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.

2016 Nissan Sentra Owner Comments

problem #1

Sentra SV

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,000 miles

This is a continuing problem! It was fixed once by the dealer in the form of replacing the entire gauge cluster. It then happened again a few months later. Condensation from A/C and/or temperature change and humidity builds up on the inside of Part # Instrument Panel Lens

248133YU1A.

When I took it back to the dealer to fix it the second time (under warranty), they refused to fix it. I have since found that I have to regularly remove the Instrument Panel Lens and wipe it down or mold builds up inside the cluster. The gauge cluster is not sealed and humidity and temperature change causes this constantly and it is more than a PIA to continue cleaning.
