Problems with the Electrical System
With today’s modern systems, cars rely on the electrical system more than ever. Yet, Sentra owners continually find themselves at the shop for electrical problems.
Here’s one such complaint left on the Edmunds website. “I have a 2019 Nissan Sentra SV. I’ve only had the car for a week I’ve already had major problems. Car battery has died 2x, the car is not recognizing the key fob, power steering sensors light on , front radar crash detector light on.”
The issues get even larger when recalls get involved. Nissan issued NHTSA Campaign Number 19V654000, which affects over a million vehicles. This recall states that the back-up camera display isn’t functioning properly, further putting people in danger. I guess the automaker figures drivers can “rock every city block” without going in reverse.
Here are some actual complaints logged with the NHTSA about the 2019 Nissan Sentra Electrical Problems:
EVERY TIME I DRIVE ABOUT 4 MILES THE FRONT RADAR SENSOR GETS DISABLED AND DISPLAYS A WARNING, THIS DISABLED THE CRUISE AND TURNS OF AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE WITH, I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND ITS STILL HAPPENING, THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THEY FIXED IT BUT DID NOT
Problems with the Visibility
While looking at the rear visibility, it becomes evident that there are also issues with the forward view.
Another Edmunds user says, “The matte-chrome accents on the vents and ultra-illuminated dash board reflect off the drivers windows and side mirror so much that it obstructs my view. It’s similar to a mirror reflection- and yes, I’ve dimmed the dash lights too. I’ve had to drive with the window DOWN in the RAIN in order to see on the highway when switching lanes.”
The company hasn’t discussed any efforts to correct the poor visibility. At this time, there are no instructions to technicians, nor any plans to create a new design. Basically, Sentra drivers are operating blind, whether they are moving in the forward or reverse position.
Problems with the CVT Transmission
Without visibility, one would hope that the vehicle at least moves as it should, but that’s not the case either. The Sentra suffers from serious transmission concerns.
Here is one NHTSA complaint. “I was coasting towards the traffic light wanting to make a left hand turn when the light turned yellow and I was already past the point where I could back up. I had to hit the gas pedal to make the turn in a quick fashion and beat the oncoming traffic. The car just puttered along and I almost got hit by the oncoming traffic. It seems like the CVT transmission gets disengaged when the car is coasting at low speeds (5-10 mpg) and there is a loss of power to the wheels when I hit the gas pedal again. RPM is 3000 and the car still doesn’t move quickly enough to get out of that dangerous situation. The reason I believe that the transmission is the culprit is because when I stop at a light or stop sign and I barely come to a stop and I hit the gas pedal again, it makes a jerking motion, like the transmission didn’t downshift to 1st like it is supposed to. It gets stuck in the high gear and when I hit the gas pedal it downshifts hard. I have to stop a few feet away from the light and then release the brake a little in order for it to downshift to 1st.”
It turns out that Nissan knows this transmission is a piece of junk. Even Service Bulletin #NTB19-068a talks about how the vehicle might exhibit a lack of power and noticeable hesitation with the MIL illuminated. This problem will also set DTC P0868. Yet, owners are currently stuck in intersections around the country, hoping that their little car would go.
Here are some actual complaints logged with the NHTSA about the 2019 Nissan Sentra Transmission Problems:
THIS CAR MAKES ME LOOK LIKE I DRIVE LIKE AN OLD LADY, PEOPLE ARE GETTING UPSET, AS IT HAS NO PICK UP POWER AT ALL EVEN THOUGH THE RPM IS PAST 3000. THERE IS JUST NO WAY OUT OF A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE REASON I THINK IT IS THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS BECAUSE WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD IT LOSSES POWER, LIKE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING.
Problems with the Brakes
The Sentra is a lower-cost car, but it still should come with a reliable engine. Sadly, that’s not the case.
For an example, check out this statement on Edmunds. “I was driving a 2018 Sentra with 18,190 miles on it when this happened. I was driving on the downtown main street going at 10~20mph with frequent stops due to heavy traffic. The engine decided to shut down while I’m still driving, of which I’m so glad of the speed I was driving at that time, otherwise, it would be a lot worse than just honk from the cars behind, I could be in a fatal accident. Having to rush to the court, I had to drive an hour to the court with this known issue with lots of anxiety. I got the car exchanged at the rental car company after attending the court and was talking to an old lady who had five Sentra in her life. She was complaining about newer Sentra (after 2012 or so), she also mentioned her daughter’s Sentra wheel was locked while driving on the freeway and had to spend three thousand dollars to fix it. I am seriously playing safe to avoid Sentra at all costs.”
For once, Nissan has talked about some of the issues plaguing this engine. Service Bulletin #NTB17-082b says that there could be an evaporator leak at the vent control valve O-ring on some engines. While it’s nice to see the company take responsibility for something, it would be far better if the automaker made a better car, which kept the occupants protected and safe. After all, the only “new direction” this car is worthy of is a trip to the junkyard.
Here are some actual complaints logged with the NHTSA about the 2019 Nissan Sentra Brake Problems:
FAULTY RADAR ON FRONT OF MY CAR CAUSED SPEED CONTROL AND EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION WHILE IN MOTION. THIS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY SINCE NEW AND THEN CONSTANTLY FOR LAST 3 MONTHS. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR IN FOR TROUBLESHOOTING LAST WEEK AND THE RADAR UNIT ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS REPLACED. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM BUT IT SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO SOMEONES ATTENTION BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY HAZARDS INVOLVED.

| Description | I went to work and while driving I noticed a light come on. When I looked it up it said safety light and to clean my cameras for possible dirt. I got to work and turned car off. When I went to leave for a meeting 1 hour later the car would not start. All the lights were working and the radio came on. I tried to start it again and the break got hard and it still wouldn't start. I tried to jumpstart it and it tried to come on but made a noise and wouldn't come on. I waited a while tried jumping it again and it started. The safety light went off and never came back on. I had my battery replaced in september 2022 so I left to go get it checked and it was good I also checked alternator and it was good. I went home and left a few times with no problem then the next morning it happened again. I had to jump it to start and took it to an auto shop. They couldn't find anything in the diagnostic test but replaced starter to see if that was it. I drove home and 2 hours later tried to leave and the car wouldn't start. I went back the next day to the shop and they couldn't find anything and changed battery to key fobe. The car started for the rest of the day. I went to work the next morning with no problem then when I tried to leave for lunch it wouldn't start. I went back to shop throwing a fit and they kindly refunded me back my money and told me to go to a nissan dealership because of a recall they looked up that could be the problem and it should be repaired for free. |

| Description | To be brief, I had a nissan sentra 2019 leased car from 10/19 to present. About 1 year during its lease (3 year), I noticed that the instrument clock freezes and the other clock on the radio panel/screen does not. I have contacted nissan company and the dealership that I leased the auto from. No help at all. I have 6 different videos of this situation on my cell phone. The main reason I am contacting this federal agency is that the last time it happened (01/23), I the control instruments on the steering wheel did not function at all. I will admit I never tried to use the various controls when the clock froze in the past 2 years until by chance I did this past month. This may also involve even the car horn (all in the same area). Thus, all I have been asking is to have av control ( or whatever else) replaced. However, it is a safety problem if it also affects, controls on steering wheel area (cruise control, instrument panel , radio , horn etc.) once car is turned off the system reboots and even thing works, it does not matter about the temperature, speed, time duration of travel, day or night. I know there have been problems with this model as stated on google. As one can see when the instrument displays are not working there can and will be problems including safety. Note: I have contacted nissan customer service dept. After many calls, nissan did send me an extended warranty for the electical. Problem is the company does not honor the warranty. So what good is any warranty if it is never honored! |

| Description | •my 2019 nissan sentra is seeming to have transmission issues that must be a result of a defect given the year that the vehicle was manufactured. When inspected by firestone they explained that the vehicle was having issues shifting into 3rd gear. This can be further inspected. • I have been experiencing sudden spurts of malfunction during regular drives for the previous 2 weeks where the vehicle suddenly felt as it was at a loss of acceleration power, the final straw was when driving up on a slight incline, my vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating and proceeded to roll backwards down the hill when I desperately pressed the brakes to stop the vehicle from rolling back on to another vehicle. • this issue has not been acknowledged by my dealer, however I received a legal notice from nissan cvt litigation settlement administrator (nam) regarding lawsuit against nissan for defective transmissions equipped to 2018-2019 nissan sentra. •vehicle was inspected by firestone. •I received warning lamps or indications of issues. |

| Description | Automatic "emergency" braking system: I was driving my 2019 nissan sentra home a few weeks ago on a 2 lane street going about 35 mph, when suddenly and without warning, with no obstructions/cars in front of or in back of me luckily, my automatic emergency braking system engaged throwing me forward in my car seat even though I was wearing my seat belt and bringing the car practically immediately to a complete stop in the middle of the road and scaring the living daylights out of me! After this I could not drive the car home because I was to scared so I called for help to come get me. Ever since I have been deathly afraid to drive my car. I am lucky I was not in an accident! I have noticed this is a known and reported issue across the internet with this nissan "safety" system on many of their cars as well as some lawsuits against them for similar incidents. I cannot understand why such a serious and potentially dangerous issue has been left unchecked and unresolved by nissan or anyone for that matter! This issue is a serious danger for both the driver and passengers of cars with this problem as well as other drivers on the road! I am lucky no one was behind me and my kids weren't in the car! Calling the nissan dealership I found that they want around 150 dollars just to diagnose problem! And if its any of the sensors malfunctioning/needing replacing that its around 750 dollars for one sensor! Not including whatever else the defective issue could be. I am not the original owner of this car, I bought it used, I was told by dealership and informed on car-fax that it was never in an accident. So far the problem has not been able to be reproduced, it is an defect/malfunction/issue, that happens unexpectedly when it wants to. Warning lamps activated: front crash warning light which will not go off and I can find no way to reset. I asked dealer to reset it but instead they insisted I pay 150 dollars for a diagnostic I could not afford. |

| Description | At 65mph, I hit a tiny bump. The automatic braking system and collision detection warnings triggered and I lost all acceleration ability. I was nearly hit by a semi while coasting off the freeway in traffic. When inspected by nissan the first time it happened (9/20/2021), the lights turned off and the computer reset. They did a warranty recall for something unrelated and told me they fixed it. On 5/13/2022 it did it again, and on 5/30 I was told it would not be covered under any warranty - all diagnosis and repair would be my own cost. A sensor should never take control of the car away from the driver. The only way to regain acceleration is to turn the car off. Wait. Turn it on. Wait. Use the menu, turn off automatic emergency braking, drive. |

The issues my cvt has caused is extremely unsafe an dangerous to myself an my family an other drivers. My nissian would fail to accelerate almost causing me to be sideswiped on multiple!!! Occasions , these vehicles had to swerve around me because my vechile would simply not go. There's been too many close calls regarding my vechiles an the dangerous situations it's out myself an other drivers on the road in. Numerous occasions has it failed to accelerate properly , numerous occasions the vechile wasn't switching gears properly causing late reactions in the vechile an a. Increased risk for accidents . Numerous occasions has my vechile decide to accelerate when I wasnt pressing the gas for it to do so , causing me to break or break hard at times I shouldn't of . Numerous occasions has my vechile literally decide it wasn't going to drive forward anymore an I would have to get out of traffic on highway an turn the vechile off an turn it back on for it to act properly.. This vechile has caused to many potential accidents .. I would hate for someone to actually get hurt for nissian to actually care about their customers. Nissian stated they basically didn't care an I would have to pay out if pocket for expenses regardless of how new or how low the milage on my vechile was.. |

| Description | Unbeknownst to me, the stop lamp switch recall also effects the vehicle starting. I learned that they were related after I reached out to nissan regarding my vehicle not starting, it first happened on new years eve. This has now happened 2-3x a week. In addition to this issue, I've experienced issues with the cvt, and possibly the engine. One evening I was heading home after work, I got onto the on ramp, and attempted to accelerate to merge onto I-84. The vehicle would not accelerate beyond 45, the engine would rev extremely high, and not go any faster. I pulled onto the shoulder as best and quickly as I could. I turned the car off then back on, attempted to merge onto I-84, and had to get onto the shoulder again because I wasn't able to go faster than 45mph. Both times I was almost sideswiped by an 18 wheeler on the driver side, had that happened I'd have lost my life. I sat there very frustrated, and in shock. After a few minutes of having no traffic, I drove home at 45mph. I've reached out to nissan regarding the aforementioned issues, asking if they'd buy the vehicle back for what I owe on it. I received a letter from nissan consumer affairs basically refusing to buy the car back. It's exasperating owning a 2019 with 15,100 miles, and experiencing these issues. I'm by no means the type of person that feels a brand new vehicle is more reliable than an older one. I'm the type of person that likes knowing I can rely on my car. My mothers' 2003 outback with over 230k has been far more reliable than my sentra. Knowing that there's no remedy to repair the stop lamp recall is frustrating, that means that each time I go to start my car it may not start, on days that it hasn't, I've spent 10 minutes trying trying to get it to start. These issues are exasperating, and nissan basically saying I'm sol, isn't acceptable. |

This has been occurring 2 days after purchase (11-6- 2021- 12-7-2021) until recent. 12-7-21 the car stopped itself at a red light (I was the first vehicle in line no one in front of me or to my sides) on green as I tried to press on the gas the car stalled, the back windows rolled up and down, the radio went on and off, and the malfunction light for aeb flashed then the car locked, then solid engine light came on, @ first I could not get my hazard lights on then suddenly they worked.

After that happen, the alert aeb light popped up and it's still on. Nothing was broken on the veh. As a matter of fact, there is no damage or nothing to the veh. Just that nick. Bought the car brand new with about 20 miles on it. This happen about two months after. Took it to the dealer where I bought it and told me they don't cover it. It would cost me 00 dollars out of my pocket to fix it. Also, there was no other vehicles involved for that matter. So, what is the use of buying the extended warranty if when the time comes to use it, it's not covered? |

I have video of it when the cruise control was being used and the rpms surged and fell back. The fuel efficiency screen also shows a decrease in efficiency when the rpms go up. Have also had a loss of power when trying to pass and tried to increased speed - yet the engine surged/faltered. It happens every time I exceed 70 mph. I picked the date when I have video of this occurring. However, it happens whenever I exceed 70mph. |

| Description | Transmission shudders and loses power when needing to quickly accelerate. Nissan has paid me an inconvienece fee because all of their 2019 nissan sentra sr models experience the same issue. This is extremely dangerous! When needing to get out of a situation quickly, the vehicle shudders and hesitates before catching a gear. This has happened to me in an intersection. Someone ran a redlight and I need to move quickly to avoid an accident. The vehicle sputtered and when it caught it's gear, almost lurched me into oncoming traffic. Nissan has placed 7 transmissions in my car and all are the same. I never took their replacement car because when I drove two other of the same models of my car. They did the same thing! Nissan needs to be held accountable and find a way to fix the transmission so it does not do this shudder anymore. I've seen many consumer reviews that state the same problem. I feel this is widespread enough and a big enough safety defect that nissan needs to fix before it kills someone because they can move out of the way in time. |

I can call them back if these things happen, but unless or until they do, I should just drive it "at my discretion." I love my car and it has less than 4,000 miles on it.

| Description | Even a small bump in the road (not even a big speed bump) sometimes causes the front bumper to rise and strike the bracket holding the forward collision warning sensor. That throws the sensor out of calibration and makes it unreliable. The tech at auto nation collision in las vegas told me this is a common problem. He said the bumper and the bottom of the bracket are too close together so the bracket gets hit often and damages the sensor. This is a safety issue. You think you have a collision waring system but you don't or the sensor reports a collision when none has happened. |

Real lights not lighting up at all. Seems to be a reoccurring thing for sentras. This is a safety issue and potential lawsuit due to the car turning off on the road. |

| Description | Intermittent problem with emergency braking system. When obstruction is detected the emergency braking system will override all use of manual braking. The brake pedal will go to the floor without activating any form of brakes for a few seconds and the automatic brakes do nothing. Once while trying to stop on a 55mph highway for a traffic light and once while entering a one lane construction zone on a 70mph interstate. Local nissan dealer has diagnosed the car as working as intended but I'm sure it's intended for the vehicle to stop. |

| Description | My car frequently chimes with the forward collision warning / emergency brake assist as though there is a chance of a collision. When it does this, there is absolutely nothing in front of my car! When leaving work 2 days ago, I started to cross a little bump in the road that I cross daily with no issues; this particular instance however, my car decided that it was an apparent collision because my car came to a dead stop from about 15-20 miles per hour. Fortunately my husband and I were both wearing our seatbelts, and no one was behind us as it would have certainly caused an accident. The sensor/radar for the forward collision/emergency brake assist is a hazard in my opinion. The concept is fantastic, but if it's not going to work properly, then it needs to be removed from vehicles, or at least be able to be disabled indefinitely, not just while you're operating the vehicle only to have to remember to disable the function next time you're driving. |

| Description | The cruise control switch releases brake switch which sometimes malfunctions and does not allow the car to start because it does not sense the brake being pushed. There is no manual work around. It has happened sporadically but recently would not start for three days. I had to take the brake switch apart and clean the inside of excess silicone that gets dirt in it and keeps the contact metal from sensing the brake being pushed. This is extremely dangerous and also keeps the brake lights from working.*dt*jb |

| Description | I just bought my 2019 sentra 4/20/2020. I was driving on the freeway from los angeles to san diego & I felt like my car was pulling back, the gas was draining so fast, the rpm was going back and fourth, the mph wasn't accurate with what I felt I was actually driving, if I drive over 40mph the car will wobble, not accelerating correctly, I got a full diagnostic done no codes showed up, nissan said I needed to reset the system, so they reset it, the acceleration still won't pick up, and I feel the front of the car dropped! Nissan service department says the diagnosis isn't showing any codes and they are not sure what is going on I'm afraid I will lose control of the vehicle if it's shaking side to side, I'm afraid it will stop accelerating randomly, transmission will go out while I'm on the highway & nissan still can't find the reason to why the car is doing that. They have no answers and this can cause serious injuries to myself or other drivers even passengers. My nissan is losing power, not accelerating correctly, I'm losing gas fast, and nissan can't find any code or anything wrong with the car ! |

| Description | Hello my name is [xxx] . I have a story I would like ran. On jan. 23, 2020 I bought a brand new nissan sentra. The car cost over 18,000 dollars. It had 24 miles on it when I pulled off the lot. On the morning of feb. 15, 2020 at less than a month of ownership my teen daughter's and I was heading into town for breakfast. We were running down the highway at 55 mph when the curtain airbags deployed at random. No wreck or accident of any kind. My left ear drum was busted and my daughter was massively bruised. I took the car back to the dealership and they issued a rental. 5 days later they called and told me the rental had to be returned and nissan was not going to give any financial assistance of any kind. I called consumer affairs to see why the rental was being taken back. I was informed rudely that they would not be helping in any way and airbags were a complex machine that did not deploy without cause. And then went on to accuse me of fraud. The car finally got inspected at nissan of cookeville by a consumer inspector who stood with me and confirmed that the car was not wrecked and the malfunction was not my fault. I just today heard back from consumer affairs today for them to tell me that nissan would not be helping me in any way. And velocity had something to do with the random deploy and that's what airbags are supposed to do. So he literally told me that airbags are supposed to deploy sometimes without any collision. They have forced me to drive this car for a month and a half with my view obstructed and seatbelts not working with my children and now tells me they will not stand behind their vehicles malfunction and it is on me to deal with. They will also tell you they have never had trouble with airbags but there has been a huge recall about unsafe deploying airbags for a lot of nissan vehicles. Please help me. *tr*dt*jb*dt consumer stated manufacture and dealer has been contacted but vehicle has not been repaired.*jb |

They claimed to dismantled the radio to avoid the battery from running down but its still doing the same thing. Also it was stated I could to continue driving until they call it in for repairs and stated that they couldn't give me a time frame when it will be fixed.

| Description | Driving on freeway less than 35 mph, car made loud noise for 1-2 minutes at same time I felt under floor board something pulling. I tried to slow down, brakes didn't work. I rear ended a car. The car gear shift popped into reverse; I pressed harder on brakes & they finally worked. I noticed a big light on the dashboard saying 'malfunction, check owners manual' there was a gray symbol near these words. Inside the speedometer circle that same symbol appeared in bright yellow. At some point within an hour 2 more yellow symbols appeared on the far left of the dash, a yellow triangle with an explanation point, and a car with 2 curved lines behind the back tires. When the car was returned to the dealership I purchased it from, the staff immediately attempted to blame me for the incident'asking why didn't I bring the car in for service? And that I have to get a rental car and my car repair through my insurance company. He pushed the idea of getting the car repaired. I stated I just barely got the car 3-4 weeks ago brand new. I left the car to be checked by service department. The next day the service manager denied any malfunction saying there wasn't any current codes just past codes; I asked what that meant he said a brake sensor and some other data I didn't comprehend. He said get my insurance to fix the car. I said no sir, I want more information on why the car malfunction first. Once I explain to him again what happened he said he would have his forman check out this car the next morning; however less than an hour the service manager me back to say he talked to a field tech engineer and was advised that I had a right to call nissan corp to make a report. I went by srvc dpt to get something, they tried to get to take/repair my car. I didn't. Once I spoke to nissan corp they said it take 6-8 weeks for investigation etc to be completed and for me not to get car repaired. |

Not even a month of having my car back it does it again on 7/23/19 my service advisor was told the car might need a harness and I called 7/27/19 my service advisor was not in and they told me I could pick my car up they couldn't get it to do it for them.

| Description | I was trying to merge into the highway traffice and I pressed on the gas pedal to pick up speed, but the car just puttered along with the rpm at around 3000 - 6000 and I almost got rear-ended by a van who got really close to the rear-end of my car. The gentleman in the van was clearly upset and I know it was my fault because my car did not want to pick up speed. I have owned about 80 cars in my life and I have never had this problem; I know how to merge into traffic very well, I have been driving for 40 years without any accidents or tickets. I took the car to charlie clark nissan dealership where I bought the car and they said there is nothing wrong with the transmission. This car makes me look like I drive like an old lady, people are getting upset, as it has no pick up power at all even though the rpm is past 3000. There is just no way out of a potential dangerous situation. The reason I think it is the transmission problem is because when shifting from 2nd to 3rd it losses power, like when the transmission is slipping. |

| Description | I was coasting towards the traffic light wanting to make a left hand turn when the light turned yellow and I was already past the point where I could back up. I had to hit the gas pedal to make the turn in a quick fashion and beat the oncoming traffic. The car just puttered along and I almost got hit by the oncoming traffic. It seems like the cvt transmission gets disengaged when the car is coasting at low speeds (5-10 mph) and there is a loss of power to the wheels when I hit the gas pedal again. Rpm is 3000 and the car still doesn't move quickly enough to get out of that dangerous situation. The reason I believe that the transmission is the culprit is because when I stop at a light or stop sign and I barely come to a stop and I hit the gas pedal again, it makes a jerking motion, like the transmission didn't downshift to 1st like it is suppose to, it gets stuck in the high gear and when I hit the gas pedal it downshifts hard. I have to stop a few feet away from the light and then release the brake a little in order for it to downshift to 1st. |

I have a 2019 sv sentra,it has failed to spin over several times.have replaced battery an ends.no help..also from stop light it feels as if it has to downshift to take off then at about 25mph it real sluggest shift ..my 2016 sv works flawlessly
I bought my 2019 2 years ago at 50k miles Nissan had to change transmission then at 68k miles goes out again and Nissan is refusing to fix they are trying to charge me 5k for a transmission
I as well own a 2019 Nissan Sentra SV and have the same “slipping” RPM issue as stated many times above. Merchants Auto, where I purchased it said there is nothing they can do other than let me trade the car in for a different car, paying another down payment and hassle of finding someone to finance me with unfavorable credit! It’s so hard! I will have had the car for a year next month. Just had to replace most of the muffler for 700 because the baffles came loose and we’re rattling around the muffler. NISSAN SHOULD BE SUED!!!
I currently have a 2019 Nissan Sentra and weeks after purchasing it I started to feel the Rmp go from 1-4 it would skip 2 and 3 .
I asked Nissan to help me with this issue and all they said was they can’t do anything Bc there’s no codes .
I decided to replace my spark plugs and Cvt sensor with my family mechanic and added fuel injector cleaner and it seemed to help but now after a few weeks later it starts to feel the same way .
My 2019 Nissan sentry will not start. Pressing the brake Pedal down the engine will not turn over. This will be at less the fourth time taking it in. Has any other owner had this problem.
When driving on the highway my car will automatically start revving and the Rpms go up without the car moving faster. I brought it in to be serviced and they reset it they said. It worked for a little while but a few months later, I’m having the same problem.
I’ve taken my car in at least 5 times for problems with my sensors. Four of them they supposedly replaced. Also four times for transmission issues and a screeching sound that only does it when in drive idling with foot on the brake pedal. Not while driving or in park. I have lots of video of this sound and while doing 75-80 while in cruise control my rpms go haywire and starting jumping up to the 5-6 rpms. I’ve brought my car in for the first time at 9 months old and treated like a stupid female. Told you can’t feel a cvt transmission shift. I went through putting three transmissions in my 2012 fusion. I know when my freaking transmission is slipping. And when I’m at a stop and I go to turn it feels like what happens when your riding a bike and hit the brake and it skids or drifts for a second. That’s what it feels like when I take off from a light. I keep bringing my car for the same problems and this last time they even charged me for the rental because they said they couldn’t duplicate the problem. And as soon as I leave it’s doing it again. I started bringing it in long before the 36000 part of my warranty was up. I have 45000 miles and it’s still not fixed and now I’m being told that they will charge me a diagnostic fee. This is BS. I originally bought a used Kia from Nissan and was toying with buying a brand new one. They couldn’t get the numbers right in the dealing. I found it really odd. Spent two days on the phone with the bank I financed this car with. Come to find that the contract I signed and had showed the 4000 I put down on the Kia. And the copy Nissan submitted to the bank said I put down 2500. I have both copies proving they pocketed 1500 of my down payment. I should have never bought this 2019 Nissan Sentra SR. I should have sued for fraud instead. Now I can’t even get them to fix this crap and my warranty for the transmission is still active. Plz help me!
Had cvt issues about a month after buying. In 12 months my car cut off a total of three times…the third time actually being the time it won’t cut back on. Nissan won’t offer any help. I have a 3 year warranty and I hate this car.
