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.

When I accelerate from a greenlight the car makes a whirring noise. A great once in a while there will be a jerk. Then when accelerating to jump on the interstate, it hesitates when it shifts before 60 mph. On the interstate there are vibrations like the front end is unbalanced. I just bought this car with 45,600 and making payments. Luckily there is warranty, so I'll go up there as of tomorrow and have them fix the transmission along with other dumb issues this car has.
STAY AWAY FROM NISSAN!! Just because they are Japanese doesn't make them so great.
