Got my oil changed, car only at 75,000 miles and 1 year old. The acceleration of my car just stopped while i was driving up a hill, the engine shaking uncontrollably. Shortly after had it towed, and now it won't accelerate at all. Cvt transmission completely went out.

On 7/30/2018 i was driving, when i came to a stop my 2014 nissan sentra sr with 54,000 miles on it stalled. I thought it may be a fluke, but kept happening. This only happened when in gear and at a complete stop. If i was in park or neutral it would not stall. Took it to the dealership that day. Found out on 8/01/2018 that the torque convertor is bad and they are replacing the transmission.

I ended up pulling into a shopping center where my car was still in drive but would not move when i put my…

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,…
