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.

I have Nissan Sentra 2013, 10200km run already, purchased from first owner. I noticed that the part shown in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCenSvOZNlk&t=118s) in my car with 2 bigger ports are open and below one is always wet with oil. Remaining 2 smaller ports are connected with pipes. I have a leak every night around 1-2 drop underneath my car. I doubt this oil coming from this open pipe since I saw it wet. I 've asked garage technician why these two are not connected and why oil dropping? He replied it is old cooling routes and not required, and oil is dropping due to some residual oil remaining in the open pipes I am not satisfied with his answer.
