I was driving home from work through a residential area and the vehicle made some grinding noise underneath and died suddenly. It was towed to the mechanic and I was told it will be $4,000 for a new transmission. The car is 3 years old and has 60,873 miles on it. Naturally the warranty expires at 60,000 miles. I still have 3 years of monthly payments left. Naturally, when I google the Nissan Sentra 2016, you can see all the other complaints with their transmission.

The cvt is causing the car to not pickup speed and it's causing a dangerous situation on interstate. I see that this has been a problem before my problem why hasn't a recalled been issued. Also my car is a 2016 Nissan Sentra that I purchased in baton rouge la after the major flood here I hope I wasnt' sold a car that had water damage

My 2016 Nissan Sentra is been unsafe to drive, I was taking my daughter to school when I was trying to hit the gas it jumped up almost hit the front car we were behind. Car doesn't go faster then 10mph. I can't believe being a new car I must pay a lot money to fix transmission. I'm a single mother and need this problem fixed please.I can't pick up my kids from school or pick them up from location I meet ex husband to get them on my days of custody. I need my vehicle fixed please

I purchased this car brand new. After stopping at a stop light or sign, or even just slowing down, it would always delay after stepping on the gas to move from day one. I thought it was normal. After about 30,000 miles, the transmission started to slip on the freeway, especially on hot days. It felt like I was putting the car in neutral while my foot was still on the gas. It may have done that once a day on my way home from work. I decided to take it in a few months later when it would do it several times. I took it to the dealership. They took it on a test drive and it broke down on them. I guess there's a chain in the transmission, but it was in pieces! I had a rebuilt transmission put in, but I am already seeing the symptoms again! I have been taking data ever since and have a page of incidences. I took it back and they said there's nothing wrong. I am less than 3000 miles away from 60,000, which is when the power train warranty will expire. About 10,000 miles ago, I inquired about getting an extended warranty but they refused to sell me one since I drive about 110 miles a day for work. I still owe quite a bit on this pos. I am going to get a lawyer.

My transmission failed on a major highway. I could not accelerate and narrowly avoided a terrible accident. Prior to this incident, the car was making a small kind of clicking/shuddering sound when I would accelerate. I thought it was an issue with the tires. The dealership told me the transmission was failing, but I thought they may have been mistaken because I was having no issues with moving at the time. Now I understand that the dealership knew it was a transmission issue because Nissan is aware of a major defect with their cvt transmissions, but will not order a recall to correct the problem. My children and I could have been killed on the highway that evening; we barely made it off the road. I am terrified to try to drive the car. There is no reason why a car that I purchased brand new should have transmission failure less than two years after I bought it. This issue needs to be corrected immediately before lives are lost. I'm assuming a family will have to die on a highway before this company will correct their flaw.

As I was driving on the highway I felt my car punch, like when it switched gears it kept making a bang noise like if it was punching. As I continued driving the check engine light turned on and I went to a pep boys and a autozone so they could read the code and they both came up with 'P2859'. I called the dealership and told them I would be bringing it in the following day because it was late already. The next day I brought it in to the Nissan dealership and after several hours they called me and told me I would need a new transmission, I asked if they were sure and if a transmission flush would do anything or if there is an extended warranty on it because I only had the car for close to two years. Now I just don't know what to do cause I'm still making payments on the car and the repair bill is alil over $4000.

Car not even 24 hours old, the car would not start with pushing the starter button, the rmp would be at 3 at idleing. March 2019, engine light came on, and went to the dealer. Sensor in fuel pump had to be replaced, few weeks power train problems. In the middle of intersection of route 45 in greys lake, il. The car would not shift out of first gear and almost dies in the middle of intersection. Shut the car off, the car would run normal for awhile, then the shifting gears and bogging would start all over again. A week latter the engine is making a whinning noise.

- Hollywood, FL, USA

Complete transmission failure while driving. Transmission stalled out in the middle of the interstate due to loss of power even with engaged acceleration, transmission jerking and slipping. Feels like it skipping along the street with loss of power.

Transmission is making a whirring noise on acceleration from a green light and is jerking sometimes upon acceleration. Then getting on the interstate it hesitates before it hits 60 mph I bought this car with 45,000 miles and payment. I made a mistake because form other complaints the cvt is has a ton of issues and needs to be recalled.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

The vehicle was repaired by aamco. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

- Forest Park, GA, USA

The transmission needs to be replaced at almost 114K on a 3 year old vehicle. Was told it cant be fixed or sealed because of the cvt technology that prevents repairs. Costs about $4K to replace the transmission. Why can't the transmission be repaired" why isn't the 120K powertrain coverage automatic if you stand behind your product and brand"

- Bowie, MD, USA

Nissan is selling vehicles knowing that transmissions will only last 2 years but overcharging consumers and consumers are stuck with vehicle repairs which is not affordable. No consumer should be charged 22,000 and over for a Nissan Sentra and 2 years later transmission goes out. Something needs to be done because this is a rip-off to consumers. The car has been sounding strange since driving it but all I keep hearing nothing wrong.

We bought a 2016 Nissan Sentra in March of 2018. I took it in complaining of a whining noise a few months after having it and was told because they don't see or feel anything there is nothing to be done. Now in November the cvt transmission needs replaced. It punches when you go to take off, feels like it is losing power when driving on the freeway, difficult accelerating, jerks while driving, shifts on its own from about 1.5 RPM up to 3 while driving on the freeway, and Nissan said it is out of warranty because I am over 60,000 miles (my mileage is at about 64,000 miles). It's going to cost $4500 to replace it according to Nissan. The door handle comes off and it has to be pushed back in, the side view mirrors whistle while driving on the freeway.

- Buckeye, AZ, USA

My vehicle jerks and makes noise when shifting in gears. The transmission slips and car performance is not like it suppose to do. I have read recalls on the Nissan Sentra and my vehicle is experiencing the issues that are found on other vehicles.

- Forest Park, GA, USA

Days before the transmission stopped on me the car would feel like it was changing gears on it's own on the highway, it would shift back and forth really bad and the rpms were going up and down really fast and the car would not accelerate past 40 mph.finally when I tried to go up the street, the car would not move at all, had it towed to the dealership and they said the transmission needs to be replaced for $4500, on a 2 year old car, that's crazy

- Saint Louis, MO, USA

I have a 2016 Nissan Sentra that has cvt transmission that is breaking down after the car is only 2 years old. Car is having trouble shifting, accelerating, and hesitate and loses power when driving on both a city street or highway. This has been a known problem by Nissan from previous models and that go from 2003 to 2010 models where they extended the transmission warranty. I found this out through research and see there are other complaints for late model cars like mine. A transmission should not fail like this on a 2 year old car and I should not have to bear the cost of replacing it at $5,000.

- Emmaus, PA, USA

The transmission shutters and fails to accelerate in traffic. It stopped pulling on a bridge on the interstate this morning on a step incline. The RPM S bounce back and forth. The transmission has now completely failed. The car has a little over 78,000 miles on it and had displaying problems since 62,000 miles, right after the warranty expired.
