This car has the CVT, and it is worthless. I have a 2016 Nissan Sentra just hit over 100,000 miles, and I already had to replace the transmission in February 2024, and it just went again and needs replaced. That-??s three months. it might have a warranty, but this is not worth my time. There is no way this should-??ve went in three months and the first month, I did not drive because I had knee replacement. Nissan is not helpful at all about this issue and we have put over $4,000 Into this, and that does not count utilizing a car while the cars in the shop or anything else.

I have been having this problem for years and no one has been able to tell me what is wrong or how I can fix it. My RPM-??s will fluctuate rapidly and I am unable to accelerate and it feels jumpy. It stopped accelerating completely one time on the freeway. I was only able to get back up to 25mph, it was so scary. Luckily I was close to an exit and got off. Replaced mass air flow sensor and it started working normally for about a month. It has not completely stopped working since then but the RPM-??s still fluctuate most days. I feel scared it will give out one day or cause me to crash. I have taken it to different mechanics as well as the Nissan dealership and they all say nothing seems wrong. They recommend a transmission drain and fill, which I have done. The problem still persists. I see this is a common issue with others as well. It needs to be addressed as it is extremely scary and puts peoples lives at risk.

Transmission was failing without any check engine light on-> right passenger side tire would skid before transmission was replaced -> new transmission replaced still has issues shifting at times. Inspection was done by Nissan 104th in Northglenn.( sends out a threat to public by transmission not shifting gears properly to move or get out of way of other cars going faster speeds) Seat belt restraint system-> dashboard displays little person but when shifting from P to D and going above 40 the seatbelt icon doesn-??t blink or make any sound just is stuck on until seatbelt is put in then it goes away( this displays a safety concern for self and others)

I read all of the 214 complaints by consumers who have had the same scary incident occur to them. I have completed all of my recalls and for the life of the vehicle I have had the maintenance plan. The car has been well taken car of. After reading the complaints, I also have had an incident where the vehicles RPM's increased for no reason almost causing me to hit another vehicle in front of me and I quickly swerved to miss the vehicle. Then as quick as this happened the car just slowed down to a complete stop. I tried putting my foot on the accelerator and the vehicle would not move. I then pressed the accelerator all the way down to the floor of the vehicle. Nothing. This halting stop almost caused several vehicles to get in an accident. This is a serious problem and Nissan needs to rectify this horrible safety issue and fix all of our cars. I am going to talk to a lawyer. This is going to kill someone or cause serious harm to others.

The check engine light keeps coming on and it gives the code for a mass airflow sensor. I went to the mechanic, had them clean it for $126 and one year later my check engine light is back on with the same code. Online there are many people with the same vehicle stating they have the part replaced, and the same thing happens again with a check engine, light coming on giving that code. It states online if the car is dangerous to drive with this code being the mass air flow sensor. This needs to be a recall because this part is very expensive with labor ($4-$600) for this problem to keep re-occurring. Nissan needs to do something about this issue!!!!!

Check engine light is on. Rpm is high when driving less than 40 mph. Low mileage transmission problems. I drive a 2016 Nissan Sentra sv with less that 60,000 miles.

One of the gaskets or public seals on the vehicle failed. When the adhesive that holds this gasket in place fails, it reduces the integrity of the windshield. When it initially failed, it was hitting both the windshield and passenger side window as I drove on the highway. I was advised that the windshield does not have it full level of protection without this seal. Consumer Affairs and the dealers have been unable to provide an answer as to why the gasket fails especially so early in the life of the car. It is a 2016 with less than 80,000. The dealer previously repaired the seal in 2018 and it failed again coming out of its place between the windshield and the hood. I had no warning as the seal came out of place. I began to hear the plastic gasket slap against the windshield as I drove down the highway. The dealer and manufacturer refused to repair it after inspecting while it was in for service. They indicated it was out of warranty but provided no reason why the gasket failed. My insurance company ultimately made arrangements with a glass shop because the gasket that forms the seal cannot be replaced without replacing the windshield. I had to pay the deductible for the repair to prevent further damage to my windshield and or passenger side window.

I am having issues with my check engine light going in and out. I received the code P0101. But the mechanic checked and said there's nothing wrong with my Mass Air Flow sensor nor trottle body. He said that everything was fine so he reset the car. A few months later the check engine light came back on. Went off a few months later. I have been going through this for a year now. I have also found a forum where several people are having issues with this same code P0101. And their mechanics are giving them the same answers. There needs to be a recall on Nissan Sentras for this reason.

The component that malfunctioned is the gearshift. The vehicle gets stuck in the park position and the gear shift does not want to release the vehicle from this position. My safety is put at risk because of the vehicle malfunction. The dealer was informed of the problem. Last week the service technician said they would service the malfunction. However, they refused to provide the service to the gearshift instead stating the gearshift worked "well". Dealer further stated they would recommend replacing the gear shift if the malfunctioning continued to reoccur. I asked the dealer to replace the gear shift. The dealer refused to service the malfunction. The dealer passed the vehicle through state inspection. There are no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the malfunction occurring. However, the dealer replaced a light bulb during the inspection procedure. The malfunction started to occur in September 2021. The dealer was notified of the malfunction at that time and also refused to service upon notification.

My car started jerking while driving. After driving for a while, it would suddenly go into lymph mode while being operated. This was very unsafe while I was pregnant. I called Nissan and they said I couldn't be helped because I was passed 84,000 miles. However I looked online and it said something totally different. I'm still making payments, and now have to come out of pocket for a transmission

There is clicking noise that is coming from the right rear side when slow down or coming to stop after braking. I purchased the vehicle in February and noticed it then. Was told by Nissan of mobile in mobile al that they could not hear it and everything was fine. I kept telling everytime they service my car that the noise was getting louder. Long story short they told me to go back to Ohio where the car came since it look like the but on aftermarket drum on the car. They did not help me at all. But I seen other complaints online regarding they had to get the C-clip fix and the noise went away.

As I approached a red light my vehicle was stoped, but when the light turned green the vehicle would not move, even after stepping on the gas. It began moving after a couple tries of turning it on and off, but when I was on the highway it would slow down out of no where. This can be very dangerous, due to cars being behind me, and can cause an accident. Not alot of people want to put in the claim, but while doing my research there have been plenty of complaints on different websites. I've only had this car for 3 years. The vehicle would get maintenanced when needed. There needs to be a recall on these transmissions, because there has been faulty transmission for other cvt Nissan.

Brought this 2016 in April of 2020, after I initially drove it, my daughter took over driving it since I'm a disabled veteran. My fiance drove the vehicle in June and realized it was a different feeling with the car. Took it to the shop and they replaced two front tires and perform a tune up. My young daughter pick it from the shop and went off to college in baltimore, Maryland. She returned to palm beach in September.after she got home, the car just cut off in the middle of the road unexpected. My fiance took the car for a drive and notice it doing the same thing. Took it to two shops who informed me two different diagnosis., one being the transmission. They inform me to contact Nissan who in turn told me it was the transmission. We had to take the vehicle to a different location at which time on 9/13/2020, my daughter had a accident due to the fact the car couldn't pick up speed fast enough to merge into the next lane. I'm happy my daughter wasn't hurt but devastated that this car, 4 years old in my possession about 4 months needs a transmission repair. I didn't expect this from a vehicle that I still have 3 years remaining and from Nissan which I thought was a reliable company.

Car feels like the engine starts and stops continuously and very fast when on highway going 60-75 mph, and happens more often with cruise control on. The speedometer bounces around like crazy from zero to bouncing pass my speed I'm driving at. This has been going on since I bought the car to currently. I pull over and let it rest, I didn't see complaints in past about this from others until now, so I thought I now must report as well. I didn't know if it was engine, speedometer, fuel related, gas pedal or what, but now realizing it's engine issues due to a recall notice I got in the mail and a civil lawsuit action is currently in the process.
