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.

While approaching a red traffic light it turned green and I accellerated to the road speed of 40 mph. The next traffic light turned red and I took my foot off the gas pedal but it didn't come up and release, the car continued to go. I used my brake and slowed the vehicle to a stop. The light changed and the gas pedal was still stuck down. I made a left turn as I know that road is long and would get me out of traffic. In the middle of the turn I heard and felt a loud pop and the gas pedal finally released allowing me to brake properly and stop the vehicle. Had my newly licensed 17 year old been driving, he would have had an accident. There needs to be a recall to see why this car's gas pedal won't release!! I am waiting for a tow truck now.

While driving the Nissan at about 45 mph, I tried to let up on the gas pedal, but my shoe was caught on the base of the console, which delayed my ability to decrease my speed.
