I have a 2013 Nissan Sentra, which I have had continuous problems with the transmission. A year or two ago, it locked up and left me stranded. When I towed it in, and they replaced the entire shifter. They also did an "adjustment" to the transmission. This caused the vehicle to drive poorly. It either would have a lag when accelerating, or would rapidly accelerate. I called to complain after the adjustment. The dealer told me it was and adjustment Nissan required in order keep the transmission from going out. So I put up with it. Unfortunately, I was not able to use the car to teach my kids to drive because of the transmission adjustment. Once it accelerated so instantly that my daughter almost ran through the garage. I talked to the dealer and they said the adjustment was needed and there was nothing they could do. Now guess what, the transmission is going out. It only has around a 105000 miles. It starts jerking and stays stuck in a low grear. Almsot died on the highway. I have had it serviced properly and meticulously. I have put up with the trans adjustment. Now the dealer (rikart Nissan) wants $4200 to fix it. After some research, I have noticed there are tons of class action suits, etc. They say they will not repair or rebuild it. They say it is such a terrible transmission they will only replace the whole thing.

Vehicle has been having acceleration problems since first bought from carmax. Transmission was replaced under warranty but vehicle is still not accelerating when going up hills. This vehicle is a major safety problem and liability issue. Carmax has failed to address it further and fix

Transmission started failing, out of Nissan's class action settlement extension to 84,000 miles as my car had 95,000 miles on it. I bought this car brand new and maintained it for my daughter to drive and was hoping it would last her through college. I drove it last Friday, traded it in on Sunday as cost to repair exceeded the value of the car. Was not informed of recall which is odd as only owner of car but regardless the vehicle not safe due to known issues of cvt drivetrain. Car would jump, hesitate, no power then it would catch and lunge when gas applied. Going downhill seemed to cause loss of power and would actually slow car down causing me to have to accelerate to go downhill and thus pull off road to stop and let the car seem to rest prior to interstate driving. Thankful weather not bad when this happened or that my daughter not in a wreck because of this known issue. Will boycott Nissan products rest of my life. Spoke with Nissan rep who informed me nothing can be done by Nissan to help me. I helped myself and bought a Honda.

When the car is stopped and in "park" (the engine may be running or off and you go to start it up), the car will not come out of "park". this happens randomly. To get the car out of "park", per the owner's manual, there is an inset half-circle (8mm) plastic piece labeled "shift lock" next to the shifter that has to be pried off with an appropriately sized tool and then an appropriately sized tool has to be inserted into the slot and pressed down while the shifter is simultaneously moved out of "park" (note: You need to use both hands to accomplish this plus obtain the necessary tools). This happens when the car is stopped and in "park" - while waiting to pick someone up, stopping to drop someone off, in a traffic jam; at a safety check on a highway, parked in a lot, parked in a garage, etc. This problem of the shifter stuck in "park" only happens when the car is not in motion and the transmission has been placed in the "park" position - the engine can be either on or off and you go to start the car.

Car has 103000 miles. Bought used and after had Nissan service campaigns completed and stating car in good shape. Then car began high revvving before shifting, occasional shudder when shifting to drive or reverse, then enters low mode with no acceleration. Took to Nissan dealer and they said needs new transmission. Contacted Nissan Consumer Affairs and filed a complaint. They denied the claim only stating car is out of warranty, no offer to at least share the cost. This clearly should be a full transmission recall. Do not buy a car with a cvt!

First time was in san marcos on I-10 freeway while on the way to work while in the middle lane the RPM shot up then back down and the car slowed down real fast to about 20 to 25 mph and with no break lights showing almost got rear ended, luckily was able to pull off with out an accident, and after a couple of minutes started and drove normal. After a couple of week coming home due to the coronavirus and again on the freeway it happened again. Towed it to gunn Nissan in san antonio tx and filed a complaint with Nissan Consumer Affairs and they did nothing, so the dealership charged me $1100 to fix it, so I payed even tho Nissan should take responsibility for the repairs. 6 days after it was so called fixed and again on the freeway RPM shot up the car slowed to 20 to 25 pmh and almost rear end because no break lights came on. Returned it to the same dealership and now they say it needs a new transmission $4000. Mileage the first about 82,000, and the last time 85,500 Nissan new extended warranty 7 years or 84,000 miles and in California 10 years or 120,000 miles why only California. The issue with Nissan cvt transmissions are very serious and could have costed my stepdaughter her live. I payed to have it repaired and 6 days later they want me to pay for a new transmission.

The car accelerates slower. On eco mode, the car gets stuck on a gear; sometimes it will get stuck on the second or third gear. For example, today it revved up to 5000 RPM as I was merging onto the freeway and I had to pull over because it was stuck on gear 3.

My transmission failed while I was driving down a main road. I brought it to the dealer twice before. The first time they told me I had to keep driving it until it got worse. The second time they said nothing was wrong with it. I brought it to a transmission expert 5 days later who took pictures as proof that it was failing. The next day is when it broke down. Nissan is producing cars with faulty transmissions and then making their customers pay for it. This cvt transmission needs to be recalled. People's lives are in danger.
