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.
Just bought this 2013 Nissan Sentra February 2015 and already the transmission has gone out. I took it to the dealer only for them to tell me they have no idea what's wrong with it....but test drives it and completely agreed it's the transmission! I find it hard to believe, since apparently I'm not the only one....that the dealer can't detect a transmission problem!!! It's a very costly fix...I have three children, a family to provide for and can't do that because I have no car to rely on. It's a horrible thing what these dealers do to their customers. Very sad...
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE OTHERS......If I drive down a hill the RPM start revving up and the needle starts getting out of whack just jumping up and down, I have sent in the car to get it fixed and they keep telling me the same thing, that there is nothing wrong with it. AND ALSO I drive it on a normal road and the RPM is going up to almost 4 without even changing gears, I have to press OD off and on several times to get it to change gears
Update from Jan 11, 2016: I changed the hub and wheel bearing but still problem, I now have 44600 miles on it and have decided to trade it in. This car has too many problems...Lemon
I see the problems listed here on this site and they mirror mine exactly. Shuddering on takeoff, and progressively getting worse. When will @nissanusa acknowledge this failure? Unbelievable!
If I drive down a hill the RPM start revving up and the needle starts getting out of whack just jumping up and down, I have sent in the car to get it fixed and they keep telling me the same thing, that there is nothing wrong with it. Yet they keep it for 1 week and a half at a time. This last time I got it back now I drive it on a normal road and the RPM is going up to almost 4 without even changing gears yet.
