In 2008 I purchased a new 2008 Nissan Sentra. Following the purchase I have incurred numerous issues and safety hazards. The vehicle began jerking during acceleration 3 months after purchase, I informed dealership of issue and was informed that nothing was defective within the vehicle. 11 months following initial diagnose transmission was replaced 11 months after. The replacement transmission was covered under warranty. The gears shifted from 65 mph to 40 mph while traveling on major highway, 3 year old toddler was present. Shift in gears almost caused major accident. Following replacement of transmission, traveling on garden state parkway, car once again shifts gears and drops from 65 mph to 40 mph, once again almost causing major accident. This vehicle has had numerous recalls. Contacted Nissan's Consumer Affairs, was told to return to original dealer and nothing else could be done. Due to safety hazards I have been without a vehicle and have had to rent a vehicle to Transport to rutgers university where I attend full-time. My current issue with this vehicle places my life and well being in danger. I have contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and was informed to return the vehicle the original dealer. The original dealer has since sold the dealership to his son, and the new dealer refuses to assist me, stating that the previous dealership and the new dealership have no affiliation with one another.
