CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013-2017 Nissan Sentra has an expensive CVT transmission failure defect that shows up plainly in our complaint data from the earlier model years in this same 7th generation Sentra.

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.

The vehicle has so many defects!! that I don't know where to begin"!?; but firstly I want my money back for the exorbitant expensive interest rate they charged me...!!! then they added my deposit into the total cost instead it subtracting it from my total!!!?" the upholstery inside us coming up from the floor almost months into the purchase. The defrost doesn't work..the electronic part that affects the automatic door on the driver's side; the door wont open from the inside passenger! the pedal area where the carpet is coming up..is exposing the underneath of car same with other areas but flooring carpet is extremely loose, and exposing wires. The driving electronic feature for winding roads it keeps coming on and won't shut off; I could have been killed!!!! it turned on multiple times on freeway slowing me down & I turned the button.on the feature...it still wouldn't turn.off...!!!, the wipers are not working well at all and haven't since I first bought the car. The driver's side panel that has control of windows and unlock..it is coming off already!!! I don't have anyone in the car but me so it's definitely not me!

My sunroof exploded randomly as I was driving home from taking my daughter to school at about 7:30 am on 10/23/2018. I was driving straight on a local highway going about 55 mph. I heard an extremely loud boom above my head. I pulled over in shock thinking that a bomb had gone off near me. I was confused and alarmed to find that my sunroof had completely shattered. There is no evidence of anything hitting my car.

I was driving on I-49 in Louisiana traveling at 70 mph when I hear a loud noise, like a gunshot. I realized my sunroof had shattered. The cover was open at the time so glass fell into my car, and in my lap/hair. I did get a few cuts on my hands from the glass. I don't think anything hit the sunroof, it shattered spontaneously. The dealership says I have to go through my insurance company to get it fixed.
