NHTSA complaint: 2013 NISSAN SENTRA — POWER TRAIN
BOUGHT THIS CAR, MY FIRST CAR ON 04/20/2018. I HAVE A SHORT COMMUTE TO WORK AND THE CAR SEEMED TO FIT MY PRICE RANGE AND DIDN'T SEE MANY DIRE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SPECIFIC MODEL OF CAR WHILE RESEARCHING BEFORE PURCHASING. UNTIL I SEARCHED RPM SPIKES AND TRANSMISSION SLIPS ON GOOGLE AFTER MY 60 DAY LIMITED WARRANTY RAN OUT. HAVEN'T EVEN DRIVEN THIS CAR 800 MILES AND THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY ON THE ROADS, AND AT ONLY 55,000 MILES. IT JERKED FROM DAY ONE, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL UNTIL IT GOT WORSE. I'M JUST NOW REGRETTING BUYING THIS VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO I WAS IN A PINCH FOR A CAR I GOT BILLS TO PAY AND A JOB I HAVE TO MAKE IT TO. IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND ALL AGREE THE CVT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I HAVE TO BE HONEST I AGREE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU COULD SELL SOMEONE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT LETTING THEM KNOW THE REPUTATION THIS CAR HAS. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU COULD SELL SOMEONE A USED CAR TO SOMEONE AND KNOW THAT PERSONS CAR MAY STALL, OR JERK AND CAUSE A LIFE THREATENING CAR CRASH. WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO IT, ITS NOT THE MONEY ITS THE SAFETY, THE VEHICLE DOESN'T OPERATE IN A SAFE MANNER, IT JERKS, STALLS, SHAKES WHEN BREAKING ALL WHILE NOT FLASHING ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS SAYING THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WHEN THERE CLEARLY IS SOMETHING WRONG.
