36 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 08/28/2021

When driving at speeds above 70 mph, the rpm’s start to surge. Going from 2. 5 rpms to 5 rpms without any acceleration in speed from the driver. I have video of it when the cruise control was being used and the rpms surged and fell back. The fuel efficiency screen also shows a decrease in efficiency when the rpms go up. Have also had a loss of power when trying to pass and tried to increased speed - yet the engine surged/faltered. It happens every time I exceed 70 mph. I picked the date when I have video of this occurring. However, it happens whenever I exceed 70mph.

At a speed of 70 mph in the outside temperature of 85 degrees or more the transmission seems to be cutting out not allowing me to get out of harms way in an emergency situation. The car will not go any faster. I can not go faster to change lanes.

38 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/12/2021

When I try to get a quick acceleration it doesn't want to move it has trouble climbing hills like I had to put it to the floor to make him go anywhere and sometimes when I'm driving to rpms goes up in the middle of driving without me hitting the gas I also noticed sometimes the buttons on the steering wheel don't always work I have to turn off the car and turn it back on kind of worried about the transmission I have a 2009 Nissan altima transmission it's going bad on it before it's time so I'm hoping this car is not having the same thing.

39 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 06/06/2021

Transmission shudders and loses power when needing to quickly accelerate. Nissan has paid me an inconvienece fee because all of their 2019 Nissan Sentra sr models experience the same issue. This is extremely dangerous! when needing to get out of a situation quickly, the vehicle shudders and hesitates before catching a gear. This has happened to me in an intersection. Someone ran a redlight and I need to move quickly to avoid an accident. The vehicle sputtered and when it caught it's gear, almost lurched me into oncoming traffic. Nissan has placed 7 transmissions in my car and all are the same. I never took their replacement car because when I drove two other of the same models of my car. They did the same thing! Nissan needs to be held accountable and find a way to fix the transmission so it does not do this shudder anymore. I've seen many consumer reviews that state the same problem. I feel this is widespread enough and a big enough safety defect that Nissan needs to fix before it kills someone because they can move out of the way in time.

Nissan said we don't qualify becase of miles on car. Its a lemon,it has more issues but to many to list.

41 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2021

While driving and slightly moving right or left there was a clicking noise and the car kicks back. Then as the wheels are turned left or right it felt as if you lose control of turn. You have to really keep extra control of the steering wheel.
