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.

Exploded sunroof I woke up one morning to a completely shattered sunroof. The sunroof was blown up. I called the insurance company and they explained they never heard of this happening before. I also contacted the Nissan dealership in which I purchased the vehicle from and they also never heard of this happening before. I was asked to drive the vehicle to the dealership which then the sunroof then blew out. When I arrived at the dealership there was a hole in the sunroof. I got most of the damage covered by my insurance but this should of been covered by Nissan as this is a defect in the sunroof.
