2014 Nissan Sentra Power Train

CVT TRANSMISSION MY CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND HAD LESS THEN 75000 MILE AND MY TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE READ MANY MANY COMPLAINTS AGAIN NISSAN AND DUE TO THE CVT TRANSMISSION I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE TAKEN MORE ACTION IN DOING A RECALL AND PAYING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. MY RPM ON THE CAR FLAIRS AT 40 MILE AND JERSEY I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCE

ONE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME, SPEED WAS @ ABOUT 40 MPH. TOTAL LOST OF POWER, PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOT GO FASTER THAT 5 TO 10 MPH. MADE IT TO THE GAS STATION, HAD IT TOAD TO MY HOME. NEXT DAY, WHEN I TURNED IT ON, IT WAS MAKING A STRANGE WHINING NOISE, DROVE IT 70 MILES TOTAL. @ THE RED LIGHT, TOTAL POWER LOSS AGAIN. THE SAME SCENARIO TRYING TO MAKE IT BACK HOME, ONLY 2 MILES AWAY. TOOK IT OT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE CVT ALONG /WTHE BATTERY/SERPENTINE BELT AND ONE MOTOR MOUNT. MY COMMUTE IS 144 MILES M-F. USED THE CAR ONLY ON TUESDAYS AND THURSDAY, TO BREAK-IN THE NEW CVT. NOTICED DRIVING HOME THE SAME EXACT ISSUES BEFORE THE TOTAL FAILURE, HESITATION WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO ACCELERATE, NOISE COMING OFF THE LEFT FRONT SIDE, SOMETHING TRYING TO ENGAGE AND SLIPPING, THEN FINALLY ENGAGING. NOTICED AGAIN WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN LIGHT TRAFFIC, THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO. IT IS CURRENTLY @ THE DEALERSHIP TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I HAVE THE RECEIPT FOR THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE @ THE TIME OF THE CVT FAILURE HAD ONLY 80,000 + MILES.

TAKATA RECALL. CVT TRANSMISSION JERK SHRUDDERING CVT CODE... WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. OTHER TRANSMISSION WHISTLES SND STARTING TO JERK AGAIN

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE PURCHASE OF VEHICLE. CAR JUTTERS ,SPEED FAILURE, CANT CHANGE GEARS ,SUDDEN STOP DURING OPERATION. BURNED TRANSMISSION UNIT.

I NOTICED A FEW WEEKS AGO THAT THERE WAS A DELAY WHILE PULLING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT. WE WERE ON THE HWY AND THE RPMS STARTED FLUCTUATING AND THE CAR STARTED JERKING STRONG . WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED ON THE HWY AS I WAS PULLING OVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

CAR JERKING SPUTTERING AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING,FOUND IT HARD TO MAINTAIN SPEED. RPM CONTROL ERRATIC. NO RECALL , THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY SHIFTING INTO REVERSE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO VALDOSTA NISSAN CADILLAC (3685 INNER PERIMETER RD, VALDOSTA, GA 31602, (229) 242-7325) WHO QUOTED A REPAIR COST OF OVER $700. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE TO 60 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT FELT AS IF THE GEAR SHIFTED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRAND PRAIRIE FORD (972-975-9621, LOCATED AT 701 E PALACE PKWY, GRAND PRAIRIE, TX 75050) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT SOMETHING INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

TRANSMISSION MAKES LOUD NOISE, DEALER SAYS IT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. VEHICULE HAS 61,000 MILES. IT IS STANDARD. IT STARTS ESPORADICALLY IN MOVEMENT BUT CONTINUES WHEN STOPPED. THEN GOES AWAY AND COMES BACK. SOUNDS LIKE A CAN OF CRACKERS

2014 NISSAN SENTRA BROKE DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. (PARKING IT IN A SPOT IN A MEDICAL OFFICE BUILDING LOT. ) WHILE TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS, TO REVERSE AND STRAIGHTEN OUT, IT SIMPLY TURNED OFF. I RESTARTED AND IT RAN NORMALLY IN "PARK" AND "NEUTRAL," BUT STALLED EVERY TIME I PUT IT INTO ANY GEAR. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP WHERE I WAS INFORMED IT WOULD NEED A NEW CVT, AND THEN TOWED TO THE DEALER. I BELIEVE THIS CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND IT IS ONLY THROUGH LUCK THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE ROAD AT SPEED. SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH ONLINE INDICTS THESE ISSUE ARE COMMON TO THE SENTRA AND OTHER MODELS FROM THE SAME COMPANY, THAT IT HAS TSB'S AND ALSO MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. THE CAR HAS ALSO BEEN TO THE DEALER RECENTLY, WHO REPLACED THE VALVE BODY AND THE CVT FLUID, BUT THE CVT FAILED AGAIN WITHIN 90 DAYS. NOW, THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACING AND IT'S BEING DONE SO, IN MY OPINION' WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE BY NISSAN THAT IT IS LIKELY TO FAIL AGAIN. THE CAR ALSO HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES IN THE PAST WITH THE O/D OFF LIGHT ENGAGING WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT MY KNOWINGLY TOUCHING THE BUTTON ON THE SHIFT COLUMN. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT SHUTS DOWN A CAR WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN, OR THAT SHIFTS OUT OF OVERDRIVE WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED, WITHOUT THE DRIVER MAKING A CONCIOUS CHOICE TO DO SO.

THE CVT TRANSMISSION ON MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA (ONLY 50K MILES ON IT) SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND DRIVE THE ENGINE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT AND AS IT WAS EXPECTED, THE CVT TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN.

AS WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE SPEED STARTED TO REDUCE ON ITS OWN. THERE WAS SOME VIBRETIONS.AS WE OUSHED IN AND WENT UP A HILL ON THE STREET, THE CAR SLOWED TO A HALT. THE CAR CUT OFF 3 TIMES. IT WOULD ALLOW A START, BUT NO GEAR CHANGES. THEN, IT WOULDNT START. HAD TO GET A TRANSMISSION AS TORQUE CONVERTER AND OTHER WERE OUT.

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. CAUSES JERKING, SHAKING, SHIFT FAILURE AND OTHER PROBLEMS.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR WOULD NOT NOT GO INTO THIRD GEAR. THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND I HAD LOST ALL ACCELERATION POWER. I WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON BECAUSE NO LIGHTS TURNED ON LETTING ME KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. HAD TO GET TOWED AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR ANYTHING ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. NISSAN REALLY SCREWED PEOPLE ON THIS

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR WORK 9 MONTHS AGO, THE CVT TRANSMISSION IS OUT, AND NISSAN SAID THEY ARE NOT COVERING THE TRANSMISSION EVEN THOUGH THE INTERNET IS FILLED WITH LAWSUITS, AND EXTENDED WARRANTYS. NISSAN SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS ALREADY REPLACED AT 16K MILES AND THEY WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILED THE CAR JERKS, AND SHUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING

MY 2014 NISSAN SENTRA STARTED TO EXPERIENCE SUDDEN SHAKING AND ISSUES WITH RPM'S, IT WONT CHANGE GEARS AND ACCELERATION PROBLEMS. ESPECIALLY WHEN IM AT A STOPLIGHT, IT WON'T ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT MAKES A WIREY SOUND AND IT ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT. I CAN BARELY GO PAST 60 MPH AND IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND CAME ACROSS MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN SENTRA. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESTART POWER TRAIN THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE RPM'S WENT DOWN. THE VEHILCE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE DETERMINED TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,000.

THE TRANSMISSION JUST STOP SHIFTING GEARS

TRANSMISSION JUDDER, INCLUDING SHAKE, SHUDDER, AND VIBRATION. SLOW, SHUTTERING AT ACCELERATION. LONG TIME TO RESPOND TO INPUT FROM THE PEDAL. SAFETY HAZARD WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A BUSY ROAD. CLANGING AND RATTLING NOISE. DOWNSHIFT PROBLEMS. THESE ISSUES ARE ONGOING AND STARTED AT 50,000 MILES.

CAR IS LESS THEN 100K MILES TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY STOPS WORKING LEAVING US STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC DURING A TURN.

CAR STARTED JERKING SO TOOK IT IN TO GET SERVICE , A TRANSMISSION SERVICE WAS DONE BUT MECHANIC MADE US AWARE THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NISSAN SENTRA FROM 2013-2016 AND THAT NISSAN HAVE NOT DONE NOTHING YET . CAR IS GETTING WORST AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE A 4K TRANSMISSION AS I AM A FULL TIME STUDENT

OUR CVT TRANSMISSION JUST LET GO ON A 2014 SENTRA SR WITH 89,000. IT WAS SLIPPING, BUCKING AND STALLING THE CAR. TOWED IT TO THE DEALER SAID THE COST WOULD BE $2200 TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND A EXHAUST TIMING SOLENOID. IF THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, (I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2200) IT WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $4300. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE BUT THEY WERE OF NO HELP. THEY SAID IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY DIDN'T EVEN OFFER TO PAY 50%. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS IS OUR 5TH NISSAN. NEVER WILL I BUY A NISSAN VEHICLE.

PURCHASED MY 2014 SENTRA BRAND NEW(124 MILES) IN NOVEMBER 2014. I KEEP UP WITH REG SCHEDULED MAINT BECAUSE I USE MY CAR FOR WORK, I'M IN SALES. MID-JUNE I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE A JOLTING FROM MY CAR WHEN I STARTED TO ACCELERATE. ONCE I REACHED 40MPH THE JOLTING AND TUGGING FEELING WOULD SOMEWHAT STOP, THAT IS UNTIL I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAD MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED, THROTTLE BODY CLEANED, ENGINE FILTER REPLACED, AND IT STILL JOLTED AND TUGGED. PRETTY MUCH EVERY YEAR BUT 2014 IS INCLUDED IN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM FROM THE CRAPPY CVT. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A TRANSMISSION GARAGE AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. SAID CVT WAS BAD, LIKE ALL NISSAN TRANSMISSIONS, AND THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE PRICE THEY WERE GOING TO CHARGE WAS A LITTLE STEEP BUT IT ALSO CAME WITH A 3 YEAR WARRANTY, ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THE TRANSMISSION IN 3 YEARS AND THEY FIX FOR FREE. I WAS TALKED INTO GOING TO NISSAN TO GET A NISSAN CERTIFIED DIAGNOSTIC AND PAY $105 FOR SOMETHING I ALREADY KNEW. THEY CALLED ME 2 DAYS AFTER MY APPOINTMENT TO TELL ME THAT IT WAS INDEED THE CVT , SURPRISE SURPRISE. I MADE A CLAIM WITH NISSAN TO SEE IF I COULD GET ANY OUT OF REGULAR WARRANTY ASSISTANCE FOR MY 4 YEAR OLD CAR THAT I STILL OWE A LOT OF MONEY ON. AFTER A WEEK OF WAITING AND $200+ DOLLARS IN RENTAL CAR FEES THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR WAITING, NISSAN GETS BACK TO ME SAYING THEY CAN OFFER A LITTLE BIT OF ASSISTANCE. I GUESS A LITTLE BIT IS BETTER THAN NOTHING BUT NOW I AM FORCE TO WAIT 2+ WEEKS BC THE DEALERSHIP ONLY HAS 1 NISSAN CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN TO WORK ON 15 PLUS VEHICLES A DAY. THERE A 2 TRANSMISSION JOBS AHEAD OF MINE THAT HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A WHILE AND THEY DID 6 CVT REBUILDS LAST MONTH. NISSAN OR THEIR DEALERSHIPS DO NOT SUPPORT THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH LOANERS AND THEY ARE ONLY OFFERING A 1 YEAR/12K WARRANTY ON THEIR WORK. NISSAN IS SCREWING ALL OF US WITH THIS CVT ISSUE!
