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.
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.

My car was diagnosed by the dealership where I purchased my 2015 Nissan Sentra with a cracked, leaking sending unit at connector, plastic mold. There is no recall for the 2015 Sentra, but there is for the 2015 Altima and 2015 maxima for the same problem--a leak from the sending unit. I filed a case with Nissan corporation on either July 29 or July 30, 2019 but as of today, August 20th, I cannot get them to call me a work so I may discuss the problem. The latest runaround was a voicemail left on my home phone to call their arbitration at 615-725-7670 but it goes to a ring/no/answer. So I call the main 800-647-7261 on an endless loop, never being given the opportunity to discuss my case with anyone. The main customer service is answered by rude, unprofessional people.
Dtcs code PO101 keep coming up..it says replace mass airflow sensor... I got a sensor from the dealer....and clear the code. After a few days of driving it came back up PO101. I feel like vehicle is not moving. My foot is all the way down on the gas RPM is at 4000 and it not moving.
I was driving on the highway and the car would not accelerate past 60mph, once I got off the highway the car wouldnt accelerate past 20mph and the RPM would shoot to 4,000!!! I almost got hit making a turn because the car would not accelerate. The car only has 44,000 miles on it with no previous mechanical issues.

Starting on 1/23/19 then again 3/26/19 and on 4/17/19 code P0456 keeps coming on and I have also replaced gas cap still doing it. This has to be a recall of some kind.
Driving and engine light comes on. Took to auto repair shop ( second time, same issue). Mass air flow intake sensor goes bad. Safety issues as car can surge or stall while driving.
I was driving home and I had this problem twice yesterday on the highway driving about 65 mph pushed the gas pedal to the max and the car doesn't speed up the car started to slow down so I started to push the gas pedal more to speed up. Even that I pushed the pedal as far as possible the car did not speed up. I pull over on the right shoulder of the highway turn off the car and turn on again car then the car acted normally. I got home call the Nissan dealer and they told me to bring the car when I get there and the technician at the dealer do the analysis told me no codes been detected by the computer at the service dep. But he knows because I have one of my tail light crack there is a sensor that send info to the computer and that's why my car lose all the power in the acceleration. But he knows is the crack on the tail light and I need to change the light asap. I can be in a huge accident because of this sensor on the lights and is ridiculous car slow down but is not any light on at the dashboard of the car advising something is wrong with the car. If this is not bring to the Nissan im going to get a lawyer because is my life in risk if this happen again.
