Car would shake and stutter in the middle of acceleration. After a stop, my car would hold back and jump before it accelerated again. The RPM meter would also shoot up and the car would begin to pull in the middle of the freeway. Very unsafe.

This is 4 years after my first transmission died and was replaced. I couldn-??t keep my car speed up in evening traffic, at 65mph, and my RPM-??s began to jump back and forth, never steadying. My car jerked so badly I was struggling to control it and several cars had to pass me, going into the lane to the left of me. I had to drive it one more day, tonight, and after 60 minutes of driving, at 70mph on the interstate, when 3/4 of the way home, it began violently jerking again and RPM-??s were jumping uncontrollably. Again, I struggled to control the vehicle and had to decelerate by removing my foot from the gas pedal. I had to put my emergency lights on, so other vehicles would hopefully go around me. Almost home, I could barely accelerate after stopping for a red light, then my car dramatically slowed to about 10mph with a tractor trailer approaching behind me, though thankfully, on a less-traveled road, so I had time to pull over, not completely stopping because I was afraid it wouldn-??t accelerate at all if I did, from experience with the first transmission. After the truck passed, I slowly managed to make it uphill to the next intersection, where again, once accelerating when I turned, the car began jerking erratically. It never made it above 30mph for the last 3 minutes home. It was late at night and very dark. This car - this transmission issue - is absolutely terrifying. To drive along a consistent speed and suddenly have an out-of-control vehicle, with numerous cars around you while driving 70mph, is terrifying. My last transmission died while driving - had that happened on the dark interstate, no doubt I would have caused an accident. I have a 2.5 year old amd 15 year old - there is no way I trust this vehicle with them in it. I-??m now afraid of my vehicle stopping in the middle of a busy roadway and causing a catastrophic accident just to get it to the dealership 25 minutes away. Death, injury, and/or trauma is waiting. Our children are worth more than this.

I first had an issue with my transmission in 2016, maybe a year after purchasing, at 72k miles. I was driving on the interstate at 75/80mph when suddenly my car decelerated rapidly, with a large tractor trailer directly behind me. I veered off the interstate, onto the shoulder, with the tractor trailer barely missing me. My 11 year old son was also with me. After that, I-??d occasionally have issues with my car not wanting to accelerate at all. I got stuck a few times in the roadway, until it would suddenly work again 20-30 minutes later after sitting. My next long trip was a 3 hour trip from home several months later. My transmission died, while driving, at about 45mph. I couldn-??t make it back home and had to have it towed. It was replaced, and I-??m having new issues now, which I-??ll put in a second report. What are your children worth to you" Do you want them to be in an accident because a cvt transmission failed in front of them and you or your children-??s responsible party couldn-??t stop on time? What are my children worth" This was and is terrifying. Please email me for additional information - I don-??t have it at this very moment.

CVT transmission has never been right since the car was nearly new. Shifting was erratic and would slip as it shifted to a higher gear, twice the car lost speed on the highway, motor running and RPM's revving indicating a transmission failure. We had it in to be checked under warranty twice (under 55,000 miles). All they would do is a software upgrade and said there was nothing wrong with it. The problems got worse and we took it to another dealer. They dropped the pan and "checked" for metal shavings. New fluid added and sent on our way again, saying nothing is wrong, that this is normal for a CVT transmission. Obviously no one was going to fix or replace it and all we could do was to continue to drive the vehicle. Now the transmission has failed completely. RPM's jumping up and down, car jerking, loss of power, we were worried of getting rear ended as we couldn't drive at a continuous speed. We barely made to a relatives house to park it. It has been towed to the dealer again and is being checked out. I cannot believe a recall has never been filed for the CVT transmission in these vehicles. Obviously Nissan is not going to do anything about the problem, even though there are thousands of complaints and a class action lawsuit filed against Nissan for this safety hazard.

Check engine light went on went to have it checked. A code of P17F0 came up. It's a cvt/transmission issue. My car won't accelerate upon hitting the gas and it jerks and shudders once I gain some speed. Rpms jump. At times my car seems to stall. I haven't driven it in week. Because I've been trying to get estimates on how much it would cost to fix. I only take this vehicle to and from work on regular streets. It's only a 15 minute drive.

Ever since I first brought the vehicle brand new with 23 miles on it I've had problems with what almost seems like the transmission, but I think it's a sensor that tell the car to shift or give gas. My engine has came on a few times then gone off it had to do with a sensory that was causing to much air to leak into the gas line, reason for the studdering when you accelerate at stop signs. The car out of no where just stop giving gas and takes a long time to shift when I first mention the problems to the car company they said the engine shifts on its own so it can feel a little greeky ?? what kinda answer is that. Needless to say I had another issue with mostuire getting into my headlights and causing the lighting systems to malfunction. I don't see this car lasting me another 2 years the way the car runs. And I do in town driving.

Check engine light came on with a code P0101. I had maf sensor replaced with Nissan part and check engine light is still on. Now I am getting a reading for low voltage for the maf sensor. After researching, I have found that this is a very common problem. I now have to take car in to have electrical wiring and computer checked because there is some problem with the car's computer communicating with maf sensor.secondary problem is now the traction light randomly keeps illuminating and car loses acceleration from time to time. Car only has 51,000 miles on it.

Transmission slipping, hesitating, and lunging. Some times causes sudden acceleration or deceleration, almost causing accidents. Car is also starting to make abnormal sounds from time to time, which started when the transmission issues started. Sometimes the car has even tried to lunge forward when brake is applied in a stopped position. This transmission was already changed once because original owner complained of lack of acceleration. The car only has 50K on it. Taking it to Nissan service center this weekend! but I can imagine what I'm going to hear.

I have a 2014 Nissan Sentra. My vehicle start jerking and barely driving while on the road. I had it towed to a shop and they said it was cvt. Nissan have a judgement against them for a faulty cvt and required to honor to replace this with certain miles or 7 years. My car meet the total year and Nissan refuse to pay. My car is currently at Nissan and they email me a bill for 4,000. I don't feel Nissan is owning up to the fact these transmission was built faulty and I can't afford nor should I have to pay for such. Please assist me with solving this issue. I only have one car and Nissan must honor their judgement since it's been confirmed cvt for my vehicle

Cvt transmission failed without any signs that a problem was present or warning of an issue. The vehicle was parked and upon driving it, it made several unexplained noises. The vehicles was stopped and would not move anymore. No prior issues or warnings in driving it up to this inccident. Nissan corporate.was contacted and they said they could not help replace.the transmission or give any discounts towards the replacement which was $4,000.. also my local Nissan dealer would not help with financial assistance or a discount. Nissan sent out extended warranties for this issue and knows it it a problem. But will not help you if you are past their warranty.

The transmission would occasionally slip while in motion during acceleration. When the vehicle was brought into the dealer for an oil change, we brought the issue to their attention. Service department advised that a tcm software update was needed. I located a service campaign bulletin covering tcm reprogram covering 2013 vehicles (sb-10051662-4475). Nissan Consumer Affairs will not address the 2014 issue at this time.
