general problems of the 2017 Nissan Sentra - part 2

The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would hesitate upon depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. The vehicle had yet to be serviced or diagnosed for the failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

While driving the vehicle, noticed the vehicle start to sporadically jerk. Engine rpm would jump and the accelerator was non responsive at times. No check engine light activated. Pulled up to a stop light and when the light turned green the accelerator would not work at all. Pushed the pedal to the floor and had no response at all. Still no check engine light. Contacted Nissan and they stated the issue was the cvt transmission starting to fail. Car is a 2017 and has less than 92000 miles on it. Extended warranty ends on that year at 84000 miles. Without warranty coverage the repair is around $4000. Looked all over the internet and found lots of people are having the same issue. Nissan needs to extend the warranty or issue a recall. It is a serious problem to be driving and lose accelerator response all together.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle decelerated independently. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to daytona Nissan (950 n. Tomoka farms rd, daytona beach, FL 32124, (386) 478-4019) however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and suggested that the vehicle be diagnosed by an authorized dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

I was driving on several occasions and the car would just slow down out of nowhere on the highway. I couldn't get the car past 80 or it would shake. If I stopped the car or even slowed down, (anywhere, street or highway) the car wouldn't move at all. I would be pushing the pedal on the floor for 10 minutes just to get it to 5mph. If I would go up a small incline, the car would roll back and barely stop ( almost resulting in several potentially fatal collisions). At times my reverse wouldn't even work if I couldn't press the gas and if it did work then I couldn't drive froward. It would take me almost 30 minutes to get home from work and my job is exactly 10 minutes in a straight line from my house (on the street. No highway). If that gives any perspective. Once the car was parked it was fine. All the problems occurred while the car was in motion.

The car was in motion when I loss 90% acceleration and velocity while driving. Very, very scary! I was on the highway when this occurred. I proceeded to check the battery, alternator, and starter by aaa when a service call was placed to inspect the vehicle at my home. Aaa's. They informed me that the battery, alternator and starter are great and that these things were not the reason why the check engine light came on and has remained on. The car is only 3yrs 11mnths old. I get the standard oil change but Nissan has discontinued to use conventional oil. Which is the recommended oil for my car. I also get the car serviced as needed. It is extremely dangerous to drive my car. I cannot drive it period. It suddenly loses power 60 to 120 seconds when the car is in motion.

My car have been giving me problems such as cutting off in the middle of driving and I don't seem to be going over 45 when this happen I took it to Nissan to get it fixed and still does the same thing without warning the car locks the steering wheel and brakes the lights on the dash light up and the car cuts off.

Light going on looks like transmission and transmission has been failing when I drive.

My Nissan has always hesitated to go a person at carmax told my ex OH it's a Nissan thing well I was like ive never heard of that it's getting worse and I still owe alit if payments not going to continue paying on a car that has issues like this it's cut off on me in the middle of switching lanes 3 times already just knw someone will be getting sued if something happens to me in this car it has 77,000 miles I need my car fixed or traded in and get something I want I dnt want a car that's quit on me already.

I have had many issues with this vehicle, and the most problematic one is the transmission. When I accelerate to high speed on highway at a point the transmission starts to act up. The rpm start to go up and down crazy. And the vehicle does not accelerate and I could of had hardcore accidents this happens frequently, but randomly. There are no check lights on or anything, sometimes the vehicle drive normal and at times it does not. I took it in to the dealership and they never had the time to fix my vehicle until I said enough I need this done ASAP. Well it took them 5 days to tell me it was the transmission and given code is dtc: p17f4. I was looking into it and did see there are current recalls for some Sentra but mine is not one I guess maybe it is the model I dont know.

My 2017 Nissan Sentra sr is doing the same exact thing that other Sentra and other Nissan s transmission messing up it doesn't make any sense. They say my Sentra don't fall under the recall.

Code p2135 keeps showing. Bought a new throttle pedal positioning sensor from Nissan, had it installed. After 2 weeks the same problem shows back. The vehicle cuts off while driving, lose power as driving, and sometimes idles high while idling and then cuts off.

I can be driving and maintaining the speed limit when all of a sudden my speed will drop almost like I am hitting the brakes. This has happened during city driving and while on the high way. This has been happening for about 8 months now.

Takata recall . I have a complaint on the cvt transmission. My transmission was serviced back in October, not even a year ago and it begin acting up again back in August while driving and I've seen the lawsuits and recalls on it. And Nissan would not allow me to stay under the warranty or extend it. So I dont mind pulling in the lemon law firm.

I was driving my vehicle and it was locked into gear I want to press on my brakes it would not slow down I rear-ended a vehicle, and the airbags did not deploy.

When trying to accelerate to high speed on freeway, transmission acts up. Rpm goes up and down like crazy. Significant lag in acceleration while in motion trying to advance higher speeds. 80 mph or higher vehicle shakes.

Since my second oil change (vehicle is under 15000 miles currently) the check engine light will randomly come on and then go away. It would not alarm me, but I am hearing the shifting of the power train now more often than before. A clicking as it shifts up and down. The engine is a cvt, but from what other mechanics have told me, this is not how it should sound and should not be how it performs.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Nissan Sentra. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle hesitated and jerked harshly. The contact stated that the vehicle felt as if it would lose power, but it did not. The vehicle was driven to coggin Nissan jacksonville (0600 atlantic blvd, jacksonville, FL 32246, (904) 302-8231) where it was diagnosed that a new transmission was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 64,810.

01/25/2019 north of indianapolis, in traveling south on I-65, the car appeared to shift into neutral at 70 mph. Stopped on the inside lane, shut off the car and restarted and seemed to be okay. Got just south of indy and stopped for gas, made it out of the gas station and the car wouldn't go foward but would go in reverse. Had to back up the entrance ramp to I-65 to avoid being hit by semi's coming down the ramp. Called Nissan emergency roadside service and they had the car towed to a Nissan dealer (hubler Nissan) they told us the transmission would need to be replaced. Prior to this incident I took the car to m'lady Nissan on 02/02/2018 to complain about erratic shifting, they found no problems. On 06/11/2019 I again took the car to m'lady Nissan to complain about rpm's jumping as the car attempted to shift and not wanting to shift at all going foward on a flat surface road. They kept the car for a week and said the found no problems. At the time the trans went out, the car only had 3,548 miles on it. For the second complaint after the new trans was put in the car only had 4201 miles on it. We now only use the car for local trips as we are afraid to take it out on the road and the transmission continues to act erratically. Nissan won't do anything for us and m'lady Nissan (where we bought the car) doesn't or won;t even acknowledge that there is a major problem. They did tell us if the trans goes out again we might get something done under the lemon law.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 Nissan Sentra. While driving low speeds, the vehicle would not accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact also stated that the vehicle violently accelerated after several attempts. The failures occurred twice. The vehicle was taken to Nissan of richmond (11401 w broad st, henrico, va 23233, (804) 346-4200) where the contact was informed that in order to diagnose the failure, the mechanic would have to drive the vehicle.

Bought 2017 Nissan Sentra brand new from dealership and was very unfairly overcharged. I was charged $23,014. 53 for a car that was only worth $16,000 and has so many issues. Gas tank sometimes will stop at 200 miles and will not fill up, speedometer shoots up and down while driving, speed does not stay at a certain speed and slows down automatically. The engine jerks and sputters while driving on freeways and streets.

The transmission does not shift properly to 2nd, 4, and 5th gear. I took it to the dealership to get it looked at and the mechanic reported that this problem is common among my vehicle makes. I still don't see a recall for it and he said they won't fix it until then. Can we get this ball rolling please, it's a huge highway safety concern.

Car is dangerously slow to accelerate when attempting to merge onto a freeway or a busy street. Even with flooring the accelerator, vehicle will not move past 40mph for about 5-8 seconds, which in driving, is a large amount of time, especially merging onto the freeway.
