Avoid like the plague!

By 1angryconsumer written on 04-04-2014

I purchased this car about 3 months ago. When I test drove it I didn't notice anything unusual. But after about a week of driving I noticed the car starts to "shudder" when slowing down to a stop or creeping in traffic. Every day, every time. It will keep it up until you either stop or accelerate. The CVT operates at two levels for 2014, basically Low and Drive. It's not dropping out of Drive to Low, causing terrible shuddering in the CVT. Nissan calls it "Juttering." So it's a known issue! I've been to the dealer 3X. Nissan Corporate Consumer and Regional Techs have been involved and say it's "normal." Really? That's BS, inexcusable and very poor engineering. This CVT is a disaster! AVOID...April 2016: After experiencing several other bad problems with the it and getting no satisfaction with a face-to-face arbitration meeting with Nissan, I traded the Sentra in a few months later on a 2015 Rogue SL AWD. The Rogue is superb, the Sentra is junk.

So far we like it

This is my first brand new car so maybe I am biased but we like our 2014 Sentra. I bought the car April 29 2014 and have driven nearly 2500 miles in a month. Not much road noise, it gets up to speed and cruises just fine, great MPG and I find it comfortable. I have read people complain about the car being underpowered but if you test drove it before buying it, you knew what you were getting. Driving around 100 miles round trip per day all highway and its great.

its no honda civic

The car looks great, interior is nice. But the only thing I car is the car to keep my family safe. The Acceleration should not have to make the care sound like its red lining the motor to just get on high way or pass some one. Driving in snow is like a death trap. It sways all over the highway In and out of snow. I know its not my 4�4 but its not my 2014 Honda civic neither. I drove for first time in snow today and was stuck right away. Car is too low to ground. An the gears in front end grind . I know about the traction control, but it don't work worth nothing. When you turn off it should make tires spine. But it still bogs car down. Not fun when your stuck. Buy a Honda civic not. Sentra. No Sure about the other Nissan vehicles an how they handle and performance but I won't ever buy one again. Sorry Nissan you let me down.

Worst Decision Ever

I purchased this 2014 Sentra SR a few months back and within minutes of leaving the dealership I noticed the Shutter/Shudder/Jutter whatever you want to call it. 3 Nissan Dealerships and 200+ technician driven miles later and they still can't come up with a fix. I contacted Nissan North America about a month ago and have been going back and forth with the rudest, most incompetent customer service agents ever. Not only are they impolite and discourteous, but they actually have the nerve to talk down to you like you're some kind of idiot. Anyways, I'll keep everyone here in the loop as this process plays out. In the meantime, AVOID NISSAN LIKE THE PLAGUE!

Great for the first 1,000 miles

By Nate written on 10-06-2015

Purchased my 2014 Sentra SV used with 38,xxx miles in August 2015. Everything was fine for the first thousand miles then the transmission began slipping. I did my research on several cars before buying, including the Sentra, but dismissed the claims about the transmissions- BIG mistake. Now, not even two months after purchasing, i have an appointment with my local Nissan dealer to look at my transmission. It's jerking, little or no power, sends the RPMs up to 5,500 randomly, and I feel totally unsafe in this vehicle. This is my first Nissan and likely my last. My two prior vehicles made it to well over 100,000 miles with few major repairs and certainly not a transmission. A 2014 model vehicle with less than 50,000 miles should not need a new transmission. Update---Ended up trading the vehicle in Apil of 2016 for a 2016 Hyundai Veloster. I shouldn't have left Hyundai when I did and learned my lesson the hard way. 10 yr/100,000 mile power train warranty and the dealership is very easy to work with!
