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.

problem #1

May 152014

Sentra SV 1.8L

  • CVT transmission
  • 26,000 miles

From original purchase vehicle vibrated at stops. Dealer raised the idle. Vibration from front end felt like a tire, after 3 sets of tires in 3k the vibration started at highway speeds and felt like there were no shocks. Now the vehicle vibrates and shakes from the transmission on accel and has caused dashboard. On accel the vibration is worse. Fells like a possible constant velocity joint. I am a retired master Mechanic and have never had a problem like this in 40 plus years. As the vehicle gets older it deteriotes and is a piece of junk. From Air Bag Lights and trim for seats falling off as well as seat recliner failing. This is definitely a throw away vehicle after 18 months.

Gas mileage is good but on accel the engine is loud. It seems that every, day the vehicle becomes more of a P.O.S.
