2012 Nissan Sentra Other Problems

Your car's CVT transmission began making a high-pitched whining noise around 55 mph, sometimes shifting hard or revving higher than expected before shifting. While making a left turn, the transmission started jerking and lurching unexpectedly, causing the vehicle behind you to brake hard to avoid a collision—you barely managed to limp the car out of the intersection before having it towed. A mechanic indicated the CVT transmission was failing and would eventually need complete replacement. Fixing this issue will likely require a full CVT transmission replacement or rebuild.

WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND STOPPING QUICKLY, THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING 10 MILES PER HOUR AT 1000 RPM, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, BATTERY LIGHT AND SEAT BELT LIGHT ALL TURNED ON. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE WAS TO TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME WHILE RETURNING TO OUR HOME. AS I WAS GETTING OFF THE INTERSTATE AND STOPPING FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT SEEMS TO DO THIS WITH A HARD STOP AT 1000 RMP OR 10-20 MPH.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WILL JUST SHUT OFF. IT ALSO WILL SHUTOFF WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A COUPLE OF SHOPS AND THEIR TEST SAY BAD OXYGEN SENSOR SO I HAD IT REPLACED, BUT THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE.

THE SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE DRIVING ON A SUBURBAN STREET ON 7/12/2019. NO STONES WERE INVOLVED.

PULLED INTO GAS STATION AND WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE THE CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. IT WAS LOCKED INTO PARK AND HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. SEEN ON CAR COMPLAINTS .COM THAT NISSAN OWNERS HAD CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID NISSAN WASN'T GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

MY NISSAN SENTRA HAS 85,000 MILES ON IT AND MY TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY BROKEN. THE CVT TRANSMISSION THEY PUT IN MY CAR HAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IN IT FOR KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH IT. I WAS DRIVING WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN IT STOPPED MOVING AND I HAD TO PULL OVER AND RESTART IT. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE T AGAIN WOULD NOT MOVE. I FINALLY GOT IT TO MOVE TO WHERE I GOT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO HELP MY FIX IT 100% FULLY KNOWING THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION THEY PUT IN THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS. I SPOKE WITH NISSAN CUSTOMER AFFAIRS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY CAR IS OUT OF THEIR WARRANTY THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME WHEN THIS IS NOT MY FAULT. THEY KEEP PRODUCING CARS THAT HAVE THIS TRANSMISSION IN IT AND KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE IT EXCEPT FOR MY CAR. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT I NEED A CAR FOR. I HAVE A LOAN OUT FOR THE CAR THAT NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT DOES NOT WORK! I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX THE TRANSMISSION THAT NISSAN PUT IN THAT IS KNOWN TO FAULT OUT!

2012 NISSAN SENTRA STARTED MALFUNCTIONING WITH BATTERY REPLACEMENT ON MARCH 25, 2015 AT HANLEES NISSAN IN DAVIS, CA, WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPT 2013 AND WHERE I HAD MOST SERVICE PERFORMED WHILE I OWNED THE VEHICLE. I COMMUTED 1.5 HOURS EACH WAY FOR A NEW JOB IN ROHNERT PARK AND I WAS BECOMING ILL. UNABLE TO LOCATE HOUSING IN THE AREA I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE JOB FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS. I SUSPECT FOUL PLAY WITH THE DAVIS SERVICE DEPARTMENT. CAR STARTED HAVING A LOUD CLICKING SOUND AT JUST LESS THAN 30MPH. DAVIS SERVICED CAR FOR TWO MORE YEARS. THEY CANNOT PROVIDE A DUPLICATE SALES CONTRACT SAYING IT IS LOST. DAVIS REFERRED ME TO KIM AT FAIRFIELD NISSAN AND SHE TOLD ME IT IS MISSING. THIS DIFFICULTY SHOULD NOT EXIST. I ASKED LIENHOLDER CRB AUTO/MECHANICS BANK TO PROVIDE A COPY AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE. I MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO HAVE MY CAR ASSESSED AT NISSAN DAVIS, VACAVILLE, NORTH BAY NISSAN IN PETALUMA (REPLACED CATALYTIC CONVERTER 7-31-17 60, 000 MILES) PROBLEM NOT CORRECTED. VEHICLE NOW DEVELOPED EXTREMELY POOR GAS MILEAGE. I CONTINUED TO GET SICKER. I HAD BEEN ILLEGALLY EVICTED FROM MY RENTAL HOME AT 7172 YOLANO ROAD, DIXON, CA 95620 JUNE 3, 2017 WITH HARSH BULLYING AGAINST LAW IN CONCERT WITH THE SOLANO COUNTY SHERIFF'S (ONGOING INVESTIGATION) I HAD HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DAVIS PRIOR TO LEAVING THAT ADDRESS. I TOLD THEM I GOT REALLY ILL WHEN DRIVING THE CAR. THEY REFUSED DIAGNOSTIC WORK AND RECOMMENDED CLEANING DETAIL OF CAR AT MY EXPENSE. DID POOR JOB AND HAD TO REPEAT. ONCE HOMELESS, I WAS IN THE CAR, RELOCATED TO MARIN COUNTY AND CONTINUED TO DETERIORATE IN HEALTH. (ER VISITS TO DOCUMENT). MILEAGE HAD BEEN 35-40 MPG DECREASED TO15-20 MPG. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO SF NISSAN ON 10-3-17 AND THEY RESET ALL CODES, COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. CAR IMPOUNDED IN DT SF ON 10-6-17; ROBBED OF IMPOUND $500 CASH AND BELONGINGS ON 10-10-17. PLEASE HELP.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TO GO TO WORK, THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR WOULD REV BUT WOULDN'T GO FASTER. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH, PUT ON MY HAZARDS AND STOP WITHOUT BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HAD A COP NOT BEEN NEARBY WHEN IT HAPPENED, I COULD HAVE BEEN. I HAD TO WAIT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR AN EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE RESPONSE MAN TO COME AND PUSH MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. THEN, TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY, I HAD TO WAIT 5 AND A HALF HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME AND TAKE MY CAR TO A SHOP.

VEHICLE HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING AND WHILE ACCELERATING ITS BEGAN MAKING NOISES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AFTER GOING 70 MPH OR MORE. AT TIMES IT SHAKES AS I BEGIN ACCELERATING. I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHIVLE AND IT HAS ONLY 46000 MILES.

I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR A WHILE, ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO THE OIL LIGHT CAM ON I FIGURED IT JUST MEANT I WAS RUNNING LOW, I'VE NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT BUT SOME HOW MY OIL LINE IS LEAKING

CAR LEFT RUNNING IN PARKING LOT AFTER GETTING OUT. MY PROBLEM IS DIFFERENT FROM MANY BUT THERE ARE STILL MANY LIKE ME. THE CAR RUNS SO QUIETLY, WHICH IS A PLUS, BUT IN MY CASE IT HAS HAPPENED THAT I LEAVE MY CAR AND IT IS STILL RUNNING AND I DON'T KNOW IT. I HAVE A SEVERE HEARING LOSS AND DEPEND ON VISUAL CLUES. I WISH THERE WERE SOME WAY TO PUT A LIGHT SOMEWHERE TO ALERT ME. I WORRY THAT THE NEXT TIME I WILL LEAVE THE CAR IN MY GARAGE STILL RUNNING AND THEN NEVER WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING FROM CO POISONING. I AM AN OLDER PERSON AND PRONE TO FORGETTING TO CHECK EVERYTHING BEFORE LEAVING THE CAR. WHAT CAN BE DONE? THIS IS SERIOUS! THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS.

WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND ACCELARATING LESS THAN 1/4 MILE AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AFTER STOPPING AND TRIED TO START AGAIN, AND IT JUST TURNED OVER BUT WOULDN'T STAY STARTED. AFTER ABOUT 3 MINUTES I TURNED THE AC OFF AND TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT STARTED. NOW I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN IT'S SAFETY. MY USED CAR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND I AM NOT ABLE TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED. IT'S BEEN ABOUT A WEEK NOW AND I HAVE NOT HAD IT HAPPEN AGAIN. HOWEVER, NOW THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THAT CHECKED. I HEARD THAT THESE PROBLEMS HAS HAPPENED OTHER 2012 NISSAN SENTRAS, BUT THERE IS NO RECALLED AS OF YET.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED. NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME AND NOTHING FELL ON IT. THE GLASS SHATTERED FOR NO REASON .
