Description of the problem | While traveling on the interstate during morning rush hour, my 2013 nissan sentra started shaking and vibrating. The engine began making sounds, and since i was in stop-and-go traffic, i noticed that when i stepped on the brakes or tried to accelerate, the vehicle wouldn't respond. The rpm meter was jumping all over the place. When i tried to accelerate, my car wouldn't move, and then would jerk forward suddenly. This all made driving on the highway very scary, especially since the problems came about suddenly. I would have to keep an overcautious distance from other vehicles because i wasn't sure when my car would decide to stop or speed up. All of this was happening and the check engine light never came on. The transmission has had a recall before, and i have seen hundreds of consumer reports of others with the same complaint. My vehicle is only 3 years old, i am the first owner, and i have kept up with all service requirements. Call the dealership and was told the transmission needs to be replace, that this cars continuing to have this issue since the begining of the cvt transmission on the sentras i think nissan needs to take responsibility for putting cars with unsafe transmissions on the road, my family own many nissan vehicles and they are good products with some exceptions |
