general problems of the 2015 Nissan Sentra - part 1

Car has 72000 miles in it it has given no indication on dash except cruise control went out. The transmission is slipping and both the front passenger and drivers door handles are messed up up.

I took this vehicle to the dealership, and the dealership said that the transmission needs to be replaced. I sold this car to surburban Chevrolet of ann arbor, but they appear to be selling the car without fixing the transmission. It is not safe to drive this car because the vehicle is jerky and may not change the gear properly in the highway.

See attached document for complaint.

Vehicle began making a whining noise when starting with car in park, accelerating or decelerating. Didn’t seem to drive like normal. I immediately took car to my usual mechanic and was notified it was the cvt transmission and it would need to be replaced. I was made aware of the recall by my mechanic. I contacted Nissan and was told they would not cover it. I’ve kept regular maintenance on my car and it only has 131,000 miles. .

The transmission failed. The car just stopped moving forward while my son was driving in traffic. It was 12:00 in the afternoon on a Friday so local traffic was a bit heavy. Traffic had to go onto the other side of the road creating a hazard. Luckily the car behind was following at a safe distance and was able to stop. There was no previous warnings that this was going to happen. The car had to be towed to a repair shop. The repair shop called Nissan but they said they could not offer any assistance with repairing the transmission even though this is a known problem to them.

The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the transmission solenoids were defective.

When I started the car it sounded like the engine was clicking. I turned it off thinking it may have been from the cold. After restarting the car, the sound did not start again. About 10 minutes into my drive, it started to feel like the the car was shaking each time I braked. About 5 minutes later, it felt like the car was fighting me to accelerate. After I stopped at a red light, it would not accelerate past 20 mph and started dropping as I pulled to the side of the road. It would not accelerate but I could hear the engine revving. No service engine light came on, or any other light. I turned off the car and called aaa to have my car towed to the dealership I purchased the car (piazza Nissan). They did a diagnosis on the car which gave the diagnostic of p2859 and p0746. Upon searching these codes, a recall for Nissan Sentra with manufacture dates of 2013-2017 came up stating cvt judder and transmission issues. I called the dealer to ask about this recall, since they told me I need a new transmission with the cost of $6640. 87. I was told the recall (classification #at19-011, ntb #ntb19-075 https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2019/mc-10167397-0001. Pdf) for this expired in 2022. When asked why I never received a notice about this recall, I was informed they are sent by VIN. When I checked my VIN, no active recalls came up. Clearly, my car is experiencing the same issues as this recall and my vehicle (2015 Nissan Sentra) was manufactured in that time frame. I was lucky I was able to move my vehicle to the side of the road safely without causing as accident. I am deeply annoyed that I was not made aware of this issue that clearly effected my vehicle and could have caused a serious accident had I not been able to pull to the side of the road and thankfully the car behind was not close to me.

Car started acting up on the interstate. Would not shift gears, wouldn't go over a certain amount of speed, almost caused us to be hit multiple times. Finally got it to Nissan west dealership where they did confirm transmission was no good. Nissan west, reworked the transmission instead of giving us a new transmission. Now, over a year and 3 months later, the transmission went out again. Has been confirmed by Nissan west in dickson, TN. The transmission had only a little over 10,000 miles on it. This time I was pulling out onto a busy street when the car out of the blue would not go forwards or backwards. Luckily we did not get hit and we had to push the car out of the middle of the road.

Me and my daughter was pulling out onto a bypass highway and the car wouldn't go anywhere and we were stuck in the middle of the highway with cars coming towards us. So I had to jump out and while it was still in drive I had to push it out of the highway so we wouldn't get hit by the on coming traffic. I finally pushed it fast enough and jumped back into the car and pressed the gas pedal and it caught so I could drive it home and I parked it.

Transmission has went out twice on my vehicle in 3 years. Was wondering if there are underlining transmission issues that Nissan has not informed me on.

While pulling out in an intersection, my car would not accelerate as normal and I was almost hit by incoming traffic. When accelerating from stop, the vehicle moves slowly and hesitates. Once over a certain speed the car will function properly. The cvt is an issue in models 2013-2015 Nissan altima also, but the manufacturer issued an extension for the powertrain warranty. The same should be done for the Sentra. It's a safety concern, because the cvt can go out at any time putting the driver at risk.

While driving my car in traffic my car started to hesitate then it started to slow down on its own I pressed on the gas pedal and it did not move forward at all the speedometer went to zero ,so I quickly turned on my hazard lights and pull over on the side of the road. Thank god I was in the lane close to the shoulder of the road.

Transmission is really bad after even Nissan replaced it doesn’t shift correct, the car jumps, the brakes really doesn’t do well even after they change it. The motor sound is really high. The car doesn’t speed up on the highway to go in front of the right lane, so it puts me in dangerous several times. All documents of complain since 2019 at Nissan petaluma ,CA and now the car at Nissan auto nation las vegas for the second time after they change the transition . Thanks.

Transmission. Up and down idling when accelerating, high rpm but not accelerating in speed, jerking, whining sounds while driving, thumping into gears, bad burning smell, no type of warning lights.

The cvt transmission failed again. It was replaced in Dec 2021 and now it has failed again. The safety of my 19 year old daughter was put at risk being she was 30 minutes away from home and with no prior warning the transmission failed as she was driving it. The car runs great outside of the transmission issues. We had to have the car towed to our local dealership. They did cfm that the transmission failed again. There were no indications that there was something wrong with the transmission. It was not lagging, it was running great. Nissan is fully aware of all the transmission issues they are having and they are not willing to help with the faulty transmission. This will be the 3rd transmission if we pay 6000. 00 to have it repaired for it to fail again in less then 2 years.

The transmission and yes, it is available for inspection. When car stopped, it was in middle of the street and would not move in the drive mode. Only when it was shifted to neutral was it moving. Yes, the problem was confirmed by dealer and it was not inspected by insurance or police. No, there were no warning signals.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving 40 mph, the vehicle hesitated and started overheating. The overheat warning light was illuminated.

The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 90,000. The VIN was not available.

The vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating while driving 10 mph in heavy traffic. The rpm's do not go above 2,000 and no visible failure lights on dashboard are reported. Vehicle has 109k miles and has always been serviced. Mechanic performed inspection and confirmed cvt failure. Replacing the cvt now costs what the car is worth. Makes no sense to repair. Nissan needs to do better.

I just bought a 2015 Nissan Sentra. I have gotten 2 error codes p0101 camshaft position sensor circuit malfunction and c1130 engine signal 1 two times in a span of 4 months. Based on my research, the 'c' error code only occurs because of the 'p' error code, meaning once I resolve the 'p' code then the 'c' code will resolve. In both instances my report, that I got from autozone, suggested to replace my mass air flow sensor(mafs). The first time it occurred I bought a brand new mafs from autozone and installed it in my car using youtubes help. After it was installed, I had a mechanic reprogram my cars computer. The mechanic's exact words were that he "relearned the throttle body values". I did this because he advised me to just to be safe. My check engine light came on recently and when I got the codes read at autozone it was telling me the exact same codes as last time. This is four months later from when I installed the brand new mafs in my car so I highly doubt it is the mafs that is the problem. In my attached pictures, there is another code regarding my transmission that is unrelated to this issue so please ignore it, I'm getting it fixed on my own. I did research online and found that this exact same issue with the 2 error codes I am having is a very common issue with Nissan Sentras in general. Please help and force Nissan to resolve this ongoing issue that many people are having.

The problem is that the transmission on this vehicle had to replaced at 108k miles. This I believe is a known issue with the cvt transmission used in this model. Nissan claims that the warranty was extended to 80k miles or 7 years. I filed a complaint with Nissan complaint # 48661785, but they of course didn’t do anything. This vehicle was purchased new and all services were done at a Nissan dealership. The transmission just stopped while driving.
