Headlights Brighter Under Acceleration

CarComplaints.com Seal Of Avoid Like The Plague

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.

2014 Nissan Sentra Owner Comments

problem #1

Sentra SV 1.8L

  • CVT transmission
  • 10,000 miles

While accelerating onto the freeway at night or just in general... accelerating at night, the headlamps would increase in overall brightness. So significant it looked like I had my high beams on. It was not from torque squat, but some weird electrical gremlin. Took it to Dealer. Could not duplicate, brought video evidence to dealer. Unable to determine repair. Traded car in for 2015 Altima.
