My transmission has gone out twice since I purchased this vehicle in June 2015. In October 2015, my car wouldn't accelerate. I took it to the local Nissan dealership in which they told me that it was electrical wiring from my tail lights to my brake. 3 months later, my car has the same symptoms. I take it to the local dealership again and they tell me that it's the transmission and eventually, after several weeks of conversing back and forth, they finally agree to replace the transmission after my car won't shift out of first gear on my way home from school, around 10 pm, on the bypass going about 35mph all by myself. It took approximately a month for the car to start being symptomatic, yet again. I take it back and drop it off for about 3 days. They can't find the source of the problem without a service engine light on so they tell me there's nothing to do and they send it back to me. This happens a few times within a couple of months. Several weeks go by with the car still being symptomatic and not shifting gears correctly. The car keeps jumping and won't drive correctly so I finally take it back to Nissan, after calling about the problem and them telling me that nothing can be done until they see a service engine light on the car for it to throw a code. Today, October 3, 2016, I take it back to columbus Nissan and about halfway there, it won't shift. It then wont accelerate once I off of the bypass so I had to literally roll into the parking lot of the Nissan dealership. They then tell me they can't do anything really because the service light isn't on and the service men are at lunch. Tiffany, an employee of columbus Nissan, offers me a ride back to my apartment and to leave me car there for them to look at it after lunch. They later call me and tell me it's my transmission out yet again. They're waiting to hear back from the Nissan usa business.

My 2014 Nissan Sentra has issues with acceleration. At various times even with the accelerator full pushed down, the car will not accelerate and will eventually slow to under 20 mph even on a flat surface. Nissan has repaired the issue once, but now will not respond to my correspondence in regards to the issue, now the car is out of warranty and is having the same issue, I have less than 45K on the car. In addition, the tails lights are retaining moisture, I have read that this may be causing a short in the electrical system and may be the cause of the problem. I am afraid to drive the car and it is now parked in my driveway. This has happened multiple times and the problem still remains unresolved. Mileage at the first incident is approximate, but it did happen less than a year after purchasing the car new.

While driving 65 mph with cruise control on, the cruise control cut out and my car started slowing down. I depressed the gas pedal but the car continued to slow down to about 45 mph, then started slowly gaining speed. After work, I drove home without incident. Next day was foggy so not using cruise control. Vehicle slowed down again from 60 mph down to about 45 mph. Also got no response when depressing gas pedal. This time the traction control light on the dashboard came on. Drove home after work without incident. I had gotten the oil changed the day before the first incident happened. I had no previous problems prior to that. The issue seems to have resolved itself as the car is running fine now. If it occurs again, I'll have it checked out.

My daughter parked on a slightly inclining driveway and was exiting the vehicle. She heard a grinding noise and the car started rolling backwards. She jumped back in the seat and attempted to stop the car but states " the brakes wouldn't work". the car was off and the keys were in her hand. The car rolled almost 100 feet before her still-open driver's door hit a parked SUV which stopped the car before it rolled out into the street. The door was bent completely backwards and has to be replaced. The car is undriveable until I can get it repaired. I will add that I bought the car 1 month ago with 6651 miles on it. Carfax reported a minor rear end accident that I should have been more wary of!
