Sureng/shopclassgirl:
 
I have the same prob w/ my 2010 Sentra SR. You described it exactly!
I went to the dealer to test drive another Sentra, it had signs of the same feeling around 20mph. It really is annoying, and wish i had taken longer test drives on the back streets. On the highway its awesome, just don't do any city driving, or around town.... about 70% of what i need it for.
 
I've had a few episodes w/ it..
 
#1 transmission range switch failure.. replaced.
#2 TCM short.. replaced. <9K mi symptoms: The car would start up and not display the gear on the dash board. shifting thru the gears wouldn't change the display. I had to turn off the car, and try it again. When in this state it would drive horrible. The problem is intermittent and sometimes causes a check engine light, but the last few times they haven't found the codes stored. I'm hoping that replacing the TCM has fixed this..

b0bbert, I'm sorry to hear of your similar troubles and the even further difficult issues you seem to be experiencing.
 
I hope all of what's been replaced is at least covered at no charge, under warranty, as would be expected. I truly hope you get everything finally taken care of. And most of all, I wish we, and the rest of our family of "Sentra Suckers" fare better in our next auto choices!
 
My latest issues are when I'm bearing left while going downhill, I get this almost knocking sound coming from the left rear, like in the strut, or possibly a bearing. YES, they said tech found nothing and everything looks normal! If I hear "it's normal" again, I'm going to go "abnormal" and hit something! The auto industry is the biggest rip in this country and the car makers know once you drive off the lot, you're stuck and their job is done. I can't stand it. Lawmakers find such other meaningless things to fight for, yet the business practices among the auto dealers will always go without a second look.
 
The quality I once associated with Nissan was definitely NOT put into my Sentra. That's seriously unfortunate!!
