CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013-2017 Nissan Sentra has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data.

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.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The contact owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra. The contact stated that the TPMS warning light kept illuminating intermittently. The contact constantly had to check the tire pressure. Although the dealer reset the code, the failure recurred for longer than six weeks. The contact stated that at least three or more times, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road the second time the failure recurred, but there was a strong hesitation as if the vehicle may stall again. The vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced several times. The dealer replaced the transmission three times and indicated that it needed to be replaced a fourth time. The contact was concerned that the failure may recurr intermittently even if the transmission was replaced again. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 17,000.
