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.

I had purchased my 2017 Nissan Sentra (used) two years ago, and noticed the clearcoat paint now peeling off a good portion of the front quarter panel. I brought it to the dealership where I purchased it (was then told that I could call a Nissan dealership to "see what they could do", and that it wasn't covered under warranty, and would cost approximately $400-$500 to fix the quarter panel paint). I asked for a phone number to a Nissan dealership, and when I called, they told me I had to call the body shop (I had to Google the phone number for their own body shop), then when I called there, I was told I "had to go through the dealership". I told them that their dealership told me to call them (I got nowhere...)

I don't think that paint (clearcoat) should be peeling off a car that is only 3-4 years old.
