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 PURCHASED 2014 NISSAN SENTRA FOR MY DAUGHTER'S GRADUATION MAY 31,2016. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO FIX THE BRAKES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE SAID IT WAS THE MASS AIR SENSOR. ON OCTOBER 21,2017 THE CAR STARTED JUMPING WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO GET IN GEAR. ON OCTOBER 28, 2017 THE CAR WAS STARTED TO JUMP KIND OF HARD WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. ON NOVEMBER 1,2017 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING AND STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WAS DRIVING SLOW AND WHEN SHE TRIED TO PULL THE CAR IN THE GARAGE IT WOULD NOT GO. I CALLED TO HAVE IT TOWED ON NOVEMBER 2,2017 AND THE DRIVER PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND IT DIED OUT EVERY TIME HE SWITCHED GEARS SO I WAS INFORMED IT MIGHT BE THE TRANSMISSION AND I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITH IT BEING SUCH A NEW CAR WITH UNDER 50,000 MILES. MY DAUGHTER IS VERY DEPRESSED BECAUSE SHE HAS SCHOOL AND WORK. I AM PISSED BECAUSE I JUST GOT THIS CAR AND THE WARRANTY RAN OUT.

I bought this car on February 11, 2014 and have had one problem after the other. Everwhere I took my car they have told me that this is a lemon and I shouldn't have this many problems with a newer car.
