Code p2135 keeps showing. Bought a new throttle pedal positioning sensor from nissan, had it installed. After 2 weeks the same problem shows back. The vehicle cuts off while driving, lose power as driving, and sometimes idles high while idling and then cuts off.

Takata recall . I have a complaint on the cvt transmission. My transmission was serviced back in october, not even a year ago and it begin acting up again back in august while driving and i've seen the lawsuits and recalls on it. And nissan would not allow me to stay under the warranty or extend it. So i dont mind pulling in the lemon law firm.

Since my second oil change (vehicle is under 15000 miles currently) the check engine light will randomly come on and then go away. It would not alarm me, but i am hearing the shifting of the power train now more often than before. A clicking as it shifts up and down. The engine is a cvt, but from what other mechanics have told me, this is not how it should sound and should not be how it performs.

Bought 2017 nissan sentra brand new from dealership and was very unfairly overcharged. I was charged $23,014.53 for a car that was only worth $16,000 and has so many issues. Gas tank sometimes will stop at 200 miles and will not fill up, speedometer shoots up and down while driving, speed does not stay at a certain speed and slows down automatically. The engine jerks and sputters while driving on freeways and…

The transmission does not shift properly to 2nd, 4, and 5th gear. I took it to the dealership to get it looked at and the mechanic reported that this problem is common among my vehicle makes. I still don't see a recall for it and he said they won't fix it until then. Can we get this ball rolling please, it's a huge highway safety concern.

Car is dangerously slow to accelerate when attempting to merge onto a freeway or a busy street. Even with flooring the accelerator, vehicle will not move past 40mph for about 5-8 seconds, which in driving, is a large amount of time, especially merging onto the freeway.
