Sentra SV 1.8L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,800 miles

I just got this car, I like the design, and the features, and it is a good deal. Unfortunately I am noticing that there was a vibrating noise when I accelerate on the highway and the car vibrates a bit, from under the hood. It happens around 20-40 MPH range, especially 1-2nd gear. It is super irritating, it's a crunchy/grinding/vibrating noise. I don't know if this car is a piece of crap or what, it doesn't even have 2000 miles on it, is barely two months old, and I got it brand new. It's not the first time I had this problem, the noise is coming from the middle area of the front, by the gear shifter, it comes from under the hood. It happens when I step on the gas, and then stops when I take my foot off the gas. I already had it fixed for having the SAME problem on the left side of the car. Dealer told me it's a manufacturing defect. Well seems like there's more than one "manufacturing defect" here.

Sentra SV 1.8L

  • CVT transmission
  • 4,595 miles

Since the first week I purchased my new 2016 Sentra it has made a vibration noise when car starts to accelerate from stopped position and when I increase my speed. It also makes this noise when driving on highway. It has increased with frequency over the last few months and became annoying and worrisome since this is a new vehicle which I have 5.5 years left of payments. I will be taking this to the dealership next week and see if they can find out what is going on.
