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.

In honesty, purchased the 'S' model Sentra brand new. As soon as we purchased it, when my wife would accelerate, or press the brake, my wife would hear a fairly LOUD creaking noise in the middle of the vehicle....like it was ready to break in half or fall apart. We read an exact same complaint about this vehicle, from another carcomplaint.com member/subscriber. Obviously it appears there is a manufacturing defect/was a problem on their Mexico assembly line.
