Continuous transmission revs up and down and jerks the car forward and backward. This is a newly replaced transmission in April 2018. The last transmission also had an issue when complained the authorized service center said there was no issue. And then the transmission failed right after it was out of warranty and Nissan refused to replace. I paid $3700 from pocket to replace the transmission, and it is failing again.

My 2013 Nissan Sentra suddenly lost all of its power in a busy highway. It is very easy to cause a crash and kill me. I got it towed to the local Nissan dealership. I am told that the average cost for the replacement of the transmission can range from 3500 to 5000. It's almost a new car and the transmission failed out of nowhere on 78k miles!! just got out of the manufacturer's warranty from my understanding this cvt caused Nissan to warranty the older models because of the same issue, but they did not offer the same on my 2013. However, from my research, it appears to be a current and ongoing issue with all Nissans with a cvt. I am disappointed that Nissan is aware of the common problem and is doing nothing to correct it.

Cvt transmission fail at 64000 mi. Estimate repair 4400+tax.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra. While driving 60 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle failed to accelerate. The contact stated that the speed fluctuated between 20 and 60 mph.

I am requesting an investigation into Nissan cvt transmissions after suffering transmission failure at 70 miles an hour while on cruise control on an interstate in traffic. Rpms jumped up but was losing power and engine sounded horrible like metal on metal . Able to get off before passing exit and limped into nearby gas station. Towed to nearest Nissan dealer after breakdown and told a few days later that something broke internally in transmission and will now have to be replaced after 115000 miles for $4000. Car bought new in 2013. Research online shows an extreme amount of the same complaints about Nissan's cvt transmissions for years and Nissan is not addressing the issue. Nissan offered owners of previous models up to year 2010 to double power train warranty from 60,000 to 120,000 to address previous complaints but current owners are not offered this currently even though obvious problems remain with their transmissions. There has to be a fault with their transmissions. Could you please investigate as numerous people are in danger if failure occurs in traffic and are suffering financially from paying for repairs from this problem.

Transmission failure while driving.

As I was driving down the interstate at 65 miles an hour the car stopped accelerating. I was able to maneuver the vehicle to the side and call for aaa. The next day I called the dealership and reported to them what happened and they asked if the car still turned on and if so, did it go into gear. It did so I drove it to them 7 miles away. Once I got to 30 mph, the rpm's went to 4 and would not decrease until the car lost all power. I was able to shut the car off and turn it back on to cete the drive. The car was diagnosed with internal transmission failure. I have brought the car to Nissan 3 times prior and they claimed nothing was wrong and that this was normal for a cvt. Once the car reached over 60k and was officially diagnosed with transmission failure they let me know it would be $4,300 to fix. I opened a case and Nissan states because the car was diagnosed post warranty they will not cover it. I explained I have the documentatiom proving I was in there prior to warranty expiring and the women said that doesn't matter, the official diagnosis was post warranty eligibility guidelines.

Transmission failed while driving 60 mph on a busy highway. Had problems moving the Sentra over to breakdown lane due traffic and the sudden DE-acceleration. The Sentra required towing 60 miles back to our local Nissan dealership at our, the owners, expense. The Nissan dealership confirmed the transmission had failed, noting this is not uncommon with the Sentra. Our 2013 Sentra has an automatic transmission (cvt) and less than 40,000 miles on the odometer when the transmission failed. The cost to replace the transmission was covered under warranty.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Nissan Sentra. While the contact's wife was driving 65 mph, the tachometer fluctuated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to moses Nissan of huntington (5200 us route 60 east, huntington, wv 25706, 304-736-5291) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed. The vehicle was repaired, but the remedy failed and the tachometer continued to fluctuate. The manufacturer was notified and stated that they would assist. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. The VIN was not available.

Transmission failed with no warning. Vehicle would not move after braking while still in gear. Only 78,000 miles logged. 5. 5 years old. Exact event: backing slowly out of a driveway (in reverse); braked at end of driveway to look both directions; resumed acceleration (in reverse) as I turned and nothing happened. Vehicle would not "land" in any gear (drive, reverse, low drive, etc). Had to be towed from location to my mechanic. My mechanic diagnosed the transmission as inoperable and needing replacement. Recommended I tow to a Nissan dealer for hopeful coverage by Nissan. Nissan confirmed need to replace at the cost of $4156.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Sentra. While driving 40 mph, the engine shut off and the vehicle became inoperable. The engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a Nissan dealer (teddy Nissan, 3660 boston rd, bronx, NY 10469 (877) 607-3537) where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 12,000.

My car had been "soft stalling" for a couple of weeks - it would keep running, but at just about any speed/driving condition, would either experience a struggle to accelerate/maintain speed (rpms up to 6,000 with no warning/reason), start to drop speed, or hesitate/kick back at me. I took it to my mechanic on wed, 7/28, and on thurs, 7/29, he told me that the transmission had failed completely, that it was cycling through gears, and dropping gears randomly. He said that he spoke with Nissan, and because I was out of warranty by miles (72k vs 60k), there was nothing they could do. They don't issue repair kits for their cvt transmission, and a re-manufactured cvt would be $3900, with parts and labor. I owed $6000 on that car, and was forced to junk it. Nissan should not be allowed to deny warranty claims on their cvt transmissions, as they're an acknowledged problem in other models.

2013 Nissan Sentra transmission failed at 78,600 miles without any warning while we were traveling on a busy highway on the way home from a long road trip. While driving at an speed of approximately 70-75 mph in TN on the highway the vehicle began decelerate and the rpm's just kept revving up. It was just me (a female) and my two year old daughter in the vehicle. I attempted to the emergency shoulder with my hazards on trying to avoid being hit by a transfer truck and several vehicles. I shut the car off to see what was going on and was afraid of what just occurred. I started the engine back and it began driving fine for about 10 mins on the highway and then it decelerated again near the atlanta area and totally driving power. I was 3 hours from home and had to call for help. I immediately called the dealership the next morning and advised them of the issue and engine codes received from an auto store. I then contacted Nissan consumer affairs to notify them of the transmission failure and they advised to simply take it to the dealership for repair since it was outside of warranty. The dealership quoted us a price of $3600 before taxes and advised that they have several issues with cvt transmissions but that's just the nature of them. I have concerns that this is a potential safety hazard while driving on the highway after review and in depth research of the faulty transmission issues several Nissan owners have faced in the past few years. Additionally, the cost effectiveness of the issue is causing hardship on customers that rely on the brand and safety features Nissan is continuing to advertise. Nissans commitment: dear Nissan Sentra owner: Nissan is committed to providing the highest levels of product safety, quality and customer satisfaction. (statement is null and void per this concerned customer).

The transmission had a catastrophic transmission failure after 25 months of ownership and 82,000 miles. Car is undriveable. My tow truck driver said he sees this all the time with Nissan's cvt transmission failures. Nissan declined to provide assistance with the cost of repairs because my car was 22,000 miles past the limited powertrain warranty, and because this year Sentra is not part of any current transmission recall. It is my hope to call attention to a product that might need to be recalled, as it is my understanding this is a common issue with these vehicles. Consumers who buy Nissan Sentras are often budget-minded, and a repair that exceeds $4,000 is not expected at 2 years of ownership, nor should it be.

Our Sentra has a cvt. It currently has less than 7,500 miles on the odometer. On three (3) occasions, the transmission has failed to upshift as we moved away from a stop at a traffic light. At 30 mph or less, the tach is at 4,000 rpm. We have to find a safe place to pull the vehicle to the side of the road, put the trans selection lever in park and then restart our journey. We have taken the vehicle to the Nissan dealer who told us that there was no problem. . . . . . No computer error or malfunction. We contacted Nissan USA and were told the same thing. The transmission of the computer controlling it has a problem. Dates of problems: 3/20/2016; 5/20/2016; 5/25/2016.

Bought the car certified used from a Nissan dealership w/ roughly 55k miles on it, cvt transmission fails, have it replaced. The new cvt transmission fails again with roughly 55k miles on. Nissan refuses to offer any assistance to help with replacing a cvt transmission that yet again has failed.
