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.

Airbag passenger light comes on randomly and stays on from seconds to minutes. At times the passenger seatbelt light comes on also. It was reset by Nissan in January and only happened one or twice after they serviced my car. Had maintenance/oil change/tire rotation in April and the passenger airbag light issue seems to have increased significantly. Will have it serviced again this month and have the passenger airbag light issued addressed again.

Sometimes when the passenger seat is empty the passenger airbag is turned off. When a passenger then enters the car it does not turn the airbag on. The only way to correct this is to turn the car off and back on. This only happens when the passenger enters the car while it is still running. If you start the car with the passenger already in the seat the system works properly. This happens almost everyday. The Nissan dealership says this is known issue but does not know how to fix it. I know there was a recall for this issue, but my car is not on that recall.
