Transmission Failure
2015 Nissan Sentra (Page 2 of 2)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Nissan dealer.
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.

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
Back in 2016 my car started making a knocking noise in the engine. I already had issues with hard down shifting hesitation of the acceleration. Thinking I maybe had a nail in the tire I took to Firestone. They said tires were all fine they suspected it to be my bike rack. 1. The noise was coming back from the front not the back and 2. I took the bike rack off before going to confirm this was not the case.
I then took it over to a Nissan Dealership who had it all day long. They said nothing was wrong with it and I could come pick up. When I left the dealership to go back to work, the car would not shift out of what would be considered 2nd gear (so 40 miles an hour or so) Being on the Freeway with people going 70 made this very difficult. So I took it back and they kept it overnight. They said they needed the transmission light to come on so they could get the code from it. (this NEVER happened)
They finally ended up changing out the transmission and all was good.
