      Any suggestions.....I'm assuming the alternator but I'm not sure it's a 2019 nissan sv 1.8L ....i just jumped it and it started and I let it run for over a hour. Triple A said the battery was good starter was good but the alternator wasn't putting out power. Could it be a fuse??

    My 2014 Sentra is about to hit 90k, it’s been a really good car. Drive sensibly and keep the RPM below 4K, they hold up pretty well. I change the cvt fluid every 60k and use sport mode on hills.

    I am owning a Nissan Sentra 2014, I think am the 3rd owner and still drives smooth after reaching 183kKM. I have heard from different mechanics to get it replaced with another car, due to having a CVT transmission. If Nissan really makes a CVT transmission that fragile and weak, they might lose lots of customers.

    Catalytic Converter!
    My Nissan Sentra 2015 100k miles was always slow to accelerate, but during a trip in the hills of Pennsylvania it broke. It wouldn't go past 60 MPH. I think it was sold to me with a bad catalytic converter. Here is my story:
    I had the MAF sensor P0101, changed the sensor. Nothing.
    Took it to the Nissan dealership, and they wanted to change the Throttle Body Control. I changed it myself. Nothing.
    I changed the PVC valve even though it was working properly. Nothing.
    I changed the filter. Nothing.
    I took it back to the Nissan Dealership and they said "Brake booster." I agreed to pay the $1600 even though I knew damn well it wasn't the brake booster.
    Then they come back with, "It wasn't the brake booster. But we found out it was the catalytic converter. We took the catalytic converter off, drove around with it, and it works fine. Your catalytic converter melted inside and is restricting the flow of exhaust. So we'll only charge you $2000 for both the brake booster and the catalytic converter."

    I got a 2013 Sentra used back in 2017. The CVT transmission failed at nearly 40K miles. Thankfully the car was under warranty. I do regular maintenance on it all the time. I take really good care of it as well--never did any rigorous or stupid driving behavior in it.
    Another issue with this Sentra would be the wheel bearings would come loose. That happened to me as well, but thankfully it was under warranty.

    I had a 91 Nissan Maxima that i bought brand new. My co-worker at the time kept saying Nissans didn't last many miles. That Maxima SE was the one of the smoothest and best driving cars that i have owned, but just as my old co-worker said, when it hit 90,000 miles,it went into self destruct mode. Transmission, oil leaks, electrical problems like windows, transmission interlock, etc, etc. That experience soured my affinity for anything Nissan except the small trucks. Every Mechanic report i have read says they are unreliable and give big problems when they get mileage.

    My wife's sentra of this vintage only had the first 3 problem. 1st one we just cleaned the maf but we do have to change the pcv valve, cvt in ours was replaced by the dealer at the 42k mile mark and the new one is going strong at 97K miles. We replaced all struts and the front mounts twice. But the front mounts still make a pop noise on the first turn and it goes away. Other than that, it's been a rock solid reliable car.

    I had a 1998 p11 primera with Nissans first gen cvt as far as I know. I changed the fluid every 30000kms and it finally gave out at 297000kms after 10years of ownership. Hyper cvt was def known to fail quicker than the modern xtronic so take it how ever you like but thrash a cvt and never service the transmission then don’t expect longevity.

    I'm a Nissan Technician. Ecm update pretty much always fixes the P0101 code. Yes the Cvt's have issues. I've never seen any strut issues with them, I've never had an abs code on one, and I have never had to replace a coil on one. Just my 2 cents for working on them for 5 years.

  • @theylied1776

    The only problem is the Nissan Front-Wheel Drive Transmission. Do not buy any Nissan with a CVT. Last November, Nissan admitted in court that their Jatco CVTs are defective! And they are still using the same defective design for all of their CVTs. DO NOT BUY ANY NISSAN WITH A JATCO CVT!

  • @syken8695

    I have a 2014 Sentra. I am always trying to keep up with maintenance on it. I have a lot of service records on it. I had to have it towed to the repair shop several times. First was the PCV valve throwing MAF codes. Car would start and then shut off immediately after. Second was the rear wheel brake cylinders exploded leaving a pool of brake fluid under the car, had no brakes. Had to tow it to the shop in a hurry. The third time what happened was when I got to the shop for routine maintenance, the mechanics found both control arms cracked, had them replaced for $1500. Been in a minor accident twice with this car and total repair bill for this car was over $9000. Aside from other problems like AC completely failing, had to replace an HVAC hose and the compressor for $1350. Both struts and shocks were replaced costing around $1100. New all 4 tires around $750 all season. Needed snows for winter, paid around $900 for 4. Multiple suspension components failing - creaking, clunking, rattling when going over small bumps and potholes. I guess it’s cheap? Uh uh, nope. I am no mechanic, but stuff braking down on this car is unbelievable. Every time transmission fluid is replaced on it, it smells like burnt wires. Have to open windows to let the smell out of the car. When it’s something simple like air filter, I do it myself to save some money, but speaking about the cabin air filter, it is in one of the stupidest places. Its on the left passenger side near the feet, behind the glove box. You basically have to remove the entire glovebox assembly to get access to it. For some simple repairs, I do it myself, with some instructions - replacing the MAF sensor, checking the fluids, replacing the headlight or taillight bulbs, checking tire pressure, changing the air filters, replacing a flat tire… I am also planning to replace the ignition coils on it too in another 10000 miles, on my own. It currently has 110500 miles. I would not recommend owning a Sentra, but it’s just my opinion. If you’re struggling financially like me, get a Toyota Corolla, much better choice, or any other Toyota or Honda. Nissan quality has gone down the drain. I don’t know what happened to them, but they need to return that quality work for cars they make. Because personally, I don’t want to see another Nissan again, until they bring that back.

  • @gii4886
    @gii4886 3 роки тому +10

    ALSO, if the Sentra won't go past 40 mph or it seems like you have reduced acceleration (with the exterior lights switch to on) check the taillight assembly for moisture accumulating along the inside!
    If so, you are going to need to replace the entire assembly to correct this issue.
    From what I was told, it shorts out the LED panel which misleads the computer in translation that the brakes are being applied while accelerating which why you have reduced power.
    I found this to be TRUE!
    I replaced my rear passenger assembly and I haven't had any issues since. . .I also believe NISSAN was cognitive of this because the next model that came out (along with the Altima) no longer have LED taillight assemblys.

    • @zach1009
      @zach1009 2 роки тому +1

      I just looked into this problem for my vehicle (2015 Nissan Sentra S), and you were right. My right tail light had moisture, I unplugged it, and it solved the acceleration issue. I was able to disable the brake light for now while I order a whole new tail light. Thanks for the advice because I was having trouble finding out why my car would not accelerate quickly when my headlights were on.

    2015 Sentra bought new:

    40K - Airfilter and intake vibration
    50K - Air Compressor failed
    70K - EVAP issues. Tube coming out of fuel tank leaking, mpg went down a lot. Replaced gas cap and then it was still complaining after that.
    Always taken to dealership and maintained as suggested. Shittiest car ever.

    Nissan recommends 60k mile Interval to replace the transmission oil, if you wait that much the transmission won't make it to the second oil change. I'd do every 20k mile. In addition of install an additional cooler for the cvt.

Two Nissan dealers near me confirmed that the transmission was failing and quoted me $4,450 for replacing. I’m mad as hell. I’ll never buy another Nissan and I tell everyone I know to never buy one. I should have bought a Corolla instead as I was initially planning to do.

    Reading a lot of the comments, I must be extremely lucky. i have a 2016 nissan sentra SV that i bought at 40k almost 5 years ago, now at 123k miles. It has been incredibly reliable, and has not been trouble at all. Struts finally went out(damn small town railroad tracks with deceptively large bumps leading to the tracks), but other than changing the brake pads and routine engine oil changes, nothing has failed me yet. The transmission seems to not wanna catch right away anymore when coming to stop signs and rolling off, but reverse and everything else are still tight, i just slowly apply the accelerator when coming out of stop which seems to help slow whatever degradation that is happening in the cvt til i can afford to do something about it. I must have the miracle sentra, considering the apparent nightmares other people seem to have with theirs. i guess morale of the story is, its not a hot rod, and treating it like such will be your own downfall.

I had the transmission fluid entirely changed at 60k miles and all the problems went away. I’m at 100k miles now and I have a motor boat sound in the front now that gets loud at 30 mph up to 60 mph. Some are telling me it’s a leaking exhaust or flex pipe and others telling me could be the trans again.

      Was the transmission replaced under the warranty?

      I have a 2019 and am worried because of the transmission. but I've noticed that a lot of people who have trouble with the transmission also don't do the maintenance. Then again some people say they have done the regular maintenance but they don't specifically say if they have done the transmission maintenance and they still have had transmissions fail.

      There was a class action lawsuit with Nissan regarding the transmissions. Do a Google search for class action suit Nissan Cvt transmission. There was a settlement done where they extended the warranty or reimbursed you for the repair on certain vehicles like these. The settlement was finalized 01/2020. I think this may be something you should look into. topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/closed-settlements/931402-nissan-transmission-class-action-settlement/

    Have 2015 Sentra. Car wouldn’t start @59351 miles it was a bad fuel pump. Was using chevron then switched to Mobil gas. That mite have been the problem. Change the front struts @63600 miles and rear shocks at the same time. Other than that car has been good. Every 30000 got the transmission fluid changed.

    I just replaced a 2014 nissan sentra evaporative core and the car is it blowing cold at its fullest i recharged ac so everything should work. Yet MAX ac button does not turn on. Pls HELP

      So the A/C works but its just the MAX a/c button that is not working? did you plug all the connectors back into the HVAC controller? also the MAX a/c button just places the vents to face setting and activates in-cabin recirculation so you dont really need that button to work as you could just manually do that by pressing the buttons.

    I have a Sentra 2015 model year which had sludge issue and did flushing already. But i feel the pick up speed is less while accelerating than before. Would it be affect engine life in near feature? what could be the solution to increase pickup speed capacity.
    Secondly A/c switch having issues while turn it on. when we put 1 till 3 it's not working at beginning when it moved to 4 air-conditioner starts... what could be the problem. does it required to change switch knob or full set of switch. Please assist me to know.

      +Ahmed Aslam Thanks for checking us out! If there is a build up of sludge that can definitely effect the engine down the road. We would recommend having a mechanic look into this issue and get it taken care of before damaging the engine. You may have a bad resistor causing the AC not to work on lower speeds. This is also something that may have other causes as well so troubleshooting this would let you know if you need a new resistor or the AC switch assembly replaced.

      Hopefully you figured it out by now, but this sounds like your blower motor resistor is blown out. Pretty cheap and easy fix. Hope it helps!
