The 2015 Nissan Sentra sv has issues with stalling during driving, not accelerating over a certain mpr but rpm continues to get higher, and the car seeming to jerk when in drive.

Has had multiple diagnostics done and nothing has been solved.

5 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2021

After getting my transmission serviced, my car started jerking often and lagging on speed from 0-35. Once hitting 40 mph, it would create a loud rev up and a rough kick back. It has stalled out and started up numerous times while sitting in freeway traffic and traffic light controlled intersections to the point that I had to move it and park somewhere safe for 10 mins for it to restart then stall out again a few mins later down the road.

6 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2020

My check engine light came on and code is mass airflow. I have replaced it 5 times as well as had the work done suggested by Nissan for the tbs that has been issued for it. It stalls while I am driving it. Which almost resulted in am accident. The only code that comes up on the scan is for the mass airflow. I have contacted Nissan and was told that they dont know what the problem is bring it to a dealership. I have had it checked and rechecked and fixed and the issue is not going away. With it now stalling as I drive this is now a safety issue. It happened on a route where the speed limit is 50 miles an hour. At this time I not only replaced sensor again but also had a mechanic clean the throttle body and do the other recommendations. The light cleared and 2 weeks later same issue happened.

10 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/22/2019

Lets start with the small stuff first: the trunk will no longer pop open from the button in back of the car (only from key and inside the car), also will tend to open while I am driving which is a significant driving hazard. The handle of the driver door is broke, no longer can I lock or open the car from the button on the door. Now to the unsafe and biggest problem of all: transmission/engine issues. On numerous occasions in the past year my car has stalled out while I was driving the car! not only did I go to the dealership numerous times for the same issue but I also had my transmission replaced (while it was still under warranty) and the problem still continues. This is an ongoing known issue with this vehicle and it should absolutely be recalled immediately. I do not understand why no one of authority has taken responsibility for these hazardous issues. It is completely unsafe and unreliable. I have many videos describing my issues along with conversations with a Nissan representative from headquarters and employees from the dealerships. I have always experienced problems with my car (even within the first couple months of purchasing it). It is not allowing me to attach documents, please let me know where they can be sent!.

13 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2019

Electrical & bluetooth problems with the car: the system shuts itself down & reboots without prompt. The Nissan logo reappears on screen in the same manner that it does when the vehicle is first initiated via keyless start ignition. Three weeks ago, I was driving & the system shut down while I was in transit on the freeway (bw parkway) - headed to baltimore city from bowie city in maryland and rebooted itself. The fear is that the car will shut down one day, not just electronically, but also the engine, which could cause a fatal accident. The second or third day, after I brought the car home, I turned the car on to take it out for a ride, and it shut off on me completely. Each time the system shuts down, the mileage odometer dials back a couple of hundred numbers or sometimes a few numbers. There's no way to tell how many miles are truly on the vehicle. I also do not know for sure if the vehicle was truly inspected by emissions or that they changed my fuel. I also do not know the true condition of this vehicle. I saw some rust under the hood on a few of the screws. I also saw corrosion underneath the driver's side over the brake pedal. I am having problems staying in my lane on the road. When I am driving on the road, the car swerves if there are high winds (suspension on front & rear end alignment appear to be gone). On Friday March 15th in the 5 o'clock pm hour, I almost lost control of the car on the freeway. I opened the sunroof & a gusty wind came down, knocking the car out of its lane. I regained control of the car. I shut the sunroof. This happens no matter what speed I drive. The next problem is with the bluetooth. I attempted to call a relative using the hands free verbal command & it went haywire & began calling random people in my phone. After that, the car rebooted itself again. This problem is new. Research confirms that the dealer has a history.

18 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2016

I have gone multiple times to the Nissan service department because my vehicle will randomly stop shifting gears. It will be stuck in 3rd gear and will stop accelerating. Multiple times I have been on the highway and my car would not go faster than 40mph. I video taped it and showed the mechanic but he said because it wasn't doing it when I took it they couldn't do anything. My check engine light comes on and off randomly also. My car is right out of the manufacturers warranty with 64000 miles. My driver side window is also having problems. The engine is going out. With the issues I am having with accelerating and the gears not shifting I am afraid to drive on the highway because I never know when my car is not going to accelerate.

19 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2016

I had my oil changed @ Nissan of grapevine & they took my car through the car wash with the windows down. Drenching & damaging the inside of the car, seats, floor board, electronics all got wet & no one ever informed me, they tried to cover it up by drying as much of the inside. It was only when we sat in the car & put my purse on the floor board that we realized it. Water was seeping out of the door handles inside the cup holders & arm rest, dashboard, etc. I immediately contacted the service dept. I spoke with asst mgr brett, I also took the car right back to the dealership & there showed the service mgr mark topham how water was pouring out of the bottom of the seats, and throughout the car. The screen on the radio was very dim & the seatbelt light kept flickering on & off, the airbag issue. Mark stuck he apologized & said they will make this right. I also spoke with sam street, sales mgr, who agreed, that they did serious damage to my car & said he would be speaking to owner mr. Johnny cantrell about a new vehicle replacement & have johnny contact me directly. I left the car there & took aa rental car. I received a call from mgr mark topham, next day advising me, that all they are going to do is replace the seat belt because they can't get the seatbelt light to quit flashing & replace the inside bottom cushion of one of the front seat. I advised mark, that they destroyed my new car by water damage & they owe me a new vehicle replacement, especially because they tried to hide the fact & never disclosed it or changed the oil to begin with. He said he would let the owner johnny cantrell know & have him call me. I never received a phone call from the owner johnny cantrell, nor is the company willing to make right what they did wrong. I need help in resolving this issue, please!!!! this should be illegal!!!.
