Recently reported UNKNOWN OR OTHER problems on 2015 Nissan Sentra

While driving stopped at a red light. when it changed to green stepped on accelerator pedal with no response. brake, oil and battery lights illuminated. was able to shift into nutral and push vehicle to a safe location. turns vehicle off, attempted to restart. vehicle turns over but will not start.

No power, no shifting gears, pulsating, hot smell, rpm goes down when vehicle is accelerated, loss of speed while in motion on the highway and roadways.

Takata recall this issue has nothing to do with current recall. my issue is regarding the transmission. initial issue happened prior to 50k miles, original transmission failed. replaced by nissan, 2nd transmission failed at 96k miles, nissan wanted to replace again. requested they take vehicle back. saw lemon law info showing issues from 2012 - 2018. fyi vehicle stopped 1st time on freeway. 2nd time in middle of busy intersection both times had to be towed.

When the car is in motion and at any speed, when pressing the gas pedal the car will randomly and without warning lose acceleration for an unknown amount of time even though the gas pedal is all the way to the floor. this happens on the highway and on any roads.

Car loses power to console only at times and others the hole car loses power while driving losing all control of car while in motion.

The weather strips on the passengers doors come off.

My cvt transmission went out at 81,361. i took it to 4 different repair shops, one of them being the nissan dealer i got the car from. all agreed it was a faulty transmission. i was told by the nissan service department that nissan would not cover any replacement or repairs, but could repair and replace the transmission for $4800.00. i went to a different auto repair shop in town and they could do the repair for $2800.00. i chose to go with the less expensive amount due to the fact that i was told by the nissan service center i would not get any reimbursement form nissan for the repair. now that i have paid $3000.00 at the other place and opened a case with nissan's complaint department i was told by nissan's complaint dept. if i had chose to get it fixed at a nissan service center they would have covered it. as i stated to the last nissan rep. if i had been told they would cover it i would have used nissan's service and not another place. the place i chose is ase certified and nissan certified to repair my vehicle. they did put in a transmission and within two weeks the replacement transmission was faulty, so now i have had 2 replacement transmissions put in my car. i see many complaints on nissan's web site regarding the cvt transmissions in 2015 sentras. how can a recall be issued for what is apparently a mass problem that nissan will not admit they have? thank you.

I was in motion when all of a sudden my car started to hesitate and not speed up.i can't remember exactly when it happened but it was a few months ago. i have tried to take care of this matter with nissan corporation but they were not helpful and not being cooperative. i also took my car to a transmission specialist near where i live and they stated it is the transmission that went very bad. i no longer have the vehicle in my possession because i refuse to pay an arm and a leg for a faulty transmission that was beyond my control to get it repaired and i was sold a lemon vehicle.

It's the gear shift it gets stuck i've only had the car 1 year and bought it from abc nissan

There is a technicians bulletin for my car and is a known issue but nissan wants to charge to fix the issue. the issue is the piece is malfunctioning and has to be reprogrammed. when you are trying this problem makes the car stall a bit and could be dangerous if pulling out and the car is not able to obtain a higher speed.

My transmission seems to slide when driving. the vehicle is a 2015 and was purchased brand new in the spring of 2016. i've contacted the dealership and was informed i am out of warranty and spoke with my mechanic who confirms the transmission is slipping. the listed vehicle is no longer being driven for the safety of my children and i but payments are still being made on the listed note. the last time the vehicle was driven the car hesitated to make a turn which left me in the middle of the road waiting for the vehicle to accelerate. luckily, it was early in the morning and barely anyone on the road. this occurred getting off a highway.

The drivers side window motor bolt ripped out of the door frame and now no longer works and the window can't be set in place to stay up. i'm without a window on the drivers side now. i don't know how the bolt ripped through the frame. even the wire got ruined.

Car has been making tapping/knocking/squealing noise since about 20,000 miles. dealership was notified, as well as nissan consumer affairs. (audio was taken of noise). car was taken to shop. mechanics could not "replicate sound" that my car was making, even though i had shown mechanics proof, and they heard car making noise at idle and when car was revved up. mechanic was instructed to take car home for a period of 7 days. he could not "replicate sound" that my car was making. my car had been in and out of the shop (for the same issue) at least 6 times between 2016-2017. and the issue still remained. now (40,000+ miles since noise first started), i have noticed a significant reduction in horsepower, coupled with the squealing/tapping/knocking noise, that is progressively getting louder. i once again have contacted nissan consumer affairs, who instructed me to take it to a different nissan repair facility and front the $99.00 diagnostic fee to have my vehicle diagnosed. i am now without a vehicle, and i still am in the dark as to what is going on with my car. the sound that my car makes occurs when my car is moving, idling, in gear, or in park. i have notified the dealership and consumer affairs of this ongoing issue, and feel that they just do not want to look into this, even though there is an issue with my car.

My linkage went out on freeway and i had to keep stopping and putting it in cuz it wud pop out of gear w no warning and then the transmission went

This happened a few months back 1 single time. i put car in reverse to back out of a space. car reversed fine. then i tried to put it into drive but it would not go into drive, only up to neutral. i tried turning it off and the waiting a min or 2 and turned it back on to see if it would go to drive. it would not. it would only move in reverse. i kept trying until on one of those tries it finally went into drive and i was able to get going again. then recently, i think, 8/2/17, wed, i was at bank parked. i put car on reverse to leave bec i had a few more errands to do,car went back fine. then i tried to put into drive; it would not go to drive. same thing happened. it would not go into drive. it stopped in neutral and there were many cars trying to get past me, as i was blocking those coming south and those going north of me. i didn't know what to do! so i put it back into reverse and went back as much as i safely could in order to clear a wider space to see if cars could squeeze past me. the waiting cars squeezed through very unsafely for them and for me. then i just kept trying by turning the car off and on a few mins later. i kept trying to put into drive. it would go to neutral but not into drive. until one time, when it did and i was able to go to my next stop which was walgreens.exact thing reoccurred; i repeated tries; finally went into drive. i proceeded to go to publix. same senario happened. it took many tries.finally went into drive and i was able to get home. i got home. happened again when i reversed from being parked at my bldg blocking everyone. a ups truck driver also blocked. i asked for his help.he made attempts to put into dr. finally got it. moved my car out of harm's way. nissan paper work is dated 8/4/17. it may repeat in a dangerous place. was city in motion from parked. maybe gear box is faulty, engine/transmission problem or electrical.

Occupant classification system (ocs) "from owners manual" after ignition switch is placed in the "on" position, the front passenger air bag status light on the instrument panel illuminates for about 7 seconds and turns off or remains illuminated depending on the front passenger seat occupied status. *unoccupied front passenger's seat: the light is off and the front air bag is off. and will not inflate in a crash. on my vehicle the light remains on constantly even when unoccupied, it does not turn off as stated. after reading numerous complaints from other nissan owners, it is apparent the dealer does not want to "fix" the problem and just creates argument over the status of the light even when shown the owners manual on the proper operation of the front passenger air bag status light. it is very distracting and annoying with this bright yellow light in the middle of the dash, constantly on, especially at night when it is most noticeable. the light comes on from the time you start the car until you turn the car off, even when no one is sitting in the front passenger seat. took car to dealer and they are not willing to fix the problem, they say it is working if the light remains on even when the front seat is unoccupied. that is not what the owners manual states, nor is it what other nissan owners have been complaining about. the light should not stay on when the seat is unoccupied.

Cvt slips, noisy, hesitation

2015 sentra has a wind noise that is related to interstate speeds and high cross winds. the least the noise will do is sound out in beeps and buzzes louder than polite conversation. at worst it can come as a full on blast of noise like a truck horn or someone suddenly yelling into your right ear while your concentrating on the rush hour traffic and the ever changing situation. no driver should have to put up this level of distraction while driving. my wife has been driving the washington dc metro area roads and beltway for over 40 years. she has never had an at fault accident. she has never gotten a ticket. the driving here is a challenge due to the very high speeds the traffic moves at. my wife won't drive over 70 mph. basically every one is blowing by her like she's sitting still. having a random loud burst of noise in your ear is unnerving. nissan states it's a characteristic of the car!! must be because the versa loaner did it too. with the focus on not having distracted drivers it seems odd a manufacturer would promote this as a feature.

Car was hacked, water, laundry detergent, car care items were stolen from the trunck. registration and insurance card were thrown into the street, thank god i recognized the plastic folder.

While driving the nissan at about 45 mph, i tried to let up on the gas pedal, but my shoe was caught on the base of the console, which delayed my ability to decrease my speed.

The car wouldn't accelerate immediately after coming off a complete stop. once i turn the car off and when to turn it back on and put it in gear, it wouldn't shift gears. it starts but wouldn't move.

This car makes all kinds of noises like it's going to fall apart, it hesitates when at a stop light like if it has a transmission problem. the noises are when you slow down for a stop and then get ready to take off. it's like if it's an old car creaking and sounds like something is going to fall off.
