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.

My 2014 Nissan Sentra has issues with acceleration. At various times even with the accelerator full pushed down, the car will not accelerate and will eventually slow to under 20 mph even on a flat surface. Nissan has repaired the issue once, but now will not respond to my correspondence in regards to the issue, now the car is out of warranty and is having the same issue, I have less than 45K on the car. In addition, the tails lights are retaining moisture, I have read that this may be causing a short in the electrical system and may be the cause of the problem. I am afraid to drive the car and it is now parked in my driveway. This has happened multiple times and the problem still remains unresolved. Mileage at the first incident is approximate, but it did happen less than a year after purchasing the car new.

Car was purchased on March,2014, we have replaced the all 4 tires already, bearing and strut needed to replaced, the battery died, which was replaced on Tuesday April 19th, 2016, by pepboys, because Nissan did not cover it. We have radio problem. Sometimes the car does not pick up the key and does not start. Sometimes the indications on the dash board such as mileage, gas mileage goes blank. Also my radio stops and the navigation system does not start. Radio has been fixed 2 times already. The biggest concern is the mechanical problems, because even with a new battery that is 2 days old, the car does not start sometimes. Also courtesy Nissan in richardson Texas refused to help us with any of this, even though we bought extended 100,000 mile warranty. Car has 40,000 miles on it now. At the time these problems started it has 36,000 miles. I also found information online, that is this car is recalled, however when I call Nissan they said it was not. I have a one year old and if this car is unsafe, Nissan should acknowledge that.
