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.

On 3 different occasions my 2014 Nissan Sentra has stalled and started on its own. I noticed that the RPM gage will look jumpy then it feels as the car is shaking then it stalls and within 5 minutes it turns back on. This has happened when at stop light in traffic and while in the drove thru it fast food restaurant. My concerns is im always driving with my kids in the car and what if this occurs when in a situation that can put my children and self in danger.

While at a stop light in a city street the engine went dead and the lights in the dash board lit up. After several attempts to restart the car I turned off the A/C and the car started up again. If this had occurred on the freeway a major problem could have occurred.

I never received notification that there was a recall on my vehicle. I was checking my online account and called for technical support and was told at that time. Nissan has all my numbers, address and two emails and I was not notified. The problem was fixed, but my concern is that I was not notified!!!

I was driving on the streets, about to enter the freeway onto South I-880 and I hear a bang. The driver's side window shatters inward. The city of fremont police came and inspected my car and didn't see anything that could've caused it. Incident history# P14101613 date: 12/10/14 time: 1710 hours the next day, my dad went to the Nissan dealership that sold me the brand new 2014 Nissan Sentra back in may of 2014 but the manager on duty said in his 30 years working there, he had never heard of such an incident (spontaneous glass breakage). Then, my dad went to another mechanic and he worked on my window today, 12/19/14 and saw that the metal that is used on my window was slightly bent. This was a manufacturing defect and unsafe for me to drive but the Nissan dealership is unable to help me. I don't feel that I can drive far any more because the metal is not fixed due to the manufacturing defect, I fear that it would happen again. It shouldn't be like that, especially since I bought a brand new car!
