2013 Nissan Sentra Power Train

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. CERRITOS NISSAN IN CERRITOS, CALIFORNIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 30086087. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 59,000.

THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD AND INCORRECTLY AND NOT ENGAGING IN GEAR, RESULTING IN THE CAR DRIVING AT HIGH RPMS, AND BELT SLIPPING CONSTANTLY. I HAD MY TCM REPROGRAMED OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE NISSAN WOULDN'T DO IT, SAID MY VIN DIDN'T FALL IN THE RANGE OF RECALLS ON THAT PROBLEM. THE TCM WAS REPROGRAMMED AND NOW MY CAR IS WORSE. I AM A SINGLE MOM OR 2, WORKING 2 JOBS 7 DAYS A WEEK. I STILL OWE $11K ON MY CAR AND I CANNOT EVEN DRIVE IT, NOR DO I HAVE $4500 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. IF YOU LOOK ONLINE THERE IS FORUM AFTER FORUM OF THIS KNOWN PROBLEM AND NISSAN IS UNWILLING TO ASSIST CUSTOMERS AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE. I LOVE MY CAR AND I AM WILLING TO ACCEPT A REBUILT TRANSMISSION BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP ME AT ALL. WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THIS A RECALL? IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON MANY 2013 - 2014 NISSAN SENTRA'S THAT AROUND 75K - 100K MILES THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTS TO HAVE ISSUES, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MINE. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

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.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 80,000 MILES. $3,700 ESTIMATE TO REPLACE. CAR WON'T ACCELERATE AND COULD CAUSE ACCIDENT IF DRIVEN ON HIGHWAY.

THE TRANSMISSION HAS AN INTERNAL FAILURE AND IT FLUTTERS. THE CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD. I'VE ALREADY PAID $1K BECAUSE THE AIR COND COMPRESSOR WENT OUT AND NOW THEY WANT $6K TO REPLACE THE TRANS ON A CAR THAT MIGHT BE WORTH $7K. NISSAN NA SAYS THEY WILL NOT HELP COVER ANY COSTS. EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THIS TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES ACCORDS THE BOARD AND THEY HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTIES TO THE 2007-2010 MODELS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ALAN WEBB NISSAN (3608 NE AUTO MALL DR, VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON 98662, (360) 892-9004) DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 319-401-85. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,600.

MY CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT NISSAN NORTH AMERICA WAS AWARE OF THE DEFECT OF THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS AND HIT IT FROM CUSTOMERS. I GOT A QUOTE FROM MY DEALERSHIP FOR $4,300.17 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. I HAD TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO FIX IT BECAISE I NEED MY CAR FOR WORK.

MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION AS WELL AS SHUDDERING HESITATING, DOWN SHIFTING ABOVE 50MPH.,WHINING SOUND FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CARRIED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SHIP TO BE CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. I WOULD NEED A NEW ONE. I HAVE ENCLOSED THE INVOICES AS WELL AS MY DIFFERENT STEPS TO TRY TO RESOLVE THIS AS A WARRANTY ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE REV UP HIGH. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED THE CAR AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT JUST REV UP HIGH WHILE IN DRIVE. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND TRIED TO CUT THE CAR BACK ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP. IT JUST MADE A SPINNING SOUND BUT WOULD NOT START BACK UP.

WITH ONLY 69800 MILES 2013 , TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED TO OPERATE . WONT ACCELARATE IN OCASSIONS , AND THE CAR WONT MOVE FORWARD THIS CAN CAUSE A CRASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE OR AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BERMAN NISSAN OF CHICAGO (3456 N KEDZIE AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60618) WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE PROGRESSING WITH THE CVT, WHICH CAUSED A STRONG JERKING VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO SLOW TO CHANGE GEARS WHILE SHIFTING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT TO HAVE TO CHANGE GEARS FROM DRIVE INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE TO TRY TO PREVENT THE FAILURE, WHICH HAD NOT WORKED IN MOST INSTANCES WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER (CONYERS NISSAN, 1420 IRIS DR. SW, CONYERS, GA 30094, (678) 233-2448) INITIALLY STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN/TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE MANUFACTURER INSTRUCTED THE DEALER NOT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY AND TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY. THE VALVE BODY WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER AND, WITHIN FIFTEEN DAYS OF OBTAINING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER, THE CONDITION WORSENED AND THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE UPON CHANGING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A WARRANTY CAMPAIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER AWAITING REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000. *TT

I HAVE A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA SV I PURCHASED USED. NOW TWO YEARS LATER AND OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY PERIOD I AM GOING ON 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF AT THE SHOP FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THEY UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER, DIDN'T FIX IT, THEN THEY THOUGHT IT WAS THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR, THIS ALSO DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE, NOW ONE WEEK FROM MY LAST VISIT TO THE SHOP ITS BACK IN. THERE ARE NO RECALLS HOWEVER THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING IF I PRESS ON THE GAS IT RANDOMLY DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE OR STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE. AT ONE POINT THIS LEFT ME IN THE LINE OF TRAFFIC AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT OR EVEN KILLED IF THE CAR DRIVING TOWARD ME HAD NOT SLOWED DOWN. WHILE ON THE FREEWAY I WENT FROM 65MPH TO STRUGGLING TO GET TO 20-40 MPH AND HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE AFTER A 15MIN FREEWAY DRIVE IT REFUSING TO ACCELERATE WHEN TURNING ONTO A MAIN STREET AFTER A SHORT STOP. AFTER MULTIPLE REPAIR ATTEMPTS AND READING ONLINE IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. PLEASE RECALL!

OUR 2013 NISSAN SENTRA WITH 112K MILES, THE TRANSMISSION HAS STARTED TO SHUTTER WHEN SHIFTING ON CITY STREETS, GETS STUCK IN SECOND GEAR WHEN PULLING ONTO HIGHWAYS ON RAMPS, AND SLIPS WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH AND WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL. THIS VEHICLE SAVED MY WIFE'S LIFE WHILE BEING OUR ONLY TRANSPORTATION. SHE HAS SURVIVED 5 CANCERS BUT NOW WE DON'T HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. I CAN'T GET THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE TWO RECALLS PERFORMED ON THE AIRBAGS AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO UNIVERSITY NISSAN (248 COX CREEK PKWY, FLORENCE, AL 35630, (256) 740-5100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 29964786. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

I WAS ON THR HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH BUT ONCE THE TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN, WITHOUT WARNING I COULD NO LONGER GET GOING ONCE I CAME TO A STOP. THE CAR SQUEELED AND EVEN THOUGH I FLOORED IT, IT STALLED OUT. ONLY AFTER CUTTING THE CAR OFF ANF BACK ON DID IT ALLOW ME TO RESUME BUT IT WAS A NIGHTMARE BECAUSE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP.

TAKATA RECALL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STALL IN FRONT OF AN 18 WHEELER. IT SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME BUT AS I DROVE LITTLE BIT MORE IT STARTED TO JERK AND I COULD NOT GO OVER 25. I PULLED OVER CUT THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND TRIED TO PULL OFF AND IT JERKED SOME MORE BEFORE IT PULLED OFF AND THEN I COULD GO ONLY 25. AT EVERY RED LIGHT I HAD TO CUT THE CAR OFF AND ON JUST TO GET THE CAR OUT THE ROAD. I FINALLY MADE IT TO THE DEALER SHIP TODAY AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE A ARM AND A LEG SAY MY WARRANTY ENDED AT A 100K AND I GOT THE CAR WITH 37K MILES ON IT. I DONT THINK THAT IS RIGHT. THEY TELL ME I HAD A WARRANTY FOR A 100K MILES BUT WHEN IT TIME TO FIX SOMETHING THE WARRANTY IS UP. I SHOULD STILL HAVE 30K LEFT BEFORE MY WARRANTY GOES OUT. BY THE WAY THIS STARTED ON APRIL 23RD 2018 THIS AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER SHIP ON APRIL 25TH.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS, THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE STUCK ON A LOWER GEAR OR NOT TRANSITIONING TO A HIGHER GEAR. THE MOST NOTICEABLE ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE RPM'S GETTING EXTREMELY HIGH WITH LITTLE OR NO INCREASE IN OVERALL SPEED. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO INCREASE MY SPEED THE VEHICLE SLOWLY ACCELERATED UP TO 45 - 50 MPH BUT THE RPM'S REFLECTED 6,500+ BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO JERK AT THIS POINT I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO MOVE TOWARDS THE EMERGENCY LANE/SHOULDER FEARING THAT IT WOULD ABRUPTLY STOP WORKING OR LOSE MOMENTUM. THIS INSTANCE HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS DURING THIS DRIVE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY AND IT SEEMED TO STOP AFTER THE SECOND TIME I PULLED OVER BUT ONLY AFTER I CYCLED THROUGH THE PARK/NEUTRAL/REVERSE/DRIVE/LOW GEARS A FEW TIMES. BASED ON THIS SECOND INSTANCE, I FEEL THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE VEHICLE.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE GEAR SHIFT ASSEMBLY. I HAVE THAT ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN VEHICLES FOR THE LAST 15 YEARS. THE ONLY WAY TO OVERRIDE THE ISSUE IS TO REMOVE THE BUTTON ON THE GEAR SHIFT AND INSERT A JEWELER'S SCREWDRIVER TO COMPRESS THE LOCK ALLOWING THE VEHICLE THEN TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THIS HAPPEN TO ME SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I LEARNED ABOUT THE USE OF THE SCREWDRIVER, WHEN IT FIRST STARTED THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD OCCASIONALLY FREEZE UP. I WOULD WAIT A FEW SECONDS RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE GEAR SHIFT WOULD RELEASE. THE COAST TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN MANUFACTURE PROBLEM RANGES FROM $600 TO $900 WHEN YOU CALL THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A DEFECT SCAM THAT NISSAN DOES NOT WANT TO RESOLVE AS THEY MAKE MONEY FIXING THEIR OWN DESIGN FLAW. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ANY TIME YOUR VEHICLE IS IN THE PARKED POSITION ON THE GEAR SHIFT. IT OCCURS WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE, IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE STUCK IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR IS PUT IN TO PARK SO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE BREAK. I HAVE NOT PICTURE TO UPLOAD. I AM PROVIDING THE YOUTUBE VIDEO BY NISSAN THAT ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM EXISTS. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=B7ERIQY9E8A *TR

TRANSMISSION BLEW AT 39,000 MILES. DEALER SAID WE NEEDED AN ABS SENSOR, COST TO US 600.00 SO THEY REPLACED. DEALER DROVE CAR AND CAR DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OUT OF THEIR LOT. TRANSMISSION FAILURE. 5 YEAR 60,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED MARCH 2018. NISSAN NOT WILLING TO EXTEND OR COVER REPAIR. COST TO REPAIR 5000.00 WE BOUGHT CAR 2 YEARS AGO ONLY HAD 25000 MILES.

COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH NO WARNING SIGN AT ALL. A FAILURE SO TRAUMATIZING, IT FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, AND I'M WEARY OF GETTING BEHIND ANOTHER WHEEL. I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITH LITERALLY NO WARNING WHATSOEVER, NO DASH LIGHTS, NO NOISES, JUST BOOM! MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE SO VIOLENTLY I THOUGHT I'D JUST BEEN REAR ENDED. SO I'M DRIVING AT 70MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF I-4, AND MY CAR VIOLENTLY DIED. THANK GOD THE MAN BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION, AND HAD THOUGHT I'D JUST BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WAY I COULD HAVE GOTTEN OVER TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. IF IT WASN'T FOR HIM, I SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLY DIED. HOW DOES A TRANSMISSION FAIL IN SUCH A SPECTACULAR FASHION WITH ZERO WARNING? DOES SOMEONE NEED TO DIE BEFORE NISSAN FINALLY STEPS UP FOR THEIR ERROR AND STOPS SELLING THESE DEATH TRAPS? IS IT ANY COINCIDENCE WARRANTIES ARE BEING DOUBLED ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALL 2003-2010 NISSAN CVT VEHICLES?

CAR FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD. LOSS OF TRANSMISSION WHILE GOING UP HILL WAS VERY DANGEROUS. IDEALS HIGH AND INTERMITTENT WORKING.

CAR IS JERKING SHIFTING IS NOT HAPPENING. WHILE STEPPING ON GAS PEDAL CAR IS NOT MOVING. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT JERKS FORWARD. VERY DANGEROUS. CAR TRANSMISSION IS GOING. NISSAN SAYS NO RECALL. THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE.

EXPERIENCING SUDDEN RPM SPIKES DURING CVT SHIFTS, LACK OF POWER, JERKY SHIFTS AT HIGH REV. LEFT MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER STRANDED IN RURAL AREA AFTER DARK. SHE WAS TRAVELING ABOUT TWO HOURS HOME AT POSTED SPEEDS. SUDDEN RPM SPIKE WITH NO ACCELERATION. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO HER, SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART AND GOT IT MOVING. TRANSMISSION "SLIPPING", JERKING AND SHUDDERING. CONTACTED NISSAN USA AND DEALERSHIP, THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT IN TO CHECK.
