Any suggestions.....I'm assuming the alternator but I'm not sure it's a 2019 nissan sv 1.8L ....i just jumped it and it started and I let it run for over a hour. Triple A said the battery was good starter was good but the alternator wasn't putting out power. Could it be a fuse??
My 2014 Sentra is about to hit 90k, it’s been a really good car. Drive sensibly and keep the RPM below 4K, they hold up pretty well. I change the cvt fluid every 60k and use sport mode on hills.
What fluid do you buy to change it
I’ve had everything in this video and more repaired/replaced in my 2016 Nissan Sentra S. Thankfully all was covered under the manufactures warranty, extended warranty, and power terrain warranty. 🤦🏻♂️ I’ve been a loyal customer of the Nissan Sentra brand since their 1996 model. Gone are the days of Nissan being considered a reliable brand. I finally learned my lesson. I will buy Nissan no more.
Thank you - yes I like all the information I can get before I take my car for repairs or replacements.
Never had those problems. My Sentra is well built. Thanks for sharing.
🤣they must screwed up that day
You probably were the best student in your class, you are extremely knowledgeable...I must subscribe , thank you
I have a 2014 Sentra and I’ll make sure to keep a eye out for these
Thank you, we have in our family and have replaced the mass airflow sensor already so this video is very helpful !!
I enjoyed the video sir! Although I do not own a Nissan I brought this particular video up because it addresses some issues that I’m helping someone with! I follow A1 auto Because it is a great and reliable source of information for many vehicles! Thank you for all that you guys at a1 auto🇺🇸👍
Had my 2013 for 2 years now. Put about 30 thousand on it. No issues. But I changed the exhaust system, tire size and put a better breather on it.
I bought a 2019 sentra in 2019 brand new. I have stuck with the dealership ever since. So far no issues except recall. Nosafety issues or stalling. It's currently at 39,000 mile range
I've made a lot of bad decisions in my 37 years on this planet, but I would have to say that buying my 2014 Nissan Sentra would have to be the worst one of all.
Wait, I have a 2014 Nissan Sentra, what issues were you having (and about what mileage did you get them at, if you happen to know) I'm at 64493 miles I think
@@Yuyiyo911 the transmission always ends up messing up eventually in my experience
I can 100% agree. I have the same exact car and the same exact problem! The transmissions are AWFUL
I totally agree with you, my wife owns a 2013 Nissan Sentra and it started with p0101. Only 30k miles on it and it’s already going bad.
Mine is already 140,000 miles no problem whatsoever since 2013, its how one drives and how you take care of your car.
2019 since 10/16/20 replaced MAF… need rear struts/shocks $385.28-Alignment notice wear of front tires $129.95- i’m at 104,029 Fuel GDI -$139.95 and Tune Up -$321.80 and couple of new front tires ..🤔… wishing i had the strength in my hands to replace coils and spark plugs seem pretty easy to do . I once replaced a window motor in a Dodge Durango and replace the headlights … these videos makes life easier affordable and give you info you need when these shops try and tell you how much work they put in for some of these services
My wife's sentra of this vintage only had the first 3 problem. 1st one we just cleaned the maf but we do have to change the pcv valve, cvt in ours was replaced by the dealer at the 42k mile mark and the new one is going strong at 97K miles. We replaced all struts and the front mounts twice. But the front mounts still make a pop noise on the first turn and it goes away. Other than that, it's been a rock solid reliable car.
That car is not the one to buy when you talk about transmission problems sir noooooo thank you appreciate the video 🤙🏽
Thank you planning to buy 2015 in 2 weeks
Well thank you for sharing all of this with me....just AFTER my wife and I bought a pre owned 2018 Sentra.
I wondered why we got such a deal on it
Should have watched this before buying
I got a 2013 Sentra used back in 2017. The CVT transmission failed at nearly 40K miles. Thankfully the car was under warranty. I do regular maintenance on it all the time. I take really good care of it as well--never did any rigorous or stupid driving behavior in it.
Another issue with this Sentra would be the wheel bearings would come loose. That happened to me as well, but thankfully it was under warranty.
My 97 pathfinder still running like a champ. 23 yrs old nissan!
+chewpaeng12 Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the video! I have 135k miles on my 2014. Replaced the struts as a regular maintenence item at about 100k. Haven't had any of these issues...yet anyway lol
+A Guy and His Projects Thanks for checking us out and the feedback!
Im at around 80k with my 2014 right now. How much did it cost to replace the struts? Hoping to keep this bad boy for at least 5 more years, no issues so far.
Check out partsgeek for the shocks and struts. They have the whole assembly pretty cheap from kyb and they ride well
How much did the OEM nissan struts cost each? I just went to the dealership yesterday and he quoted me $965.00 for one strut ? This is for 2013 Sentra with only 39, 120 miles.
@@mca2642 I usually change it every 30k or so miles just cause these cvt transmissions run hot and burn up the fluid fast compared to regular automatic transmissions. If you just take care of it it will probably be alright
My Nissan Sentra 2014 has 85,000 miles. Currently dealing with MAF sensor issues which I think I got it fixed, around 45-50k miles the AC failed, luckily I still had warranty and saved over $3000 in repairs! Those were the only major issues I have had and hope to not get any more.
I had a MAF code pop up on mine, but after changing the sensor the car still will not start.
Have you gone through something similar?
This is well made and informative
Ive had a 2013 6 speed brand new till now and its been an amazing car! I'm really thinking of getting the nismo edition.
+OsnoF Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
how many miles?
I have the sr turbo fun car got the CVT as well tho
1999 honda civic problems
1) Clear coat failure
yep, that's it
Dude my eg and ek civics were always my most reliable cars. Great cars, great gas mileage and CHEAP to fix anything. Hell, you can find replacement single cams for 400 bucks.
I had a 99 Honda Civic Coupe. Car would shake and vibrate once I accelerated from a stop. Ended up being the starter clutch kit. Problem solved.
Worst car I've ever bought, but awesome video and explanation! Thank you!
+SCORPIO Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
What issues have you experienced?
Totally disagree with you!!!!
Strongly Agreed. So far I've replaced transmission, struts and the AC system. Will never buy a Nissan again for LIFE.
@@saurin00 the car is awful, I agree. 47K miles and I already had to change the transmission. I’ve also have had constant MAF sensor problems, intake air duct vibration, and just driving in general is not that great. NEVER driving again
I traded in my 2017 Nissan Sentra SV for a 2017 Toyota Camry LE. Best decision I've ever made. I'll never own another Nissan again 😤😒
+Christopher Pate Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Yeah, having owned one before, I won't be buying another.
They're not from the same category!!!! Camry VS Altima
I have the same car , 😭
How did you trade it in?
The windshield is fragile too. My 2017 had quite a few chips in it from normal gravel off of trucks on the highway within weeks of owning it. My 99 civic tanked a lot of north eastern hail with no chips or cracks.
AC issues where sometimes the ac doesn’t blow cool unless you turn the knob to hot and then back to cool.
Noise from the passenger window when driving at high speeds. (Happened both before and after i installed in-channel rain-guards)
Squeaky doors. Have to keep a lil wd40 around because it gets really annoying.
Squeaky brake pedal. The brake pedal needed some dielectric grease on it the day I drove it off the lot new because the pedal itself squeaked when moving it, as well as when pressing it. Brakes were good but just touching the pedal when the car isn’t in motion made it squeak.
Terrible radio display. NC has had some hot summers since I bought the car in 2017 but my display is already failing. Dim to the point it’s unreadable in direct sunlight or in the shade. Restores itself after a few hours of cooling down but, again, my 99 civic didn’t have this issue with its display and it’s also had its fair share of hot NC/Virginia summers.
Knock on wood, no transmission problems yet aside from a total of 3 random jerks when shifting gears since I bought the car. Scheduled maintenance done on the transmission, cvt fluid included.
I’m definitely trading it in for that new Maverick when they start getting them in stock. Have not heard any bad things about Ford’s cvts.
Glad i saw all these comments. I was looking into a 2014 sentra. Hell no! I ain't touching that s**t
Nice video. Don't forget the fusible link and general connections to the battery.
I am owning a Nissan Sentra 2014, I think am the 3rd owner and still drives smooth after reaching 183kKM. I have heard from different mechanics to get it replaced with another car, due to having a CVT transmission. If Nissan really makes a CVT transmission that fragile and weak, they might lose lots of customers.
That goes for manual too?
@@yokev_5611 no the manuals are fine.
I have a 2014 sentra. These transmissions are so bad, there was a class action lawsuit. Sell it or trade it in for a Toyota. Toyota have the best transmissions made by the best Japanese company called assine.
@@yokev_5611 mine is a manual with 140,000 miles since 2013, no problem whatsoever.
My 2015 sentra had a transmission replacement at 45000 miles lucky it was still under warranty. No other problems yet and it is almost at 95000 miles.
If your sentra model 2015 how still under warranty!
How many years have warranty the Nissan sentra
The problem with the transmission is that the fluid gets really thin in the summer, I think if it had a better cooler for the fluid it would have less problems.
I had a 1998 p11 primera with Nissans first gen cvt as far as I know. I changed the fluid every 30000kms and it finally gave out at 297000kms after 10years of ownership. Hyper cvt was def known to fail quicker than the modern xtronic so take it how ever you like but thrash a cvt and never service the transmission then don’t expect longevity.
If Nissan doesn't do something about those terrible Jatco transmissions they are not going to survive.

Renault has killed Nissan.
Honestly I am surrounded by CVTs in the middle east and no issues.... there are more problems with Magna altimax transfer cases on BMWs than the CVTs
I think Nissan would rather go down with the ship than make changes to the transmissions.
I change my transmission fluid every 40k miles hoping it could survive a little longer than average. i do know they tend to die around 100k maybe even less. right now i'm at 45k.
Just got a 2015 Sentra with 70k miles on it pre owned. Happy to say that I have a bumper to bumper up to 100k miles and a lifetime powertrain warranty.
Read the contract thoroughly...these companies aren't in it to lose money.
Definitely good and short. I will get the shocks from you
My 2017 sentra has 159,000 miles, bought it new, and I've only replaced the fuel pump at 159,000 miles. I think the suspension is very noisy even since new and it has some electrical issues. But it runs smoothly and no CVT issues so far.
@@mca2642 every 30k, mine just hit 169k
Yes the suspension makes a lot of noise.
same here, no issues at all. trans fluid changed and still strong at 153k
I have 190k. only plugs and shocks replaced. Excellent car.
Great video mate. I have Sentra 2016 almost 3 years , I had one MAF sensor and cleaned, also I had problem with top strunt and replaced it. So far I'm happy with this vehicle as spare parts are cheap

How much miles?
Gracias informacion colega saludos desde. Mexico🚙🔧👍😃
My 2017 has been a good one I bought it new in 2018 haven’t never had any issues other than the noise coming from windows when on highway other than that mine never gave me any issues at all and very very excellent gas mileage best I ever seen
Sell it and run away as fast as you can before the transmission fails.
Lol I get that same noise too!
Do you know why that is?
You make it all look so easy 😑👍🏼
My dad says his 2017 cvt fluid is leaking. I’m going to check it for him this weekend. Probably just gonna get new fluid for him. A pan gasket and the 2 filters and hope that will solve the leak
I have 2014 Nissan sentral, bought used at 20k km, now it has 210k on it, still run Strong. It is very reliable only u knew how to drive CVT transmission. Overall happy with my purchase, I do my oil change every 10k and trains fluid very 120k.
Hello. I need some positive comments like this. I just bought one Sentra 2014.
Thanks for sharing ☺️☺️☺️
First class video
I recently got a 2018 Sentra with 56k miles, it’s my first car. And since driving off the lot every time I accelerated or decelerated, I heard a clunk. So I took it to the dealer yesterday, and they gave me bad news. I need a brand new transmission….
The good news is that it’s covered completely under the warranty. It’ll take a week so they gave me a loaner car for the time being.
Don’t forget the P0183 Fuel Temperature Sensor issue. My 2019 Sentra started to have this issue after 46,000 miles in addition to the Mass airflow sensor.
Love this thanks

Nissan Sentra 60k miles, no rough driving or heavy loads. Seems a LOT like transmission issues…. But, im hopeful that this tune up will correct the issues.
Catalytic Converter!
My Nissan Sentra 2015 100k miles was always slow to accelerate, but during a trip in the hills of Pennsylvania it broke. It wouldn't go past 60 MPH. I think it was sold to me with a bad catalytic converter. Here is my story:
I had the MAF sensor P0101, changed the sensor. Nothing.
Took it to the Nissan dealership, and they wanted to change the Throttle Body Control. I changed it myself. Nothing.
I changed the PVC valve even though it was working properly. Nothing.
I changed the filter. Nothing.
I took it back to the Nissan Dealership and they said "Brake booster." I agreed to pay the $1600 even though I knew damn well it wasn't the brake booster.
Then they come back with, "It wasn't the brake booster. But we found out it was the catalytic converter. We took the catalytic converter off, drove around with it, and it works fine. Your catalytic converter melted inside and is restricting the flow of exhaust. So we'll only charge you $2000 for both the brake booster and the catalytic converter."
Right now am having a issue with the transmission 🤦🏾♂️. My first visit to the dealership told me that the transmission wasn't a problem, but my second visit told me it was. So am getting a second opinion. Wish me luck
I have a 2013 with 66,400 miles, just got it, hopefully it’s reliable enough, im more of a Honda or Toyota Guy, but the price was fair, my gramps always said “As long as you do maintenance you’ll have a ever lasting car”. The transmission does suck hella bad, I’m so used to driving my trailblazer, but that crap gave a lot of problems.
+Manny M. Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
How’s the car holding up? Just bought a 2013 today at 107,000 miles
I just bought one with 80k miles too
Mine just went out with 900 miles from 100,000
@@Eyekno710 want to know an update on yours bought one 123K miles 2014
Thanks guys, yet not sure why you would even think we consumers would or even could tackle these repairs. Next,are these problems frequent? I have a 2016 Sentra that is not exhibiting any of these issues, yet going on a road trip in July from Florida to Maine and back. Suggestions? Thanks.
Thanks for the info
I had to replace the air diaphragm in mine because CarMax tried to replace it with a cheap aftermarket one. Got an OEM and it's been driving fine at 58k miles. Also I have it with a 6speed manual. It feels like Fisher price garbage with the electric throttle body, but it's way better than a CVT
Had a 2007 Nissan Versa: 240,000 kms on it. Missed reg maintenance a few times but never had a single issue with the CVT ...Actually may have been second most reliable car I have ever owned (1997 Toyota Paseo #1)
+Ben Burleigh Thanks for checking us out and taking the time to comment! 1AAuto.com
Mine was doing 280k km , when I sold it out
Really? I just bought a 2014 sentra since my sonata is getting up there on age and mileage ..I'm nervous from seeing all these videos and comments ..is there any thing u can suggest to keep mine safely running ..I have grandparents and dont want them getting hurt in my new car if they use it..or myself esp since I'm always on the road for doctor appts
Haha I have a Paseo now
My 2007 Altima was probably the most reliable car I had. No major problems whatsoever and had the car for almost 13 years!
I have a 2014 Sentra. I am always trying to keep up with maintenance on it. I have a lot of service records on it. I had to have it towed to the repair shop several times. First was the PCV valve throwing MAF codes. Car would start and then shut off immediately after. Second was the rear wheel brake cylinders exploded leaving a pool of brake fluid under the car, had no brakes. Had to tow it to the shop in a hurry. The third time what happened was when I got to the shop for routine maintenance, the mechanics found both control arms cracked, had them replaced for $1500. Been in a minor accident twice with this car and total repair bill for this car was over $9000. Aside from other problems like AC completely failing, had to replace an HVAC hose and the compressor for $1350. Both struts and shocks were replaced costing around $1100. New all 4 tires around $750 all season. Needed snows for winter, paid around $900 for 4. Multiple suspension components failing - creaking, clunking, rattling when going over small bumps and potholes. I guess it’s cheap? Uh uh, nope. I am no mechanic, but stuff braking down on this car is unbelievable. Every time transmission fluid is replaced on it, it smells like burnt wires. Have to open windows to let the smell out of the car. When it’s something simple like air filter, I do it myself to save some money, but speaking about the cabin air filter, it is in one of the stupidest places. Its on the left passenger side near the feet, behind the glove box. You basically have to remove the entire glovebox assembly to get access to it. For some simple repairs, I do it myself, with some instructions - replacing the MAF sensor, checking the fluids, replacing the headlight or taillight bulbs, checking tire pressure, changing the air filters, replacing a flat tire… I am also planning to replace the ignition coils on it too in another 10000 miles, on my own. It currently has 110500 miles. I would not recommend owning a Sentra, but it’s just my opinion. If you’re struggling financially like me, get a Toyota Corolla, much better choice, or any other Toyota or Honda. Nissan quality has gone down the drain. I don’t know what happened to them, but they need to return that quality work for cars they make. Because personally, I don’t want to see another Nissan again, until they bring that back.
The only issue I had with my 2017 was bad o2 sensor at around 1.5k miles. Now I have 30k not a lot but I drive it every day no other issue
One you didn't mention is the tail light fuse usually need changing too seen many sentra with this issue
The number one thing to avoid problems in these cars is to buy one with a manual transmission. I bought a '16 with 32k miles and she's at 168k miles. Just standard maintenance and one time I cleaned the maf sensor.
That was very good i have one them nissan sentre
Thank you
Thanks
My Go To Mechanic That Doesn't Take My Wallet For A Ride>>> Thanks Again!!
I had a 91 Nissan Maxima that i bought brand new. My co-worker at the time kept saying Nissans didn't last many miles. That Maxima SE was the one of the smoothest and best driving cars that i have owned, but just as my old co-worker said, when it hit 90,000 miles,it went into self destruct mode. Transmission, oil leaks, electrical problems like windows, transmission interlock, etc, etc. That experience soured my affinity for anything Nissan except the small trucks. Every Mechanic report i have read says they are unreliable and give big problems when they get mileage.
Thx 4 sharing

If you suspect that you have bad spark plug coils the reader will tell you which one. Mines just got coded for number 4 and I was able to replaced it along with all my spark plugs.

My 2015 Nissan Sentra SV transmission just blew at 45k miles in the middle of the freeway and almost caused a terrible terrible accident that could’ve ended mine and my sisters life. Seriously wanting to trade it in and get a Toyota/Honda.
Toyota an Honda use the jatco cvt transmission as well. Not all cars but some of them.o
These are the worst cars car rental companies have gotten in the 2010s CVT issues and throttle body issues All types of problems with these cars 🚘 Thanks for sharing
needed a new passenger side strut at 57k miles. was covered by my warranty. $100 deductible and $90 for the alignment and lubing my axle
They lubed your axle alright. You don't lube these axles, they are greased and shouldn't need grease added as they are self contained with a boot.
The cylinder head is new and I changed the radiator too...for a few days water was pouring out of the thermos after turning it off, then I changed the radiator lid and it was fixed, but now my water pipes are swollen.
Having an issue trying to set egr monitor on mine any input or advice on how to set it
Well I helped myself on the transmission front I suppose I bought the 6 speed manual version. 🙂
I have one as well. The only problem I've experienced so far is the mass air flow sensor.
For all the issues the Nissan CVT era has had since 2007, their manual transmissions have apparently stayed solid throughout.
I got a manual too!
Electrical cleaner can clean the MAF sensor just fine, just make sure it dries before reinstallation
Bought my 2015 Nissan Sentra brand new. Around 30k miles car would jerk and shake a bit during acceleration and if I hit 80 mph on the freeway the RPM’s would go up and down. Pretty scary. I had the transmission fluid entirely changed at 60k miles and all the problems went away. I’m at 100k miles now and I have a motor boat sound in the front now that gets loud at 30 mph up to 60 mph. Some are telling me it’s a leaking exhaust or flex pipe and others telling me could be the trans again.
Awesome video. Very informative. Two thumbs easy up!!

Sometimes i want a modern car but i see this video, more i love mi sentra 1992
I'm a Nissan Technician. Ecm update pretty much always fixes the P0101 code. Yes the Cvt's have issues. I've never seen any strut issues with them, I've never had an abs code on one, and I have never had to replace a coil on one. Just my 2 cents for working on them for 5 years.
What would cause my 2016 sentra to buck and rpms jump when traveling on an incline between 90km and 100km? It dont always do it, mainly after driving for a while, seems to be fine for the first hour of driving.
Nissan recommends 60k mile Interval to replace the transmission oil, if you wait that much the transmission won't make it to the second oil change. I'd do every 20k mile. In addition of install an additional cooler for the cvt.

I'm going to buy one
How'd it go
My Church just "Gifted" me a 2018 Nissan Sentra SV, 1.8L 4cyl., at our Christmas Service on the Dec. 3rd; how cool is that, right!!! WOW! I went from a Grandma Dodge Grand Caravan(2005) to this! Quite the difference in the "drive!"...lol...I DO have an "OLD" Racing Background and typically like to "tinker"; change my own Oil, etc. Probably NOT this car; I'm used to working on OLD Race Cars; Camaro's, Chevelle's, etc....so, I "understand" quite a few things when it comes to cars; but not so much with these newer models; I know my Dodge WELL; mainly because of CZcams and "experience" in fixing it or mostly having "someone" else Professional, fix it; I'm clueless when it comes to this Nissan; I took it to the local dealership and all's they wanted from me was a total of $775.00 for all this "preventative" maintenance for it; I just smiled and then left. I didn't want to be rude, but NO WAY! LOL....just because I'm an old Granny doesn't mean I'm stupid; ....the car "does" have some issues I'm concerned about; one is the transmission. It "surges" sometimes, meaning, the RPM's have shot WAY up as I was just puttin along at 10-15mph....I pulled into a business parking lot, pressed HARD on the Brake, put it in Park; then put it back down into Drive; it hasn't done that since; not sure what that was all about but the trans slips alot; I went into Advanced Auto and the "seasoned" Gentleman told me to buy some Lucas No Slip fluid; he says it helps alot of cars with that stuff; I use Lucas Oil when I change my Oil in my Van, so I'm already a FAN of the Products....I've not heard of this "slip" stuff before, tho.....any advice for this old lady?
ALSO, if the Sentra won't go past 40 mph or it seems like you have reduced acceleration (with the exterior lights switch to on) check the taillight assembly for moisture accumulating along the inside!
If so, you are going to need to replace the entire assembly to correct this issue.
From what I was told, it shorts out the LED panel which misleads the computer in translation that the brakes are being applied while accelerating which why you have reduced power.
I found this to be TRUE!
I replaced my rear passenger assembly and I haven't had any issues since. . .I also believe NISSAN was cognitive of this because the next model that came out (along with the Altima) no longer have LED taillight assemblys.
I just looked into this problem for my vehicle (2015 Nissan Sentra S), and you were right. My right tail light had moisture, I unplugged it, and it solved the acceleration issue. I was able to disable the brake light for now while I order a whole new tail light. Thanks for the advice because I was having trouble finding out why my car would not accelerate quickly when my headlights were on.
Nice video..but you forgot to mention how the passenger side axle will snap and leave you stuck at the red light .. it just happened to one of my customers I'm waiting on her right now
+Ainge The Mechanic Thanks for the feedback!
After carefully watching this guy in the video, I still have no clue what he did other than remove the battery and point the lousy camera at a hose while his hand wrestled with something beneath the battery stand.
Bravo man. Time for me to go look for another repair video. 🤨😡🤬
I have this car, the 2015 one just got it fixed and it broke down after 2 weeks, I can't take this nissan car anymore know need to get transmission fixed again😁
Owned 2015 altima, 2015 sentra. Both had cvt failures in under 80k. Morale of the story, stay away from any nissan with a cvt transmission like the plague.
Yup 2014 sentra transmission failure at 60k miles. Was told that they did a recall that i missed by 2 months because they admitted notices were delayed because of covid. They covered 75% of it.
Did you ever change the fluid?
2015 nissan sentra owner. 6 years later still no problems.
You expert missed it:
Wheel seed sensor codes can be created by low brake pads in the rear!!
Don’t ask me why. I just observed, checked and LEARNED!
+pepeshopping Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.
I wanna ask why so bad tho
I got this car as a daily for school, I’m ocd so I did a deep clean in the engine bay I removed the manifold and air box etc to do some cleaning after installing it back I got a few codes and CEL LOL I removed the MAF cleaned it with maf cleaner and cleaned the harness, CEL went away after that, oh also after disconnecting the MAF harness I saw that it would not clip on the MAF, I know I removed it gently had me thinking I damaged the harness, it was weird so basically if you added it back it would slide but wouldn’t lock, affter some messing around I locked again who know if this threw a code.
Thank you .the transmission stalled on me once

What about one with manual transmission? Are they good?
I love Sentra. No issues yet. 73000 miles
+Nicholas Adkins Great! Thanks for the feedback!
Just wait lol
Key word: "yet".
Lol hahaha the car barely has any miles on it lol reply back at 115,000 miles when your CVT transmission fails; then you join the class action lawsuit against Nissian trying to get them to replace the trans. If they don't its about $4,300 and only a 12 month 12,000 miles lol
Sell while you can, friend has a 2013 one , 102,000 miles and his transmission went out. A lot of money to replace it.
I got lucky with my 2013 Nissan Sentra. The CVT Transmission went out at 70,000 miles and they wanted $4800 for it. They said they would go in half with me to replace it. I found out there was a class action lawsuit and ended up getting into it and got my money back.
