2019 NISSAN SENTRA Power Train Problems

My car just started to have transmission problems. It started to forced especially on hills and the transmission started to force itself and the at 115000 miles the transmission stopped working since it gave us the P 2767. It is just absolutely ridiculous that a new car would not last more than 4 to 5 years without having to replace a vital part of the vehicle. It’s just a shame to find out that issues like this happen to a lot of people with the same type of car as mine and that this issue the manufacturers can’t take responsibility and do the right thing and address this issue . We made an effort to get a new car thinking that it would give us a pease of mind for at least 10 years since it was not a pocket change price tag. We believed it was an investment or reassurance of not having issues since it was a brand new car.

No warner went out to head to work. Car moved very rough. Stopped parked car. Had car towed to a mechanic to be told Transmission was shot. 102,000 miles

Mounting bracket on trainy broke

UNKNOWN....transmission issue/failure under 100,000 miles. Recalls on previous models in 2013-2017. Transmission failed in my 2019 with under 100,000 miles.

Just had transmission fluid changed, now car is jerking and has no response to acceleration pedal. With car in park and gas pedal pushed down the RPM's don't move. Losing power going up a small incline RPM's drop to 500 and speed drops from 55 to 30mph. No codes from scanning but check engine light is on. Nissan has no idea what is going on.

Transmission went out at 167,000 miles. I bought the car used 3 years ago and have kept up the maintenance on the vehicle. About 6 months ago, I was driving home and the vehicle wouldn't accelerate above 20 mph. I kept cutting it on and off and trying to let it sit for a bit then trying to drive again. It wouldn't go above 20 mph. I had it checked out by a mechanic and was told I need a whole new transmission. He said that most of these transmissions don't get more than 120,000 before they go out. I then googled this issue to find so many complaints and Nissan is doing nothing about it. I even called Nissan to speak to someone about it and they acknowledged that they are aware of the transmission issues with this model but there isn't a recall so it will be up to me to pay for the repair. This is obsurd!!!! A company has put a faulty transmission in a vehicle and they are fully aware but do nothing to help their customers. I still owe $9k on the vehicle so I am out so much money.

When I purchased my car in July of 2020 there was a 6 month warranty on it and my RPM gage started bouncing while I was driving and having issues switching gears seeming like a transmission problem in October of 2020, I brought my car up to the dealership on November 3 of 2020 specifically even saying that I thought something was wrong with my transmission and they said nothing was wrong and I have proof, I brought it back several times with the same complaint and it was getting worse even after my warranty and they still said nothing was wrong. Now my engine light is one and my car will rev passed 3 RPM and my car wil not switch gears and I can’t go faster than 15 miles an hour. Something needs to be down I will not purchase a new transmission when I’ve brought it back to be checked several times something needs to be done about this now please.

CVT Transmission cause car to lose power and driving pressure engine codes of P0846 & P0868 transmission fluid pressure & Low pressure to transmission

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.

CVT. The safety issue is losing power when driving. Almost stalls. My safety in jeopardy when you have traffic including semi trucks coming from behind.

The CVT transmission sputters and stalls movement at start-up causing danger of being rear ended at the start-up of traffic control lights and during turns. The car starts to move at a light and then stalls and will not continue to accelerate, slowing down in the middle of getting up to speed.

i have reported this before with no resolution. the vehicle that financed (2019 Nissan Sentra SV) ALWAYS slows down during acceleration causing the car to jerk myself and passenger(s) forward and the car to make grinding sounds and would only allow continued driving after the car decelerated when there was NO vehicle in the front vicinity of the car. The transmission is at present in need of replacement and the Nissan manufacturer is saying I am responsible for fixing it with a cost of $2600.00 with less than 100k This should not be an expense that I have to pay when I reported this issue months ago and several owner/operators of this car are having the same as me problem!

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would jerk and hesitate upon depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer on multiple occasions to have the transmission serviced; however, the failure would return soon after each repair. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. The VIN was not available.

I've purchased a 2019 Nissan Sentra SV on 06/06/2023 from Empire Hyundai in Fall River Ma. I received the vehicle on 06/09/2023. Shortly after leaving the dealership, malfunction lights appeared with a continuous beeping sound. It would disappear when the car was turned off, and reappear after restarting the vehicle and driving for a few minutes. I had a bumper to bumper inspection conducted at Firestone in Fall River, on 06/10/2023. Tony, (Empire Hyundai salesman) had informed myself via text message on 06/13/2023, My vehicle registration and plates were completed and ready to be retrieved. He was adamant, that I get an inspection sticker right away with the voucher provider by Empire Hyundai. I retrieved the plates and registration that afternoon. I also texted Tony the bumper to bumper results and the malfunction signal(s). The earliest appointment was set for 06/20/2023 at this establishment. While I was traveling to my work site an hour out from my residence on 06/19/2023. Approximately five minutes away from the site, the vehicle abruptly slowed down. And would only move backwards, no matter the gear it was in. The vehicle was towed to Empire Hyundai at my expense. I tried to speak with the Management on 06/21/2023 for a refund. That wasn't successful. Empire Hyundai towed the vehicle to Stateline Nissan in RI on 06/22/2023, at approximately 10:00 am. Stateline Nissan disclosed to myself, they replaced the original transmission to this Nissan, just two months prior per Empire Hyundai's request. As I reviewed the documents I requested from Stateline Nissan. Empire Hyundai's invoice confirmed the vehicle malfunction lights are displayed and the transmission was replaced. Stateline Nissan informed myself on 06/22/2023. One hour before they closed, the vehicle was all done. I was able to retrieve the vehicle the next morning. Just moments after leaving Stateline Nissan, the malfunction signal reappeared along with the continuous beeping sound.

The transmission started slipping a few weeks ago and then last night it seemed like the car completely stopped working. The car didn’t shut off then but the rpm went all the way up to 6 and then there was a pop. My car then jumped and stopped moving. That was when it stopped in the middle of the road with oncoming traffic. It has done with multiple times in the past couple weeks. It has not been confirmed by a dealer. The check engine came on last night and I’m taking it to a Nissan dealer tomorrow. There has not been any other signs except the car had been juddering for the past couple weeks

Radio Turning On And Off By Itself And Car Sputtering Or Turning Off By Itself When At High Rate Of Speed

Transmission slipping and slowing on hills on freeway to the point you can’t get out of the way of other vehicles. Very unsafe. Already took to dealership on 6/17/22 and they reprogrammed the transmission, but here I am again with same issue going on less than a month later.

My RPMs do not catch up with my speed. While I'm driving rpms randomly fluctuate. The transmission doesn't engage quickly enough. Now my car can barely even stop quickly enough. it gets stuck in a high gear and when I try to accelerate it jerks. I can barely stop my car I have stop so far in advance and even than it will barely stop. THIS A HUGE SAFETY RISK for myself and others. This car still fairly new should not have these issues. I also did not any warning signs or check engine light nothing. I take care of my car. This car could potentially take the lives of others it needs to be recalled immediately.

Nissian has a known issue with CVT transmissions. I've had my vechile for less then a year an I'm already being told I need a new transmission it's unacceptable. The issues my CVT has caused is extremely unsafe an dangerous to myself an my family an other drivers. My nissian would fail to accelerate almost causing me to be sideswiped on multiple!!! Occasions , these vehicles had to swerve around me because my vechile would simply not go. There's been too many close calls regarding my vechiles an the dangerous situations it's out myself an other drivers on the road in. Numerous occasions has it failed to accelerate properly , numerous occasions the vechile wasn't switching gears properly causing late reactions in the vechile an a.increased risk for accidents . Numerous occasions has my vechile decide to accelerate when I wasnt pressing the gas for it to do so , causing me to break or break hard at times I shouldn't of . Numerous occasions has my vechile literally decide it wasn't going to drive forward anymore an I would have to get out of traffic on highway an turn the vechile off an turn it back on for it to act properly.. this vechile has caused to many potential accidents .. I would hate for someone to actually get hurt for nissian to actually care about their customers. Nissian stated they basically didn't care an I would have to pay out if pocket for expenses regardless of how new or how low the milage on my vechile was..

Going at a speed of 65 mph+ the transmission or what ever it seems to be cutting in and out, I have to either lay off the gas or pullover and let it sit for a bit for it to stop acting up and it'll stop for a while and it acts back up again, I haven't had the car for a year yet, there were a few time I almost got hit and swerved off the road because of it I usually have the kids with me and the last thing I need is to have something happen to them or me I asked what can be done about and pretty much was told that it was my problem I see many complaints pertaining to this issue, is it gonna take a death for something to be done, im quite disappointed about this and on top of this there is 2 recall for this type of vehicle what can be done about this?!

Unbeknownst to me, the stop lamp switch recall also effects the vehicle starting. I learned that they were related after I reached out to Nissan regarding my vehicle not starting, it first happened on New Years Eve. This has now happened 2-3X a week. In addition to this issue, I’ve experienced issues with the CVT, and possibly the engine. One evening I was heading home after work, I got onto the on ramp, and attempted to accelerate to merge onto I-84. The vehicle would not accelerate beyond 45, the engine would rev extremely high, and not go any faster. I pulled onto the shoulder as best and quickly as I could. I turned the car off then back on, attempted to merge onto I-84, and had to get onto the shoulder again because I wasn’t able to go faster than 45MPH. Both times I was almost sideswiped by an 18 wheeler on the driver side, had that happened I’d have lost my life. I sat there very frustrated, and in shock. After a few minutes of having no traffic, I drove home at 45MPH. I’ve reached out to Nissan regarding the aforementioned issues, asking if they’d buy the vehicle back for what I owe on it. I received a letter from Nissan Consumer Affairs basically refusing to buy the car back. It’s exasperating owning a 2019 with 15,100 miles, and experiencing these issues. I’m by no means the type of person that feels a brand new vehicle is more reliable than an older one. I’m the type of person that likes knowing I can rely on my car. My mothers’ 2003 Outback with over 230K has been far more reliable than my Sentra. Knowing that there’s no remedy to repair the stop lamp recall is frustrating, that means that each time I go to start my car it may not start, on days that it hasn’t, I’ve spent 10 minutes trying trying to get it to start. These issues are exasperating, and Nissan basically saying I’m SOL, isn’t acceptable.

at a speed of 70 mph in the outside temperature of 85 degrees or more the transmission seems to be cutting out not allowing me to get out of harms way in an emergency situation. The car will not go any faster. I can not go faster to change lanes.

TRANSMISSION-shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. OFF AND SINCE 10/21

I bought my Nissan Sentra in February of 2019 and its now january 15 2022 with 98,000 miles and the transmission is done, i have to pay money to get the transmission fixed on my car when its only been 2 years since i got the car and now i already have to fix it, this seems unfair, i have done the standard Maintenance on it and i cant believe i have to get it fixed. at the time of this report it just happen and i still have to find a way to pay for it to get fixed

The contact owns a 2019 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH and depressing on the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not fully accelerate as desired. There was an unknown warning light illuminated. The contact activated the hazard lights and pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road. The contact waited a few minutes and restarted the vehicle and was able to continue to drive to her residence. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with a major transmission failure. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and it was agreed that the transmission was faulty. The contact was informed that the mechanic could not repair the vehicle because they could not find the coding for the repair in their system. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,901.

Mileage: 35,901

When driving at speeds above 70 mph, the RPM’s start to surge. Going from 2.5 RPMs to 5 RPMs without any acceleration in speed from the driver. I have video of it when the cruise control was being used and the rpms surged and fell back. The fuel efficiency screen also shows a decrease in efficiency when the rpms go up. Have also had a loss of power when trying to pass and tried to increased speed - yet the engine surged/faltered. It happens every time I exceed 70 mph. I picked the date when I have video of this occurring. However, it happens whenever I exceed 70mph.

The contact's wife owns a 2019 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would experience a delayed upshift upon the depression of the accelerator without warning.

When I try to get a quick acceleration it doesn't want to move it has trouble climbing hills like I had to put it to the floor to make him go anywhere and sometimes when I'm driving to RPMs goes up in the middle of driving without me hitting the gas I also noticed sometimes the buttons on the steering wheel don't always work I have to turn off the car and turn it back on kind of worried about the transmission I have a 2009 Nissan Altima transmission it's going bad on it before it's time so I'm hoping this car is not having the same thing

Transmission shudders and loses power when needing to quickly accelerate. Nissan has paid me an inconvienece fee because all of their 2019 Nissan Sentra SR models experience the same issue. This is extremely dangerous! When needing to get out of a situation quickly, the vehicle shudders and hesitates before catching a gear. This has happened to me in an intersection. Someone ran a redlight and I need to move quickly to avoid an accident. The vehicle sputtered and when it caught it's gear, almost lurched me into oncoming traffic. Nissan has placed 7 transmissions in my car and all are the same. I never took their replacement car because when I drove two other of the same models of my car. They did the same thing! Nissan needs to be held accountable and find a way to fix the transmission so it does not do this shudder anymore. I've seen many consumer reviews that state the same problem. I feel this is widespread enough and a big enough safety defect that Nissan needs to fix before it kills someone because they can move out of the way in time.

WHILE DRIVING AND SLIGHTLY MOVING RIGHT OR LEFT THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE AND THE CAR KICKS BACK. THEN AS THE WHEELS ARE TURNED LEFT OR RIGHT IT FELT AS IF YOU LOSE CONTROL OF TURN. YOU HAVE TO REALLY KEEP EXTRA CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL.

SINCE I PURCHASE THE VECHILE I HAVE HAD IT BACK AT THE DEALER TO SEVERAL TIMES. IT JERKS WHEN I ACCELERATE, THEN IT WILL SURGE AND THE RPM GO HIGH WHILE IM DRIVING AND RAPIDLY JERKS. HESITATE ALL THE TIME.THIS HAPPENS ANYTIME I AM IN MOTION DRIVING.

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 WHY DIDN'T I BRING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE? AND THAT I HAVE TO GET A RENTAL CAR AND MY CAR REPAIR THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY. HE PUSHED THE IDEA OF GETTING THE CAR REPAIRED. I STATED I JUST BARELY GOT THE CAR 3-4 WEEKS AGO BRAND NEW. I LEFT THE CAR TO BE CHECKED BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE NEXT DAY THE SERVICE MANAGER DENIED ANY MALFUNCTION SAYING THERE WASN'T ANY CURRENT CODES JUST PAST CODES; I ASKED WHAT THAT MEANT HE SAID A BRAKE SENSOR AND SOME OTHER DATA I DIDN'T COMPREHEND. HE SAID GET MY INSURANCE TO FIX THE CAR. I SAID NO SIR, I WANT MORE INFORMATION ON WHY THE CAR MALFUNCTION FIRST. ONCE I EXPLAIN TO HIM AGAIN WHAT HAPPENED HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE HIS FORMAN CHECK OUT THIS CAR THE NEXT MORNING; HOWEVER LESS THAN AN HOUR THE SERVICE MANAGER ME BACK TO SAY HE TALKED TO A FIELD TECH ENGINEER AND WAS ADVISED THAT I HAD A RIGHT TO CALL NISSAN CORP TO MAKE A REPORT. I WENT BY SRVC DPT TO GET SOMETHING, THEY TRIED TO GET TO TAKE/REPAIR MY CAR. I DIDN'T. ONCE I SPOKE TO NISSAN CORP THEY SAID IT TAKE 6-8 WEEKS FOR INVESTIGATION ETC TO BE COMPLETED AND FOR ME NOT TO GET CAR REPAIRED.

I WAS COASTING TOWARDS THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WANTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED YELLOW AND I WAS ALREADY PAST THE POINT WHERE I COULD BACK UP. I HAD TO HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE THE TURN IN A QUICK FASHION AND BEAT THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR JUST PUTTERED ALONG AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS LIKE THE CVT TRANSMISSION GETS DISENGAGED WHEN THE CAR IS COASTING AT LOW SPEEDS (5-10 MPH) AND THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER TO THE WHEELS WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN. RPM IS 3000 AND THE CAR STILL DOESN'T MOVE QUICKLY ENOUGH TO GET OUT OF THAT DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE REASON I BELIEVE THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS THE CULPRIT IS BECAUSE WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND I BARELY COME TO A STOP AND I HIT THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN, IT MAKES A JERKING MOTION, LIKE THE TRANSMISSION DIDN'T DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST LIKE IT IS SUPPOSE TO, IT GETS STUCK IN THE HIGH GEAR AND WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL IT DOWNSHIFTS HARD. I HAVE TO STOP A FEW FEET AWAY FROM THE LIGHT AND THEN RELEASE THE BRAKE A LITTLE IN ORDER FOR IT TO DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST.

Mileage: 200

I WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO THE HIGHWAY TRAFFICE AND I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO PICK UP SPEED, BUT THE CAR JUST PUTTERED ALONG WITH THE RPM AT AROUND 3000 - 6000 AND I ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED BY A VAN WHO GOT REALLY CLOSE TO THE REAR-END OF MY CAR. THE GENTLEMAN IN THE VAN WAS CLEARLY UPSET AND I KNOW IT WAS MY FAULT BECAUSE MY CAR DID NOT WANT TO PICK UP SPEED. I HAVE OWNED ABOUT 80 CARS IN MY LIFE AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM; I KNOW HOW TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC VERY WELL, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 40 YEARS WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENTS OR TICKETS. I TOOK THE CAR TO CHARLIE CLARK NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS CAR MAKES ME LOOK LIKE I DRIVE LIKE AN OLD LADY, PEOPLE ARE GETTING UPSET, AS IT HAS NO PICK UP POWER AT ALL EVEN THOUGH THE RPM IS PAST 3000. THERE IS JUST NO WAY OUT OF A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE REASON I THINK IT IS THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS BECAUSE WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD IT LOSSES POWER, LIKE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING.
