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.

Nissan posted a new recall for Nissan Sentra (17V-253 recall date: April 13, 2017) however they have not actually released parts for this recall and will not for several more weeks. They are misleading the public that there is a fix for this airbag issue when in fact there is no current remedy.
