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.

Sentra SR 1.8L V4

  • CVT transmission
  • 2,000 miles

A vibration noise can be heard from the passenger side door when driving at high speeds, or during a windy day. I've got a fix for this. It took two visits to the service center, but it was fixed. My service center left these comments: -Misaligned right front door -Adjusted RT front door -Adjusted sunroof glass They also ordered a part, but that isn't listed on my invoice. Should your service center need help or more information, my service center is Woodhouse Nissan in Bellevue Nebraska. I hope they are able to fix this for you!
