This car has the CVT, and it is worthless. I have a 2016 Nissan Sentra just hit over 100,000 miles, and I already had to replace the transmission in February 2024, and it just went again and needs replaced. That’s three months. it might have a warranty, but this is not worth my time. There is no way this should’ve went in three months and the first month, I did not drive because I had knee replacement. Nissan is not helpful at all about this issue and we have put over $4,000 Into this, and that does not count utilizing a car while the cars in the shop or anything else.

2023 Nissan SENTRA
  • Date of Incident: Mar-16, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-29, 2024
  • Failed components: FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS and BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS

I have noticed that there was false alarms coming out of the forward collision warning system and the automatic rear parking warning system. When i was driving down a road, there was a person walking on the sidewalk not near the actual road itself. My car thought that i was going to hit that person and sounded the warning. For the rear, when i was reversing out of my driveway, the rear parking warning sounded and the automatic breaking came into effect. The car thought i was going to hit the ground, although i had enough clearance. I believe the automatic breaking system for the rear and front is defective and needs more work. I used to own a 2021 nissan sentra, same features and i never had these kinds of false alarms as i have with my current 2023 nissan sentra.

Me and my daughter was pulling out onto a bypass highway and the car wouldn't go anywhere and we were stuck in the middle of the highway with cars coming towards us. So i had to jump out and while it was still in drive i had to push it out of the highway so we wouldn't get hit by the on coming traffic. I finally pushed it fast enough and jumped back into the car and pressed the gas pedal and it caught so i could drive it home and i parked it.
