experience sudden shaking and issues with rpm's, it wont change gears and acceleration problems. Especially when im at a stoplight, it won't accelerate properly. It makes a wirey sound and it only has 33,000 miles on it. I can barely go past 60 mph and it is a huge safety issue. I researched the problem and came across many others complaining about the same issues.
My transmission has gone out twice since I purchased this vehicle in June 2015. In October 2015, my car wouldn't accelerate. I took it to the local Nissan dealership in which they told me that it was electrical wiring from my tail lights to my brake. 3 months later, my car has the same symptoms. I take it to the local dealership again and they tell me that it's the transmission and eventually, after several weeks of conversing back and forth, they finally agree to replace the transmission after my car won't shift out of first gear on my way home from school, around 10 pm, on the bypass going about 35mph all by myself. It took approximately a month for the car to start being symptomatic, yet again. I take it back and drop it off for about 3 days. They can't find the source of the problem without a service engine light on so they tell me there's nothing to do and they send it back to me. This happens a few times within a couple of months. Several weeks go by with the car still being symptomatic and not shifting gears correctly. The car keeps jumping and won't drive correctly so I finally take it back to Nissan, after calling about the problem and them telling me that nothing can be done until they see a service engine light on the car for it to throw a code. Today, October 3, 2016, I take it back to columbus Nissan and about halfway there, it won't shift. It then wont accelerate once I off of the bypass so I had to literally roll into the parking lot of the Nissan dealership. They then tell me they can't do anything really because the service light isn't on and the service men are at lunch. Tiffany, an employee of columbus Nissan, offers me a ride back to my apartment and to leave me car there for them to look at it after lunch. They later call me and tell me it's my transmission out yet again. They're waiting to hear back from the Nissan USA business.
Transmission is not changing the gears correctly . When driving on a city street or highways and pulling off from a complete stop the vehicle drives off as if it is pulling a load and then when it should be changing in the 2nd or 3rd gear it starts to slip out of gear as if it is going in neutral and then you feel roughness in the changing of gears.
