Transmission makes loud noise, dealer says it requires replacement. Vehicule has 61,000 miles. It is standard. It starts esporadically in movement but continues when stopped. Then goes away and comes back. Sounds like a can of crackers

Takata recall. My car started to vibrate between shifting gears when accelerating from a stand atill. This happened when my car had about 89,000 miles. Took it in the dealership and they diagnosed the issue to be the transmission. My car is still at the dealership. Upon further research i found that nissan sentra cvt transmission is a common problem.

While driving on the highway my car would not not go into third gear. The car started jerking and i had lost all acceleration power. I was not sure what was going on because no lights turned on letting me know what was going on. Had to get towed and was told that my transmission went out. There were no warnings or anything about the transmission going out. Nissan really screwed people on this

My 2014 nissan sentra started to experience sudden shaking and issues with rpm's, it wont change gears and acceleration problems. Especially when im at a stoplight, it won't accelerate properly. It makes a wirey sound and it only has 33,000 miles on it. I can barely go past 60 mph and it is a huge safety issue. I researched the problem and came across many others complaining about the same issues.

Our cvt transmission just let go on a 2014 sentra sr with 89,000. It was slipping, bucking and stalling the car. Towed it to the dealer said the cost would be $2200 to replace the valve body and a exhaust timing solenoid. If that didn't fix it, (i would have to pay $2200) it would need a new transmission which would cost about $4300. I called nissan corporate but they were of no help. They said it is out of…

Sensor/warning/check engine lights appear to not work. I was driving on the freeway when my vehicle started to shift erratically, the car would then barely move when pressing gas. After trying to accelerate more, the vehicle did not move at all. When the vehicle was taken to the dealership there were no warning lights such as a check engine light at all which made me believe there was nothing serious wrong with the…

Vehicle was in motion and then suddenly as i turned out into the middle of the street it would not move! I had to push the gas pedal all the way to the floor just to avoid being hit by oncoming traffic. I took car to dealership and transmission is going out. I have only had car for two years.
