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 contact owns a 2016 Nissan Sentra. While driving 70 mph, the contact heard a loud whining noise coming from the vehicle. In addition, the vehicle would veer left or right off the road. The contact regained control of the vehicle and resumed driving, but the failure recurred. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to petro Nissan (located at 6248 us-98, hattiesburg, ms 39402, (601) 450-1470) where it was diagnosed that the door gasket caused the noise and it needed to be replaced. It was not determined why the vehicle veered from left to right. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and opened case number: 33045074. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000. The VIN was not available.
