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.

AC takes long to cool and then just blows air. I'm the only owner. I shouldn't have this issue on a brand new car. Spoke with someone I know that has a Nissan one year newer than mine and their's is in the shop for AC repair. Coincidence...I don't think so!!

Sentra 1.8L

  • CVT transmission
  • 40,000 miles

On my 2014 Sentra The A/C will blow hot for about 10 mins. and then start cooling down after awhile but then it will blow cold for a bit but the fan speed will speed up and slow down on it's own. It's not auto speed fan and I have checked all the coolants and Freon levels. Can someone please let me know what I can do about this. I live in AZ so it's freaking HOT!!!!

Sentra SV 1.8L

  • CVT transmission
  • 9,000 miles

While driving down the freeway, the blower speed would randomly increase and decrease. The car does not have auto climate controls, it is manual hot/cold knob. Speed/RPM did not matter. Took it to Dealer. Could not duplicate, brought video evidence to dealer. Unable to determine repair. Traded car in for 2015 Altima.
