CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013-2017 Nissan Sentra has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data from the earlier model years in this same 7th generation Sentra.

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.

2016 Nissan Sentra Owner Comments

Nissan Sentra 2016 model - GCC spec is not really suitable for winter in Dubai. Every winter my car starts to have trouble, mainly Engine check light & complete loss of acceleration. 10 months back, I replaced ETC Module and Accelerator pedal for the same trouble, but because of engine check light my car is not drivable. None of the Youtube videos & tricks helped me to reset the warning light. Authorized dealer in Dubai is suggesting me to replace the CVT transmission & gave me a quote of 12000 USD!!!!

I'm not sure Nissan is worth buying again. It really is the worst experience with Nissan as a single owner bought new and maintained properly with regular services.
