The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the transmission would slip or jerk intermittently while driving at various speeds. While depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle lunged before accelerating or occasionally failed to accelerate as intended, causing the contact to restart the vehicle to accelerate as desired. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the vehicle with transmission failure. The dealer had not repaired the vehicle; but referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to inquire about a possible recall.

Going at speeds from 2mph to 70mph+ the transmission seems to be cutting in and out, I have to either lay off the gas or pull over and let It sit for it to stop acting up and it’ll stop for a while and then acts up again. The OEM original CVT shipped with the car has major problems, passenger safety issues, could cause a major accident or death.
The car began to slow down when going up hill about 6 months ago. Brought car to the dealership and they confirmed the transmission needs to be replaced. They are making me pay for it even though Nissan is aware of the problems with this particular transmission.
transmission goes out at 104,139 miles. car jerks and slows down acceleration even after having maintenance done to keep it running
While decelerating on to an exit off-ramp the car started refusing to shift and came to a stop on the side of the expressway. When I tried to pull off the road it said “Transmission Fluid Pressure Low”. At this time I am unsure if it is a sensor or the transmission.
Driving on freeway less than 35 MPH, car made loud noise for 1-2 minutes at same time I felt under floor board something pulling. I tried to slow down, brakes didn't work. I rear ended a car. The car gear shift popped into reverse; I pressed harder on brakes & they finally worked. I noticed a big light on the dashboard saying 'malfunction, check owners manual' there was a gray symbol near these words. Inside the speedometer circle that same symbol appeared in bright yellow. At some point within an hour 2 more yellow symbols appeared on the far left of the dash, a yellow triangle with an explanation point, and a car with 2 curved lines behind the back tires. When the car was returned to the dealership I purchased it from, the staff immediately attempted to blame me for the incident'asking

The car won't start this is my third time raking it in for the brake switch replacement
Intermittent problem with emergency braking system. When obstruction is detected the emergency braking system will override all use of manual braking. The brake pedal will go to the floor without activating any form of brakes for a few seconds and the automatic brakes do nothing. Once while trying to stop on a 55mph highway for a traffic light and once while entering a one lane construction zone on a 70mph interstate. Local Nissan dealer has diagnosed the car as working as intended but I'm sure it's intended for the vehicle to stop.
The Automatic Emergency Braking does not operate as it was designed to. My vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My and my families safety was put at risk because the AEB failed to engage as it should have. We didn't have an accident, but came very close to it. This has happened before, and every time the vehicle fails to automatically brake. I have complained about and had the vehicle inspected for this issue several times by the dealer, during AND after the manufacturers warranty expired. Every time I'm told it's operating as expected....it is not! I hear warning beeps, often when someone is turning in front of me and I'm not even close to them, but it never attempts to brake. I never heard it beep when getting close enough to a vehicle directly in front of me to make it acti
while i was driving, the front collision warning and emergency brake went off out of nowhere when there was no cars in front of me as the street was empty.

The radio will randomly come on for a second when the car is off. I have went out to get something out of the trunk & this has happened & I have also went out to leave & when I walk outside the radio in the car is playing when the car has not been driven since the prior day. I am concerned about this issue draining the car battery. This is random & has happened more than a dozen times.
My battery positive terminal keeps getting corroded and the lights turn on and off from inside and outside like if their turning on and off
I purchase 2019 Nissan sentra on 11/6/2019 with 15 miles at Nissan of muskogee. Since purchase the automatic emergency braking (aeb) system deactivates and shows a warning on the dashboard 'front radar unavailable due to obstruction.' a crash icon also on dashboard at all times. No cruise control. The car is out of balance. The sensor comes on at all time wether or not there are other vehicle near the car. The dealership and service department alleges that I am the only one with this problem and the parts not available. I brought it in to service. The dealership service barely look at the car nor check codes. The balance is worse. This is cause by a faulty defective radar sensor in the front grill. Service is now waiting for parts that Nissan can't get anywhere.
2019 NISSAN SENTRA Automatic Emergency Braking system suddenly brakes w/o warning while cars are present or not, sensor light comes on and car will stall or abruptly/automatically stop itself. Malfunction light comes on states malfunction look in owners manual. While driving car automatically stopped at a light or in traffic and would not move forward the malfunction light came on. This has been occurring 2 days after purchase (11-6- 2021- 12-7-2021) until recent. 12-7-21 the car stopped itself at a red light (I was the first vehicle in line no one in front of me or to my sides) on green as I tried to press on the gas the car stalled, the back windows rolled up and down, the radio went on and off, and the malfunction light for AEB flashed then the car locked, then solid engine light came

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report an ongoing and serious issue regarding the transmission in my Nissan vehicle and to request assistance from Nissan North America. This is my third Nissan Sentra Sport, and unfortunately, I have experienced the same transmission failure in all three vehicles, each occurring before the vehicle reached 100,000 miles. In the two previous vehicles, I replaced the transmission, only to have the same problem occur again. At this time, I am having the same transmission issue with my current vehicle, which I purchased in 2022. I recently took the car to an authorized Nissan dealer for routine maintenance. However, the mechanic informed me that they were unable to flush the transmission and advised against it, stating that they could not guaran
I got this car from Rocky Mount dealership in 2020, I mentioned less than 30 days it drove funny, then less than 6 months the car had recall, which with everything going on in the pandemic it took a while to get the piece for the recall…again which i reported that the car drove funny less than 5 days of my purchase. Nothing… When the car was service for the recall, i mentioned it drove funny but no lights were on and nothing could be determined due to the recall fixed. Fast forward to now 4 years later the car shakes, jerks, slow to accelerate and the RPM is jumpy. As well as when you switch gears as I’m looking at 3-5k to get this fixed.
