Awful Car
Virginia, Rex, GA, 03/31/2016
2013 Nissan Sentra S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
I bought my car May 2013 new from the dealer, the car has never been involved in an accident. About 3-4 months after having recently bought the car the car made this horrible grinding noise, I took it to the dealer and they said it was because I drove through mud! I couldn't believe they gave me that excuse, so I took it to the dealer again and after complaining they finally looked at it … and they fixed the part that was defected. Now March 2016 my car started to accelerate or jump on its own while I was driving. The problem grew worse when making a left turn the car barely moved even though I pressed on the gas all the way the car seem like it wouldn't budge. There were also times I would press in the gas and the car started to feel like it would jump and feel like it was about to shut off. I thought the fuel filter needed to be fixed, once we took it to the dealer the problem was that the car needed a new transmission. Fortunately, the car was under warranty so they are supposed to be fixing it. Another feature I noticed that doesn't work properly is that sometimes when the front passenger is sitting it reads as if nobody is sitting there, so if I were an accident the bag could possible not deploy. This car has been nothing but a waste and I regret getting this piece of junk!!!
Great car

2013 Nissan Sentra S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
If I drive in the ECO mode, I easily get 45 mpg and trying hard can get 50 mpg in normal Boston area commuting.
In normal mode I get 42 mpg.
The sport mode is fun.
I understand why each Nissan dealer I spoke with when I was shopping stated that the mpg rating was far too low.
The manual rating is 36 highway and lower combined.
This is a ridiculously low rating.
The handling is a little … soft, but the tires are for high mpg.
The braking and acceleration is really good.
Death Trap.

2013 Nissan Sentra S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
I purchased a 2013 Nissan Sentra from Lewis Nissan. It currently has 127,532 miles on it and this is the 3rd transmission so far. She paid for the last 2. The transmission is going out again.....the dealership and Nissan has told her there is nothing wrong with it because it is not giving them a code. PLEASE DO NO BUY ANYTHING WITH THEIR CVT TRASNMISSION IT IT!!! It is a death trap we … can not trade off or sell. You will be driving it down the interstate at 70 MPH and it just stops pulling, luckily she has not caused an accident yet or worse. Our only option is to keep handing the dealership $4000 each time they replace the transmission. The dealership is not the least bit helpful, not even a loaner car. Dangerous products, tons of complaints on the CVT, contacted Nissan got told their is nothing they can do to fix their faulty product.
