general problems of the 2016 Nissan Sentra

While driving car shuts down in traffic!!! cuts off at stop signs!!! cuts off driving up steep roads!!! jerks and jolts forward!!! speeds up and down while gauges fluster!!!! the car slips in and out of gear!!! my life has been in danger since I bought this car… I need the situation taken care of this car is a dear trap and a severe safety hazard!!! this car in whole was recalled I don’t know why Nissan missed my VIN number….

Transmission began slipping in summer of 2023. Recall was already open on car and current when taken to dealership. Dealership refused to service, closed recall as corrected without inspecting the vehicle correctly. Transmission has gotten worse.

My engine light came on I had it checked out and found out it was my mass air flow sensor. Is this a normal problem or is it related to the recall under electrical?.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while pressing the push to start button to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact stated that a message indicating that the vehicle could not read the key fob was displayed; however, the key fob was in her pocket. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who informed the contact that the vehicle battery and the key fob battery were in good condition. The dealer replaced an unknown fuse, and the vehicle restarted; however, the failure recurred two weeks later. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where an unknown fuse was replaced; however, the failure recurred the following day. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that an unknown wiring harness had failed needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

This 2016 Nissan Sentra has parasitic battery draining. There is a great safety issue in not having a ready vehicle for emergency situations. I am also not confident the vehicle will start when away from home. The highest grade agm battery was purchased to replaced the original battery to no avail. The vehicle requires continuous jump starts. Alternator appears to be functioning according to testing.

I was traveling down the road and the vehicle just quit in my travel lane. Check engine indicator traction indicator and triangular exclamation indicator came on at about 35 vehicle did not operate afterward.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, a burning odor was detected coming from the air vents while the air conditioner was activated. The vehicle was taken to two independent mechanics who inspected for a leak and added freon to the air conditioner system; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,102.

My gear shift malfunctions. It is stuck in park and I have to use a screw driver to move the gear shift. Then the gear shift is loose this could cause an accident. I'm doing my best to keep it secure but need it replaced. Also think it has to do with a part u see the brake.

Unknown transmission issues cvt.

My airbags have been turned off and I cannot push the button to reactivate them, also cruise control stopped working and seems to be electri all issue all related.

In the event of an accident this vehicle doors will not open until the key is in the off position and removed from the ignition. You cannot exit the vehicle doors at any time when the motor is running or the key is still in the ignition. Death trap !.

My car is having transmission issues I’ll be driving and it will lose power or the speed limit will decrease makes it very unsafe to drive it will do this out of no where will be on the freeway and it will go from 60 to 15.

The car would not start. Yes it was inspected at the car repair shop. I have had to jump start the car many times.

My car has 92,000 miles. As of 3 days it's been acting up I went to a mechanic and they said I needed to replace my transmission. That it wasn't sending enough signal to the engine to have my car run. When I step on the gas it goes around 10mph but 2 days ago it completely stopped. And I got a letter on the mail a while back that it had a recall.

Vehicle started having issues with rpms going up, but losing power, jerking, and then on 01-14-21 it completely shut down in the middle of a street intersection and I almost got t-boned. I was told by Nissan to take to dealership for diagnostic testing and they would review the warranty issue if it was the transmission failure that they have been sued for. The mileage was 108,000 when it was towed to the dealer because I did not feel safe driving it. Dealership confirmed transmission needs replaced for just under $4000. Called Nissan corp back who sent the info up for review. On 01-19-21 I received a call from colleen who stated she is the district manager and the vehicle is no longer covered under warranty and they �have fulfilled their obligation�. Each question was answered with the same verbatim response. I asked to have the case be escalated above colleen due to the fact the transmission went bad early due to their faulty cvt system they continue to sell and have not recalled. After being told she does not have a boss, colleen stated they will give me the same answer as she makes the decision and they have met their obligation. I asked she escalate it anyways. I have yet to hear from anyone else at the Nissan corp.

While in motion the car jerks and slips gears while driving it has loss of power when accelerating I feel unsafe while driving my car.

Engine refuses to start. Also engine stalls when driven. Car in motion.

I had recently driving a 2016 Nissan Sentra I own. I was driving on an interstate in my area and all of a sudden the car significantly decelerated while stalling to about 30 mile per hour. I immediately pulled over from the right lane onto the shoulder. Thank goodness I was in the right lane and had the shoulder just to my right as traffic was relatively heavy. Candidly I thought I was going to crash the vehicle as I did swerve at about 45 miles per hour. Keep in mind I was traveling at 65 mile per hours. The car is now with woodfield Nissan in schaumburg, IL since Thursday, July 30. The service department informed me I have to replace the electronic control unit (egi). I did not know what this was and that the cost would be almost $3,000. I asked about recalls and was told that there are recalls for this same model year car but my car did not meet Nissan's requirement since the VIN #'s were already identified . I have done my research regarding this known defect with this vehicle. Nissan only agreed to voluntarily recall vehicles during a certain timeframe. I'm not clear why my vehicle VIN#3n1ab7ap5gy268385 is not covered under the recall, I'm experiencing what the recall outlined. I have seen numerous cases reported online. I was able to locate campaign code pm6580. Nissan is not willing to cooperate and assit with the current production issue I'm experiencing. My 2016 Nissan has been at woodfiled Nissan since 7/30 with the harness on backorder. I'm not certain why VIN# was not part of the recall as I'm experiencing the defect in a production environment, while it's a very dangerous production issue. I feel it's unfair and deceptive as a customer that is experiencing a production recall issue. Nissan case # 40810890. Sincerely, asuzena oswald 630-417-9004 jaquezsusy4@gmail. Com car under alex jaquez at dealer or susy oswald.

Unable to start vehicle due to faulty break switch. I tried to push the break and start the car. It doesnt start.

The push button start is very unreliable I have had to have aaa twice for starting problems and towed twice to the Nissan service garqage I thik this is a serious saftey issue I am not comfortable going anyplace and knowing that it may not start after parked it has this problem in parking lots and home garage I am 82 years old and all I wanted was a small dependable care this is not.

When the combination switch is used to actuate the windshield washer, the fluid continues to spray after it is released. Only pulling the switch down, and back up, will cause it to stop. This happens regardless of whether the vehicle is parked, or in motion. Occasionally the washers will spray upon starting the vehicle, only stopping with manipulation of the combination switch.

My car started showing a traction control light on the dashboard and my cruise control stopped working. I brought it to the dealer and they told me a brake sensor was bad so they went to fix that but it didnt fix the problem because I had no brake lights. Apparently a wire shorted and reulted in me not having brake lights and the car didnt indicate or warn me I had been driving with no brake lights. They told me the cost to replace the harness was $3000. 00 or they could run another wire to replace the bad one for $1000. 00 on a 3 year old car that retails for $18000. 00 that has 25000 miles on it.

Model 2016 already needs the transmission replaced. Happens often - the dealers even stock it. Will only guarantee the work for one year, as this is a known issue with several class action lawsuits. Car stalls constantly, high and low speeds and must be pushed off the road. Had to tow it to the dealer.

I was driving when my car which is a push to start completely stopped. I try to restart it but couldn�t. I looked underneath the hood and the battery was on fire.

There's a yellow dashboard light and a red airbag warning light that stays on constantly when operating the vehicle. The lights stay on when there's an adult in the seat, too. Nissan says it's a sign of a faulty OCS and sensors. I just found there was a recall for this and I'm not sure the 1st owners had it checked and fixed. I'm a 2nd owner. Either way, it's a safety issue and extremely important. Similar recall was April 26, 2016 | recall 16v244000.

On my radio, it also has gps & backup camera at least once a week it turns off while I am driving then a few minutes later it turns back on and the radio goes full blast. I am assuming this is an electrical issue. It did it again 12/13/18. I am worried that the electrical for the whole car is going to shut off.

When I get in my car and push the start button everything shuts off locking me inside the vehicle and I can not get out!! luckily I could release the hood if I have someone to let me out. It happened on Tuesday November 27 at 10pm in 20 degree weather. I had a panic attack trying to go from the front seat to back and back to front. I pressed my head so hard against the ceiling that I immediately got a migraine and threw up. Three days later I still have a migraine and throwing up. Should the car lock up like that when losing power.

I purchased my car in 2016 with only 10 miles on it from me driving off with it. I've replaced the battery twice. Ive had my transmission replaced which they didn't want to replace due to low noises it made if I drove over 10 mph. They refused to fix my car for three months because the check engine light wouldn't cut on from the noises it made. Now my car cranks but doesn't start. All maintenance is up to date and my car has 55,000 even today! the battery is now and charged. All cables are tight. I have to get it towed to Nissan to have it inspected.

2016 Nissan Sentra sr (current mileage est. 60,000 miles) the ignition issue on my vehicle has started around 20,000 miles. Normally, the vehicle is in motion on a highway during my commute to and from work (which is 60 miles a day), the slip traction light stays on for days regardless of weather conditions. During this time the acceleration of my vehicle is stalling. A jerking motion as I press the accelerator. A repair was initiated but no to avail, the acceleration is still stalling. There is a fault in the electronic stability system. When the car is stationary, the brake switch acts up and the car can't turn on. The brake gets stiff and I'm unable to turn on the vehicle for 10 -30 minutes. Pushing the ignition button alone, the car will light up and the radio will turn on therefore there is no issue with the battery. The brake switch has been replaced twice in two consecutive months. Currently this issue is occurring with a new brake switch in my vehicle. Also, if my car is parked after an hour or so , I have difficulty turning on the car, brake pedal gets hard and I wait once again until the pedal unlocks. At the gas station, I turned off my vehicle to fill up my tank, five minutes later I'm unable to turn my vehicle on, again brake pedal is hard. All oil changes and recommended maintenance has been performed on my vehicle.

Purchased from Nissan of newnan, in October of 2016 Sentra - while driving the car it started hesitating before picking up any speed from a stopped position, while trying to accelerate, then check engine light came on, pulled over to read the manual and it stated to check the gas cap, it was not on tight so I removed it a placed it back, the check engine light went off. The next day while driving on the highway, when pressing on the gas pedal the engine would rev up but the car starting jerking before gaining to 40 miles per hour, the rmp gauge would zip up to 4 go back to 2 before moving to a higher speed. When the car was parked and turned off, once I started it back up the car would shift into drive, but the car would not move. Had to have it towed to the dealership, the diagnosis was dealing with something electrical and the transmission. Less than 2 years old and less than 100,000 miles. I owned older model for 5 years, over 200,000 miles before I had any problems from the engine or transmission.

My vehicle jerks and makes noise when shifting in gears. The transmission slips and car performance is not like it suppose to do. I have read recalls on the Nissan Sentra and my vehicle is experiencing the issues that are found on other vehicles.

While braking the air conditioning shuts off. The dealer say they have "fixed" the problem twice and then on my 3rd attempt to have it fixed they informed me it is a "normal working condition" they then told me I was to be removed from their survey list because of a potentially bad review and then was told I couldn't bring the car back for this issue anymore.

Car feels like the engine starts and stops continuously and very fast when on highway going 60-75 mph, and happens more often with cruise control on. The speedometer bounces around like crazy from zero to bouncing pass my speed I'm driving at. This has been going on since I bought the car to currently. I pull over and let it rest, I didn't see complaints in past about this from others until now, so I thought I now must report as well. I didn't know if it was engine, speedometer, fuel related, gas pedal or what, but now realizing it's engine issues due to a recall notice I got in the mail and a civil lawsuit action is currently in the process.
