Power Steering Light On, Can't Steer Or Shift

CarComplaints.com Seal Of Avoid Like The Plague

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.

I'm so annoyed, I used the car all morning, went to go to a party and couldn't shift out of park, dashboard lit up like defcon 5, with no power steering.

I had to use a screwdriver to override the shifter.
