  I TURNED ON MY CAR IN A PARKING STRUCTURE AND AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF DRIVING MY CAR BEGIN JERKING AND SUDDENLY TURNED OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. WITH A SCAN TOOL, I SAW THE I GOT CODES FOR MAF. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND NOTICED THAT OTHER CARS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM UPSET BECAUSE I CONTINUE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. FIRST I HAD THE TRANSMISSION PREMATURELY GO OUT AND NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT TURNS OFF WHEN DRIVING.

• 12/31/2019· POWER TRAIN

  THE CAR FIRST STARTED SKIPPING. THEN THE TACHOMETER RACED AND THERE WAS NO GAS PEDAL. THEN IT STARTED BUCKING AND THE TACHOMETER RACED. THEN THERE WAS NOTHING AGAIN. NO POWER. WE PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND IT WOULDN'T GO FORWARD JUST SAT WITH THE TACHOMETER RACING. WOULDN'T GO ANYWHERE. WE WERE JUST OUTSIDE OF NASHVILLE TN WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND WE HAD TO BE TOWED 921 MILES HOME. COST WAS EXPENSIVE. IS AT A SERVICE STATION NOW BEING LOOKED AT.

• 12/31/2014· SERVICE BRAKES

  MY BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR RANDOMLY, SEEMS TO BE FROM PARK TO REVERSE SO FAR. HAVE TO PUMP THEM BACK UP. THE SENTRA HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. AS REPORTED TO THIS AGENCY BACK IN AUGUST 2014, I CONTACTED NISSAN CORP. WHO DID NOTHING. THE SECOND VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP (OCTOBER 2014) THEY REPLACED THE REAR MASTER CYLINDERS WHICH SEEMED TO WORK UP UNTIL NOW , TOOK VEHICLE BACK IN DECEMBER 2014 AND THEY BLED THE BRAKES, BUT ITS DOING IT AGAIN, AND ON DECEMBER 24TH, WHILE AT A LOCAL BANK DRIVETHRU LANE, STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND NOTHING CAUSING ME TO STRIKE THE CEMENT ABUTMENT AND DAMAGE THE HUBCAP (WHICH THE DEALER REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE). THEN ON DECEMBER 31ST, NEW YEARS EVE, WHILE AT A LOCAL STORE, WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE, HAD NO BRAKES AGAIN, AND HAD TO PUMP THEM UP. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE NOW, AND WILL BE CALLING DEALER AGAIN, AND CONTACTING NISSAN CORP. IT IS LEASED, AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET RID OF IT NOW BEFORE AN INJURY OCCURS. MAYBE I CAN GET A 2015. THIS IS COMPLAINT NUMBER 2 ON THIS WEBSITE.FOR THE SAME ISSUE. *JS

• 12/29/2015· AIR BAGS

  THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES INDICATING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS DISABLED DURING TRAVEL INTERMITTENTLY BOTH WITH AND WITHOUT A PASSENGER PRESENT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS HAPPENED DURING ALL TYPES OF DRIVING AND SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN MAKING A RELATIVELY SHARP RIGHT HAND TURN. DEALER DID UPDATE FIRMWARE AND/OR RE-CALIBRATE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM UNDER WARRANTY BUT THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE ONE OR MORE AIR BAG COMPONENTS IS INTERMITTENTLY FAILING. THE DURATION OF THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ILLUMINATED HAS BEEN ANYWHERE FROM A FEW SECONDS TO 30+ MINUTES. FIRST TAKEN TO DEALER IN JULY 2015, HAVE CALLED AND/OR BEEN BACK IN SEVERAL TIME SINCE. THEY HAVE STATED THEY MUST BE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE/RESOLVE. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN AIR BAG SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY FAILING, NOT SOMETHING LESS CRITICAL LIKE A RADIO OR AIR CONDITIONER.

As she attempted to correct the vehicle, the vehicle rolled over several times and landed in a ditch. The air bags did not deploy. The fire department and ambulance arrived at the scene and his daughter was taken to the hospital. The contact was informed that police were not needed at the scene; therefore, a police report was not filed.

  MY COMPLAINT SEEMS TO BE THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE WITH THIS VEHICLE....A FAULTY TRANSMISSION! I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW NISSAN ISN'T REPLACING THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT! OF COURSE AS WE ARE JUST OUT OF THE WARRANTY, IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM! MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO GET OFF SINCE THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE OVER 40MPH. THE RMP GAUGE WOULD GO BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T! IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO KNOW THAT NISSAN ISN'T BEING HELD MORE ACCOUNTABLE FOR SUCH A MASSIVE ERROR IN THEIR MANUFACTURING.

  I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREETS, ABOUT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY ONTO SOUTH I-880 AND I HEAR A BANG. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SHATTERS INWARD. THE CITY OF FREMONT POLICE CAME AND INSPECTED MY CAR AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT COULD'VE CAUSED IT. INCIDENT HISTORY# P14101613 DATE: 12/10/14 TIME: 1710 HOURS THE NEXT DAY, MY DAD WENT TO THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE BRAND NEW 2014 NISSAN SENTRA BACK IN MAY OF 2014 BUT THE MANAGER ON DUTY SAID IN HIS 30 YEARS WORKING THERE, HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN INCIDENT (SPONTANEOUS GLASS BREAKAGE). THEN, MY DAD WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE WORKED ON MY WINDOW TODAY, 12/19/14 AND SAW THAT THE METAL THAT IS USED ON MY WINDOW WAS SLIGHTLY BENT. THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND UNSAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE BUT THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO HELP ME. I DON'T FEEL THAT I CAN DRIVE FAR ANY MORE BECAUSE THE METAL IS NOT FIXED DUE TO THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT, I FEAR THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY SINCE I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR! *TR

  THE TRANSMISSION WOULD OCCASIONALLY SLIP WHILE IN MOTION DURING ACCELERATION. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT INTO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE, WE BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THEIR ATTENTION. SERVICE DEPARTMENT ADVISED THAT A TCM SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NEEDED. I LOCATED A SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN COVERING TCM REPROGRAM COVERING 2013 VEHICLES (SB-10051662-4475).

• 12/15/2016· POWER TRAIN

  THE TRANSMISSION HAD A CATASTROPHIC TRANSMISSION FAILURE AFTER 25 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP AND 82,000 MILES. CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE. MY TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAID HE SEES THIS ALL THE TIME WITH NISSAN'S CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. NISSAN DECLINED TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS BECAUSE MY CAR WAS 22,000 MILES PAST THE LIMITED POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, AND BECAUSE THIS YEAR SENTRA IS NOT PART OF ANY CURRENT TRANSMISSION RECALL. IT IS MY HOPE TO CALL ATTENTION TO A PRODUCT THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE RECALLED, AS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. CONSUMERS WHO BUY NISSAN SENTRAS ARE OFTEN BUDGET-MINDED, AND A REPAIR THAT EXCEEDS $4,000 IS NOT EXPECTED AT 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, NOR SHOULD IT BE.

• 12/13/2018· POWER TRAIN

  OUR CVT TRANSMISSION JUST LET GO ON A 2014 SENTRA SR WITH 89,000. IT WAS SLIPPING, BUCKING AND STALLING THE CAR. TOWED IT TO THE DEALER SAID THE COST WOULD BE $2200 TO REPLACE THE VALVE BODY AND A EXHAUST TIMING SOLENOID. IF THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, (I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2200) IT WOULD NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $4300. I CALLED NISSAN CORPORATE BUT THEY WERE OF NO HELP. THEY SAID IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY DIDN'T EVEN OFFER TO PAY 50%. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THIS IS OUR 5TH NISSAN. NEVER WILL I BUY A NISSAN VEHICLE.

  My moonroof spontaneously exploded while driving to work on the interstate. There was a very loud boom that sounded like a bomb or tire exploding and then glass started raining down on me while driving. Luckily, my children were not with, as there were small pieces of glass throughout the interior cabin including the back seat where they sit. I was driving alongside a semi when it happened and was at about the mid point of the semi's length. I initially thought the semi's tire blew and debris hit a passenger side window until the glass started falling on me. I live in Michigan. The temperature was around 30 degrees to 32 degrees. No snow, rain, or ice was on the moonroof or on the road that could have been kicked up to cause the break. The road and adjacent ground were completely dry. I parked in the garage overnight and had been on the road approximately 15 minutes when it happened. I was driving approximately 76 mph. This is the second time my moonroof exploded with this vehicle. The first time happened approximately 5+ years ago and the glass was replaced by a local glass shop under an insurance claim with Progressive Insurance. With the first incident, the result was a round hole maybe 9" in diameter, so I thought a large rock hit it. I was completely distraught over it, pulled over to the side of the road in morning rush hour traffic, and searched for a rock in the car. I found nothing. At the time of the first incident, it happened during a warmer Michigan month; though, I do not recall the specific timeframe. It was well above 50 degrees when it happened. I had been on the road for maybe 10 minutes and was driving approximately 70 mph. Now that it has happened a second time, I am absolutely convinced both incidents were due to a vehicle flaw. It happened yesterday, 12/11/2023. I have an appointment on 12/14/2023 with Graff Nissan in Okemos to have it reviewed. I am looking for a new vehicle because I'm scared to drive it.

• 12/12/2021· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  While driving the car in the city, the car suddenly lost the ability to accelerate. I was stalled in the middle of an intersection to turn left. I was almost hit several times as the light cycles twice and I traffic wouldn't allow me to push the car. After five minutes, this seemed to rectify itself. However, the car started to shudder and a light grinding could be heard when driving. Then the inability to accelerate started again. I immediately took the vehicle to a repair facility. They inspected the car and said I needed to take the car to a dealer as they felt it was a transmission issue and that my car had a terrible reputation with CVT troubles. I took it to a Nissan dealer and when I described the issue they said it would be 3 weeks before I could be seen. I'm still waiting for the appointment date (Dec 20, 2021)

While attempting to accelerate, the transmission was slipping. The vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The failure occurred intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission had failed. The contact was referred to the dealer for warranty assistance. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who was unable to identify the cause of the failure. The failure persisted and recurred more frequently. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and filed a case. The manufacturer confirmed that the vehicle was included in an Extended Warranty Program. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000.

  The check engine light keeps coming on with a P0101 indication Mass or Volume Air Flow Curcuit Range/ Performance Problem. The filter was changes, the Mass Air Flow Sensor was changes, and the PCV valve was changed but the light keeps coming on. The vehicle also will not accelerate as fast and sometimes will not go over a certain speed. The vehicle sometimes startes to rolls backwards when in drive when idling. The vehicle also shakes when slowing down from a higher speed i.e. when you are on the freeway and then have to slow to lower speeds no matter how much distance you give. I have almost been rear ended and run backwards at the light because the vehicle goes backwards then goes forward. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR 2014 NISSIAN OWNERS.

  While driving RPM needle started going up and down and car stopped accelerating. Had car towed to repair shop to be told the transmission is bad. This could easily have caused an accident. Nissan needs to issue a recall and replace these. All the previous complaints shows an obvious problem.

• 12/02/2016· AIR BAGS

  I REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO NISSAN FEBRUARY 2015. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS YET. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000 LAST TIME I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN NOV 28, I GAVE THEM A VIDEO I HAD TAKEN OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATING THE AIRBAG WAS DISABLED ON NOV 26 DURING A TRIP FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO LA. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS DISABLED DURING 120 MILES OF THE TRIP. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THAT THIS CAN HAPPEN IF I MOVE, LIKE LIFTING YOUR BUTT TO REMOVE YOUR WALLET OUT OF YOUR BACK POCKET, I JUST HAVE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN IT OFF, WAIT FOR A MINUTE AND START IT AGAIN. I POINTED OUT HOW RIDICULOUS THAT STATEMENT WAS. SO WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DRIVE ON A BUMPY ROAD? HE RESPONDED: OK, WE WILL RESET THE SENSOR BUT IT WILL PROBABLY NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. HE WAS RIGHT IN THAT, SAME EVENING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG GOT DISABLED AGAIN. I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS OF THE AIR BAG BEING DISABLED AT MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE CAR HAVE NOW BEEN IN TWICE FOR NISSAN TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO JUST THAT. *TR

• 12/01/2023· POWER TRAIN

  CVT failure. When putting the vehicle in gear, or idling while in gear, engine stalls. When this occurs on roadways, the car may or may not be drivable and puts the occupants of the vehicle as well as other motorists at risk. The problem has been confirmed by an independent service center. This does not appear to be a wear issue, the vehicle has low mileage and has been properly maintained. There are no warning messages or dashboard indicator lights suggesting a problem.

• 12/01/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  2014 NISSAN SENTRA SL 4 DOOR SEDAN - FAULTY FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR. THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR IS SHOWING LESS FUEL THAT IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK I.E. THERE IS MORE FUEL IN THE TANK THAN WHAT THE GAUGE INDICATOR SHOWING - AND IT GETTING WORSE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS THAT RECOMMENDS TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. I TOOK IT IN SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL IT HAPPENING I.E. THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST/NOT CORRECTED. DEALER REPLACE FUEL PUMP BUT PROBLEM STILL EXIST/NOT CORRECTED - AND DEALERS GIVING VARIOUS EXCUSES. IT IS VERY AGONIZING EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, ETC. ETC. THINKING THAT THE VEHICLE WILL RUN OUT OF GAS AND LEFT ONE STRANDED. CANNOT TELL NOW IF THE DIGITAL OR MANUAL GAUGE READING IS CORRECT BECAUSE BOTH ARE DIFFERENT. PS. THIS GRADUALLY STARTED IN NOVEMBER 2014. I KEPT MONITORING IT AND IT GETTING WORSE, THEN I DECIDED TO CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND TOOK IT BACK FOR REPAIRS ON AUGUST 31, 2015 - THEN AGAIN, SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 - THE AGAIN NOVEMBER 6, 2015 . THIS IS THE REASON FOR ME TO STATE "THE HAPPEN DATE" AS AUGUST 31, 2015. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAUSES OVER FILLING AND SPILLING OF GAS THAT CAN CAUSE A FIRE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A MALFUNCTION OF THE NISSAN FUEL PUMP AND THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT THE NHTSA SPEEDILY INVESTIGATE THIS SAFETY MATTER. AFTER NOVEMBER 6, 2015 - I CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR THE NISSAN REPRESENTATIVE THAT HANDLES MY CASE, BUT SHE NEVER CONTACTED ME BACK.

AFTER TRYING TO ACCELERATE MORE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE AT ALL. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS SUCH AS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT ALL WHICH MADE ME BELIEVE THERE WAS NOTHING SERIOUS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN IT WAS INSPECTED BY NISSAN TECHNICIANS, THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMPLETELY BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IF THE TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY AND THE FACT THAT THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WRONG CAUSE ME SERIOUS POTENTIAL DANGER AS I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY, UNABLE TO MOVE.

  HAD MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY OCT.13,2018 FOR A 2HR TRIP...1HR INTO TRIP AND MY CAR KNOCKED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND BEGAN JERKING WITH RPMS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. ON RETURN TRIP IT DID THE SAME THING, BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER APPEARED ON DASH. WHEN CHECKED, NO RED FLAGS AND AFTER A DAY OR 2 AROUND TOWN RPMS DID NOT JUMP. NOV.22,2018(JUST A LITTLE OVER 1 MONTH) I PUT MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY FOR THE SAME TRIP AND WITHIN AN HOUR THE CAR KNOCKED OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL, BEGAN JERKING AND RPMS WERE JUMPING UP AND DOWN. ON THE RETURN TRIP BACK, 1HR AND A HALF INTO TRIP, MY CAR LOST ALL ACELERATION POWER..PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT CONTINUED TO DROP SPEED FROM 70MPH TO 45 BEFORE I TURNED ON HAZARDS AND STOPPED ON THE SHOULDER. THEN FINALLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPS ON! BUT MY DAUGHTER AND I WERE NOW STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE BUSY HIGHWAY. MY CAR HIT 75K MILES DURING THIS 2ND TRIP, SO FIRST TIME WAS UNDER 75K. AFTER SPENDING OVER AN HOUR HELPLESS, THE CAR JUMPED BACK INTO GEAR AND ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE IT THE REMAINING 20 MILES, BUT ONCE EXITING THE HIGHWAY I COULD NOT ACELERATE TO MERGE INTO STREET TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED. THERE HAS BEEN NO MENTION OF ANY CVT ISSUES WHEN I TAKE IT IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. NOW IT'S IN NEED OF REPAIR BADLY! NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT IN TO THE NISSAN DEALER ASAP. I'VE BEEN LOYAL TO NISSAN FOR MANY YEARS HAVING HAD A 1995 AND 2002 SENTRA FOR YEARS...I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THIS 2014 FOR 2 YET, AND IF BEING STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH A YOUNG CHILD OR ALMOST BEING REAR-ENDED DUE TO LOSS OF POWER TO ENGINE DOESN'T SCREAM 'WE NEED A SAFETY RECALL' WHAT WILL??

  WAS ON A 5-LANE HIGHWAY (SPEED LIMIT: 50MPH) AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE EFFECTIVELY. THE CAR BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SURGE AND THE ENGINE BEGAN INTERMITTENT REVING. LUCKILY, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. UPON STARTING FROM A LIGHT, THE ENGINE LAGGED TRYING TO ACCELERATE LIKE IT HAD NO POWER. THEN IT REVVED TO REDLINE WITHOUT ANY ACCELERATION. ACCELERATION CONTROL WAS NOW COMPLETELY GONE ON A 40MPH ROAD. THANKFULLY, I MADE IT TO A TWO LANE ROAD OUT OF TRAFFIC WHEN IT HAPPENED AND COASTED APPROXIMATELY A HALF MILE HOME. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH 62,000 MILES ON IT. THEY ADVISED THE CVT NOT REPAIRABLE AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT AS THEY FOUND PIECES OF THE DRIVE BELT AND WASHERS PRESENT IN THE TRANSMISSION PAN. THEY SAID THE FACTORY WARRANTY WAS 5-YEARS/60,000 MILES AND WOULD NOT ASSIST. CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY DECLINED TO ASSIST STATING THEY WOULD NOT HELP BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, PREOWNED AND THEY COULD NOT LOCATE SERVICE RECORDS. THE DEALERSHIP NOW WANTS $3,800 TO REPLACE THE CVT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT AND WILL NOT ASSIST. IT CAUSES AN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF ACCELERATION CONTROL AND NEAR STATIONARY TRAFFIC IMPEDANCE.

WE HAD THE VEHICLE IN FOR THESE PROBLEMS AT 50,788 MILES (12/29/2017), THE DEALER DID A REPROGRAM AT THIS TIME, AND 54,904 MILES (03/09/2018)WITH THE NISSAN DEALER SAYING THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. NOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THESE PROBLEMS, BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 84,000 MILES, OUR VEHICLE HAS 85,750 MILES SO IT IS NOT COVERED. THE DATE AND INCIDENT INFORMATION BELOW REPRESENTS THE DATE OF THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE.

  WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED A NOISE WHILE ACCELERATING. WHEN I TURNED THE WHEEL WHILE ACCELERATING IT GOT LOUDER AND STRUGGLED TO MOVE IVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR THREE YEARS. I HAD CALLED THE DEALER TO ASK ABOUT MY WARRENTY. THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT I WAS OVER MY MILAGE. SO THEN I TOOK IT TO AMCO TO GET IT SERVICED AND I FIND OUT THE TRANSMISSION HAD ISSUES SPENT 2800.
