The transmission had a catastrophic transmission failure after 25 months of ownership and 82,000 miles. Car is undriveable. My tow truck driver said he sees this all the time with nissan's cvt transmission failures. Nissan declined to provide assistance with the cost of repairs because my car was 22,000 miles past the limited powertrain warranty, and because this year sentra is not part of any current transmission…

My transmission has gone out twice since i purchased this vehicle in june 2015. In october 2015, my car wouldn't accelerate. I took it to the local nissan dealership in which they told me that it was electrical wiring from my tail lights to my brake. 3 months later, my car has the same symptoms. I take it to the local dealership again and they tell me that it's the transmission and eventually, after several weeks of…

I am part of a b17 sentra (2013-2015) owners page. The amount of people who need replacement cvt is outrageous. Examples include one needing replacement at 9k miles, and a second at 24k miles. Another example is one owner needed one at 28k miles and another at 52k miles. The failure percentage is out of control and nissan does nothing to rectify it past the short warranty. These issues should not be this prevalent…

In addition,…

With no event associated, my transmission began to shutter and rattle when i slowed to a near stop, then accelerated. I took it to the dealership when it was still under warranty and asked to have a technician take a ride with me to hear the noise and feel the rattle. The transmission rattled four times as we circled the block. His answer was "that is nothing, some times that happens when the road is wet." i told…

My daughter parked on a slightly inclining driveway and was exiting the vehicle. She heard a grinding noise and the car started rolling backwards. She jumped back in the seat and attempted to stop the car but states " the brakes wouldn't work". The car was off and the keys were in her hand. The car rolled almost 100 feet before her still-open driver's door hit a parked suv which stopped the car before it rolled out…

Transmission is not changing the gears correctly . When driving on a city street or highways and pulling off from a complete stop the vehicle drives off as if it is pulling a load and then when it should be changing in the 2nd or 3rd gear it starts to slip out of gear as if it is going in neutral and then you feel roughness in the changing of gears.
