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.

The contact owns a 2016 Nissan Sentra. While driving approximately 25 mph, the brakes malfunctioned while approaching a stop sign. As a result, the vehicle drove into a busy intersection without incident. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (nalley Nissan, 2551 the nalley way, atlanta, ga) where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder failed due to a ruptured brake line. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 56,000.
