Nissan Sentra Reviews

Our Sentra has been a very reliable car with very few nonmajor problems. The gas mileage is pretty good, around 21m.p.g. We get reminder cards for yearly oil changes. It's mid size, 5 passengers max. Average comfort for short trips. I would definitely buy this make and model car again. The dealership where we bought the car has been very good about servicing our car. They have made a change we don't particularly care for, you no longer can call to make an appointment for getting service for your car when it needs servicing, you just go to the dealership on a first come first serve basis. They will give you a ride when you drop your car off, but there are no loaner cars.

Is very comfortable. A lot of space, easy to drive and love the fact that it doesn't burn too much gas. I'm a mother of 5 kids - 3 teenagers, 2 little ones and fit perfectly with no problem. Also the interior are amazing.

2011 Nissan Sentra. Bought used. Took it in to get air fixed and found out it had been wrecked, severely damaged and put back together incorrect by whomever. Not taken to shop, because nothing showed on VIN check. Moral of story is...I've had the car a year, taken on a few road trips...and because of the sturdy construction of this car it is impaired, but I feel comfortable with it. Would recommend.

Good on gas and very affordable. Also, very spacious and a lot of room in the trunk. Push start as well also good body style. Easy to function and bluetooth connection. Good highway mileage and doesn't take much to fill up.

Great vehicle, can be for a family car or sport. Great choices of body styles. Easy financings and won't tale a person 8yrs to pay off a car note. Nissan are easy and fun to drive. The features it comes with are awesome. Safety first always.

Nissan Sentra is an exceptional vehicle, very safe, smooth, comfortable. I personally love the Nissan Sentra and recommend it, besides it is a beautiful and very well made. You need to drive the vehicle to know how awesome it drives and how smooth it is plus roomy.

Nissan Sentra Sv is a safe car to drive. It has a lot of safety signals and features. I like my car. I would recommend this car to anyone. The ride is smooth just needs to be a 6 cylinder instead of 4 cylinder but the gas mileage is awesome.

The '94 Sentra has a great engine. My car has over 220K miles and still gets close to 40mpg. In my opinion, they stopped making this engine because it was too reliable and durable. I almost wish I had bought two of the car (except for the fact that it doesn't have airbags).

I have a 2017 Sentra S 6 speed manual transmission. The manual transmission offers greater acceleration than the CVT. I love this car. It is fun to drive, handles well, and is extremely comfortable. I get from 31 to 38 mph, depending upon conditions. The Sentra has the most interior room in its class. This car has a huge trunk. The only down side is the car is slightly underpowered. When the weather turns cold, the tire monitor alarms.. Replacing the cabin air filter is expensive and not a DYI project.

For me the most important part of an economy car is the reliability factor. This car has never let me down, it has always started, never quit running, ever. Low maintenance, very low cost, great gas mileage. Replacement parts, headlights, brakes, etc., cheaper than most cars, this can be a big money saver. Sentras are a good ride, quiet and handles well and is excellent in the snow. Overall, Sentra should be rated among the best of any compacts on the market.

2017 Nissan rouge reliable, great mpgs but not the best awd system unless you use snow tires. A bit noisy on the freeway. Could use more horsepower. Nice interior and exterior. Like the safety surrounded system.

I bought a 2013 Nissan Sentra. At 77,088 miles my transmission went in my vehicle. The next day I received a letter in the mail from Nissan saying that this was a common issue with these models. I was hopefully that maybe something could be done. Unfortunately I have been without my vehicle for 3 weeks, was not offered a rental. The Nissan dealership and Bel Air Maryland told me that I had to have something more dramatic than my car not accelerating in an intersection happen to me for anything to be done. Nissan consumer affairs barely contacted me throughout this process. I left numerous voicemails. All in all I will not be buying another Nissan vehicle ever again. This company is not concerned about their customers, or their well being and by reading the reviews, they are not worried about their reputation either. I highly recommend going somewhere else if you plan on buying a vehicle.

My 2013 Nissan Sentra has had the same type of CVT problem related symptoms as many others have posted (complete loss of acceleration with the engine revving high with rpms at 5 almost as if if you suddenly were in neutral but actually in drive with transmissions issues). The local Nissan dealership on Wendover ave in Greensboro, NC diagnosed the car as needing a new valve body and they replaced it. 3 weeks later the car is having the same problems again with CVT slippage and loss of acceleration. There was never an engine light and no Diagnosis codes were found when I scanned for them using the CVTz50 app which reads TCM codes on 2013 Nissan Sentras.

Bought a new 2018 Nissan Sentra. Leaked DUST as if the windows were down. 1200 miles, 6 hours drive time, plus time at the dealer finally fixed. Came from factory with a missing part. Am I not worth anything?

I bought a used Nissan with good mileage last year. Out of nowhere car wouldn't go past 45 mph on the freeway and automatically gave up. Had to call Nissan and said they couldn't cover and now I'm stuck having to find and pay the mechanic and 2000.00 for a used transmission.

I purchased my 2015 Nissan Sentra brand new. I drove off the lot with the mileage that I put on it when test driving it. I had the perfect car until 2017... My transmission went out. I had to get it replaced. No problem.... It happens right. 2018 my transmission goes out AGAIN. It gets repaired. This month (August) I take my car back to Nissan of Gallatin because while trying to speed up to at least 70 while getting on the intersection, my car wouldn't go past 45 mph. You could hear my car trying to go but it was staying at 45mph. I had to stay in the slow lane. Cars that entered the intersection from other places got on and I had to slow down a little and that's when my car cut off. So now I'm on side of the road in morning rush hour traffic with my children in the car.

I bought a brand new off the lot 2019 Sentra. It didn’t have enough gas to go on the freeway. In the streets it drove well. But when I tried to go on the freeway it didn’t have the transmission power to speed up to the speed limit of 65. The RPM would go to 7-8 in the red. It enters the freeway at 40 mph, had to go on the side of the road to slowly speed up. I took it to get service and they said that that car will always perform that way. This car is a danger to the driver. Nissan needs to recall it before someone gets killed.

2013 Nissan Sentra sr. 60k miles the CVT transmission had a total failure. My warranty covered it. My warranty is 12k miles expired and has failed again. I took the car in 4k miles before warranty expiration and told them it was failing. They tested it said nothing showed up and sent me home. I told them something was wrong and they didn't listen to me. I explained that the rpms were going crazy, it was pulling and shifting hard, and that when using cruise control on the highway flat ground the rpms were jerking around. They told me it is sensitive and that is normal and not to worry about it. I owe 8k and the car will not drive at all!!!

I leased a Nissan Sentra in April of 2018. Since then I have had nothing but problems. My car will randomly not start. It has been in the dealership multiple times and they cannot figure out what is wrong. I contacted Nissan and they are absolutely no help at all. They are trying to put it on me and I am stuck with an unreliable car. Do not purchase a Sentra! Nothing but problems

My 2015 Lease Nissan Sentra was turned over to the dealership on March 17, 2019. I am getting calls night and day to pay for a car that I don’t have. I have a new lease that replaced the 2015 Nissan. How can this situation be fix. It’s on my credit report as being delinquent. The car is just sitting at the dealership and no one is doing anything. I have made several calls, also the salesman have tried to get this resolved. I need help.

2013 Nissan Sentra CVT Transmission. Seems to me there are a lot of Transmission problems with these cars, so I think Nissan should recall especially if they want people to buy their product. I am having transmission problems also, and this is very costly especially when you have already spent a lot of money buying the car.

I bought my car with 8 miles on it and a peace of mind. This is my 1st new car. I was on the interstate going 55mph and my car stopped accelerating suddenly! Almost causing a disaster! I had my car towed to Nissan. They replaced a brake switch. 205.00 and 15 mins after I picked up my car, the same thing happened!!! This time I was going uphill on a bridge! Towed back to Nissan....They tell me it's 3600.00 to fix my transmission! This car is not even 3 years old! The service department said THIS IS A NORMAL THING! Whaaat??? Both of my USED 2010 rouge and 2012 Infiniti never had this issue. My warranty ran out about 9k miles ago. They offered a 60/40 payment option from the manufacturer (if the defects are approved) if this is approved, they pay 60% and I pay 40%= 1473.00 for me. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED WITH NISSAN AND THIS STUPID CVT TRANSMISSION.

Purchased my 2015 Nissan Sentra SR with less than 15,000 miles. At 20,000 the issues began with my transmission. It would slip shifting from one gear to the other, no acceleration power, and at times would lose all power. Here I am at 35,000 miles and on a second transmission and it has failed once more. Save yourself the headache, the debt and avoid at all costs!

I bought a 2014 Sentra in 2016, and the transmission is toast. I floored the gas and it wouldn’t move, would stay at under 1 RPM. I knew something was off when I was driving on the highway in cruise control and the RPM would go erratically from 2-3-4, then back to 2. I was hoping it would be engine coils, only few hundred to fix. Not a chance. And to add to my headache, while towing, the steering wheel didn’t lock even though key wasn’t in it so the tires moved while hooking up the car on the tow. Then we used the key to move the steering wheel back in position, and once I closed the door, the car locked itself with the key inside!!! Never happens before, usually this car locks while you are driving.

I purchased a 2013 NISSAN SENTRA from a reputable dealer and I only drove the car to and from work. I had the oil changed every 3000 miles, and I started to feel the jerking and hesitation. I called my local Nissan dealer, and they said it would be 199 for a diagnostic fee. I said I wanted the transmission fluid changes, and they told me that Nissan doesn't recommend that it be changed in the closed system until 60,000 miles. I had the service manager take it for a spin, and he said it was because I hit a pothole... I then had to do the diagnostic only to find out I needed a new transmission!! At 51,000 miles!!! I was so upset, and the service manager gave me the number to corporate Nissan...

After returning from serving overseas in June of 2016, my family and I purchased a 2015 Nissan Sentra still under warranty with approximately 20,000 miles. The intent of purchasing a "newer" vehicle with a warranty was for peace of mind under the assumption that it would last for many years to come. The Nissan Sentra was comfortable, had some nice features and had great gas mileage so we chose it over "T" brand...big mistake.

I financed my 2015 Nissan Sentra brand new, it only has 19k miles on it, and it's at the dealership for the 2nd time "waiting on approval from Nissan to fix it". This trans started going out at around 5k miles, just didn't realize it until I was told what the signs were. It started losing a lot of power, jerks, screeches upon accelerating, pulls, makes a loud metal clanking sound at slow speeds, only goes about 30mph up inclines, and revs up or slows way down while on freeway. DANGEROUS! The good folks at Nissan Corp are fully aware of this problem, have had several lawsuits already, and are STILL putting these faulty transmissions in their 2019s! They own this transmission manufacturing company by the way. The problem is, even if they "fix" it, it will never truly be fixed. Because they keep putting in the same faulty CVT transmission systems in them. Some people are on their 2nd to 4th transmission replacement.

I recently bought a 2017 Nissan Sentra SV. Bought it used. With only 44,000 miles. At first the car ran and drove awesome. But now it's getting where the transmission starts slipping when accelerating hard-ish. And sometimes it goes into limp mode and won't go over 30mph. When driving it normal, it's got to where it will shift through all the gears, but it takes about 4 seconds for it to fully shift into overdrive. And once it does, it jerks real hard...

I bought a used 2015 Nissan Sentra in 2017. It had high miles but bought it from a Nissan Dealership and they said the car was in great condition. Fast forward 1 year and the transmission has gone out like all the other reviews on here. Five thousand dollars is what they want to fix it. I am still paying on the car. Not sure what to do next. I feel like Nissan should stand behind their product. They refuse to help and so does the dealer. They absolutely know there is a problem with these transmissions. Class action lawsuit may be what is needed! DO NOT BUY NISSAN! It's not worth the risk of paying double what a car is worth to keep it running when it's only a few years old!

I just bought a 2014 Nissan Sentra. Total miles it has 45k. I was driving down on the highway and all of a sudden I heard a popping noise and I stepped on the gas and it wouldn't go like it wouldn't accelerate. It will go so so slow. I research online what could be it and all I found was problem with transmission.

I bought a 2014 Nissan Sentra for my son with 20,000 ish miles on it. Around the 30,000 mile mark it had a complete transmission failure. Nissan would not do anything. They are aware that they put faulty transmissions in these cars and refuse to do anything about it. This car is my first and last Nissan. Nissan should be ashamed of themselves.

Purchased a Nissan Sentra for my daughter as her first car. The CVT Transmission failed and it cannot be repaired. Replacement costs more than the book value of the car. Nissan will do nothing to assist us even though they know that these transmissions are problematic. Tried to post a more detailed summary but ConsumerAffairs said it doesn't meet their criteria. Everything I posted was factual. There was no profanity, threats or personal insults but CA won't post it.

I bought my car last January of this year under the name of Danny **. I'm very update when it comes to paying all of bills especially my car. So I ask my dealer if I can received my bills at my address and they agreed. At the past few months I receiving my bills and open my app to monitor my payments, but these month of June up to November I'm not receiving any of my bills so I open my app to checked my payments and unfortunately I can't open it so I make a call to NMAC to get some information about Danny and she answers I will not access my account because it was somebody's name at the account instead of me. So I called Danny and asking him about his 4 last digits and I know he was the one that updated my app at my billing address.

Our CVT transmission just let go on a 2014 Sentra SR with 89,000. We leased the car brand new and decided to purchase it after the lease because it was a great car. Bad move. The transmission started 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. Update: The valve body was removed and the transmission is destroyed. 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 new Nissan. NEVER will I buy a Nissan Vehicle.

My uncle leased a 2015 Nissan Sentra and I bought mine. Both cars started to have the CVT problem presenting about 25-30k miles. He brought his in to check on the problem and Nissan couldn't find anything wrong. Within days of them checking the car, he was stuck on a major parkway because the car couldn't get above 30mph. I just had my car looked at and Nissan once again couldn't find anything wrong. So many people have the same complaint where the car loses all power when traveling at high speeds mostly uphill and yet Nissan has done nothing to make good on this product. I would never purchase another Nissan and will strongly urge anyone I know not to as well.

I have been a Nissan owner for 10 years. I first bought a 2006 Nissan Sentra in 2009. That car literally lasted me 8 years. It ran until the bitter end, and was reliable. So, when I was purchasing a newer vehicle (new to me), I went with the 2015 Nissan Sentra, in 2017. It drove incredible at first. Did a trans flush, and everything was great, up until recently. After another 30,000 miles, (mind you, I bought the vehicle at 39,000 miles), I did another transmission oil change. A week went by and I noticed while driving on the parkway, that when going up between the speed of 75-80 mph, the rpm gauge began surging, and it felt like the car was losing its power. I immediately went back to the mechanic, and had him hook it up to his computer. There was no problem.

I was sold a used Nissan Sentra 2011 from 2 1/2 years ago and I've been having numerous, safety issues with this vehicle. My wife and I complained about these issues before and not receiving any assistance. The vehicle jerks while driving 20 mph, cuts off when we drive in reverse and the rpms will shoot up high and drop down low without being on cruise control and no matter how hard your foot hit the gas, the car will not speed up. We are extremely disappointed... We have 3 children and my wife fear that this car will cause her to be in a terrible, deadly accident because the vehicle will rpms causes the vehicle to drive fast on its own before it shoots back down. I've already replaced a sensor for the vehicle and it didn't change anything. Year, Make, and Model: 2011 NISSAN SENTRA-4 CYL.

Bought a 2014 Nissan Sentra with only 13k miles. Now at 74k miles I start hearing horrible noises coming from the engine, and getting a horrible jerking motion when in low gear. On my way to work this morning about to get on the highway the car just dies out of nowhere no lights or indication. Got it towed to the dealer, and like others have stated the transmission is shot! Horrible experience. Never buying a Nissan again. My 2005 Mazda 3 with 140k miles is running better than this junk Nissan Sentra.

Sentra SR CVT transmission began slipping, revving high and jerking. Extended warranty ran out 10 months prior. Dealership performed service campaign CVT Reprogramming, but Nissan Consumer Affairs required "Diagnostics" to be run. Diagnostics determined that CVT transmission was not serviceable and would require replacement. That is a $4,000 repair on a vehicle with a $4,500 trade value. Nissan "reviewed" my case and decided not to provide any help. Dealership was happy to give me $1,000 for vehicle on trade. This is a known issue and Nissan is not standing by it. They must be making a lot of money on selling new transmissions and running diagnostics on them.

2nd Nissan my wife and I have owned in 6 years, 2nd Nissan to not reach 120000 miles and the transmission goes out, 2nd Nissan where the mechanics from Nissan all stated that Nissan transmissions are crap. 2nd time calling Nissan consumer affairs and being told there are issues with the transmission and they will do a couple of recall things but they will not help cover the cost of a new transmission. Avoid Nissan's like the plague unless you have $4000-$6000 lying around every 5 years for a new transmission.

TIP: If your vehicle is out of warranty and your CVT transmission failed, get the car diagnosed at a dealership and complain to Nissan Consumer Affairs 1-800-647-7261. Cost about $150 for the diagnosis, but if you complain enough and they feel like helping you, could save on the repair and waive the $150. See below. Bought a used 2013 Sentra with 80,000 miles, thinking it would be a reliable car for years to come. At 105,000 miles, transmission fails right outside the Lincoln Tunnel in NYC. Shakes and shudders to a complete stop in Manhattan traffic. Dealership quoted $4,400 to replace. Don't have the money and now I don't have a car. Called Nissan consumer affairs to complain. Car's within 5 year warranty but above 60,000 mile mark so out of warranty. Complained and let them know how disappointed I was, thought Nissan was a reliable brand. I was wrong.

We bought a 2016 Nissan Sentra SV in April of 2018. We complained of a whining noise but the mechanic couldn’t do anything because they couldn’t see or touch it. Now it’s November and the transmission was shaky and would seem like no power while on the freeway. I just took it in yesterday 11/09/2018 and they said the transmission needs replaced but it’s out of warranty. The staff was very helpful in trying to help bring it was just out of warranty but I called the place we bought it from and we have a 1 yr warranty through them so it’s covered. Thank goodness. Beware of vehicles with CVT transmissions. Transmission needs replaced after 60,000 miles.

I bought a Sentra 2015 at 40,000 miles. The ride was alright for the first month, after that, the transmission would start glitching and throwing me off from eco mode. The ride on this car is unpredictable, especially when driving in the city. This car is jeopardizing the safety of everyone on the road. It is definitely a car that was designed by a company with no virtue. Let's all boycott Nissan.

The transmission has an internal failure and it flutters. The car is 5 years old. I’ve already paid $1k because the air con 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.

My first Sentra was a 2011 base with 34000 miles on it. I put about 100000 on it and traded in 2018. The most expensive thing I had happen was air conditioner went out - $600. Long as you don’t drive it like a race car and keep regular maintenance, it’s a solid car. I’m 60 years old and for the first time in my life, traded in a car for an updated version of the same car - 2017 Sentra turbo. It has everything my mother’s Volvo has - back up camera, front brake alarm, leather seats, separate climate controls, Sunroof, turbo, etc. except not the $80k price. Nissan offers that power train warranty too for the life of the car loan. I’m impressed.

I obtained my Nissan 2014 Sentra on September 12, 2015 as a used rental that had 25K on it. Since having it, I have put on approximately 20K additional miles. When driving home from work on Friday, July 6, 2018, my car stopped responding to my pushing down on the gas pedal and refused to accelerate without the RPM leaping and jumping around. After it struggled for a little while, the vehicle's speed plummeted out of nowhere from 65 mph to 30 mph while on the highway.

My grandparents purchased me a 2013 Nissan Sentra as my first vehicle. Sadly at 81k the transmission went out. Unfortunately it is no longer covered under warranty. Based on reviews this is not the vehicle to buy considering the lowest quote I received to replace it was $2700.00. Please please if you are in the market for a vehicle DO NOT PURCHASE Nissan!!!!

This Nissan Sentra is very old and a piece of garbage. Like 2001-ish old. Very sun-damaged. Kinda scratched up. My parents bought it back when I was 17 years old and still learning to drive a car. I had recently gotten my permit and enrolled in driving classes. Bought in case I wreck it so my parents don't have me destroy a new car. Service Engine light goes on and off randomly. Fan belt screeches in the morning. Headlights too dim. Horn sometimes doesn't work. It's small and I'm small so that's good. But I still can barely see over the steering wheel and it's a pain in the butt.

I love Nissan Sentra, it's a great buy and I've never had problems with it. It is easy to drive. It isn't too big or too small. I get great gas mileage. I can easily do things to it myself like wash, change the oil, check the tires. Furthermore, I like that when I take the key out of the ignition I can still roll up or down the windows as long as none of the doors have been opened. However, the oil light is the only thing I have a problem with. Make the oil change light easier to reset. When I take it to have the oil changed the people there never reset it and I can't get it to reset either. It's a pain to always see that light on when I know I take care of my car.

My old car was a 2000 Honda. It still had a pretty decent trade in value since I only had 80k miles on it but it started honking randomly so I had to get a new car. I have had Nissan for 3 years now and have had no issues with it. I like the Bluetooth and the seats are comfortable. I also like the keyless engine start and that's also a downfall because once the key fob is out of batteries, you need to replace it. One more thing that could make your day go from average to awful and imagine not being able to start the car because of the key fob running out of battery. There should still be a place to insert the physical key to start in case of emergencies. I don't like that the car has too many buttons. Some of them I still don't know how to use and I couldn't figure out how to see the time without reading the manual.

Love it. This model came with cruise control which I would need when I moved 400 miles away for school. There is eco boost, volume controls on the wheel. There is the ability to track gas mileage, your current speed, and miles remaining within the tank on the dash. All controls are easily accessible and it is comfortable to drive! The 4 cylinder motor is a little slow on the get go but once it's up there it's fine. Mileage is fantastic, brakes aren't too touchy and it comes with many options for upgrades. But I wish it came with satellite radio and a screen navigation because of where I live now. I also wish the back seat folded up differently for larger dogs and that there was an option for an internal vacuum system. But the Nissan Sentra is a great beginner vehicle and would last into early stages of starting a family. Safety ratings were great, as of yet (4 years) this model hasn't needed any recalls.

I really liked my Nissan Sentra. It was great on gas and required very low maintenance. I drove that car everywhere on hardly any gasoline! It was a four door car, it was nice looking, and had a great stereo in it! It was very easy to drive, and handled the road like a race car! But I would maybe have changed the seats, they weren't that comfortable on road trips! Other than that, I would gladly buy a Nissan for my next car!

I have had a pleasant experience with Nissan. Bought Sentra used and no major fixes have been necessary. It has a wonderful interior that is extremely practical for my needs. This car also has a great trunk and storage area with the ability to flip down the back seats. It is a good durable vehicle and the look of it is nice. Furthermore, it sips gas: wonderful mileage. It drives and rides extremely smooth. I feel very safe when I am in this car. While I would definitely recommend it to a family member and feel good in doing so, I would make it four wheel drive which would be hard to do for a car. I also would like to see nit picky things such as heat warmers and a better convection air system. The heat and air conditioning do not reach the back of the car very well.

The Nissan Sentra is very reliable and safe. I've had mine for up around 5 years used and it's never even gotten close to breaking down. It's comfortable to ride in, especially on long road trips, and gets great gas mileage. I've traveled long distance several times and there was almost no need to refuel during the trip. I enjoy how I can travel over 100 miles on the highway and only have to get gas when I'm done. I also enjoy the seating. I feel very comfortable and confident driving this car. However, the gear shift is a bit 'slippery'. When I shift gears it goes past the one I want and it takes a couple tries to get the right gear when it goes right past 'drive' to 'reverse', etc.

I bought a new 2008 Sentra and it has been incredible. No major expenses until last year and normal wear and tear for 170k miles. A/C compressor and motor mounts. I had been incredibly satisfied with this car. So much so, that I bought a second one at 96k miles for my new driver daughter. Both cars, just this past month, have begun doing the engine revving and no acceleration. Letting off the gas, then hitting it again seems to work in all instances - thus far. However, from what I read in other posts, this will be temporary and eventually, it won't shift at all.

Son purchased a used 2014 Sentra with 101,000 miles, based on my advice from experience with older Nissans. At 121,000 miles the CVT transmission went out. 1k passed the warranty that Nissan had extended because of all the issues with the CVT transmissions. The Nissan brand is no longer a brand of quality and reliability.

I have a 2014 Nissan Sentra back in June 2017. Transmission was replaced under warranty. On May 21 2018 while I was driving on freeway notice my car was losing power, and took it to the nearest Nissan Dealer. May 22nd received a call stating I needed a new transmission again that they were going to submit approval to Nissan corp. Nissan declined new transmission and had them reprogram and added transmission fluid.

I purchased my Nissan Sentra 2014 SV (used and mileage was 82,869. I drove this car for 5 months and now the transmission is out, no good. I took it to three places with the first being Sutherlin Nissan in Holly Springs Ga. All three service mechanics told me it was the CVT transmission and now I need a new transmission. The cost of the transmission is anywhere from 3, 000 to 5, 000 dollars that I don't have. The warranty on the transmission has expired and there is nothing that Nissan or Drive Time is willing to do at this time. My transmission is gone and I drive for a living - so not only has this affected me emotionally but financially. I am now seeking legal consultation to see what my next move will be. I have this on my plate and still they are looking for a car payment soon. This is crazy!

This Nissan sentra 2013 FE+S is junk. I bought it brand new and I just finished paying it off. I noticed a few months ago strange sounds and slips from the transmission. Today I completely lost power while driving and was almost hit. The transmission just stopped working for like 10 seconds, then kicked back in. Nissan is garbage and I will never buy one again. From the looks of it no one is having luck with replacements. I drive a lot for work and now I’m going to be forced to pay another 4 grand for another garbage CVT, or I’m going to buy another car.

Nissan Sentra looks good but shakes, rattles and rumbles, uncomfortable to sit in, mediocre mileage and poor trade-in value. Also did not like the dealership. Not a good buy and would not buy again.

The Nissan Sentra is a city car and had it for 3-years. Mileage is good and it rides like a city car but has been good on the open road. Other than the standard maintenance routine, the only other costs have been wipers. Battery was low after the first 34-months and it was replace as a warranty claim with no charges to the owner.

Nissan Sentra is a black beauty. The car is dependable and gets good gas mileage. But, you have to make a certain amount before anyone will try to help you. And all I was wanting to do is get a lower payment.

Recently I had a transmission replaced from my 2014 Nissan Sentra because dealership said the transmission was bad and needs replacement. The transmission was slipping, jerks, and hesitate when accelerating and very difficult to drive. I need to step on the gas pedal and floor it to accelerate. Then dealership replaced it with a reconditioned transmission that is worse than the one I have. I asked them why do I get a refurbished transmission and my car is still under warranty by Nissan and they said that is how Nissan replace transmission with only rebuild or refurbished one. I think that if the brand new transmission failed with me with only 24,000 miles how much more the transmission rebuild is going to last?

Transmission gave out at 66,000 miles After I complained at 59K - My brother WARNED me about buying a Sentra after he had TWO transmissions replaced. We purchased the 2013 used and the sales rep PROMISED the improvements between the 2013 and 2011 that my brother had was significant. The Transmission was acting funny at 59K and the dealership found NO ERROR codes. That being said, since we drive it since then it got WORSE and WORSE. What is MOST upsetting is the NISSAN USA rep called me stating that the dealership did NOT recommend a new transmission when we complained at 59K when we bought the car in December of 2017. Now it's April 2018, a couple months later and the transmission is getting worse and worse. Now they recommend a transmission. I feel they did this on purpose.

We have bought New 2015 Nissan Sentra SV. It's April 2018 now and in 3 years of time total miles 55641, I have to replace transmission (Auto-transmission failed). Transmission failure happened while driving on state route, luckily I didn't encounter any accident. Then I called AAA to tow my car to Nissan dealer. After fixing, my family is hesitating to use this car. Beauty is, I have serviced my car at authorized Nissan dealer (mileage: 55,352) and my auto-transmission dead in couple of days (mileage: 55,641). I have opted for Nissan buyback, and they review and declined. I am not sure what to do with this car.

I've been a Nissan customer for almost a decade now. It hurts my heart to be brushed off so glibly when I've spoken so highly of this brand for years. I have (had) a 2013 Nissan Sentra with the dreaded CVT transmission. We've owned the car for a few years now and haven't had a problem until now. Also worth noting is we kept up on maintenance, oil changes, coolant changes, trans fluid flush, etc.

I purchased a 2015 Nissan Sentra SV less than 3 months ago. When exiting the freeway, I pushed down on my gas pedal after stopping at a red light, and my car revved but wouldn't move. Someone ran over to help me push the car up a hill to a gas station where I called AAA to have it towed to Hayward Nissan where it was diagnosed with code P285A-bad clutch, needs a new transmission. The cost is about $4450 for a rebuilt. I haven't even made my second car payment, and I'm at risk of losing my job because I drive for a living! I called Nissan Consumer Affairs who first said they would replace my CVT if it wasn't something I did to cause damage.

My daughter has a 2013 Nissan Sentra that is a death trap! The transmission is really messing up. And at a charge of $4,000 dollars to replace is absolutely absurd. I drove it yesterday and had to think fast by putting my emergency flashers on to keep someone from hitting me. It's dangerous to drive and the interstate is out of the question! I hope that this is resolved before anyone gets hurt or killed! If my family is injured in this car because of a faulty transmission, I want this to be public record for evidence of the problem we're having because of this car! My name is Sue **, mother of Felicia **! She is paying for it as a used car from Orr Nissan in Shreveport, La.

Purchased a 2013 Nissan Sentra brand new off of the lot and changed oil every 5-7,000 miles with synthetic oil only as recommended. I had just over 100,000 miles on my car after the transmission went out on the car. This happened one month after my last payment. Only had this car for 5 years and thought that it was a great car until the transmission abruptly failed with no warning leaving me stranded. Will cost $4,000 at the dealership to replace. I was really hoping to keep this car for 10 years.

2013 Nissan Sentra SV, CVT revs high with loss of power - Car has 78,000 miles on it now and 2 weeks ago I noticed RPMs were higher than usual when starting off in cold weather & it wasn't shifting into the lower gear until I had gone several miles. Gas mileage has also dropped. I've had several Nissans in the past and loved them. Expected to get 300k out of this one, but after reading all the other people's problems which are just like mine I'm going to dump this ** and buy a Honda or Toyota. I just hope it lasts long enough for me to do so.

Transmission replacement 65,000 miles. Already replacing transmission to a fairly newer vehicle. I’ve had it for approximately 2 years, I’m still paying on it and the money I’ve put into fixing it could’ve have gone to paying my loan down. I’m disappointed in Nissan and will never buy another Nissan for as long as I live. I don’t care how nice of cars you think they are, save yourself and run!

I purchased a 2014 Nissan Sentra SR in Dec of 2014. It had 16 miles on it. It was maintained on a regular schedule for oil changes etc. On a trip from North GA to Key West, Fla it lost all acceleration on the interstate causing me to get it to the side of the road. I managed to drive it to the next exit where the car stopped out in the middle of the road. A man driving by was kind enough to help me push it out of the middle of the highway. Dangerous situation. I did manage to arrive in the Keys only to find out the maintenance dept at Nissan had been damaged by Hurricane Irma and wouldn't reopen for 3 more weeks.

Bought this car (2013 Nissan Sentra) brand new off of the lot and changed oil every 5-7,000 miles with synthetic oil only, and did all of the regular maintenance. I had 135,000 miles on my car after the transmission went out on the car. Only had this car for 5 years and thought that it was a wonderful car until the CVT went and cost is over $3,000 at the dealership to replace. I was really hoping to keep this car for 8-10 years but they are not made to go the extra mile it seems. Very disappointing... I would not recommend buying one because when the CVT goes, it just stops working no matter where you are and there are no warning signs. There was some chugging in the morning on the way to work and on the way home. It died.

We have a Nissan Sentra 2013 with less than 95k miles that was maintained regularly. Its transmission broke today and will cost $4-5k to repair. We spent $2k two months ago on the engine. This car has been a nightmare and of course Nissan won't cover it under its warranty. Very disappointed and willing to file a lawsuit against Nissan. This cheap brand is putting lives at risk with their crappy products at this point.

I was reading all the reviews with similar complaints to mine. I purchased a Nissan Sentra 2013 for my daughter, I wanted her to be in a safe car when she went away for college. What a mistake this purchase has turned out to be!! First the car completely stalled on the highway when it was less than 3 years old. She was very fortunate she wasn't injured but she was definitely traumatized by the experience. Recently at 70k miles she was having issues with the car accelerating and stalling as well as the RPMs. She was told she needed a new transmission. Nissan agreed to pay for 50% of the repairs with the stipulation the car had to be repaired at one of their dealerships. That was a $1900 cost for me, still quite expensive.

I bought a 2014 Nissan Sentra 2 years ago. I hear weird sounds, and since I had a "lifetime warranty" I took it to the shop. $250 later I have transmission failure that my warranty refused to fix, because one time I did not "flush my brake lines as indicated in the owners manual". How does that affect a transmission and cause it to wear out at 72,000 miles?!?! No car should need a BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION under 100,000. Nissan is selling a CRAP QUALITY CAR. I even contacted the Nissan Company and they refused to cover it. What an awful company. For clarity I did get my oil and filter changed every 5,000 miles. I am getting it repaired and selling it immediately to get a Honda. Don't waste your money. Do not give your money to Nissan. It is a ** company just doesn't sell quality products and backs out of guaranteeing their quality.

Purchased my 2013 Nissan Sentra with 38k miles. 2 years (to the day) & another 34k miles later I started up my car and it would not drive faster than 20 MPH. Luckily I was in a safe spot. Wasn't until after this happened that I did my research and found out I'm not the only one this has happened to. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones making it to 72K. Called Nissan and since I am out of warranty- they're only willing to pay for half the repair. Guess something is better than nothing.

Car struggled and RPMs, kept going up and down until the gear would change with a click. When starting to drive the car takes long to accelerate. Took car to Nissan for a diagnostic testing and was told that CVT transmission needs to be replaced. Service adviser stated that there have been issues with this model regarding transmission. Car is only 3 years old. When looking at Business Bureau there are other people with the same car having the same issues.

Purchased new off the lot 2015 Nissan Sentra. 2 1/2 years later needs new transmission for 4k! Extremely disappointed due to I'm still paying for this car! Thought Nissan was a reputable vehicle company. I WAS VERY WRONG!!! Service said they could do nothing about it because my mileage being at 63k was not within warranty! I have had other car shops tell me the CVT on these cars are no good! While Nissan is absolutely still doing nothing about it!

We purchased this car for my daughter who is a college student, because we thought Nissan was a reputable company with reliable vehicles. Boy, were we wrong. At 79k miles, the 2013 Nissan Sentra transmission went out in rush hour traffic, almost causing an accident. Brought it to our mechanic who diagnosed a faulty/bad transmission and said he is seeing a lot of Nissan transmission failures - so many that he told us that the Nissan dealership keeps replacement transmissions in stock which, according to our mechanic, is highly unusual.

I've had my 2014 Nissan Sentra for almost one year. Recently started having transmission problems. Before purchasing I wasn't not aware of this problem with Nissan's transmissions. It's out of warranty, sent an email to Nissan corporate with no response. Struggling mother of two and having major car problems. I am at a loss. Car stammers studders just CRAP. Still paying on this junk car as well. For the amount of complaints there should be a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT for Nissan!!!!

Will never buy another Nissan. I bought a 2015 Nissan Sentra brand new off the lot in April 2015. Two years later, I first had acceleration issues (when I took off from a light or stop sign, the response was really slow and I had hesitation during acceleration). This problem was random and occurred only three times in a 6 month period, so I assumed it was bad gas as the engine light did not come on. Two weeks ago the problem came back when I was driving home from work, and by the time I got home it would no longer accelerate at all, and the engine light finally came on after this happened.

I got a 2015 Nissan Sentra S in November 2016 with 40k miles on it. Within 2 weeks it needed a new transmission. It was covered under warranty. Fine. 1 year later, it needed yet another transmission. This time I took it to AAMCO and paid over $3,000. Not even 3 months later, guess what? It needs a new transmission again! Every auto repair place I talk to tells me the CVT is junk. Why has this not been corrected??? I used to think Nissan made a good product, right up there with Toyota. Wow I was wrong! Now what?

Initially my post was made prior to hearing from Nissan. It was to share my experience with the car. But since i am happy. ☺

Just like the reviews from other 2013 Nissan Sentra owners, my Sentra has 71000 miles and the transmission has begun having issues. There is sputtering when the drive begins and the engine is cold. The car feels like it is dragging. Very disappointed. Will not buy another Nissan.

If I could give this car 0 stars, I would! I'll never again in life buy or recommend Nissan to anyone. I loved this 2014 Nissan Sentra at first but looks like as soon as I hit over 100,000 miles everything just fell apart. The infamous CVT went out at 109,000 miles and Nissan paid 70%, which I accepted because I did not feel like fighting with them. That 30% still hurt me financially as I'm a college student. I get my car back and there's a rattling noise. I thought that was strange after having a CVT replacement.

I have a 2013 Nissan Sentra and I have been having minor problems with the transmission. I took it to Nissan dealership back in July 2017 let them know. They wanted to charge me 150.00 just to look at it. It is now November 2017. My car gave out on me while driving with my 10 yr old son. My car has warranty until 60,000 and it currently has 59,000 so I made it just in time but reading these reviews I'm sure this isn't problem isn't over for me. I will never purchase a Nissan again.

Purchased a 2015 Nissan Sentra for my daughter to use for college and work. Thought Nissan was a reputable company, similar to my experiences with Toyota and Honda/Acura, but I was OHHH SO WRONG. The transmission on my daughter's Nissan Sentra has been stuttering/slamming since 90k, outside the warranty timeframe. Had it checked by Nissan dealership, confirmed transmission needs replacement, contacted corporate, and after investigation, they said that NO help could be offered due to mileage warranty expiration. Don't have these problems with Toyota, should have stayed with Toyota, my '04 Corolla has 204000 miles and still running, sooner or later a repair will be required but says a lot about quality.

I purchase this car brand new 2016 edition. After the first month I started noticing a weird sound when going over 60 mph. At the beginning I thought it was the wind. I did not pay attention to it, and now just have over a year now with the car and I started noticing how the acceleration pulls back when going from the 2nd shift to 3rd shift. Now the manufacturer warranty has expired. I'm on my own... Don't buy this car overall. It is the second Nissan with transmission issues that I have over the last 8 years, last one was the Nissan Rogue '08. I believe I have learned the lesson... Nissan sucks.

CVT WILL fail, don't expect more than 100k, new CVT costs $4-5k. One of the worst designed CVTs ever made. If you have your Nissan with CVT for more than 60k, get rid of it immediately. It will not likely make it past 100k miles. Nissan is well aware of the problem and will not do anything. 13%+ (4x the national average) will fail within 3 years. Hopefully there is another class action threat so they address this issue like they had to for their earlier CVTs. They promised a better design but from 2013 onward there is no significant difference in failure rates.

I have a 2014 Nissan Sentra SR. I've done scheduled services on my CVT transmission every 30,000 miles. I've had this vehicle for 2 years and bought it with 5,900 miles. At approximately 157,000 miles the CVT has failed. I realize that's substantial miles, however I still owe on this vehicle and was hoping that it would last much longer than this considering I've done the transmission service as recommended. That CVT is crap in this car and this will be the last Nissan I buy. Filed a formal complaint with Nissan USA but got no assistance at all.

This car is dangerous, I have two kids and the car is jerking in busy traffic. I said something about the way the car shift gears when I purchased it a year ago. The dealership blamed it on the type of engine in the Nissans. I'm trying to get out of this car asap.

Bought my little 2013 Nissan Sentra in April 2016 with 37,000 miles and 1 month later the transmission left me stranded on the side of the road. Transmission was replaced at that time. Now @ 69K miles yet another transmission which of course was "out of warranty" and was not covered by Nissan. I was told by the service adviser @ Town Center Nissan to not push corporate to cover the total cost. So, I have a car that I don't trust, is on the 3rd transmission, and I am out a lot of money! This seems to be a definite problem for Nissan. Just want Nissan to step up and make things right! I am a single mom that works hard for what I have and am very discouraged by how Nissan is not taking ownership of their KNOWN problems. When you research 2013 Nissan Sentra the bulletins are endless! I had heard for years that Nissans are wonderful and would go for hundreds of thousands of miles with no trouble. NOT THE CASE with this car.

I am the first owner of my 2013 Nissan Sentra. I have had some issues with the car and do not feel safe driving the car. Unfortunately, I still have about 1 1/2years before it is paid off. I cannot place the rest of my loan on top of a new loan. After I bought my car, I noticed the carpet was not sealed correctly around the doors and when I took the car in to be cleaned and detailed, I was told there was a spot on the back door that seemed to be dented and repainted. I didn't not know about these issues when I bought the car. When asking the dealer about it, it was too late because I already bought the car and they didn't care. In June of this year I started having rapidly increasing and decreasing RPMS and the car would not accelerate like normal. I was advised to take the car in for a transmission fluid change. I was never told that I was supposed to take it to the dealer for the work.

I got 2013 Nissan Sentra only 70k miles. Now Transmission need to replace. I’m still paying for it. I bought it brand new. This car need to be recall. My first car is 1993 Nissan Sentra 280000 I never replace the transmission. Now it’s all about money. Not Safety. Nissan doesn’t care if you die on the road.

I bought my 2015 Nissan Sentra SV in December 2016. It's now September 2017 and my transmission has to be replaced, my car only has 62,000 miles on it! This is an ongoing problem from Nissan and they aren't doing anything to fix the problem, now I have to fork out $3,300 to have a new transmission put in! Nissan is a serious joke! They need to fix their mistakes before someone gets killed in one of these cars they keep swearing are safe!

I bought a 2013 Nissan Sentra in 2015. Transmission start going out and they want 3,600 for a used transmission. This is the worst car ever. Will NEVER buy another Nissan again. They use to be good cars but now they are a piece of **. They really need to do a recall on them, poorly made!! I give them one star, and that is too high.

2015 Nissan Sentra - 65k miles and transmission failure! Was driving last night (9/16/17) and heard a funny noise when the car shifted up in gear then pressed the gas and nothing. Car would not accelerate. Stopped on side of the road and attempted to pull forward, the transmission engaged but shifted so hard I was afraid the transmission might fall out of the car. I'm so frustrated! I'm still paying on this stupid car! I need to contact a lemon lawyer.

We purchased a brand new 2016 Nissan Sentra for our daughter in August 2016. A year later, at 6200 miles, the transmission is starting to have problems. When trying to accelerate on the freeway, when you push on the gas, the RPMs will rev but there is a noticeable delay in acceleration/power. Also happens when you want to change lanes and need a quick burst of power. Brought car into Stadium Nissan where it was originally purchased. They could not find any error codes and thus "Couldn't duplicate the problem."

As I'm reading the reviews I see that this is an ongoing problem with Nissan Sentra. I have a 2014 model which I purchased brand new in the year of 2015. I have only all this, years and a half and I have maintained all scheduled appointments and services. First of all that's parents right. After my car receipt over 36,000 mile tire sensor went out. The repair for that will be over $370 which I could not afford. I have noticed that the car rattles in the back. I hear noises all the time. I just had to put all brand new tires right up. I got 60,000 miles on the car. I have maintained having frequent oil changes every 3000 miles with synthetic oil which is costing me right at $68 per oil change.

I recently purchased a 2015 Nissan Sentra with 40,000 miles on it. I needed a safe reliable car as I am young and just starting my career. It now has 66,000 miles and is having major problems with accelerating and shifting gears. The RPMs will be revving really high while the speed will be 40 mph. This randomly will happen on the freeway and is very scary. Going up a hill is nearly impossible. I took it to the shop and they told me that I needed a new transmission. He also said that this type of transmission has a lot of problems. I really thought Nissan would be a good car but this is the most car trouble I have ever had. If you are looking for a reliable and affordable car I would stay away from this one.

In May 2017 I purchased a 2014 Nissan Sentra from a dealer... Aug. 2017 I started having problems with the car on my way to work like most of the issues I see on here with the same car. I would press on the gas, it wouldn't gain speed. It would only revved up and jerk and stall as if I had it in neutral. My RPM would be racing up and down and no acceleration... After about 3 weeks the dealership finally pick the car up literally 1 day before my 3 month warranty went out... Now I'm been told it's the transmission and even though my warranty is out they will still pay 50% for parts and labor but I got to pay 1500... Not only have I lost my job 'cause I work 50 miles from my job and had no way of getting there the past 3 weeks but I'm a single mom of 4 and don't have the funds to pay for this... SMH advice on what legal action can I take.

I purchased a brand new 2013 Nissan Sentra in February, 2014, a month ago I noticed shifting problems with CVT transmission, car has 72,000 miles on it, I found that they extended the warranty to 10 years / 120,000 miles on previous models but ended in 2010, I guess they should extended on newer models, as I see transmissions problems continue.

I purchased a 2013 Nissan Sentra for my 17 year old daughter last August. It had around 60k miles on it but I wasn't too worried because I mistakenly thought Nissan was a reliable car company that built quality vehicles. We have had nothing but trouble with that car and are now replacing the transmission as it has suddenly stopped working. I am very upset as the car only has 80k miles! I am paying around $2400.00 dollars for the repair because we are getting a used transmission. This has left my daughter without a car for over a week and it is not expected to be done until the end of next week. From now on I will stick with Honda and Toyota as I have owned both and never had any problems!!

I did my research prior to purchasing my 2013 Nissan Sentra and knew that the CVT is poorly built and previous owners experienced many transmission issues. Therefore, I purchased a manual transmission with 3,200 miles on it. Four years and 46,000 miles later I have had zero issues. Great reliable little car with big MPG.

I need advice. So I bought my 2013 Nissan Sentra in April 2016 from Bill Rapp in Syracuse. I just started having problems with the transmission so it's been out to them 2 different times. They said they couldn't find anything wrong with it cause no codes were coming up. So next step was for them to service the transmission at my expense of course. The cost is outrageous. $420 for them to do that to see if there was any metal shavings. So they called me today and said yes there was metal shavings on the magnet in the tranny pan and I need a new transmission. But the reason the transmission went bad was because I put the wrong kind of transmission fluid in it.

I went from a 1996 Oldsmobile Bravada to a tw to a 2013 Nissan Sentra. I've only had the car one year. I got it in June 2016 with only 17,000 miles. I have had nothing but problem. First the brakes. I take it back to the dealer. They say they fix it. Two days later I still hear a knocking noise a loud banging noise when I put on the brakes. Now the car does not want to shift out of park. Once I put it into park it stays in park. It is not fair that I am paying each month a car payment that I can't even drive. The reason I got this car was because I was having so many problems with the 1996 Oldsmobile Bravada and the point being was I did not want to have car trouble again.

I purchased my 2013 Sentra in 2016 with 100k miles on it. I wasn't too worried about the high mileage because Nissans are reliable cars... (So I thought). My transmission just went out when I was on the highway. Luckily nobody was behind me or I would have gotten hit. I was scared to death when it happened. I called Nissan to get a quote on a new one since I'm no longer under the warranty, and they are $2,500 just for the transmission, then probably another thousand or so for labor. Lucky for me I work at a Ford dealership and they gave me a deal on labor, otherwise I would have been even more screwed over. After reading all of these reviews I'm shocked mine lasted this long. I'm definitely selling it before the warranty is up on the new transmission.

I purchased a 2015 Nissan Sentra. 2 weeks into owning the car my back tire split from the inside. They refused to help me. I had to spend 175.00 on 1 tire. At 32000 my transmission went out, had to have a brand new one put in. Car continued to have transmission issues. In fear my warranty was running out I took it back. Traded for a manual. Lost my ** in deal. Now at 36000 miles my newest Sentra’s AC compressor is bad. What a ** joke Nissans are pieces of ** and we all should be compensated for having to pay for their lemon cars. Such a shame Nissan. You should be embarrassed. Trust me I put your vehicles down to everyone I encounter.

Adding to what appears to be a very long list of Nissan owners with similar issues: My 2013 Nissan Sentra's transmission gave out at 65,0000 miles. In 2014, just one year into ownership of the car, the vehicle began revving very high with little power to move. The dealership said it was a "known" problem, and (supposedly) fixed it under warranty. Now, three years later and with only 65k miles on the car, the transmission seems to have crapped out again. While backing out of a parking spot at the grocery store, the vehicle began to "hesitate" when I pressed the gas. When I shifted into drive, the vehicle began to make a sound like a bunch of tin cans full of rocks were tied to the under carriage. Luckily, the grocery store was just across the street from home, and I was able to limp my car home at a snail's pace. I suppose I should count myself lucky, as it seems many people were unfortunate to have this happen driving down the highway.

I own a 2014 Nissan Sentra I bought brand new. About 2 weeks ago I started noticing noises in the front when I was driving like clunking and I told my husband. He put the car up on jacks and checked under the car and nothing. He was gonna take it in to our dealer and have them take a look. Well Saturday I was coming home from work and it started sputtering and clunking again. Well I stopped at a red light and it lunged forward. While I had my foot on the brake I pulled into a parking lot and called my husband. I was scared to death. I looked online Sunday and found the articles on your site about this problem so I showed my husband. Well this morning we took the car to the dealer and they confirmed it is the transmission and are giving me a loaner and replacing the transmission. Thanks. I knew I wasn't crazy. Keep up the good work. By the way my Sentra only has 25,000 miles on it.

I purchased my Nissan brand new in 2013 in 2014. The transmission went out which was replaced under warranty. In April 2017 while driving home, the car started losing power and totally stalled out on me. Fortunately I was in slow lane which was a life saver because had I been in outside lane would have been hit from behind. Luckily for me I'm purchased an extended warranty. Well here we are 3 months later and the same thing occurred, foot on gas pedal but car wasn't moving. I believe it's the cvt that's causing the problem with this car. Nissan won't do a recall until lives have been lost which is unfortunate. Still under warranty but I'm afraid to continue driving this car. Another I noticed is the service light doesn't come on until after the fact. If anyone knows of a class action suit please let me know. This situation is very dangerous and must be addressed by Nissan USA.

2013 Nissan Sentra transmission failed at 74,000 miles without any warning while we were traveling on a busy highway on the way home from a long road trip. While driving at an speed of approximately 70-75 mph in TN on the highway the vehicle began decelerate and the RPM's just kept revving up. It was just me (a female) and my two year old daughter in the vehicle. I attempted to the emergency shoulder with my hazards on trying to avoid being hit by a transfer truck and several vehicles. I shut the car off to see what was going on and was afraid of what just occurred. I started the engine back and it began driving fine for about 10 mins on the highway and then it decelerated again near the Atlanta area and totally lost driving power. I was 3 hours from home and had to call for help. I immediately called the dealership the next morning and advised them of the issue and engine codes received from an auto store.

At 65K miles I started experiencing racing RPMs while driving on 07/04/2017 without matching acceleration. Pressing the accelerator in DRIVE gets no response from the accelerator, especially on an incline, making this vehicle too dangerous to drive. Fortunately I reached my destination safely but had my pastor and family follow me to the automotive repair shop. I dropped the Sentra off the same day. This independent service center found a diagnosis code for a transmission module, however the transmission may need to be replaced. I will be contacting Nissan corporate and following up with appropriate action. Nissan cannot ignore this dangerous problem from this many reported incidents. I wish I could have had someone with me 07/04/2017 to have made a video for documentation when this happened but I didn't have a passenger. I am wishing for a good response but after reading these reviews am not hopeful.

My Nissan Sentra has the same transmission problems. RPMs rev up and speed slows down. All service techs tell me I was lucky to make it to 100,000 miles. I will never buy a Nissan or recommend a Nissan.

It's the worst car I've ever had... I never reviewed any car in my life but this 2014 Nissan Sentra it only had 30k miles when I bought it. Less than 3000 miles later the transmission stopped shifting and I took it to the dealer and all I got was the runaround. Never going to Nissan dealer again.

I bought a 2014 Nissan Sentra two yrs ago. I've been pleased with it until yesterday. I was driving to work and without a warning the car started to shake and sputter. As I was going up a hill boom the transmission went. I couldn't move the car even in neutral. I didn't even have a warning light come on. As I read a lot of others issues there has to be a recall on this. This could be deadly. Someone needs to fix the problem. We live paycheck by paycheck and can't afford the repairs. Help.

Bought 2015 Nissan Sentra S model June, 2015. 84,000 miles later the transmission died with no signs of diminishing performance. Dealership tried to blame me for not using their dealership for recommended maintenance. I'll be taking this up with Nissan Corporate. ***DO NOT EVER PURCHASE A CAR THAT HAS A CVT TRANSMISSION. THEY ARE ABSOLUTE GARBAGE***

I bought a brand new 2015 Nissan Sentra SV in July of 2015. I did this because I wanted a reliable car that would last to 200k miles. Since about 10k miles the RPMs race up and drop down and no acceleration when I'm driving 60-70mph. I called the service dept of the dealership and took it into them. They ran diagnostic tests and found nothing. They sent me away. I was on the highway the other day and almost got into an accident because I was in the fast lane and doing 70 and suddenly the car would not accelerate, the RPM's went all the way up to 5000 and it just revved. I ended up slowing down to 45 and when I hit the gas pedal it just revved. I took the car back to Nissan and again they can't duplicate it or pick anything up with diagnostics. I'm very worried I will get into a bad accident.

I purchased new 2014 Nissan Sentra in June 2014. April of 2016, the engine froze up. I could not produce 10 oil change receipts as the car had almost 50,000 miles on it. Without receipts Nissan would not warranty engine. It was replaced at my own expense. April 2017, car started have sluggish starts and then all of a sudden surge. Of course, the transmission needs to be replaced. I am still paying car payment and loan for engine repair. Now I have got to replace the transmission. Please do not buy a Nissan. I promise you will regret it. They do not stand behind their products.

2013 Nissan Sentra transmission - I have been reading all the complaints about the Nissan Sentras, I am in the same situation at the moment, my extended coverage has expired since I have 78,000, how come there has not been a recall for this car since it's such a big problem? What are some of you are doing to solve this problem?? Please, I need your advice!!! :(

Just 3 weekends ago on Friday 05/19/17 my 2015 Sentra had trouble driving to work on the freeway. It had now what I know to be transmission problems. I couldn't accelerate well in the beginning, the car would only go 40mph while traffic was going 60-70mph. I would press on the gas, it just wouldn't gain speed. My car revved up and jerked like a stick shift. It finally gained a little speed after a minute enough to when I pressed on the gas it went about 60-65. But mid drive, I had to get over in the shoulder a few times as my car would slow down between 40-45mph and it would jerk while stalling similar to driving in Neutral and kept revving up. A few times not pressing on the gas or brake, as my car coasted it revved and jolted. I felt a heavy pull thrusting forward as if I was on a Disneyland ride. That is how I gained speed to press on the gas and accelerate it very little that it would let me.

My daughter bought a brand new 2014 Nissan Sentra SR in July of 2014. We did this because we wanted a reliable car that would last to 200k miles. In December of 2014 and 8,000 miles the car was no longer driveable, RPMs racing up and dropping down and no acceleration. She called the service dept of the dealership the car was purchased from and they told her "it's because they don't like cold weather". Then why are they sold all over New England? We live near Hartford, CT. She went to a different Nissan dealer and the service manager told her that he just got out of a CVT training class and the issues she was describing were normal for CVT and she just didn't know how to drive it - they did not take it on a road test or put it in for diagnostics and turned her away.

We brought a new Sentra 2013 about 4 years ago. We have already replaced a transmission 2 years ago, and now we have to replace again. Thank goodness we have a warranty on this vehicle. After reading the reviews and complaints about the transmission failing... Nothing is being done about it! There should be a recall... Or customer who comes in with this problem, shouldn't have to pay for another transmission, and car rental! We will never buy another Nissan vehicle!

I have had this car for 18 month, and put 40,000 miles (75,000 total; 1 prev owner) on it, and now the transmission is acting irregular, and slipping. I contacted Nissan North America to file a complaint for resolution, and I'm still waiting to hear back. The car cost $13K at purchase. To repair the transmission it will be another $4.5K... if they don't address the CVT transmission issue, they should stop making. Nissan is awful. Without a free replacement I will NEVER buy a Nissan again. I wish I kept my Mazda.

Car is 2013 model and rusting on the roof and around sunroof - we've never used the sunroof. Dealer wants to charge us $570 to take off the headliner to diagnose the issue. Nissan consumer affairs called to tell me I have to pay it in order for them to proceed to tell me if they will assist with repairs. We live in California and rarely get rain. Very frustrated and still have to make monthly payments for a piece of junk. Since day one this Sentra has been. Itching but problems.

I purchased a 2013 Sentra for my son last year with only 60k miles on it. Within a month, he started noticing that the car lost power on the freeway. Even with his foot pressed all the way on the pedal, the car would only go 25 mph max. It has been giving him problems ever since. Yesterday, the CVT transmission totally went out. The dealership stated the cost of a new transmission is not covered under warranty, nor is there a recall. I've read so many reviews here and everyone is having the same problem. Why hasn't Nissan recalled this CVT transmission? The dealership wants $4500 to replace the tranny. We don't have that kind of money. So I guess we're out. I will NEVER buy another Nissan again!

I just bought a 2015 Nissan Sentra with 17,000 miles on it, like 13 days ago, and I'm very upset to report that I'm already having transmission issues. This is completely unacceptable!! This is my only car. I owe $16,000 on this brand new car. Nissan MUST do a recall and fix this. NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS about it. That's not fair to me at all!!! I refuse to pay to get this fixed. I just paid $16,000 to get it. NISSAN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES!!! Fix this issue immediately!!! Not to mention, the check tire gauge keeps coming on, but tires are fine. What kind of product is Nissan putting out here?? Class action lawsuit will be coming their way. I'm calling my attorney immediately.

Took daughter's new car (2015 Nissan Sentra) for service due to RPM's jumping and losing power. Service said nothing is wrong. But there are hundreds of complaints on this issue online how do they not know. This car is a lemon and still under warranty. Looking for a class action attorney to go after Nissan.

I am FURIOUS with Nissan. I have been reading all of the reviews and it seems to be the norm that if you have a 2013 or 14 Sentra your transmission will fail. It is sickening to read all of these accounts and Nissan has done NOTHING. I drive a lot with my girls playing travel softball, so me and my wife wanted to get a reliable car, so we thought Nissan. 3 years later, transmission gone, no warning.

I purchased a brand new 2015 Nissan Sentra in November 2015. It had 25 miles on it. Recently the RPMs began to jump when driving uphill between 60 and 70 mph and on a couple occasions they would jump while driving down a hill. While that is happening the car jerks almost like the transmission is slipping.

So, I bought this car less than 3 yrs ago, traded in a sucky Versa. Loved this car, the gas mileage number 1, no pickup or great looks, just a fuel efficient basic car. I'm way upside down in it. 52,121 miles, 52102 of them my miles - the transmission shot. Nissan replaced it, 8000 miles left on warranty. The car shifts major hard now, it definitely not a smooth shifter... I'm not going to plop down a grand or more for an extended warranty at this point, simply because I really can't afford it. So now it's just playing Russian Roulette on the time it fails again and or other issues arise. I planned to ride this car off into the sunset, the last new vehicle purchased -- which it will still be -- but probably not serviceable for me to drive in my retirement years (7 or 8 years from now).

I purchased my 2015 Nissan Sentra on October of 2015 with 11 miles. I took car for 1st complaint with car jerking and accelerating when coming to a complete stop and you can see the rpm going up as it happens. The guy in the front desk at service told me to wait until I do my 1st oil change and get used to my car, so I left the dealership tell myself, he is right. 3 months later, at 4500 miles, took it in for the same problem, after 6 more time for the same problem but this time, car feels like is being force to go, rpm will go up like I'm stepping on the gas but car is moving slow, hearing a knock noise when impressed on the breaks, I went on a drive with a mechanic, the only thing he felt was the acceleration when coming to a stop, he said that is normal and the car feeling like is feeling force is normal too, how can a car feel normal when it only does it once in a while...

I purchased a 2013 Sentra with 18k miles from the dealer. Just shy of the warranty expiration the transmission failed and was replaced under the warranty. It's now 9 months later and again just shy of the warranty on the new transmission and again it has failed. The car went to the dealer today. I must say the dealership has been extremely caring and helpful. I'm concerned with a failed transmission twice in such a short amount of time. After reading all the complaints and comments on the Sentra's I feel somewhat relieved as I thought it was just a bad car. Now I know otherwise. I'll get this repaired, under the warranty and look into trading it for something else. This is my third Sentra and I had a transmission fail on one of them but that was after 5 years and 20 years ago and got rid of the car. Overall I loved the car and had no other issues. I hope this review, as the others, helps someone else out.

As I drive over 60 mpg I would hit cruise control and I would feel the intermittent vibration and the little constant pulling at a certain speed. And when I just take off my car would jerk. I noticed when it's only 20 degrees outside. My transmission would hardly upshift as it only was stuck on the 1st gear.

2013 Nissan Sentra with 111000 miles had sudden and unsuspected catastrophic transmission failure on a major highway which created a dangerous situation. Transmission was not covered as Nissan stated, "The miles were above warranty." The history of failed CVT was ignored, and a Nissan representative said, "All CVT issues were addressed and are a reliable product." Will never buy another Nissan and urge all consumers to avoid Nissan.

Bought this car with 38,000 miles, at 47,000 lost power due to transmission overheats. Nissan refused to fix, at 66,000 lost power again. I know the cvt tranny was bad because I connected a scanner. Returned the car to them, paying repairs defeats the purpose to be on car payments. Nissan sold the car way too cheap and now wants me to pay the balance. I was afraid to take long drives on this car. I just bought a '97 Acura TL with 180,000 miles. It performs waaayyyy better, super reliable.

My husband purchased a 2014 Nissan Sentra in March 2014. Now the transmission is gone. Car just under three years old and unless we spend over $3,00.00 to get it fixed we have to finish paying for a car that nobody can use. We purchased. It's hard to find companies that will not try to stick you for something.

So upset. My boyfriend bought a new 2015 Nissan Sentra in 2014. He drives a lot for work and we thought this would be a great car. Until we started hearing noise and the car started to jerk a lot. We bought the car in San Diego, CA and move to Austin, TX. We towed it behind the moving van. We had decided to take it to the dealer in Round Rock. They told us the transmission had to be replaced. It would cost $4500. What the hell!!! It was over warranty by 10,000 miles. Seriously! We don't have that kind of money. And reading about the issues that Nissan has had with the CVT, you would expect them to replace it for free. I also read that Nissan had extended the warranty on 2012 or older models. Why not all years? Oh that's right, apparently they fixed the problem. Well they didn't. If we can't get them to cover this repair, we are going to walk away from the car and give it back. We really don't care!

I purchased a brand new Nissan Sentra 4 miles off the lot. I purchased the extra reparations plan. The automatic transmission showed problems right away with shifting. The dealership kept telling me the transmission was fine. That same transmission problem Albuquerque, NM lied about has completely broken and a 3014 Nissan Sentra left me walking with my 7 disabled son. I will never buy Nissan brand again. I can't believe they have their mechanics lie for them. Nissan if you care about your reputation at all I digest a recall because I am going the media.

I bought my 2014 Nissan Sentra in December 2015. My car started jerking and wouldn't pull the RPM are high. I didn't have any warning signs or no lights came on. Yes, I also owe a lot of money on this car just like a lot of others that are also having this issue. A class action lawsuit against Nissan is what is needed here for all of us. I use this car for work. So now what am I going to do?... THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION LIKE yesterday.

My transmission needs to be replaced at 63,000 miles, just 3,000 miles out of warranty. Nissan offered to cover half but this forces me to keep driving a car that I don't feel safe in. I've already spent $12k+ in the three years I've had the car and the new transmission adds $2k. I still owe $11k, and the trade-in value is only $6k because everyone knows about the transmission issues. That means when I get it fixed (which seems to be my only option) I will have paid $16,000 on a car that will leave me in an addition $4,000 in debt just to get rid of it. $20,000 just to drive a Nissan Sentra for three years. This whole situation seems horribly unfair and unsafe. I used to be a hardcore advocate of Nissans. Now I want to tell everyone I meet to avoid them at all costs.

2016 Nissan Sentra - I bought my car new in Aug 2016 and since my purchase it makes noises all the time. I've recorded 1 particular noise and the dealership service team can't detect why it's making that noise. I've turned off the warning alerts and that doesn't seem to be it. If I drive 70 mi an hour or higher it makes that noise. I drove out of town and it made them noise the whole time! No matter the time of day or weather it makes an unusual beeping or humming noise. The noise sounds like it's coming from the front of the car, the sides across the top. I do not know what else to do. I can't stand hearing this noise especially on a new car!

I bought brand new Nissan Sentra 2014 from a dealer. I drove hardly 20k miles in 3 years and now I am facing problem with engine transmission. It's just giving 18 miles an hr. It's totally horrible and when I called nearby dealer, they didn't respond and asked me to schedule regular maintenance service appointment which is available only after 1 month. I guess, I should have bought Toyota or Honda instead of Nissan car. This is the worst car.

My husband drives over 100 miles per day for work, so when purchasing a car for him 3 years ago, we went with what we had always thought to be a dependable car... a Nissan Sentra (2013). Little did I know, 3 years later, we would need to replace the transmission. We have been quoted $4,000 by the dealership to replace a transmission in a vehicle that is barely 3 years old but of course out of warranty. Seeing all of these reviews, I am absolutely furious. Nissan needs to do the right thing and recall these transmissions!

I am extremely disappointed in my Nissan Sentra. I bought this new with only 9 miles on it and at 16k miles my car broke down in the desert heading from California to Arizona labor day weekend. I eventually made it to Arizona and had to leave my car there a week to get the transmission replaced. My car has stalled recently with the battery needing to be replaced and the throttle body and gasket adapter failed. I now have 40k and I made a complaint with Nissan USA. They offered me $2k and to keep my car but I am scared driving this car with my daughter. I'm am waiting for Nissan to let me know if they will repurchase my car or replace... so we shall see but I do not want a Sentra ever again.

I purchased a "certified" 2012 Nissan Sentra in November 2013. In December 2015 my muffler was rusted and broke off. It wasn't covered under warranty so there goes $353.00. So here we are in December 2016 and my catalytic converter is out. Hopefully is covered under warranty but just another headache of owning a Nissan. I will never buy another Nissan. I should've stuck with Toyota. I previously owned a Certified Toyota Corolla and NEVER had any issues with it. Can't say the same for Nissan and I've only had the car for 3 years. NEVER AGAIN NISSAN!!!

Very unhappy, car performance is very poor... Purchased my vehicle Dec. 2014, been having issues with the transmission already, dealer now claims that is something to do with the TCM? This is ridiculous... Very unhappy...

I am disgusted. I will NEVER buy Nissan again. Reliable... Ha! I have 2013 Sentra, so yes only 3 yrs old, that just had a transmission replaced in Oct and just found out it failed again and Nissan corp sent a faulty replacement and it's being replaced for the 2x. UNHEARD OF. The dealer is useless, the service dept. is horrendous, no customer service at all. I just got a nasty call from Jose the supposed mgr in service but I was asking for a simple apology, even though he didn't assemble the car himself, sorry for the inconvenience. I got nothing but a NASTY attitude from him. I complained the Cust Serv Mgr and she never called me and he told me that she got my VM but told her "not to bother calling me back because he handled it". Shame on them both.

Had my vehicle in for regular maintenance a few weeks ago and 800 km later, my CVT is blown and requires replacement. Accelerator stopped working in the middle of driving to work. Luckily, I was able to pull off the main freeway before the vehicle came to stop. Also lucky it was only me, and not my kids in the vehicle with me. Spoke with a rep at Nissan Canada and because my warranty is 14,000 km passed. I'm stuck holding the bill on this one. Nissan previously extended warranty on CVT's for 2003-2010 transmissions, but seem to be unwilling to admit they are still defective. Come on Nissan! Step and up and stand behind your product.

Other than a few minor issues I enjoy my car greatly. I am working with Nissan to correct some issues but believe this car will give me many years of reliability from past experience with Nissan. I traded my Altima in for a Sentra this year. I love my Sentra, it is a great car. I have had some concerns with the brake performance, they are unlike any brakes on my previous Nissans. Nissan has checked the brakes and have assured me the brakes are performing as required. Problem is the brake will go all the way to the floor and that freaks me out. Again, Nissan has assured me that the brakes are performing as they should. Hopefully I will never have an issue with braking and it is taking some getting "accustomed to" with the brakes but hope in time I will be okay with them.

I bought this car brand new on 10/31/2015. It is a Nissan Sentra S model with a CVT transmission. At 1,055 miles I started having major problems with my transmission on this car. I live in the mountains of western NC and driving this car in the mountains is bad. Many complaints to Nissan USA and the BBB auto line have done nothing at all in solving this issue. I finally heard back from Nissan and they did offer me a 7 year - 100,000 mile extended warranty on this car with bumper to bumper coverage and a zero deductible. No problem there at all. The major issue here is the performance of this car of which is very poor.

I bought my 2014 Nissan Sentra in November 2014. Everything is fine. The car was good until my car started jerking and wouldn't pull. I didn't have any warning signs or no lights came on. I got it towed and hooked to a machine to find out my transmission was slipping. I called around to talk to people at shops and I was told it was too early for that. I think this is bull crap. They need to do a recall. Maybe we all can go in on a petition and have them give us our money back. This is ridiculous. I am not happy at all. This is my only transportation and it's not reliable at all.

It has been very dependable and the dealership is very supportive. I actually took my parents to buy this car and my Dad had wanted to get my Mom a new car to drive so if something happened to him she would have a car that she wouldn't have to worry about. Not too long after he got the car he passed away without ever driving the car. My Mom drove it for a while and then she ended up getting sick and she passed away as well. I ended up giving my brother and sister their monetary value of their share of the car and I love driving the Sentra. Even though it is as basic as they make a car now it's an awesome car for several reasons. It is fun to drive and it was the last car my parents owned.

My 2007 Nissan Sentra has been the best and most reliable car that I have ever owned. It gets excellent gas mileage, has never left me stranded, and has only required basic car maintenance outside of the recalled transmission that was replaced at no cost to me. I love my car so much that the next car I purchase will be another Nissan.

I purchased my Nissan Sentra in May of 2016. I needed something I could commute with and could hold 3 car seats if needed. The gas mileage has been within a mile/per gallon of the advertised efficiency and I am pleased with its performance so far. Although the Altima is technically the larger sedan I found that the Sentra was better for car seats and particularly fitting multiple car seats at once. The Altima is great for seating adults in the rear however the Sentra is a great fit for the busy pro/parent and the bench seat in the back is perfect for young kids.

This is by far the worst experience ever, I purchased my Nissan in May 2015 and in Sep 2016 my transmission went up on me. I had to get a new transmission. The dealership said and I believe I had 70,000 Miles. Went back a week later cause the same problem was going on. They told me Nissan Sentra drives like that and it's ok. Now I'm back at it again. Car been at the dealership for a week now because of the transmission again. This is crazy and as clients we shouldn't have to go through this. I'm so angry right now. All I want to do is get out of this Nissan and get another car but I can't because I owe too much on the vehicle.

The transmission completely went out on our 2013 Nissan Sentra at 72,000 miles. There were no warning lights, no clues that anything was wrong, until the car just stopped going when I'd step on the gas. The repair cost was $3,800. When I called Nissan to ask if they could assist us with the repairs, since there have been so many complaints about their faulty transmissions, they said there was nothing they could do to help us. Now all I can do is keep my receipt and wait for the recall to get reimbursed. It's sad because I really liked Nissan up until this point. No more Nissans for us.

Sentra has repeated problems with start and stop/start and stop. Also, stuttering at traffic lights and when traffic stops. Early replacement of strut bearings and battery. Push to start many times will not activate. Our vehicle only has just under 17,000 miles on it and we have had it just over 2 years. Has been in and out for service continually since 12/15. Last time left it for 11 days and still having the push to start problems and the start/stop problems too. If you are considering a Sentra go online and check out all of the customer complaints first but I personally recommend that you purchase another brand.

This is my 2nd vehicle purchase through Lithia Nissan of Fresno. My first car was a Versa Nissan 2014 and let me just say this car was very uncomfortable to the max so I couldn't wait to trade it in. I finally did and I got my Nissan Sentra 2015, drove nice, so much roomier and comfy. I love my car but here it is, my car is at 21700 miles. Mind you I purchase my car with only a little over 100 miles on it. Drove it off the lot in March of 2015 and I'm having all sorts of issues from high idling way above 2 rpm and I hear a knock sound when I hit the brakes and now when I accelerate. And I also notice when I give it gas, it goes super slow. I would use Sport but it drinks up my gas and it doesn't seem to go into gear right and it wobbles when I give it gas.

I purchased my 2013 Nissan Sentra as my second vehicle. Since I already had a 2005 Nissan Titan and had not had any major problems with it, I decided to return to Nissan. Unfortunately, I have now had the car approximately 3 years and the transmission is malfunctioning and needs to be exchanged. I was referred to the Nissan Corporation by the service department representative from our local Nissan dealership, since the vehicle is still fairly new, but was told that they would not be doing anything for me because it has 92,000 miles and am over my extended warranty of 75,000 miles. Not to mention, the representative's demeanor was rude and continued to ask "what would you like for us to do for you?"

Nissan needs to do a recall! We bought our 2015 Nissan Sentra less than 6 months ago brand new and it is already at the dealership getting a new transmission after only 19k miles. This is absolutely insane! Our whole reason for buying a new vehicle was to avoid this, at least for a few years...and here we are. Thankfully it is covered under warranty, but from the looks of the other reviews this problem is likely to happen again. We are going to try to get out of this vehicles as soon as we can. DO NOT BUY A NISSAN if you want a reliable vehicle!

I have a 2014 Nissan Sentra SR where the transmission stop working. A car stalled but not before jerking while driving even in cruise control. Car had to be towed to dealership. My car just crossed the 60,000 mark which basically put the powertrain under warranty. Apparently there is a problem with temperature of the CVT fluid which makes the transmission fail when the engine is hot. This is not the first time the performance of the car has been compromised. I was told nothing was wrong before. The bigger problem so far is the once the vehicle cooled down the transmission seemed to kick in. This is a total inconvenience and Nissan needs to own some responsibility. There is an obvious issue with Nissan transmissions. Please post more issue to gain more awareness.

I bought a 2014 Nissan Sentra that currently has 26k miles. Last week I experienced the engine completely dying when I was at a stop sign at a very busy intersection. The car would come on, but as soon as I tried to put it in Reverse or Drive, it completely died. I was able to get out of the road and was required to tow the vehicle to the nearest Nissan Service Center. No lights or warnings ever came on. The tow truck driver said he'd never seen a car do something like that.

We bought a 2013 Nissan Sentra and 3,000 miles over our warranty, the transmission locks up tight without any warning lights coming on to let us know there was an issue. The only warning lights that ever came on was "low washer fluid" and "low tire pressure". We were told that our transmission should've been recalled so we really had our hopes up but "Nissan Consumer Affairs" shot us down twice. I have reports from Jenkins Nissan in Brunswick, GA that said it was a transmission defect for it to lock up this tight... But still we were denied. Nissan has a defective transmission and a defective warning panel that doesn't even give us prior warning. We just had Hurricane Matthew come through here and we thought we had bad gas because the car was sputtering, but still no warning lights.

My daughter bought a 2015 Nissan Sentra brand new in Nov 2015. It has 81,000 miles on it now and recently now has this jerk that is gradually getting worse. When accelerating the RPMs go above 4 and jerks a few times then which seems like it goes in gear. Every time you speed up it jerks. This is crazy, but after reading all these comments of the transmission going out, I'm afraid that's where our Sentra is heading. I don't have 3,000 dollars laying around to fix it either! I think if they see more complaints about bad transmission they will be forced to do something. The other thing I wanted to mention is that I wanted to see if the transmission need more transmission oil, but that could not be done as you have to have specific tools to open it and check it and only the dealership can check it! SOL!!!

I bought my 2013 Nissan Sentra SL in 2014 with 12,500 miles on it. I noticed over the last six months or so that the rpms were revving up to 4 or 5 at times. I use sport mode sometimes and have always noticed that it caused the car to act funny when braking in sport mode. It would rev up and then almost "release" when braking. This past month, the car started jerking when changing gears, revving more, and even lost power when I pulled out onto the road. I was pressing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, and the car would not hardly move. It took a minute or so to start accelerating over 20 mph. Took it to the dealer, and they said it needed a transmission control module update for $98.

I purchased my 2012 Nissan Sentra in late 2013 and now I'm sitting in the Nissan dealer in Iris Dr in Conyers Ga being told my transmission is shot. Nissan HOW do you explain a 3 year old car with 120k miles transmission dying on the side of the road? I want my car fixed. As a disabled person in Ga I need my car. This is UNFAIR to your customers. With all the NISSAN transmission complaints why is there no RECALL?

I recently purchased a 2014 Sentra SV from the Balboa CarMax with 40,000 miles. It now has 44,000 and I too am experiencing the same transmission issue. Like really! I've had the car for less than a month. I haven't even received my DMV information! I'm taking it into the dealership today because I too was pressured into buying this vehicle and was assured that it was a very reliable good car and no open recalls were on it. I should have opened Google right then and looked up issues on my phone to verify for myself. But I'm a trusting person and went ahead with purchasing the vehicle.

I bought a brand new 2013 Nissan Sentra with 25 miles. I've had this car for 3 years with 71,000 miles and now the transmission is hard shifting, sometime no shifting, racing, hesitation when accelerating. Took it to Nissan dealership and now they are telling me the transmission needs replacing at my expense ($3,200.00). Nissan should totally be responsible for this repair. I've never heard of a 3 year old car needing a new transmission.

Well I bought my 2015 Nissan Sentra in Jan 2016 brand new and ever since I got it it has been giving me problems. First the transmission started acting weird like it would start idling at stop lights so West Covina Nissan where I purchased it at fixed it. Then it happened again. They didn't fix it, they said it was normal. I could keep going with the problems I've been having with my Sentra but it's too much to type. lol. I just don't recommend no one to buy a Nissan... seriously???

Purchased the 2015 Sentra in April of 2015. Right off the bat started having problems with RPMs and losing power on steep hill climbing. Once you start the climb and then slow down and accelerate again the RPMs start bouncing from 2 to 4 and the car loses power and it takes a while to get back up to speed again. I took it to the dealer and they said they couldn't replicate the problem sooo... just like everyone else I am getting nowhere with the dealership and am afraid I will be in the same boat as all the other reviews with a no care and no fix attitude. It now has 36000 miles on it and I do have an extended warranty to 100000 miles, but what is the point if they replace it with the same crappy transmission it originally had. I don't know!!!

I bought my 2012 Nissan Sentra in 2013 with 8,000 miles on it. Now 3 years later, February 2016, i have had my fuse block replaced at NIssan. And now I have been told that I have thrown a rod, engine blown, and that it was catastrophic failure. How can this be? I have had regular oil changes and my most recent one was only 3 weeks ago. I had no warning, no noise, no warning lights. Last Monday, I was driving on the highway 9 p.m. by myself when all of a sudden my car RPM shot up, my engine started losing power, then I heard a weird "puff, puff, puff" noise and I barely made it off the highway before the radiator started spewing, and then I felt a big thud in the front of my car. I was sitting along the highway, at night with semi-trucks and cars flying by. I only had my hazard lights. I was scared and angry, sitting by the highway hating Nissan for making such a piece of junk.

I got my Nissan Sentra sl 2013 with 9,000 miles on it. Kept it well maintained. At 25,000 my battery went out. I went to autozone to get it check they told me the battery that was on my car was not the original battery. At 30,000 miles I would hear a squeaking sound coming from my brakes. Took it to les schwab for a free brake check. The whole rear brake was falling apart. I got it replaced my brakes are good. At 50,000 miles my Sentra would not accelerate when I would step on the gas. My rpms were up to 7 going no more than 60 mph.My best friend has a nissan sentra sr 2013 so I thought to call her to see if she has had the same problem. She said yes. She recommended me not to drive your car and get a transmission flush. So I did.

We recently purchased a 2015 Nissan Sentra with 1900 miles. We had to return the vehicle three times for service. We had to replace the brakes after it has only been driven 2000 miles. The car was brought back by the previous owner which we do not have any knowledge of why, and the owner returned the vehicle at some point in time. The dealership does not care about how many hours we have spent and wasted of our time. They offer no compensation for the horrible purchasing experience we have had and the lemon they have sold us. Nissan is making a horrible product and needs to be held accountable for the defective cars they are selling to people.

My 2013 Nissan Sentra hit 62,000 miles and my transmission is failing and needs to be replaced. I have seen so many dissatisfied people with this same issue. Is there a recall started? How many of us have to suffer before it is recalled?

I have a 2013 Nissan Sentra SV that I bought with 17k miles. Right now it has 66k miles on it and now I got the famed p0846 and p0965 code on it, which means that it needs a new transmission. If anybody would ask me for advice on buying a vehicle, I would first point out nissan as a brand to avoid. My quote for replacing cvt is no less than $3000 at the moment. And I am out of warranty. I have ever been doing a lot of research and found out that there are many other people going through the same thing as me. Why hasn't nissan done a recall for complete cvt replacement. Not just some little duct tape patch job reprogramming of the cvt. Many who have gotten the reprogramming performed on their vehicles still needed the transmission replaced shortly after.

I bought my 2015 Sentra SV in late July 2016. It was used, with 32,000 miles. Two weeks after I got the car, the check engine light came on. I was also having a problem with the car acting as if it were going to die. Didn't matter if I was driving or stopped. It had no power whatsoever. I took it in, the dealer said that the engine light was on because a filter needed cleaning in the engine. And the resistance I was feeling while driving was due to the CVT. I thought he was wrong, but I am not a mechanic. Fast forward one month, which is now. The car literally almost died while I was driving. I can't even merge onto a road until there are NO cars in sight because the car takes what feels like 5 minutes to get to 30mph. I took it to dealer, they called me late afternoon and said I needed a new transmission. How does this happen to a car that is one year old! Unacceptable. DO NOT BUY A NISSAN.

I purchased a 2016 Nissan Sentra and less than 2 weeks the car is giving me problems. The first storm came and my window won't go down. Salesman told me to call service and make an appointment. Later the same day the car begin to stall when trying to accelerate on a highway and up steep hills. At this point I want a refund or a different car. For this to be a brand new car and under two weeks of having it but no. I was told no. I can trade but that would cost even more. I once again called the salesman only this time no answer. Left a message and a text message and got no response. So I decided to go to the dealership only to be passed around from person to person. I was told to bring the car in on that Monday. End result the window was fixed, no codes came on the computer and the air bag needed to be reset. Overall the worst customer service ever and still stuck with the car.

I purchased my 2013 Nissan Sentra brand new with only 8 miles on the odometer. I took my car in for a recall on a needed software update to the CVT Transmission in May of 2016 and it's now September 2016 and just got a quote to replace the entire transmission. I am highly disturbed that a 3yr old car would have problems but I am even more bothered that Nissan would allow this to continue to happen if it's a known issue. I am a diehard Nissan supporter and even now have faith that Nissan will step up to the plate and keep their brand 5 star. I think Nissan needs to go back to their R&D department and figure this CVT issue out and in the meantime take care of their owners. - Nissan Owner/Supporter on the edge

I am back on this for the 3rd time, I have had three new transmissions replaced on my 2013 Nissan Sentra within 10 months!!!! First 2 covered under warranty 3rd covered under extended warranty. Now problems again!! I have lost complete power while going 65 on the highway, trucks flying by me etc. I can't drive in traffic that is bumper to bumper, my car will jerk or stall. I bring it in and they say they can't replicate the problem then a week later it dies on the highway so I have to go through the ordeal of a tow each time. Maybe when someone dies they will acknowledge the problem!!!

I purchased my 2013 Sentra new. After my first month's service I told the service people that the transmission seemed to be louder than other vehicles that I've had. The service guy told me that all the Sentras have that sound and I took him for his word. The car drove fine until I reached 59,000 miles. I noticed the car would lose power even when I accelerated. That was scary because one time I was on the beltway during rush hour. Fortunately, there was a median that I pulled to. I put the car in park and waited a while and the car drove normally.

2013 Nissan Sentra - I've owned this car for 3 years & the transmission has gone out. I used to love Nissan's but this CVT transmission is junk. We need Consumer Affairs to speak up for us & get rid of these Nissan transmissions.

I purchased my new Nissan Sentra SR 2014 in Sept. of 2014. I now have 14000 miles at almost 2 years old. I have transmission problems already. I sat at dealership over 5 hours, took it in for airbag passenger light recall, oil change and tire rotation and noise infront. Nothing got done but was told it was transmission and I'd get a new one next week. It was safe to drive. They would give me a loaner car. I'm thinking out of all the cars I have had a new car with 14000 miles in 2 years shouldn't have transmission issues. Frustrated as I thought I was buying a reliable car. Am a senior citizen and thought I'd have this car till I couldn't drive anymore. I have one more year left on warranty 3 year extended warranty and lifetime powertrain. Should I trade it in on a Toyota???

I have had problems with the transmission after driving for an hour my car will lose power and not accelerate over 60 mph. I can have the pedal pushed to the floor and it still won't go. I've had my car checked and they say nothing is wrong and there are no recalls.This is extremely dangerous when driving on the highway and youre car just won't accelerate on you and you have 18 wheelers behind you. I'm very concerned about this for not only my safety but my children's also. Nissan will not do anything about this and now the better business bureau will be involved on this issue. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN AND WILL MAKE SURE NONE OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS DO NOT EITHER!!!! It's sad that they are not concerned with their customers and the danger this can cause.

Well, I guess it's my turn. I bought my Nissan Sentra 2014 in 2015 with 7,000 miles give or take on it. At 20,000 the transmission blew!!! HUH! I took it to Nissan where they said they were giving me a "new" transmission. I pick the car up but still does not work properly. At this point, I do not feel safe in the car. Nissan Northeast also informed me that there was a recall on my seat belts R1608, so please be mindful of that recall because I did not even receive notification until I called Consumer Affairs about my transmission. I am very disappointed in Nissan. I will never buy another. I should have stayed with Toyota... Oh by the way I am still in a Loaner Car.

Brand new 2016 Sentra SV. As of today I have had the car for 6 days. When I test drove it Wed June 17 it had 12k. I got what I thought was amazing deal. 0% interest, 0 down, open ended loan. Great for a brand new car. Tuesday June 21 on my way home from work first stoplight I came to foot on the brake and car was shaking badly. I had it in eco mode so I popped that out. Took a few seconds to get through light but for the rest of the way home I would put it in eco mode when coming to a stop to see if it did it again. It didn't. Wed June 22 get in car to leave for gym. Car wouldn't start. Second attempt it started but shook badly. In park. (Now I had 647km on it as Sat night I drove it to London to try out the different modes. Sport, eco and regular. Tried the cruise control too. Seemed fine.)

I bought a 2015 Nissan Sentra in October 2015 with only 7 miles. In Feb. my car ended up in the shop with "computer problems" after stalling and dying 3 different time styles at red lights. In the middle of very high traffic areas trying to take it to the dealer. In May my car died on the road and the torque converter was shot. Going down a mountain in weed California. Causing me to miss my first grandbaby's baby shower. With a big rig right behind me. I was stranded for 3 hours on the side of the road as they told me towing was not a part of my warranty. My husband finally went through our private insurance. They replaced my transmission. 2 weeks later we were back in the shop because a grommet fell from the AC onto the transmission. The day after I got it back I was going up a hill to go to the movies with a few friends and my car bogged down. She noticed how the AC slowed as well as the car.

I bought a Nissan Sentra, drove it for work, put 45000 miles on it and the struts and shocks are leaking. I've changed the synthetic oil every 3.000 miles, put high octane gas in it, pampered it and just drove it for a living. Haven't hit any bumps, pot holes or other potentially damaging obstructions. Now, per Brakes Plus, and I saw it for myself, my struts are leaking which can cause my tires to wear out quickly. If an automobile is of good quality, the mileage shouldn't make a difference. You can rack up the miles on a Honda and it keeps on running flawlessly... not so the Nissan. Now I'm feeling a wobbling in the front end upon acceleration and have had the tires rotated. I'm worried that the automobile that I paid so much for and still owe an arm and a leg for, will turn craps on me before paying it off.

Have 2013 Nissan Sentra that we bought new. Car has 29,000 miles on it as wife's trip to work is short. She heard some crunching sound in the transmission and the car started to die when put into gear. I actually took a car stethoscope and listened to the trans down by the back firewall and it sounded like gears grinding. I tried to look for trans dip stick, but manual basically says "owner no touch" and I couldn't find the dip stick anywhere. Took it to dealer. A few days later he calls and says -- "cars all set!" I said "Well... What did you do to fix it?" "Oh, we put a remanufactured transmission into it." You think they would call and ask your permission first? When I get ready to sell it, do I have to tell the person I sell it to that it has a remanufactured trans? Will they buy it? Is my resale shot now? Did I just lose $12,000 resale value? Sorry, but Nissan should give us a new car and let them sell this one with a remanufactured trans in it.

I got my 2013 Nissan Sentra in July 2015 with 100,000 mile extended warranty. It had 60,000 miles on it. After about 2-3 weeks of driving the car I noticed the RPM was running around 3-4 and sometimes hesitant. I took it to Nissan and they told me that it was a recall on the CVT and that should fix the problem. Well it didn't! The car got worse. I took it back to Nissan for them to tell me the transmission fluid needed to flushed and the warranty wouldn't cover the transmission because the fluids were dirty. Why am I responsible for dirty transmission fluid???

I bought a brand new 2010 Nissan Sentra from Brampton North Nissan for $33,200.00 including extended warranty up to 80,000KM or until April 2017. At 64000KM the car began to stall, check engine light and traction signal continually come on. The car won't start when it is cold, hard start, shudders when I am driving, sometimes smell of gasoline when it's started and a host of other problems. When this problem began in 2014, I took the car back to Brampton North Nissan where I bought it. They did a diagnostic test and told me that nothing was wrong with the car. Then when I went to pick it up from their parking lot the car did not start.

I purchased my Sentra 16 brand new 2015, had 13 miles on it. I'm at 6000 and I already need a new transmission. Really Nissan?!

I purchased my Nissan Sentra new, 10 miles on it and I decided this time to buy all the toys in it. First I started getting vibration problem and low gas mileage. I had a recall to fix that problem but then started getting more vibrations in the car which loosen the hood latch and heat shield. Then my wife and I drove to Myrtle Beach from Massachusetts. After the first night in Myrtle Beach I went down to start up my car and the engine was making a loud noise and the engine rpm was over six which I could not stop. We took it to a local Nissan dealership who could not find anything on the computer.

I filed a complaint with Nissan because my Nissan Sentra's transmission went out on it. I've read reviews and this is very common. I believe it's unfair to sell cars that will break down on you with low mileage. I am going to surrender the car even if it ruins my credit. I've always bought from Toyota and those cars last me forever. Like I told Nissan, I have a 32-year-old car that has not given me a problem until a month ago and it only needs the radiator, other than that the car is fine. So I don't understand why a two-year-old car would break down so fast. I am very disappointed with Nissan. I am also contacting the news so they can give warning to consumers that are or might be victims of Nissan's crappy products.

Bought a 2013 Sentra SV from Metro Nissan of Redlands. From the beginning I noticed that the car shuttered on acceleration. This led to loss of acceleration at various times and car had NO POWER. Took into Redlands Nissan dealership. They claim the computer needed to be reset and was completed by them under warranty. Over the next few months the same problem would occur again at various times. Finally took it back to Redlands Nissan and wouldn't you know it, I'm out of warranty! So this time they tell me that I needed a new transmission (quoted on paperwork $3675.00 for a remanufactured transmission).

Purchase the 2013 Nissan Sentra last month February 2016 with 31,000 miles. It's the worst car I have ever owned, don't know where to start. The side panel on the floor came off when I was stepping out, the passenger side rubber is coming off. The air bag light comes on and off as it pleases, and now when I turn on the air conditioner or heat it vibrates like crazy. I will never buy a Nissan again, never had this problem with a car and I owned a Ford for 11 years.

Bought my 2013 Nissan Sentra SV in Sept. 2014. CVT transmission broken at 124,000 miles. What a rip off! Had Hondas at 300,000 miles with no train problem. Outside my warranty and they want $3800 for a remanufactured train. 12,000 mile warranty.

I got my 2014 Sentra May 2014. In December 2015, a year and a half later with only 15,000 miles on the car, I started to hear a clinking sound when turning the wheel. And with a road trip to Nashville coming up I knew I needed to take my car in. I took it to the dealership I bought it from and they come back to tell me the front suspension and strut bearings need replaced!!! WHAT?? The car has 15,000 miles on it how is this possible!!! Luckily this was under warranty.

This was my first brand new car. Bought it with only 25 miles. Here are a list of problems I have had with the car since the purchase. At 3,000 miles: Rear Brakes "drums" had a piston problem and rattled. Took it in and they were replaced and the problem never came up again. At 45,000 Miles I took the car in to get the Recalls flashed which were an Airbag passenger sensor and CVT transmission Flash. Didn't notice anything different in shifts or smoothness and haven't had any problems.
