Transmission slipping, hesitating, and lunging. Some times causes sudden acceleration or deceleration, almost causing accidents. Car is also starting to make abnormal sounds from time to time, which started when the transmission issues started. Sometimes the car has even tried to lunge forward when brake is applied in a stopped position. This transmission was already changed once because original owner complained of lack of acceleration. The car only has 50k on it. Taking it to Nissan service center this weekend! but I can imagine what I'm going to hear.

Cvt transmission is slipping causing delays to power while driving the vehicle, delays to engage when accelerating, vigorous shaking when idling as well as while driving.

After about 80, 000 miles I could hear my car having a difficult time progressing in speed especially on the interstate a rates of 60 mile per hour. Currently my car is at 100,747 miles and I have to get the transmission repaired because today the transmission begin to slip and my car was jerking. This occurred while I was driving on the highway, so I got off the interstate and drove on the street home, and the jerking motion continued.

When driving down the highway at around 80mph the car's rpm's will spike and the gas pedal will not work. The car just takes over driving itself. This occurs for a few seconds and then the car will drive normally again. I've taken it to the dealership and they say nothing is wrong. I took it to another mechanic and they say it's the cvt transmission slipping. But the transmission is not damaged and there's no diagnostic code so nothing can be done.

The transmission in this car slips, jerks, high rmps with out shifting. The eco and sport no longer do anything when you try to switch it. It is a real hazzard when trying to merge onto highway or in left hand turns, I literally have to wait till there is no traffic. Highly upset there is only 82,000 miles on it.

The transmission started slipping they told me that was normal now after 100k it slips all the time at highway speeds and the transmission overheats and the car not be driven more then 20 to 30 miles without over heating the transmission. Nissan should have done a recall. All they did was extend the warranty to 110 which by the time I reported I am at 112000 miles and now I have no recourse. I feel that these companies are avoiding recalls and doing these extensions to avoid having multiple claims. The government is failing to hold them accountable for defective products!!!.

I took my 2013 Nissan Sentra in to my auto mechanic (who has been my mechanic for 25 years) because it was shifting roughly and slipping. My mechanic informed me that the cvt transmissions have had problems and recommended I take it to the Nissan service department and hopefully, Nissan would either cover the cost or cover part of it. I had the car towed to pinnacle Nissan, who has serviced kit in the past. They updated some codes but said the transmission was still slipping (this was on a Friday). They said they would drive it and see if they could determine the problem. I got another call Monday morning, saying everything was fine. I could not get a straight answer as to why it was slipping Friday afternoon but "fine" Monday morning. I tried calling Nissan corporate for some help with the cost to replace the transmission and was told it was my problem. So, the car was still driving exactly the same and, at one point, would not shift! I was nearly rear ended and, fortunately, happened to be close to my auto mechanic. The transmission finally "caught" and shifted so I was able to get it to my mechanic's. He replaced the transmission but it cost me $4200!!! thanks, Nissan, for the faulty transmission and for lying to me and for not helping me at all! so, after paying $4200 to replace my faulty transmission, I asked my mechanic to also look at my ac, which was not working well. I live in phoenix, where it is 115 in the summer, so the ac is pretty crucial. I was hoping I just needed a little freon. Nope. Yet another design flaw from Nissan, I had to replace the compressor, the condenser, and switch. So, I have poured $5300 into a car that's worth about $5700! I bought this car in good faith, believing that Nissan is an excellent, reliable brand. I am so disgusted I can't stand it!.

These are all of the problems I'm experiencing; loss of power, transmission jerking, transmission slipping, cvt coolant hose leaks and failures. All of these problems happened when I was in motion on major highways and my car couldn't go over 35mph. Not only was I endanger my child was also in the back seat to do the fact my car could not accelerate at all!! I've been experiencing these problems for some time now but the loss of power was the last straw. And then I start doing research on my car and find out Nissan has had problems with the cvt transmissions and I want to know why their isn't some type of recall on these unsafe vehicles. Its a danger to my family and the other drivers on the road because you never know when it is going to happen!!!.

I was trying to merge into the highway traffice and I pressed on the gas pedal to pick up speed, but the car just puttered along with the rpm at around 3000 - 6000 and I almost got rear-ended by a van who got really close to the rear-end of my car. The gentleman in the van was clearly upset and I know it was my fault because my car did not want to pick up speed. I have owned about 80 cars in my life and I have never had this problem; I know how to merge into traffic very well, I have been driving for 40 years without any accidents or tickets. I took the car to charlie clark Nissan dealership where I bought the car and they said there is nothing wrong with the transmission. This car makes me look like I drive like an old lady, people are getting upset, as it has no pick up power at all even though the rpm is past 3000. There is just no way out of a potential dangerous situation. The reason I think it is the transmission problem is because when shifting from 2nd to 3rd it losses power, like when the transmission is slipping.

When driving down the major highway road rpm will go all way to 6 then back down to 2 back and forth and the car will jerk without me pushing the gas and usually going at normal rate of speed , transmission is slipping and a jerking , sometimes when coming to an intersection the rpm hand would go up to 6 without warning , almost propelling me on thru the intersection very dangerous , I am afraid for my life while driving my car and I am very disappointed in this problem.

The transmission is jerking and slipping . It is a hazard yesterday almost got in an accident the car speed on its own after transmission slipped.

The car would not accelerate. The gradual breaking light was on. I noticed my back passenger tail light had moister in it. So I took it po ur and dumped about 5 oz. Of water out of it. I bought a new taillight. It seemed to fix the problem now my transmission is slipping from 1st to second gear. The rpms jump from 2000 to 3000 as it shifts and steady out it's been getting worse as the days go by. I'm finding similar issues online but no solution other than transmission replacement. It has 83000 miles on it. Because of the taillight issue and it not accelerating I feel like theres some kind of wiring issue to the transmission. It's not throwing any codes and the dealer says nothing's wrong with it.

Complete transmission failure while driving. Transmission stalled out in the middle of the interstate due to loss of power even with engaged acceleration, transmission jerking and slipping. Feels like it skipping along the street with loss of power.

When I hit 70-80 mph my vehicles rpm's go crazy and transmission starts slipping and bucking. Does. It do it during normal day to day 55 mph driving only at the higher speed.

Cvt transmission slipping: my 2013 Nissan Sentra is experiencing issues with its cvt transmission. My first experience with my cvt could have harmed me and the other passengers in my car. My car refused to accelerate while making a turn at an intersection while another vehicle was heading in the same direction. Luckily the driver noticed and slowed down preventing a collision. It took 30 seconds for my vehicle to pick up speed afterwards. I had the same problem once before while preparing to turn at a stop sign at another intersection.

I gotten this vehicle from carmax at 53000 miles may of 2018. I took it back 2 days later with the transmission slipping they told me OH its fine. I even had a rental for a day. Now its January 2019 and at 74000 miles the transmission is slipping and jolting sometimes not giving power in the middle of the road. My car comes up as not a lemon car but I went to a mechanic near me he told me he use to work for Nissan and by even testing my car my transmission needs to be fixed and it will start again in the next 6 months after repair. My car is not safe to be driving nor will I pay for a vehicle that wont get my bills paid.

I purchased this car brand new. After stopping at a stop light or sign, or even just slowing down, it would always delay after stepping on the gas to move from day one. I thought it was normal. After about 30,000 miles, the transmission started to slip on the freeway, especially on hot days. It felt like I was putting the car in neutral while my foot was still on the gas. It may have done that once a day on my way home from work. I decided to take it in a few months later when it would do it several times. I took it to the dealership. They took it on a test drive and it broke down on them. I guess there's a chain in the transmission, but it was in pieces! I had a rebuilt transmission put in, but I am already seeing the symptoms again! I have been taking data ever since and have a page of incidences. I took it back and they said there's nothing wrong. I am less than 3000 miles away from 60,000, which is when the power train warranty will expire. About 10,000 miles ago, I inquired about getting an extended warranty but they refused to sell me one since I drive about 110 miles a day for work. I still owe quite a bit on this pos. I am going to get a lawyer.

Transmission slipping when taking off or shifting 85,000 miles.

Bought this car, my first car on 04/20/2018. I have a short commute to work and the car seemed to fit my price range and didn't see many dire complaints on this specific model of car while researching before purchasing. Until I searched rpm spikes and transmission slips on google after my 60 day limited warranty ran out. Haven't even driven this car 800 miles and the car jerks violently on the roads, and at only 55,000 miles. It jerked from day one, but thought it was normal until it got worse. I'm just now regretting buying this vehicle, but there was nothing I could do I was in a pinch for a car I got bills to pay and a job I have to make it to. It seems like a lot of people have this issue and all agree the cvt should be a recall. I have to be honest I agree. I don't understand how you could sell someone this vehicle without letting them know the reputation this car has. I don't know how you could sell someone a used car to someone and know that persons car may stall, or jerk and cause a life threatening car crash. When it comes down to it, its not the money its the safety, the vehicle doesn't operate in a safe manner, it jerks, stalls, shakes when breaking all while not flashing any indicator lights saying there is something wrong when there clearly is something wrong.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the transmission was slipping while driving and that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the fuel pump pressure sensor was previously replaced. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 160,000.

Cvt transmission slipping at highway speeds, randomly, transmission will slip going up interstate hills, cruise control on, going speed limits, transmission will start slipping and rpms will bounce up and down 500rpms, took the car to Nissan, transmission replaced. . December 2017. . . . And replacement transmission is doing the exact same slipping. . . I have returned to Nissan service, they performed software update to correct problem, received car back on 1-5-18, driving home, about 60 miles I begin up a interstate hill, and slipping happens again, I call Nissan service and let them know the tranmission is still slipping, service guy says they have done everything they can. . . I have service warranty records and videos of slipping transmission. . . Seems Nissan service can not fix.

Car jerks and sputters when pulling off like the transmission is slipping. When accelerating, the gears do not shift when they are supposed to, so the rpm revs high.

The vehicle has one owner, used on daily route to work and a few short trips. 67,000 miles on the odometer. The transmission began to slip at highway speeds causing the engine to rev up and down 500 rpms to maintain speed. Problem ceased while in cruise control. Problem was intermittent. Within two days before getting it serviced, the condition worsened. The transmission began to slip at slow speeds, all conditions, with the fluctuating rpms at highway speeds being 1500 rpms. The diagnosis was a pressure malfunction in the transmission. It destroyed the inner workings of the transmission. Debris from the transmission was in the fluid, and the fluid was severely burned. The entire transmission must be replaced at a cost of $4200.

The transmission keeps slipping. The car has 77,000 miles on it and the dealer is stating the transmission needs to be replaced. Cost to replace the transmission is $4,800. Apparently this is an issue a lot of Nissan owners are having with defective cvt transmission and Nissan is not taking responsibility.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra. While driving 20-25 mph, the odometer displayed incorrect readings and the transmission slipped then the vehicle decelerated. The vehicle hesitated while in traffic and the gear shift would not go into the proper gears. Also, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that a transmission range performance was needed. The vehicle was repaired two months later. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 67,411.

First issue happened couple months after I bought it on 12/27/2014 purchased new only 18 miles on it on 5/10/15 I took it in for maintenance because the driver side tire was making a wierd clicking noise when I would stop or turn. Second issue now is the transmission jerking as if slipping running out of gas my car is still in new. Condition is barely 2 years old it should not have had all these issues my car was in motion wgen it began to stall on an intersection it was very dark and dangerous on rheir multipoint inspection they stated my fluid levels were good but my transmission fluid was not. It turned out to be empty.

My first indecent occurred while driving down a state highway with my cruise control on, my cruise control was cut off. As I was trying to accelerate back to my driving speed, the gas pedal felt loose and my car was having trouble revving up to accelerate and would not let me accelerate back up to posted highway speeds. The car then "jumped" forward and went back to normal and allowed me accelerate. However, I was not able to engage my cruise control back to normal and would cut it off every time I set it. I took my car to the dealership the next day for an initial recall notice to be fixed and explained also what happened. When I described my issue the service man had said it sounded as if my transmission was slipping, that they would look at it. After recall was cared for and two test drives later, they found nothing wrong with the vehicle. Told me if problem comes back to bring in immediately. On 07/06/2016 on my drive home at night, I came to a light and yielded,upon trying to accelerate to turn my car failed to accelerate and was having issues once again revving up! I drifted in to a nearby parking lot, put my car in park, turned it off for a few minutes then turned it back on. It acted fine until I was further down on a state highway and it was giving issues accelerating again. I contacted the dealership the next day (07/07) and was told to bring it in. They called me after sometime, and made me aware of what was wrong with my vehicle(condensation in the tail lights!) and how it was affecting my vehicle. I was also told that it was a manufacturer issue and that the manufacturer and Nissan are aware of the issue but have yet to issue a recall!! this is a serious issue that can lead to a fatal accident!!.

On vacation left roanoke, va headed to gatlinburg, TN on the interstate just before getting off at the TN exit the transmission starts slipping, then stops working completely. Contacted the local TN Nissan dealership. Car was under warranty, all servicing documentation was provided supporting the transmission warranty. (you must have it serviced at some set number of miles or the warranty is void on the transmission. ) we were advised the transmission would have to be replaced with a brand new transmission. The Nissan dealership was unable to give us a rental, as they were already all out, for some event. We had to find our own way for vacation and getting home. (thankfully we had some friends that were traveling with us. 6 people in one car plus luggage!) went back got the car. Now this year we again leave for vacation and now we have an issue, cvt is going into limp mode is what I have heard it called. Car will not go over 55 mph. Contact the dealership when we returned. 3 weeks later a call and we are told they know about this issue in these models but they have no way to fix this issue even though its a new transmission, fluid changes help he says, and these cars don't like when there are 4 persons in the car. Really a brand new transmission and it has a problem they knew about but was still installed, as a warranty replacement. Broken transmission replaced with a known bad transmission?.

After driving for about 10 minutes, the transmission did not want to come out of low gear. At 35 mph, I was at about 6,000rpms in drive. I confirmed the overdrive off button is not engaged, nor is it in "l", and the emergency brake is off. When it has been cooled off for about 3+ hours, it will drive fairly normal for about 10-12 minutes until warmed up, then it all starts again. Even once it is cooled off, there is a slight drag on power and it will begin to have erratic shifting (similar to a regular automatic transmission slipping) after a few minutes on take off it feels like the parking brake is on, but it is not. The service engine soon light comes on, the vdc control light comes on, and another light that is above the vdc light comes on. Codes p0720 and p1778 were found by a local non-Nissan dealer who checked them as a courtesy for me. Have discovered that Nissan has extended the cvt transmission warranty on certain Nissans up to 10 yrs or 120,000 miles, my Sentra is included among others. . Read more...
