We bought this vehicle brand new in 2016, and it seem to be a nice vehicle until it hit 30,000 miles. When we hit 30,000 miles in April 2020, the brake system failed, causing a passenger side collision, however, there were no injuries. Then in November 2020, the transmission went out.

I recently encountered a distressing situation with my Nissan Sentra, where the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) unexpectedly failed, resulting in the need for my car to be towed. This unforeseen incident left me stranded and unable to operate my vehicle. The failure of the CVT transmission not only caused inconvenience but also posed safety concerns as the car became inoperable.

My Nissan Sentra is constantly “jerking” and “stalling” when accelerating. It’s not coming to speed and completely stopping in traffic. The vehicle seems like it’s struggle to switch gears and giving problems with the transmission.

There is a technicians bulletin for my car and is a known issue but nissan wants to charge to fix the issue. The issue is the piece is malfunctioning and has to be reprogrammed. When you are trying this problem makes the car stall a bit and could be dangerous if pulling out and the car is not able to obtain a higher speed.

It is sporadic, when I accelerated there is hesitation in the transmission. I almost didn't make my left hand turn fast enough to not get T Boned it has been happening since I got the car in 2016. The dealer is aware of the issue and they said they adjusted something but it keeps coming back.

REPLACED BY NISSAN, 2ND TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 96K MILES, NISSAN WANTED TO REPLACE AGAIN. REQUESTED THEY TAKE VEHICLE BACK. SAW LEMON LAW INFO SHOWING ISSUES FROM 2012 - 2018. FYI VEHICLE STOPPED 1ST TIME ON FREEWAY. 2ND TIME IN MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTION BOTH TIMES HAD TO BE TOWED.

My transmission seems to slide when driving. The vehicle is a 2015 and was purchased brand new in the spring of 2016. I've contacted the dealership and was informed I am out of warranty and spoke with my mechanic who confirms the transmission is slipping.

This car makes all kinds of noises like it's going to fall apart, it hesitates when at a stop light like if it has a transmission problem. The noises are when you slow down for a stop and then get ready to take off. It's like if it's an old car creaking and sounds like something is going to fall off.

My transmission messed up today, not sure exactly sure what is it yet. From what the into I gathered today, my RPM goes over 1 through 2(+) thousand up while my MPH either barely moves or stays the same. When parking my car in my driveway, I noticed my car moving forward while the gear it's on is Reverse.
