About a week ago, my car started making noises when idling, which I thought little of because my car only has around 76,000 miles on it and is well taken care of. Over the next few days, the noise became a full-on rattle (like an amplified version of bike gears grinding). When driving, the car will lurch forward and will jerk even harder when turning. Within the first few minutes of driving each time I use the car, it has no power and feels as if it wants to "pull back" and hinder me from moving forward. I've taken the car to two mechanics and have had the transmission looked over. Both mechanics believe that the transmission is the underlying problem. After researching cvc transmissions on other 2014 Sentra, I've discovered that many other owners have had the same issue with even less mileage than my own car. Many of these Sentra drivers felt unsafe driving their vehicles. I too, feel that continuing to drive my car is a hazard to me and other drivers as the faltering and jerking of the engine are unpredictable which could cause a potential wreck. Nissan Sentra transmissions from 2003-2010 have been recalled to the best of my knowledge, but not for the succeeding years of the same model.
At 35 mph, car lost power decelerating rapidly to 1 mph. The dashboard lit up with 5-6 warning lights as brakes, engine, skid control, etc. Dealership could not determine problem and had to call Nissan for assistance. Car had to be towed. The problem was caused by an A/C pressure switch--92136-1fada.
