Defect Description:

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

I was driving at less than 30 miles per hour when I noticed my vehicle had stopped accelerating. It was moving along fine and when I brake and put my foot on the gas, the car would rev and the RPMs would increase, but it would not move forward. As I approached a hill, it started to roll backward. I was in the middle of downtown on a Saturday afternoon and had to park by the side of the road to avoid getting hit. I towed my car to the closest vehicle and after a diagnosis check, was told that the car's transmission had failed. There were no signs or lights on the dashboard. I did some research online and saw that this was a common issue with the 2016 Nissan Sentra transmission.

When driving, the transmission jumps all the time when accelerating. Also, when driving at speeds over 70 miles per hour, the tachometer jumps up and down like the transmission is not pulling and then starts pulling.

The last time I dorve it was 11/25/22 because it seems too dangerous. Thank you!

Defect Description:

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

One of the gaskets or public seals on the vehicle failed. When the adhesive that holds this gasket in place fails, it reduces the integrity of the windshield. When it initially failed, it was hitting both the windshield and passenger side window as I drove on the highway. I was advised that the windshield does not have it full level of protection without this seal. Consumer Affairs and the dealers have been unable to provide an answer as to why the gasket fails especially so early in the life of the car. It is a 2016 with less than 80,000. The dealer previously repaired the seal in 2018 and it failed again coming out of its place between the windshield and the hood. I had no warning as the seal came out of place. I began to hear the plastic gasket slap against the windshield as I drove down the highway. The dealer and manufacturer refused to repair it after inspecting while it was in for service. They indicated it was out of warranty but provided no reason why the gasket failed. My insurance company ultimately made arrangements with a glass shop because the gasket that forms the seal cannot be replaced without replacing the windshield. I had to pay the deductible for the repair to prevent further damage to my windshield and or passenger side window.
