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.

Sentra SR 1.8L

Passenger Airbag indicator was always on. When I checked with the dealer, they charged $150 for diagnosis and suggested changing the passenger occupancy sensors which cost me around $560 including labor. Overall I had to shell out more than $700 to get them replaced.
