CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013-2017 Nissan Sentra has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data.

In late 2019, the CVT defect was subject to a class action settlement. However the settlement only covers transmission repairs up to 7 years after purchase or 84,000 miles (whichever occurs first).

Because many owners commonly drive 20,000 miles/year or more, Sentra owners experiencing CVT transmission problems may find they are not covered by this settlement due to the mileage limitation.

While backing up heard a bang sound. Started driving the suspension light came on, passenger side front wheel broke from the ball joint causing the axle to break, tie rods to break and CV arm to break. I have read too many problems online with Nissan Sentra with the ball joint breaking. Nissan should have a recall or be sued. I was only going 15 mph. If I was on a highway this would have been horrific. I do not trust this car anymore and I only had 39,800 miles on it. Hoping to trade it in.
