While I’m driving it starts to stall. Especially after I press on the breaks and try to press on the gas again it being ins to like jerk and not want to go. I thought it was my suspension or that it needed a wheel alignment but after paying for those to get renewed it’s still having that problem and the mechanic said it was most likely the transmission.

I have called Nissan USA and the Nissan in newburgh to schedule an appointment for lamp switch recall and have not recieved any calls or communication back. At this point im scared that the lamp switch is affecting my transmission and I'm just getting the runaround from Nissan so they don't have to take care of it. My car has episodes where is now doesn't start and I need to get a jump. My car also shifts out of gear while driving which is incredibly dangerous especially since I take the highway to work. Please let me know how to proceed.

I have a 2016 Nissan Sentra sv with 103k miles on it. I was driving the car, and noticed at stop sign and red lights the car would strain and hesitate when the accelerator was pressed. It would jerk hard then drive normally. The car would also loose power while driving. It would drop from 65 mph to 20 mph. It has done this numerous of times, and I have to try and maneuver off to the side of the highway to avoid a crash. The check engine light illuminated. The car would sit for a few minutes, accelerate, and drive normal. A few minutes later, the cycle starts again. I would also smell as if something was burning. After taking it to the shop, it was determined it was the cvt which was recalled in 2018 for 2013-2017 Nissan Sentra due to faulty cvt's. However, it is based on your VIN number according to Nissan. I did speak to a representative from Nissan consumer affairs and she stated my VIN number should no recalls!!!! I have this car that is doing everything that granted the recall, but because they did not put my VIN number on their list it doesn't qualify. Several transmission shop has told me they do not attempt to repair the cvt they buy a new transmission from Nissan dealership. The price starts at $5200. God please help!!! the check engine light code was a p2859 issues with the power tran transmission.

Entire car needs repairs problems with starting.

I was driving on the highway and saw that my rpm was fluctuating a lot even though on cruise control, it was losing its power. It started slowing down and even though cruise control was off, I was indeed in drive and not neutral. When I fully pressed the gas it did absolutely nothing. I was close to home 10 minutes so I had to just put emergency lights on and keep going but at the stop signs and lights sometimes it would stop completely and get stuck at 0 even though I was pressing the gas pedal all the way. Once I was going - it let me go, seemed like it allowed it. Then but never past 25 but anytime I slowed it almost shut off or did shut off. This is a safety issue since I am not able to drive the speed limit. I risk getting rear ended. There were no warning messages on my dash when this happened. I took the car to a mechanic, who stated I needed a new transmission. I bought a transmission and the mechanic replaced it. It was fine for a couple days then started having the same problem. I took it to Nissan to get it diagnosed and they stated that it was due to the transmission. Nissan stated the recall expired so they could not help me.

Transmission clutches are swollen and would make car loose throttle but I’m not to sure I got everything checked out new throttle busy and all so idk why my car hesitate to get up to speed or looses throttal.

On 10/28/2024 I was driving on a highway at 60 mph with light traffic. All of a sudden the radio display panel went blank and all the warning lights on dashboard lit up. The car started to slow down and did not gain speed even when gas pedal is pressed. Car speed went down to 40 mph. I put on hazard lights and looking for safe spot to park the car. I drove for 2 to 3 minutes and then dashboard warnings lights went out, radio came back and the car gained speed again. It drove normal again. This car has other issues as well such usb ports do not function.

This particular vehicle exhibits a very strong, almost dash rattling judder when moving from the 1st to 2nd gearing ratio. This is especially dangerous in traffic and intersections where the vehicle is known to be in 1st or 2nd gear ratio, as Nissan likes to ratio out their cvt in software through the tcm to produce what feels like shifting from gear-to-gear as in a normal automatic transaxle. What makes this situation extremely bad is that when entering an on-ramp to the interstate (I-20 for example) it will intermittently judder from 1st to 2nd and then no power. After the judder it takes another few seconds for the tcm to figure out what happened and engage maybe more valve body pressure? I'm not sure completely, but it's extremely unsafe to drive. The altima/rogue with the same transaxle and model year run was issued a TSB and subsequently a tcm update was issued to rectify the early shudder, but the Sentra did not receive that update. The tcm output data shows that when this shudder is happening that there is a loss in hydraulic pressure somewhere in the unit. As Nissan says you never are supposed to change the fluid, this creates a very serious issue not only with the transmission, but warranty as well. The safety risk to others is high on this one because this could cause major rear-end conditions and city driving collisions as the car is supposed to be accelerating but can't because the transaxle was slipping and not gaining speed with the rest of the vehicles as expected.

Car lost power, pressing down on accelerator does not move car.

Bought 2015 Nissan Sentra sr from Nissan west in dickson, TN. The car didn't even a lot of miles on it. Not even a month after having the car, the transmission went out. Car started acting up on the interstate. Would not shift gears, wouldn't go over a certain amount of speed, almost caused us to be hit multiple times. Finally got it to Nissan west dealership where they did confirm transmission was no good. Nissan west, reworked the transmission instead of giving us a new transmission. Now, over a year and 3 months later, the transmission went out again. Has been confirmed by Nissan west in dickson, TN. The transmission had only a little over 10,000 miles on it. This time I was pulling out onto a busy street when the car out of the blue would not go forwards or backwards. Luckily we did not get hit and we had to push the car out of the middle of the road.

When driving, the car started to stutter when accelerating and while driving any speed below 60 mph, while trying to get the car home it would not accelerate up a hill after I stopped at a light and I was in the middle of the street stuck on a blind spot. My husband had to get out and direct the traffic before they came pst the blind spot and hit me.

My 2017 Nissan Sentra s has a very serious problem whenever my rpm reach 3. 5 to 4. It starts jerking and I can't accelerate anymore,in one occasion after the jerking stop I couldn't drive no more than 5 miles per hour. I have checked for any visible issues but none. No warning lights come on, I carry a scanner with me obd2 but it doesn't have any codes. I have gone online to find a solution but I'm coming across hundreds of people with the same issue but no solution. I called the dealer and I was told that since the car is salvaged there is nothing they can do the car still jerking I just to keep it under or at 3rpm but I can never get on the freeway due to this issue.

My 2018 Sentra recently stop driving in forward gear. It only drive in reverse and I’m over the mileage and Nissan refuses to fix it. I need help ??.

The cvt can cause the car to shake, judder, stall during sudden acceleration, or completely lose power. My car jurked and stop completely while at a turning signal in the middle of the street . This was cause by the recall on their cvt. I’ve called a Nissan dealer and they said they can’t fix the recall problem for free because my car is over 80,000 miles. No it hasn’t been inspected . Yes my car has been jurking for the last past month . I’ve been called Nissan about it but they said I had to pay $210 for diagnostic even tho the problem was the transmission recall . The car will not drive foward or backwards . It’ll start up but that’s just about it. Now I have no transportation to go to work or doctors appointments.

Just had transmission fluid changed, now car is jerking and has no response to acceleration pedal. With car in park and gas pedal pushed down the rpm's don't move. Losing power going up a small incline rpm's drop to 500 and speed drops from 55 to 30mph. No codes from scanning but check engine light is on. Nissan has no idea what is going on.

Me and my daughter was pulling out onto a bypass highway and the car wouldn't go anywhere and we were stuck in the middle of the highway with cars coming towards us. So I had to jump out and while it was still in drive I had to push it out of the highway so we wouldn't get hit by the on coming traffic. I finally pushed it fast enough and jumped back into the car and pressed the gas pedal and it caught so I could drive it home and I parked it.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the performance of the transmission in my Nissan 2018 Nissan Sentra. Recently, I have encountered my car stopped accelerating and only able to drive backwards. I had a few transmission,shifting problems, jerking which has raised concerns about the overall reliability and safety of the vehicle. I understand your concern about Nissan transmissions. If you wish to address this issue with Nissan, I recommend following a formal and respectful approach.

If necessary, I kindly request that Nissan consider a recall to address and rectify the reported problems.

The car began to jerk when driven. One day, it stopped working; the engine was still running but it wouldn't shift gears. The transmission was repaired, and several parts were replaced. However, the car still jerks when reaching 50 miles per hour, the horn doesn't sound, not even the alarm, and it makes a loud noise when making a tight turn.

My car doesn’t accelerate. I was driving and a car behind me almost hit me because I pressed on the gas but it didn’t go.

My problem is I have a 2022 Nissan Sentra sv and it has a recall on it for tie rod inner and the dealership won’t fix it or sell me the parts for it and the car been sitting on home for more then a month so please help me out.

Without any warning electric fuel pump failed it show no signs of failing or going bad with fuel being flammable and the pump being electric aside from the risk of the car loosing power while in use the fact of it being flammable and faulty resorts to much bigger issues.

Steering wheel went unsteady. All warning lights went off. Speedometer failed. Unable to shut off the engine and unable to detect key while having the key in place. My safety and others are at risk each time this happens due to not been able to have control of the vehicle speed while having unsteady steering wheel and not knowing of the possibility of breaks failing while trying to drive to a safe place. This has happen about 5-8 times this year. Nissan replaced the ipdm and has continue to failed multiple times after. They have not been able to detect the cause. I have records of each time it has happen and one of those times was while driving on highway. My life and others have been at risk.

Code p0101 came on, service bulletin from NHTSA. Gov was done. Car came back worst. Engine stalled in the middle of the street. It wouldn’t turn on, we had to push it to get it out of the street. Car will accelerate on its own when turn on. Sometimes car will accelerate when put on reverse on its own…. . Rpms will be at 7 and 8 when going 45mph. I notice this has been an issue for Nissan Sentras 2013-2015 based on research all over the internet. People have replaced thottle body, air mass flow sensor, break sensors, fuel intake, fuses. Vehicle isn’t safe to be driving in street, may caused an accident, even mechanic said I shouldn’t be driving the car because it isn’t safe. We already made a complaint with NHTSA, dmv for financial help and nothing. Help is really needed.

Transmission is really bad after even Nissan replaced it doesn’t shift correct, the car jumps, the brakes really doesn’t do well even after they change it. The motor sound is really high. The car doesn’t speed up on the highway to go in front of the right lane, so it puts me in dangerous several times. All documents of complain since 2019 at Nissan petaluma ,CA and now the car at Nissan auto nation las vegas for the second time after they change the transition . Thanks.

This warning light has been present since I test drove this car in March 2023. The dealership stated if I purchased the vehicle they would fix the issue before I took delivery after purchasing the vehicle in March 2023 the warring light came on several times within hours of picking up the vehicle. I took the vehicle back to the dealer at least twice within a week or so to have them fix the issue, finally the service department at mcgee took the car to mastria Nissan. Mastria is a certified Nissan dealer. Mastria fixed the issue by re-calibrating the sensor in the front bumper that governs the automatic braking system (aeb). This sensor also controls the cruise control system as well. Mastria Nissan fixed the sensor on or around may 12, 2023. It is now September 2023 and this same sensor, same warning light and same error code is coming on continuously every time I drive the vehicle. That is less than 4 months of driving. I have checked around the sensor. There are no obstructions around the sensor. There is no dirt or corrosion around the sensor and it is extremely affixed to its mounting bracket. There is no logical reason for this sensor to be failing within less than 4 months of driving. This is a poor and shoddy design malfunction on Nissan’s part. This defective equipment installed on my 2019 Nissan Sentra is a serious safety concern. If this sensor stops working or malfunctions while driving, this could cause a loss of control while on the road. As this sensor governs the aed system this could cause a loss of control while on the road or worse. I could end up driving off the road uncontrolled. It could also result in a collision with another vehicle on the road. This safety issue needs to be fixed by Nissan.

When driving the forward collision avoidance system acts up. It will randomly slam on the breaks when nothing is in front. It also happens when cruise control is on, it will slam the breaks with an empty road ahead. It also thinks that there is something ahead when the road is clear ahead. This needs to be looked at because the number of complaints in regard to this is silly.

Transmission. Up and down idling when accelerating, high rpm but not accelerating in speed, jerking, whining sounds while driving, thumping into gears, bad burning smell, no type of warning lights.
