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.
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.
It's just bad manufacturing assembly, when we had open and we found in the transmission missing a magnet collector on the bottom plate. We started checking all items piece by piece, we found the piston in the body valve is made from light material and it was damaged too from a metal chip. I thinking this is probably big cause for early damaging the transmission.
