I have a 2013 Sentra which we drove off the lot which now has 75k miles. Currently experiencing this after having had the alternator and transmission replaced. Coded P0101, a service bulletin to clean throttle body, replace my PCV valve, and reprogram my computer. Idle issue continues similar to yours, I've noticed that it mostly occurs when the fan goes on but I'm done putting money into this car which I've maintained through the years. Like you, I'm going for a Camry, but a Hybrid. :-)

I only have 85000 on my 2014 Nissan Sentra. I replaced the mass airflow sensor twice and the transmission within a year. Now my check engine light is back on and it’s the mas air flow sensor. I think we (the ones experiencing the same issues) need to file a class action lawsuit on Nissan. Mind you I purchased my Nissan brand new. I’m very disgusted in Nissan at this point.

I have a 2014 Nissan sentra SV. It original had 70 miles on it. I bought it new and have driven it everyday. I have put 70,000 miles on my car and have had nothing but great reviews about my car. Most of those miles are highway and interstate driving. I normally drive from Atlanta to Chattanooga and Nashville during those trips I average about 42mpg. I have averaged 44mpg before. I do full synthetic oil changes every 5000-7000 miles depending on what the oil looks like at the 5000 mark. It is unfortunate that what looks like a lot of you have had bad experiences with this car. I hope nothing catastrophic happens to this car. Knock on wood.

need maintenance cleaning on mass air flow sensor (MAF), Body throttle position sensor (BPS) and Idle AIr Control valve (IACV) you can even DIY. use CRC maf cleaner or any carburetor cleaner with sensor safe. just spray on it and leave for about 15-20mins and your good to go..

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I was going to purchase this car, but nope not no more Ima tucking with a reliable mazda 3

Had similar issues with my Mazda cz-7 Cleaned the connectors and changed the air filter worked like. Charm

I have a '13 sentra. bought it with 9 miles on it. I'm currently at 53,000 miles. literally not a single issue. I do all my own oil and filter changes every 3,000 miles and take it into nissan every 30,000 for a cvt flush. so far I have had 2 software updates and a throttle body recall. cost me nothing. I couldn't be happier. CVTs are higher maintenance. do your services at nissan exactly when the manual says and don't cut corners. don't try to drive it like an audi either. it's a gutless, economical commuter. it's meant to be driven easy. do this and the sentra will treat you right. I love it. wish I got the SR though

I've been driving mine for two years and no problems yet. I'm just glad I bought the extended warranty.

My transmission in my 2013 Altima went out at 41,000 miles last week. The dealer fixed it but I'm not sure how long this new transmission will last. Still under warranty but it sucks how unreliable nissans are now. Also when my transmission went, it went out at a busy intersection. Had to call the police to protect other drivers and my car . I got out of it and left it in the street until the cop came on the scene . He help me get it out of the street and waited for the tow truck to come . . I think it's dangerous how the transmission goes out with no warning most of the time .

I have a 14' Sentra sr it has about 71k miles, mostly highway miles. We've had issues with ours too. We've never had a problem with the idling but when driving rpms would go high and wouldn't shift until I let go of the gas and then it down shifts. We had the headliner replaced before warranty was out b/c it had rust spots show through out the headliner and the rust came back through the new headliner. We had the cv joint axel replaced twice. The airbag "off" sensor fixed but now it came back up. I hate the CVT!!! My husband drives it mostly b/c he works out of town. The gas mileage is good avg. 34 mpg. But this car is a disappointment. And we can't trade it b/c negative equity and we are not in a place to afford a higher payment. Errr.... never again will we get a Nissan!!!!

Those who are saying buy Honda and Toyota instead... Have you guys searched "Civic problems" and "Toyota problems", and you'll see videos like this too. Every manufacturers will have some rotten apples every now and then... Like Ferrari's catching on fire in the middle of the road... I have '14 Sentra SR and CVT runs smooth for a compact sedan...

sorry to see you had this problem I've owned a 2011, 13, 14, and now 2015 sr never had problems. I drove them hard did all kinds of performance mods and never had any issues. like I said sentras are great cars. every car brand has a defective car now and then you were just the unlucky one. best of luck with your toyota.

I have this same car also, when I first start it up I gets up to 3000ish rpm at literally 20mph. After going a bit over 40mph the rpms do go down to around 2200ish and the motor gets a lot quieter. Is this normal for a motor?

I just bought a brand new super sentra last month. When Im driving and give the gas at rpm 1000~2000, the car wheel appearing shivering, especially with air conditioner/on, and the shivering goes wilder at rpm 1000~2000 when I drive on a long slope or short slope. It's a good car fancy outside, and "rotten" inside.

I want to know if it is safe to buy a manual 2014 nissan sentra or they also have transmission problems like the automatic cvt ones

So what did dealership tell you about this problem? Did they end up fixing it? Hows the car now?

If it has one (1) idle air control valve?

am an mechanic and a car was brought to my workshop today with an issue like this but I don't no wat exactly is wrong with it,any idea may be I could use some help

engine air cleaner filter dirty? maf sensor dirty? did you do the 30k miles service ?

I bought mine with 7miles only replaced transmission at 30,000miles and another messed up transmission at 54,000 miles any suggestion what I can do?

ayo plz lmk does is have a backup camera or moonroof!??

I have the 2014 SV basic model. Is it normal that when you are in sport mode and go to slow down (not an sudden slow down) that the car has an extremely quick/hard downshift? It throws me a bit forward in the seat when it downshifts.

Nissan CVT transmissions are notoriously bad. I wish more people knew about it to protect themselves. Other brands have much more dependable CVTs.

So The problem was the transmission or something els and how did they fix it ??

I rented a 2014 Nissan Sentra back in 2015 only 23 thousand miles drove it to Tampa on New Year’s Eve on my way back to Orlando it started making a loud clunking noise halfway through the trip when we entered Orlando It got so bad I’m like OMG I think I’m not going to make it home! Dropped two of my friends off to their house. My last leg back to my home about 10 miles away it finally quit on me. I was stranded for 2 hrs as it was a holiday and the two trucks were few and far between. Next day I called the rental and asked them what happened to the car they told me the engine was blown. I’m like but how could that happen? The car never indicated it was low on oil or a check engine light never illuminated I mean nothing! I made a note to myself to never EVER under any circumstances buy any type of Nissan that was just plain ridiculous 🤦🏾‍♀️

What was your problem mines is doing the shut down as of right now it’s a annoying

Having the exact same problem and the transmission been replaced already and it only has 43k miles ...

Check coil packs? Might have bad one check them

I have a 2013 sentra and it those the same thing did u find the problom cuz i dont khown wath is the problom

I have a 2013 nissan and when you have the a.c turned on it turns off. Anyone have any heating gauge problems??? Because my car says that it's overheating and then the gauge drops

We just purchased our third Nissan and they all work fine even after many years in Alaska they all work fine

Have they solved the issues or gave you different car? I have 2016 Sentra at 35k Hopefully won't get me crap bcuz I got it as a brand new..so far so good

My Prius has CVT on it and has almost 200k miles. Recently changed the trans oil and it was like brand new. Btw I do my maintenance on my own

What kinda of Sentra is it a s or an sv or an sr

We gotta change the cvt fluid every 30k and install a cooler on to this transmissions that's what my niece did to her Altima and it's a 2015 just turned 80k no problems so far I got a 17 civic myself with a cvt hopefully it will be reliable

My Nissan sentra 2014 has been shaking after the engine sign came on, I have worked on the CVT twice, yet same problem. It just won't speed especially when driving through hilly place, you need to burn more gas. Please can any body help?

How is a car turning off a transmission problem?

I have a 2015 Sentra s, got it with 200 miles now it has over 30k I've had no issues with it, maybe cause it's 6 speed? Manual > automatic/cvt

With my 2014 sentra it was one of the tail lights that had a little bit of water that was affecting the transmission through the electrical system. Once the tail light was changed it stopped acting up. That was eight months ago.

Did you figure what the problem? Did you need your engine computer to be reprogrammed?

I have the same problem as you do. I had to replace my transmission once by the Nissan dealer; fortunately it was under warranty. I hope i don't had to replace it again or I'll just sell this car! Get me a car that have no CVT.

"Shit it's a cop dude"😂

I crossed over 100000 with my Sentra it was running all smoothly until it reached this milestone and now having similar kind of transmission problem

Nissan and those transmissions. Smh, I'm glad I didn't buy one as my first car. I'm sorry you have to deal with that though. I will say we consumers have the most important role towards Nissan as they'll get the hint when people stop buying their cars.

At least your car is within the standard warranty...a lot of these Altima CVTs like to crap out past the 60k mile, when they fall outside the warranty.

Did you solve the problem? What is issue

I fell your pain bro my car broke down twice with 6500 miles and I have to fix everything in my own expense.

Is that not a bad fuel pump??

I have a 2014 sentra and the CVT belt completely broke after 60k miles, and I never drive heavy... So they replaced the entire CVT.... with a " new " one. And now, when I drive down the highway, the overdrive randomly shuts off? Its crazy.

Is there any update? What is the fix

had the same problem, brought it to the the dealership and they reset a switch on the computer, stopped getting the high rpms and it rode smooth without the revving

158.000 on mine..No issue here..change both regular oil and trans...your good to go..

Hello, I also have a Nissan Sentra 2014, and it has started with similar problem. Did you solve it?

I just took my 2010 into the Nissan service department with less than 120,000 miles on it. My transmission is whining when I drive for about an hour when it's hot outside. When it's cold like now, it will not go past 20 miles per hour with the paddle all the way down to the floor after warming the car up over 30 minutes, after around 40 minutes of being warmed up it will perform like it's ok. I just posted a video showing what it does.

I also had the transmission fixed for my Sentra 😏. About last year. Or the year b4 that. I had previously taken it to the dealer for its usual oil change and complained about it not accelerating. I was told nothing was wrong, the next day it did not accelerate over 20mph when I was on the fwy! Scariest thing ever!

mine has the same issue. Mine doesn't die but idles rough as the rpm keeps dropping.

I currently have one and I’m about to get rid of it real soon. Today I experienced power steering issues. I only had it for a year and a couple months. Worst car I ever leased, I’m so done with Nissan

Same thing happened with our 2012 Nissan Rogue. We traded it in for a 2014 Toyota Rav4

Don't buy an American car they said. Buy a foreign car you won't have any problems they said.

I got the same car and having the same issues. Did you find out what was wrong with it?

So I just looked at a car tdy and it was a 2014 Nissan Sentra 104,000 miles .. my grandpas friend gets these deals on nice looking cars... he offering 4,500 but it’s salvaged ... bumper got hit but it was replaced .. mind u it will be my first car i will be using it for school and work ... does anyone have any updated opinions on the car ? I need help lol

Bro it's your mass air flow sensor, it needs to be cleaned

is that a gps?

is the lemon law still in effect on this car?

Mine is doing the same thing smh

Tnks man u saved my money i was negotiated to buy this car 55,000 mile on it with five grand i will skip It No thank you

My girls transmission went out on her under at 60000 miles

We also have same issues in Dubai it cost 5000dhs for repair and it's engine complainy

hi i have the same ptoblem in my nissan sentra 2014 and before 2 years i changed the transmission and 3 months ago u changed it too abd i hve problem that rpm

Frank I just experienced this same issue this weekend. My Sentra is at the dealership now. Did they replace it a second time? Powertrain warranty is only 60k miles. I wonder if the will cover these issues after the powertrain warranty!

I have a 2014 sentra sr I drive it 100 miles round trip 5 times a week have never had a problem !

Misfire?

I had a red 2014 Nissan, and it had all the bells and whistles, key fob, a backup camera, navigation, it had every option. I was a piece of shit, a hail storm came thru and totaled it out! I got a new 2014, with no bells and whistles just a 40 mpg car, it works like a dream no problems whatsoever!

I have the same problem but worse. It idles fine in park but when I put it in gear and start to accelerate slightly, there's a likelihood the car will jerk and stall. Once it warms up, you can baby the acceleration when coming out of neutral and when I get above about 1,200 RPM, the car accelerates fine and no signs of a transmission issue. I have 59,000 miles. On top of that accelerating issue from a stop, I had battery connection problems. Both terminals, when fully tightened, never really made a good connection around the battery posts. You could actually just pull them off. So when the car stalled, sometime I'd have to get out and play with the terminals. The other day, the fusible link blew a fuse and I used a screwdriver bit to bridge the gap to just start the car. Recently, I brought it into Nissan and after changing both terminal connections and wires, I don't have to worry about getting out of the car if it stalls. Nissan's determination of the hesitation ONLY AT LOW RPM is I need a new transmission. It feels like a air/gas mixture. I cleaned the throttle body and changed my PCV valve, my MAF, my air filter, and it's still the same. All the while there were no codes. I think it's a bad throttle body and/or its sensor.

do what i did. i traded in a 6 year old nissan frontier with constant fluid leaks for a toyota tacoma and never looked at another nissan vehicle again!

Were you able to fix your car or sell for another one?

A hose near the wind shield is blocked has hole the air is escaping and not touching the throttle button the transmission would just not even start or work at all!

I had a 2015 sentra and was very disatisfied with it I had a really bad accident that totaled my car so maybe it just wasn't meant to be.. I went to toyota and bought a 2013 se camry fully loaded very good choice I made

True my transmission went out

Hey man my car is doing the same thing and I got 38000 miles. It also does it in reverse. I'm taking it to the dealer tomorrow. I'm Curious to know what happened

That happened to me and it was the throotle that needed calibration

This is for anyone with a jumping RPM needle. Specifically, this happened on my 2014 Nissan Sentra in January of 2017, with only 70,000 miles on the vehicle if bought Nissan waist your money.

looks like a vacuum of some sort or a map going out

mine works fine

I have driven a late model Sentra before. Much better off driving a Subaru though!!

Got a 2014 with 16000 miles on it and has no issues

I have the same problem... 2 transmission at 60000

Your car have ECU problem. just repair ECU. change coil plug and plug if needed.

Nissan is full of crap! How are they continuing to get away with this! Smh... I will never buy a Nissan with those crappy transmissions.. who wants to invest all that money into a vehicle that’s powered by a hamster in a wheel!?! Ridiculous

I'm dealing with this right now... I have a 2004 and its been shutting down on me... Its stuck on the other side of town because it did it yesterday... My idle is doing the same thing... I'm already 600 dollars in the hole trying to find out what's wrong...

Did anyone with a manual transmission have this problem ? Or is it only on automatic?

Sad.. I have 2014 nissan sentra sr.. The idle remain still no up n down.. Het machine to check for any code.. Good luck..

cvt sucks. traded a rogue for a 2014 fusion and the fusion hasnt given us any issues

My 2017 doing it right now second time going back I’m pissed

Lol who else hear the whisper of the that lady on 3:55 she said don't say what you planning to do on the dealer. . Lmao we know what you wanna I need refund I need my money 😅😅😅

The CVT transmission the all the NISSAN cars is crap. It is unreliable and about 30 - 40K the CVT transmission is already worn out. WFT. All CVT transmission fluid must be changed on a regular basis. Honda CVT can to a long time, especially when you change the fluid. NISSAN just have crappy CVTs

My suggestion: don't buy a sentra with automatic transmission (CVT) . I got a SENTRA 2017 with manual transmission, and l haven't had any issues with it.

I have changed a transmission and after a few miles breakdown again , and now its dont wana even starts really very bad car shame on nissan

I have 2015 sentra and i have a similar problem and now i can't even fix it nor sell it, the CVT transmitting is just junk

My car does the same exact thing
