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.

Brought the vehicle into the dealer to ask about an oil change and mentioned the issue. Service didn't even seem concerned and couldn't give me an estimated time to repair without leaving the vehicle. I have already diagnosed the issue to be a squeaking noise from within the blower motor, so the fix is the replace the motor. This is a vehicle I use for work, so leaving it at their shop to tell me what I already know is unacceptable. All I wanted to know was how long it would take for a part to come in and how for it to be installed once it was there.
