We bought a 2016 Nissan Sentra in March of 2018. I took it in complaining of a whining noise a few months after having it and was told because they don't see or feel anything there is nothing to be done. Now in November the cvt transmission needs replaced. It punches when you go to take off, feels like it is losing power when driving on the freeway, difficult accelerating, jerks while driving, shifts on its own from about 1. 5 rpm up to 3 while driving on the freeway, and Nissan said it is out of warranty because I am over 60,000 miles (my mileage is at about 64,000 miles). It's going to cost $4500 to replace it according to Nissan. The door handle comes off and it has to be pushed back in, the side view mirrors whistle while driving on the freeway.
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.
Purchased my car in late November. Before the car hit 1,000, I returned it to Nissan because the car wouldn't shift as I was driving on the highway. The mechanic at Nissan ran test and said that everything was fine. Now my car is making terrible noises when I come to a stop and when I'm changing the gears. It's also shaking really bad when the car is at a complete stop. I purchased this vehicle to have a peace of mind but all it have been is a headache and unsafe.
