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.

When I am on the interstate and I am going between 60mph and 80mph my car starts to shake. The entire front of my car begins to shake and you can hear it as well. When I start to brake or slow down, it's gets louder and the shaking gets worse.
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Sentra. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle pulled to the right without warning. The vehicle was taken to billion auto Nissan (located at 3715 singing hills blvd, sioux city, ia 51106, (712) 560-4511) where it was diagnosed that an alignment was needed. The vehicle was repaired. In addition, while driving approximately 65 mph, the vehicle independently braked without warning, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal and was able to resume drive. The vehicle was later taken back to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 1,700.
Does not register correct gas miles. If I just filled gas tank and it reads that I can drive 258 miles on that amount of gas when ive only driven 25 miles it will tell me ive driven 100 miles therefore registering that I only have 123 mies left in gas, causing me to fill tank more than I probably need to and not really knowing how my much further I can actually drive. Ive taken photos that reflect miles driven to gas used. Also, car gains speeds when im pressing break to slow down/stop. Also, when I gently press gas pedal car speeds up faster than the actual gas im applying. Also, when in motion it makes sudden jerking stop when im pressing gas. Since day one tires seemed older than car. Im not sure if they were changed out at dealership for rotted/used tires.constant check tire light comes on. The driver seat seems like its been tampered with or changed out. When you sit in the car its crooked, leans to the right. Within weeks after I purchased the car ive complained to the dealership about issues car has, they claim all is fine with the car and dont seem to find anything. Wrong. Also your site says airbag recall on the 2017 Sentra, dealership tells me it doesnt pertain to my car. I feel its defective all around and im nervous driving it.
