general problems of the 2015 Nissan Sentra - part 2

Car shuts off while driving on the highway was almost killed.

The car had problems with failing to start and failing to accelerate while driving. Check engine light came on and obd scanner indicated it was the cvt. The car was inspected and repaired in March 2023. In 2025 (the same problem of check engine indicating the cvt) is occurring. Cvt sensor was replaced; however, two weeks later the check engine light is back on indicating cvt issues and is now also overheating.

My 2015 Nissan Sentra has received routine maintenance since I had purchased it new as the original owner. The vehicle was taken to authorized Nissan dealerships for routine maintenance and transmission diagnostic test 50,220mi. During this time the vehicle was within mileage and time warranty per Nissan settlement of the cvt transmission. At the time, the transmission was experiencing surging and falling rpms at or around 2900rpm traveling above 70mph; heavily prevalent at speeds +75mph. I had also mentioned to the technician the problem seems to worsen after driving for duration's when the transmission gets warmer. At lower speeds it would sometimes jerk or 'downshift' rough during accelerations. The dealership had pulled no codes during the diagnostic test, "test drove and could feel a slight trans slip/judder when going uphill especially. No codes present. "(technician) the issues became more prevalent, I felt my safety was definitely at risk on the highway, as well as my car could not be depended upon for longer distant trips especially, became limiting factor. The vehicle was brought back again for routine maintenance and another transmission diagnostic 57,899mi. Surging and jerking issues had worsened. While entering a connecting highway the car had accelerated to 55mph before 'shifting' and the had risen to 4900rpms. Following the incident my vehicle would experience rougher 'downshifts' and jerkier acceleration than before. At this visit to the dealership the transmission diagnostic test pulled a code p17f3-auxillary gear box ratio error. I am currently seeking Nissan motor corporation to remedy my claim with the information presented, affecting my safety, cost of transportation and time to visit the dealership, and the significant lost value of my vehicle with its limited power-train life span of only 57,899mi.

Transmission clutch car stop movement in mist of traffic no warning or check engine light. Went in to Nissan montgomery al charged a cost of $267 not sure what that was supposed to do vehicle worsened. Went back to be told it was transmission clutch. I’m left stranded in montgomery al until it can be repaired and thinking I payed $267 for nothing I explained to the serviceman what it was doing.

Cvt transmission had to be replaced.

My 2015 Nissan Sentra with 86,603 miles, was taken to the dealership service department on 12/26/22, because of faulty acceleration, rpms will rise but vehicle will not accelerate properly and hesitates to go, especially on the highway, causing a serious potential for an accident and crash. There were no warning lamps or messages ever displayed in the vehicle. A technician also drove the vehicle and confirmed the faulty acceleration. The service department scanned the vehicle and found no codes present. I was notified by the service department that an update was available and I was charged $410. 00 for the update. With this update, they found a stored code p17f3. I was told that the cvt transmission was shot and needed replaced. I was quoted $5,500. 00 and told that this transmission was not under any type of warranty due to mileage and date. I have found multiple articles concerning Nissan extending the warranty on some of the cvt transmissions, as well as class action lawsuits against Nissan on the cvt transmissions, and would like to find out how I can be added to the lawsuit. I also contacted Nissan headquarters and they did agree to a 50/50 split.

The cvt (transmission) in the 2015 Nissan Sentra sv failed at 67,000 miles. The vehicle had regular maintenance and had previously had a preventative transmission fluid flush at 45,000 miles. There were no warning lights to indicate a vehicle issue. The car began to hesitate when accelerating and then lost all ability to accelerate while driving at highway speeds. The vehicle was not able to accelerate, which would have endangered myself and others if I had not moved the vehicle to the shoulder of the roadway quickly.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The dealer replaced the transmission. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

When you first take off in the Sentra it hesitates and bogs down while you're going down the road the rpms stay at three to four and it starts jerking and it has lost power and as losing power.

Car lost power, jerky couldn’t move forward, stopped in the middle of the highway.

Vehicle lost transmission power out of nowhere. Would not reverse, nor drive in l gear. I was stuck in the middle of nowhere. I've only had car 45 days. It is at a shop that may or may not fix. I see so many issues and class action stuff. I want and need this fixed.

My daughter was driving down the highway and the vehicle just stopped pulling and started coasting. The car would just idle from then on. Had it towed to a mechanic and he said it needed a transmission. There was no warning lights or service lights on in the vehicle. Loss of power could have resulted in a accident in the middle of traffic.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle stalled upon depression of the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The failure worsened and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle was diagnosed with transmission failure. The dealer was notified of the failure and an appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

My transmission has went out 3 or 4 times now. Nissan has replaced it and the same issue keeps occurring. I was driving in the middle of the intersection and my car just stopped. I had to have people help me push my car out of the way. Nobody would stop and almost hit me and the people helping. There were no warning lights that came on. My car jerked then my car would not increase speed. It would just rev really high then not move.

Common problem is the cvt transmission issues of it slipping or grinding. Was told there’s a recall from Nissan on 2013 to 2017 Sentra of cvt transmissions.

While at a stop sign, the cvt transmission seamed to fail. The car started to shake when I tried to accelerate and then would not move at all while I was stuck in the middle of an intersection. I almost got sandwiched between 2 cars.

While driving, the vehicle’s rpm’s will bounce up and down. When accelerating the vehicle will stutter, transmission slip, or not go when gas pedal is all the way down. This has left me in the middle of intersections when the light is turning red, it’s has had me on one lane roads being unable to move. The vehicle can be in motion and just stop risking an accident. I have had the codes checked due to check engine light being on. Check engine light has not been accurate with readings. From one day to the next the codes will change. After the transmission went out it finally read codes related to the transmission. After making the suggested fixes it still functions the same. Prior to getting code related to the transmission the vehicle indicated that there was something wrong with the fuel system. I have had a certified mechanic look at my vehicle confirming the above. The codes read on multiple occasions and fixing what was suggested has not made any difference.

My vehicles stalled on me on multiple occasions one in particular I was with my family including my two year old daughter. When the car began to violently jerk on the NJ turnpike, total ambarassment ensued and ultimately I had to drive that way for about an hour or so. I had a mechanic from Nissan come to my home and the diagnosis was the tranny was done. Rip to my baby at 115k miles so sad.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission was slipping. The warranty company was contacted and the contact was informed to take the vehicle to a designated independent mechanic. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a failed transmission and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The repair was covered under warranty. The failure reoccurred. The warranty company was contacted and the contact was informed to take the vehicle back to the designated independent mechanic. The vehicle was taken to the independent mechanic, however the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

I bought this car with the understanding that it was in drivable condition with no major problems bought in 2017 now in 2022 there is a problem with the cvt transmission which I have just learned had been in several class action suits I took it to the dealership who only took it for a drive and said they heard a weird noise. Then I was informed it needed the transmission replace at a cost of over $4000 which I don’t have they told me my warranty was expired and the extended warranty given by Nissan was no good either they offered to give me $1000 to buy my car I still owe $9000 on it and then proceeded to try and sell me another car. They didn’t care about me nor my problem. I never got any information about any class action lawsuit. I feel that they were deceptive and hid the truth from me about this defective transmission. I want a replacement with no cost to me. I would not have bought this model if I was told about this major defect.

The transmission in my vehicle is not working and I see there has been a known issue on models from 2013-2017. I would like this repaired, please.

For a while now it jerks or pulls, and it only goes up to 1-2 gears like it doesn't want to accelerate. It doesn't shift gear properly more like transmission issues. There is no power.

The component which has failed is the cvt transmission. It can be available and has been inspected upon request. The safety is for myself, my son, and other drivers on the roads because the transmission could cause hesitation as it did previoiusly without warning while in operation causing a possible collision. The problem has been confirmed by the manufacturer. The component has been inspected by the delaer on behalf of the manufacturer. There were no warning lamps this time because the dealer stated the code found during the diagnostic check indicates the transmission is not communicating with the vehicle computer so that the warning lamp would indicate there is a problem. The transmission was replaced February 2021. However, after only being driven 21, 263 miles this transmission is malfunctioning and is defective.

Transmission malfunction. The car will reduced speed putting me on risk of getting hit in the back and someone colliding with me due the reduction of speed and the slowness of the car to start to gain speed. There was some jerking as gas pedal was pressed down and will slow down and then gain speed before it completely slow down to the point it will not go beyond 40 miles per hour. The car was inspected by the Nissan dealership where the car was bought and transmission is failing internally according to their findings. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealership. There were no warning/message prior to this problem.

On Saturday, 25 Sep 2021, my wife and I departed san clemente, CA, at 3:30 am enroute to idaho falls, id. We were driving my son and daughter-in-law’s 2015 Nissan Sentra with approximately 62,000 miles on the odometer. The car contained my wife and me along with 2 suitcases. At approximately 5:00 am we approached the cajun pass, heading north on i15 north, going 70mph with the cruise control engaged. The crest of cajun pass is approximately 3800 ft and the base of the pass is approximately 1100 ft, thus a rise of 2700 feet in a relatively short distance. As the 2015 Nissan Sentra began to ascend the cajun pass, the engine rpms raised to 3700 rpm, but then the cruise control disengaged and the car lost power. I merged to the right into the truck lane and could only go 30-35 mph. Additionally, the engine rpms would oscillate between 3700-3900, even though my foot maintained a steady pressure on the gas pedal. After we reached the top of cajun pass, i15 north actually descends and the2015 Nissan Sentra could then again be driven at 70-75 mph. For the remainder of trip on i15 north from cajun pass to idaho falls, there are approximately 10 steep grades where trucking lanes are provided. In each and every of those cases, the 2015 Nissan Sentra exhibited the exact symptoms it exhibited on cajun pass – the car lost power, could only be driven at 30-35 mph, and the engine rpms oscillated between 3700-3900 rpm, even though the speed was constant and the gas pedal was depressed with the same pressure. There are literally dozens of additional hills between cajun pass and idaho falls on i15 north where the grade was not steep enough to warrant a truck lane, but there is still a considerable hill. In each and every one of those hills, the 2015 Nissan Sentra was only able to achieve a speed of 50-55 mph, even though the posted speed limit is generally 75 or 80mph. The car was unsafe to drive because most cars on i15 north are going 80-85 mph, which is 30-35 mph faster.

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. The transmission seems to slip. There are no indicators for check engine that has came on prior to these events taking place. Very unsafe driving on the highway when these situations occur. Has had multiple diagnostics done and nothing has been solved.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle would shudder after accelerating and stalled. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who performed a transmission flush and replaced the fluid filters. However, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic and diagnosed as transmission failure. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall related to the failure and to take the vehicle in for diagnosis. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall related to the failure and referred the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the vehicle would hesitate upon depression of the accelerator pedal as the check engine warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic and had the air flow sensor replaced but soon after repair, the failure returned. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to another independent mechanic however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

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.

Cvt transmission problems. Vehicle was jerking, would change shifts, didn't want to go over 20 and then couldn't get it to run. Car turned off on its own at a light. This happened on the freeway putting in danger since dropped speed and had hard time going up bridges. Then it did it in city limits. Stop signs and at lights.

I initially owned a 2014 Nissan Sentra, which was a lemon, Nissan repurchased a 2015. . The transmission went into the car, and car slips gears when driving. I feel complicated unsafe in this vehicle. Please advise.

At 80,000 mile mark car would sputter on highway when accelerating, rpm flaring, engine would rev up on highway when accelerating. Car would also judder. Seems clearly a cvt issue.

Vehicle in motion on highway about 65-70 mph rpm starts going up and down speed starts to decrease as I press to accelerate vehicle starts decreasing speed not wanting to go over 65 mph and rpm continues to fluctuate back and forth from 3rpm to 2 rpm like it wants to go faster but can�t. This has been going on for a week. This morning 2/18/21 stationed waiting on light to change when I pull off the vehicle jerks when proceeding to pull of from stationed position. This happens even in the cruise position.

Faulty cvt transmission. I need them to replace it waiting on corporate to respond. If nothing is down I'll seek a lawyer.
