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.
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.
This is the second time I've had this issue. The last time I experienced it, my vehicle was at the "Nissan Affiliated" body shop for nearly 2 weeks for what should have been a single day repair. I can't hold that against the dealer directly, but it's certainly annoying. Now, the issue is coming back again. I'm quite tempted to just buy the trim piece myself and have a local shop even though it's technically probably still covered under the warranty.
