I have a 2017 Nissan Sentra S. It's a 6 speed manual transmission stick shift. Me and my wife love our new Sentra that we purchased at the Nissan dealership. Car currently has 15000 mi on. Barely driven but brand new to us.
believe me, so many cars with transmission problems in UAE. I drive a 2014 sentra. But well maintained. Regular transmission oil and filter replacement is key. Unlike regular Automatic gear boxes which works ok even without oil replacement on time, CVT oil and filter changes are key for proper working.
I have a 2017 & I have had absolutely zero problems! I have changed the oil every 5K miles ... also the air & cabin filters at their respective recommended intervals. I’m currently at approx. 46,000 miles & as I stated... I haven’t had any issues & use it as my daily driver! I can attest to it being a very dependable car. The model I purchased brand new was the 2017 SR Midnight Edition & I can sincerely tell you it’s been good to me.
I have mine for 4 years. Just change transmission fluid every 30-40km. Also don't slam on the acceleration too hard . Jeez my 17 Sentra sounds like it has a wind turbine on first gear to second gear. Does anyone else think the engine is loud ?
I bought brand new 2015 Sentra Dec 2015 and I have just over 111,000 km. I was driving on highway and I could not accelerate past 120km. I took to Nissan dealership and was told to replace transmission. Warranty only covers up to 100,000km. They are charging $6,000
RE: your acceleration test. Next time, unpress the thumb button on the shift lever. Pressing it in keeps it from upshifting. I had a 2009 Sentra, CVT, with over 170,000 miles, zero problems. Loved that car. Maintenance done by the book. I now have a 2019 Sentra, CVT, with 33,000 miles. Initially, not happy with fuel mileage-down on the low 20s. Dealer performed an ECM update, part of a known issue TSB/recall, during the 30,000 mile service. Mileage back up into the 30s like it’s supposed to be. However, this transmission is different than my 09. I prefer the old one where I stomp on the gas, the revs get up to peak power and stay there, and the car accelerated swiftly. This new transmission tries to behave like the old-fashioned multi-speed slush boxes, simulating “shifts” as I accelerate. Nissan said they tried to satisfy those buyers looking for a more “traditional” feel to their transmission.
@@Therealpeter10 On my 2009, only once. (every 120,000 miles) On my 2019, I'm planning to do it under the "severe service" schedule every 60,000 miles.
I agree on getting the manual, they're hard to find in the US though. I only like to drive shift stick cars. I bought a 2017 sentra manual, and l love it, no issues whatsoever.
If your calling CVT tech new, you instantly loose all credibility. CVT are more reliable as there are almost no moving parts. They are more efficient and have been used for a LONG time in many different types of vehicles.
Nissan CVTs (or the ones made by Jatco that Nissan uses) are the ones that are not reliable and have many issues. Google it, they are know to just fail within 20,000 miles and need to be replaced.
Long story short DONT EVENT THINK ABOUT GETTING A SENTRA. I own one and I about to take it back to dealer before i start getting any problems with the weak cvt engine and trans instead go for Honda or Toyota. I will not get any NISSAN anymore.
My transmission went out at 50k miles on my 2014.. I took it in for a transmission fluid change to a local shop & not sure if the place used the correct fluid.. the transmission went out the next day, luckily it was still under warranty so the dealer fixed it( they could have voided the warranty) so not sure if it was the fluid exchange that caused it or just a bad tranny but now at 92k miles it's still running good
I'm not Nissan bashing, I have a Nissan Frontier that I absolutely love. (It has the older automatic. I'm waiting to see the reliability of the new 9 speed over time.) But just a few minutes research show that Nissan CVT's are struggling. I'm not sure what the present warranty period is, but at present I wouldn't own a Nissan with a CVT beyond its warranty period. Rent one at the airport, check. Lease one, check, buy one for the long haul, not thank you. Just my 2 cents...
I serviced my 2013 Sentra’s trans at 30,000, at 45,000 the transmission completely died, started as a shuddering when coming to a stop and now you give it gas and it doesn’t accelerate. Great gas mileage but man :/
As a 2017 owner of one it does feel different since im used to automatic transmission. The fact is that im not going to be racing with mine or even flooring it all the time. This video made its point by just just flooring it and not liking how it felt, plus its a rental so right of the back you know those cars have been threw much rougher driving than what an actual owner would drive.
Man. I dont know what you were doing.. but the car does not accelerate that poorly. Yes, the engine is under powered.. but I have no issues accelerating to speed quickly. Take note. You are in a rental car. Those things are treated horribly. But ultimately. I dont think you know what your talking about lol. 1.) i get compliments all the time about how comfortable the car is 2.) i often get 40 plus miles per gallon, and i drive the car hard for what it is. 3.)i believe most transmission problems that people run into are caused from a lack of maintenance on the tranmsission. Furthermore, when my car is out of warranty I will add a larger transmission cooler. They are available.
Estel McFerron It’s insane how people complain that the Sentra, a fuel efficient car that takes you from point A to point B, doesn’t perform like a BMW 3-Series.
Has your interior started to rattle under the glove box? I also had a hinge wear out in my back driver side door start rattling like crazy but they want $300 to replace it. The back interior where the speakers are started rattling really bad too ( it’s not blown speakers it’s the cheap plastic that surrounds them). It stresses me the fuck out cause I want to like the car but it’s so hard to like. Plus my transmission just started whistling at me like a week ago. It sucks I have 5 more years with it cause I’m over my head on the loan. Should have bought a Toyota or a Honda.
I have a 2017 sr...and i love it..its a basic car with a slightly sporty look....great on gas....its not a freaking 80 grand corvett....mt drives awsome and the sport mode makes u feel like ur driving a race car...with suspension tightning and acceleration boost..its just a fun cheap car to have....i love it.....
I got a 2017 Sentra and I got it back in February 2020 and started having problems with it around June 2020. I am still under warranty so I took it to Nissan, my transmission felt like it was slipping and shuddering but they said it wasn’t the transmission it was something else and week after picking my car up it started to do the same things again! I took it in again and now there putting in a remanufactured transmission with a decent warranty. I hope this will help because I’m ready to trade it in a get a new car.
I have a 2017 nissan sentra sv, had it for about 2 years and the only problem I have is a scratching sound coming from my air conditioner. And I smell exhaust coning thru the vents. Idk what the problem is. The scratching sound almost sounds like a broken DVD player lol does anyone know what the problem is?
Agreed. The acceleration Sounds like it's going to explode .I accelerate slow never fast on first and second gears or 30-40 km/hr. Also. I change the CVT transmission fluid every 40k. Yes. Take care of the transmission for the love of God! Because to replace or rebuild will cost 5-9,000 If your 2017 Sentra transmission stops working. Depends where you live Mines works fine. After 4 years. That's cause I treat it like a baby
My 2017 versa was doing that at 41112 miles I would switch into park and the transmission would kick and do a jerk noise and why accelerate it lightly it would jerk as well I end up trading it for Toyota Camry 2020
I had a Nissan Versa 41112 and I had to have problems with my transmission the car would jerk when I accelerate it and when I shift into drive it would make a clunk noise so I had to but another car a Toyota
Baba explain to me why in the UAE the roads are invaded by CVT and that you never hear anything about CVT issues here. I just drove a versa/sunny with 150k no issue one of my guy has an altima with 200k on it. Explain to me why in extreme condition such as the UAE tbe cvt are not much of a concern ???? Jatco is sending special top notch trans here, the oil cooler is mega-oversized ???
Just got letter in mail saying there is a settlement for these cars saying that the CVT is bad and they will extend your warranty but I have no warranty and leased the car from a dealer not Nissan so I don't know if I'm f*cked.
Back in October 2020 traded in my 2007 Sentra SL with 128,000 miles for a 2017 Sentra SV with only 32, 000 miles on it and made sure I got that extented wartanty, last week had to replace the driver side door handle which would have cost $355 for part and labor, just had to pay $100 deductible that was it..
Sentra transmission is very reliable it only needs someone who understands how to maintain and drive CVT. NO HESSEL. It is getting failed when we treat it like normal automatic gear through our driving style. It needs a soft padel and on time gear oil service. That all.
just bought a 2017 sentra SV. It's definitely different. I had no clue about all these transmission problems. Never driven anything with a CVT transmission. So I wait. I'm getting it diagnosed next week after a software update was done . If there are errors sent to the new software , I have a reference number and nissan will replace the transmission with a rebuilt one. (They dont put a new one). But I've also had issues with tire sensors. The yellow caution ⚠️ is maddening!! At any rate and once again just sit and wait.
I agree with you. You are so right. I wish i listened. Also they have problems with the exaust too mention that in next video. I may need get that replaced
@@Miguelsgarage ya but get real 3 transmissions. That’s not what I paid for. It’s an inconvenience all the way. forget the warranty they can take their shit back lol
I have a 2017 Nissan Sentra with a little more than 184,000 miles on it. I keep my car well maintained, and I haven't needed any major repairs so far. My check engine light came on a few days ago, and I was told I need a transmission AND a catalytic converter. It's still driving fine, so I'll keep an eye on things for now and drive locally.
I own a 2017 Sentra. I bought it at 40,000 miles the transmission was acting up around 70,000 miles. I had to replace it, now at 75,000 it went completely out. It was running smoothly no warning signs it just stopped working.
@@nsanahtee hopefully it does! I wonder if the last install was done incorrectly. Maybe the oil leaked out or something. It’s weird that it died with no symptoms. Good luck with the next one!!
I got an update, and they said the motor mount broke. Which if I remember correctly the differential disconnected from the motor. I think the transmission is fine though.
@@nsanahtee wow! How did that happen? Crazy to think you would have a catastrophic motor mount failure at 75k miles that would cause the transmission to stop working.
G H did you change your transmission fluid? I started noticing slipping on my transmission at 33,000 miles so I changed my transmission fluid, and that slipping went away, it’s recommend to change it every 30,000 miles
Bought my 2016 with 23000 miles for $6,000. Even if I have to change out a transmission it is still cheaper than all the other cars that were on the lot
It's not a hot rod. If you drive it gently, you won't have any problems. I have a 2016 with about 75,000 on it and don't have any issues. The best gas mileage for it is about 44.6
72000 miles on the transmission second owner had it flush that's 60,000 miles I plan to flush it every 25 to 30,000 miles the dealer said it should last a long time as long as I'm on top of it like a hawk
@@Miguelsgarage I do not accelerate hard I take a good 15 to 20 seconds to get to 60 miles per hour and I do not go above 65 I try to keep my RPMs below 2000
Hard to give much credibility to anything when there are so many errors. I don't have a clue who "Jarco" transmissions are, but there is a transmission company called Jatco, which did have issues with CVT's because they did them first...everyone has learned from their mistakes, including them. Second, Nissan and Renault are not merged, in fact the relationship they once had has fallen apart, ever since Carlos Ghosn left the company.
First of all, it's JATCO, not JARCO. I have had my 2017 for nearly 3 years with zero issues. No recalls, no warranty work...nothing. I have averaged 37mpg for the life of the car. I had a Corolla for 2 weeks while my previous car was being repaired from an accident. Rode like a truck and slow...very slow, even compared with the Sentra. The Elantra...thanks, but no thanks. Very cramped and loud car. While Hyundai touts its 10/100 Powertrain warranty, they make you jump through hoops to get anything covered on it.
Lakes Admin sounds like your defending your first car you ever bought it’s ok if you made a terrible purchase decision. But saying a Toyota is not built well you just lost all credibility when talking about cars. Sounds like that accident you said you had was really the transmission 😂.
Well I bought my 2017 nissan sentra brand new but I drive for Uber! I have 122k miles already..lol and I need new transmission.$4,000 I'm dropping it off tomorrow..but it has been a great car..
Something else that is in the same price range and class, get a used around 2014-16 VW Jetta SE. The tiptronic Automatic is great, and the engine is a Turbo 1.8 TSI, which is just a slightly lower displaced model of the GLI 2.0TSI, which is a great engine!
@@atx-cvpi_99 it's not particularly powerful, but fuel economical, and so far, 150k and all I've done is change the fuel and air filter and change the oil. Just get a 2014 or newer to not get the timing chain issues of previous generation engines.
I called 2 transmission experts and 1 person from nissan, and they said that the transmission problem had been fixed from 2016 but that on some vehicle there could be some problem with the acceleration but that do not break ...
I bought a new 2018 Sentra base model automatic transmission for $13,500 in October of 2018 . I think it was super cheap in price. Has about 32k miles already with no issues. Does that mean I got one that is not going to break down from the transmission? I’m getting worried now. Do the problems start early in the mileage or even after many miles of no issues?
@@michaelbattle6747 Nissan has agreed to settle regarding the defective units. topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/auto-news/931402-nissan-transmission-class-action-settlement/
These newer nissans were made and manufactured in i think mexico or china. The quality became cheaper. Where as the 90's models were as reliable as the 90's hondas and toyotas. Within just 10+ years, the mid 00's models are already rusting, and breaking down. The cvt transmissions are garbage. I love nissans, but i'm disappointed in these "newer" ones.
Nissan is aware of the CVT issue and has agreed to a settlement. Not all Nissan's are affected, and are a decent product otherwise. topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/auto-news/931402-nissan-transmission-class-action-settlement/
I don't recommend leasing either. Some CVTs are better than others. This one, not so much... Thanks for commenting! Please subscribe if you haven't. I really appreciate it!
My wife's 17 sentra turbo has 150,000 miles and the water pump just went out so no complaints here! She's the only one bitching about it smh ungrateful 🤷🏾♂️
viral golwala I understand your concern now... however, this car was practically new. It had just 26,000 miles and drove and smelled like new as well... trust me, there were no issues with the car mechanically or electric. The CVT on it is just pure crap! 💩
Ok so you don't like the cvt transmission in this. Whats wrong not like a sports car. For a basic driving its nothing wrong with cvt. Less moving parts is better.
@@viralgolwala4590 see my comments at 2:36 but in regards to the CVT transmission... Conceptually they're great! Infinite gearing possibilities, super efficient, but in practice, which is what matters most, they are HORRIBLE! Now, some companies are doing a better job at making the CVTs feel better. They are adding gears and they are managing those gears with software much better to where everyday driving feels and sounds better. You can make a car as efficient as you want, but if it blows a horn all day long as it does it, then people are going to have an issue with it. This is what happens here. CVTs are a very annoying horn on your ear and they do not feel natural, at least not the one in this car.
Congrats to your wife and wish you good luck with it, seriously! They are good value, but please keep an eye out for any transmission weird noises or anything out of the norm. Make sure to take in to the dealer right away. If they are playing it down, be sure to go to an independent shop to have it checked out. Again, good luck, thanks for commenting and please subscribe if you haven't. I really appreciate it!
It will be a great, reliable car for her. I have had mine for almost three years with no issues whatsoever. As with any car, keeping up with your maintenance is key to longevity. I have seen several of this generation with both CVT and over 200,000 miles on them.
I wish i watch this before i bought. They are no longer a good car. They have exaust problems. The transmision seems very iffy. Car is to low. I will not buy this car ever again
Sorry to hear that… it sucks that this happened to you. That’s why I make these videos to try and prevent people from getting into the wrong car. Please share it with others!!!
I rented a Sentra on a windy rainy day. Awful. It felt like it was swimming. I do like the backup cam. My 2000 Infiniti was in the shop. 253000 on my original tranny. 😆 I'm in the replace sensor stage of life of my tranny. Get a g35 with a manual drive it for a year. Fun times.
I'm glad yours is doing well! Make sure to keep up with the maintenance. Wish you the best of luck and thank you for commenting. I really appreciate it!
This car is a piece of crap, adding the worst transmission in history, this car is a rip off to anyone who use to be loyal to nissan. IT IS A RIP OFF CAR. THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T ASSUME ANY LIABILITY FOR A CRAPY TRANSMISSION THEY SOLD US AS A ADVANCE AND RELIABLE EQUIPMENT... MINE STARTED TO FAIL RIGTH AT 79K MILES AND GOT WORST EVERY DAY.

I had a Nissan Versa 41112 and I had to have problems with my transmission the car would jerk when I accelerate it and when I shift into drive it would make a clunk noise so I had to but another car a Toyota
Baba explain to me why in the UAE the roads are invaded by CVT and that you never hear anything about CVT issues here. I just drove a versa/sunny with 150k no issue one of my guy has an altima with 200k on it. Explain to me why in extreme condition such as the UAE tbe cvt are not much of a concern ???? Jatco is sending special top notch trans here, the oil cooler is mega-oversized ???
Just got letter in mail saying there is a settlement for these cars saying that the CVT is bad and they will extend your warranty but I have no warranty and leased the car from a dealer not Nissan so I don't know if I'm f*cked.
What dealer? Follow up with the dealer.
Back in October 2020 traded in my 2007 Sentra SL with 128,000 miles for a 2017 Sentra SV with only 32, 000 miles on it and made sure I got that extented wartanty, last week had to replace the driver side door handle which would have cost $355 for part and labor, just had to pay $100 deductible that was it..
Ain't no point having a safety features on the car if it's going to be in the shop all the time
God of destruction diecast Not once has my 2017 Nissan Sentra ever been in a shop? It’s been getting me from point a to point B for years
Sentra transmission is very reliable it only needs someone who understands how to maintain and drive CVT. NO HESSEL. It is getting failed when we treat it like normal automatic gear through our driving style. It needs a soft padel and on time gear oil service. That all.
just bought a 2017 sentra SV. It's definitely different. I had no clue about all these transmission problems. Never driven anything with a CVT transmission. So I wait. I'm getting it diagnosed next week after a software update was done . If there are errors sent to the new software , I have a reference number and nissan will replace the transmission with a rebuilt one. (They dont put a new one).
But I've also had issues with tire sensors. The yellow caution ⚠️ is maddening!! At any rate and once again just sit and wait.
Toyota/Lexus cvt have been bulletproof SINCE DAY 1. The fabulous Lexus Ls600hL has a cvt.
Corollas had a cvt recall
The 2018 re-designed Camry employs an 8-speed automatic which is having issues. Toyotas are no longer bulletproof.
I agree with you. You are so right. I wish i listened. Also they have problems with the exaust too mention that in next video. I may need get that replaced
On my 3rd transmission just got it back from the dealer today and it’s still broken
Geez... sorry to hear that... is it covered under the warranty at least?
@@Miguelsgarage ya but get real 3 transmissions. That’s not what I paid for. It’s an inconvenience all the way. forget the warranty they can take their shit back lol
If you’re in the states, we have lemon laws. Look into it in your states because it seems to me you would qualify.
I have a 2017 Nissan Sentra with a little more than 184,000 miles on it. I keep my car well maintained, and I haven't needed any major repairs so far. My check engine light came on a few days ago, and I was told I need a transmission AND a catalytic converter. It's still driving fine, so I'll keep an eye on things for now and drive locally.
How many of those 184K miles have you put on it?
@@Miguelsgarage I put 179,000 miles on it. My car had 5,000 miles when I purchased it.
I own a 2017 Sentra. I bought it at 40,000 miles the transmission was acting up around 70,000 miles. I had to replace it, now at 75,000 it went completely out. It was running smoothly no warning signs it just stopped working.
That sucks! Sorry you had to go through that. What are you going to do? Is it still under warranty?
@@Miguelsgarage Yeah it's still under warranty. I was hoping it'll last another five years at least.
@@nsanahtee hopefully it does! I wonder if the last install was done incorrectly. Maybe the oil leaked out or something. It’s weird that it died with no symptoms. Good luck with the next one!!
I got an update, and they said the motor mount broke. Which if I remember correctly the differential disconnected from the motor. I think the transmission is fine though.
@@nsanahtee wow! How did that happen? Crazy to think you would have a catastrophic motor mount failure at 75k miles that would cause the transmission to stop working.
I'm having issues with mine
Cvt
What happened what year and mileage
@@Anonymous-ji4sb did you drive it like a dumbass
G H did you change your transmission fluid? I started noticing slipping on my transmission at 33,000 miles so I changed my transmission fluid, and that slipping went away, it’s recommend to change it every 30,000 miles
Abraham Guerra is that the only maintenance for the transmission is changing the fluid?
Bought my 2016 with 23000 miles for $6,000. Even if I have to change out a transmission it is still cheaper than all the other cars that were on the lot
Outdoors Nevada Man how did you run away with that car for only $6000? I bought my 2016 with 40k miles for 10k.
Bo Kennedy possibly salvage for him/her?
Fuck I paid 16k for a 2017 at 47k
15000 for 2017 Nissan at 12000 miles
Buy a Sentra today and we will include an extra transmission for free
LOL
Yep true dat.
A friend of mine bought a 2016 Altima . He got a free tranny.
He's right. The transmission sucks . My 2017 sentra transmission went out and I've been renting 2019 sentra and guess that shit suck too
Sorry to hear that. Hope that is still covered under the warranty!
It's not a hot rod. If you drive it gently, you won't have any problems. I have a 2016 with about 75,000 on it and don't have any issues. The best gas mileage for it is about 44.6
How has it been latley
^?
Thanks for this video. I'm thinking twice about my 2015 Sentra thats already giving me problems at 92
72000 miles on the transmission second owner had it flush that's 60,000 miles I plan to flush it every 25 to 30,000 miles the dealer said it should last a long time as long as I'm on top of it like a hawk
Proper maintenance certainly helps!
@@Miguelsgarage I do not accelerate hard I take a good 15 to 20 seconds to get to 60 miles per hour and I do not go above 65 I try to keep my RPMs below 2000
Hard to give much credibility to anything when there are so many errors. I don't have a clue who "Jarco" transmissions are, but there is a transmission company called Jatco, which did have issues with CVT's because they did them first...everyone has learned from their mistakes, including them. Second, Nissan and Renault are not merged, in fact the relationship they once had has fallen apart, ever since Carlos Ghosn left the company.
Did he conclude this based on rumors without giving any facts?
Nope there's facts lol
My wife's has 60k miles no problems maybe because we drive it like its a slow car not a race car .
First of all, it's JATCO, not JARCO. I have had my 2017 for nearly 3 years with zero issues. No recalls, no warranty work...nothing. I have averaged 37mpg for the life of the car. I had a Corolla for 2 weeks while my previous car was being repaired from an accident. Rode like a truck and slow...very slow, even compared with the Sentra. The Elantra...thanks, but no thanks. Very cramped and loud car. While Hyundai touts its 10/100 Powertrain warranty, they make you jump through hoops to get anything covered on it.
Lakes Admin sounds like your defending your first car you ever bought it’s ok if you made a terrible purchase decision. But saying a Toyota is not built well you just lost all credibility when talking about cars. Sounds like that accident you said you had was really the transmission 😂.
Just bought this car today
C Roe just got this car yesterday
I get close to 50 in my Sentra 47.9 on all interstate on a 500 mile run 52 miles an hour with the cruise control
@@Consolethumbs It actually is the 20th car I purchased.
I want to know if it is safe to buy a manual 2014 nissan sentra or they also have transmission problems like the automatic cvt ones
No
Well I bought my 2017 nissan sentra brand new but I drive for Uber! I have 122k miles already..lol and I need new transmission.$4,000 I'm dropping it off tomorrow..but it has been a great car..
Something else that is in the same price range and class, get a used around 2014-16 VW Jetta SE. The tiptronic Automatic is great, and the engine is a Turbo 1.8 TSI, which is just a slightly lower displaced model of the GLI 2.0TSI, which is a great engine!
And also, that good midpoint between a Corolla and a Camry as far as space
1.8 TSI is garbage.
@@atx-cvpi_99 it's not particularly powerful, but fuel economical, and so far, 150k and all I've done is change the fuel and air filter and change the oil. Just get a 2014 or newer to not get the timing chain issues of previous generation engines.
Cvt is not a very good switch has problems with the transmision
2016 Nissan Sentra SR!! I got 136k miles CVT went out. Paid 14k for it and the transmission was 4K. Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla is the way to go.
2017 is actually a good year dont buy nothing under 2017 though
You sure?
@ziarmmal is my instagram. Join me for a lawsuit against nissan
I called 2 transmission experts and 1 person from nissan, and they said that the transmission problem had been fixed from 2016 but that on some vehicle there could be some problem with the acceleration but that do not break ...
I bought a new 2018 Sentra base model automatic transmission for $13,500 in October of 2018 . I think it was super cheap in price. Has about 32k miles already with no issues. Does that mean I got one that is not going to break down from the transmission? I’m getting worried now. Do the problems start early in the mileage or even after many miles of no issues?
Victoria M Just change your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles, you should be fine
I wish I would have seen this month's ago 2017 SENTRA TRANS DOWN 110K YOU WERE SO RIGHT. HELPPPPPPP
@@michaelbattle6747 Nissan has agreed to settle regarding the defective units. topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/auto-news/931402-nissan-transmission-class-action-settlement/
My transmission is starting to have problems at about 70k exactly
@ziarmmal is my instagram. Join me for a lawsuit against nissan
My nissan transmission sucks and its at his 40000 bad choice plus the dealer keeps saying it's all good 🤬
Ary, I like the style in the 2016 Sentra but is the cvt really that bad? Got to look cool.
Check Recalls, some have no solution. Also NHSTA has a lot of letters on file about the brakes.🚗
These newer nissans were made and manufactured in i think mexico or china. The quality became cheaper. Where as the 90's models were as reliable as the 90's hondas and toyotas. Within just 10+ years, the mid 00's models are already rusting, and breaking down. The cvt transmissions are garbage.
I love nissans, but i'm disappointed in these "newer" ones.
Nissan is aware of the CVT issue and has agreed to a settlement. Not all Nissan's are affected, and are a decent product otherwise. topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/consumer-products/auto-news/931402-nissan-transmission-class-action-settlement/
Cvts are for lease guys, not for anybody planning on owning one for 10 years plus 300000 or 400000. They have ruined a lot of good cars
I don't recommend leasing either. Some CVTs are better than others. This one, not so much... Thanks for commenting! Please subscribe if you haven't. I really appreciate it!
CVTs are for mopeds and scooters, not cars lol
I made the mistake of buying this car the Sentra but I think I would turn it in
I don't agree Sentra are nice good cars
Edgar MK I have one I love it
The ones with the CVT are junk.
@@atx-cvpi_99 Agreed
This was my first car and I started having issues 3 years in🤷🏽♀️
Me too esp the door handle. Now possible the exhaust pipe
@@KittenKodak my side panel fell off right before I got the keys ! Literally bought it new
I had a sv automatic I will never buy another one transmission went out at 62 thousand miles
It’s JATCO And is owned by Nissan.
Cvt are terrible feels like they're slipping
Me watching owning a 2017 nissan sentra sv:
Interesting
He didn't have it in overdrive. That's why the rev was high. Bout to tear it up...Lol
My wife's 17 sentra turbo has 150,000 miles and the water pump just went out so no complaints here! She's the only one bitching about it smh ungrateful 🤷🏾♂️
Don't give any your thoughts for rental car
I'm not sure I understand the meaning of your comment... If you mean that I should comment on rental cars, please do tell me why...
@@Miguelsgarage you give a review of a used rental car. Buy a car or lease it then give a review.
viral golwala I understand your concern now... however, this car was practically new. It had just 26,000 miles and drove and smelled like new as well... trust me, there were no issues with the car mechanically or electric. The CVT on it is just pure crap! 💩
Ok so you don't like the cvt transmission in this. Whats wrong not like a sports car. For a basic driving its nothing wrong with cvt. Less moving parts is better.
@@viralgolwala4590 see my comments at 2:36 but in regards to the CVT transmission... Conceptually they're great! Infinite gearing possibilities, super efficient, but in practice, which is what matters most, they are HORRIBLE! Now, some companies are doing a better job at making the CVTs feel better. They are adding gears and they are managing those gears with software much better to where everyday driving feels and sounds better. You can make a car as efficient as you want, but if it blows a horn all day long as it does it, then people are going to have an issue with it. This is what happens here. CVTs are a very annoying horn on your ear and they do not feel natural, at least not the one in this car.
Too late :(
N. G Had my Sentra for 2 months and I love it
N. G I actually really like the sentra
Spicy Shizz cvt box not recommended
@@n.g6524 agreed
I DIED LAUGHING WHEN HE SAID DONT BUY THIS CAR, SO FUCKING TRUE I SUPPORT THIS MAN
Love the support and the enthusiasm! :D thank you!
@@Miguelsgarage seems you are mostly replying to people supporting your opinion....
Not a way to seem honest though
What group is that music from?
Music: David Cutter. Listed in the description.
Flush the transmission once a year and you won’t have problems with the transmission.
Ok, your brain includes two parts, left and right. Your left brain has nothing right and your right brain has nothing left
My wife got a 2017 Sentra for 12k yesterday
Congrats to your wife and wish you good luck with it, seriously! They are good value, but please keep an eye out for any transmission weird noises or anything out of the norm. Make sure to take in to the dealer right away. If they are playing it down, be sure to go to an independent shop to have it checked out. Again, good luck, thanks for commenting and please subscribe if you haven't. I really appreciate it!
My wife just got one and it will be here today
It will be a great, reliable car for her. I have had mine for almost three years with no issues whatsoever. As with any car, keeping up with your maintenance is key to longevity. I have seen several of this generation with both CVT and over 200,000 miles on them.
MG B.K I just bought mine for 15,100 with 19k on hope mine runs as well as urs
Mine is the SR btw
I agree sad owner
Should’ve put it on sports mode smh🤦🏽👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I wish i watch this before i bought. They are no longer a good car. They have exaust problems. The transmision seems very iffy. Car is to low. I will not buy this car ever again
Sorry to hear that… it sucks that this happened to you. That’s why I make these videos to try and prevent people from getting into the wrong car. Please share it with others!!!
I rented a Sentra on a windy rainy day. Awful. It felt like it was swimming.
I do like the backup cam.
My 2000 Infiniti was in the shop.
253000 on my original tranny. 😆
I'm in the replace sensor stage of life of my tranny.
Get a g35 with a manual drive it for a year. Fun times.
He only talked about the transmission not anything else I say it's a great car
You should be with Scotty
Mine is amazing
I'm glad yours is doing well! Make sure to keep up with the maintenance. Wish you the best of luck and thank you for commenting. I really appreciate it!
This car is a piece of crap, adding the worst transmission in history, this car is a rip off to anyone who use to be loyal to nissan.
IT IS A RIP OFF CAR.
THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T ASSUME ANY LIABILITY FOR A CRAPY TRANSMISSION THEY SOLD US AS A ADVANCE AND RELIABLE EQUIPMENT... MINE STARTED TO FAIL RIGTH AT 79K MILES AND GOT WORST EVERY DAY.
BUYING OR REPALCING IT FOR A NEW ONE RUN AT NO LESS THAN $3500 FOR SOMETHING THE NISSAN MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE LIABLE, BUT DUE TO THE GANGSER LOBBY IN THE SWAMP OF HILL ON DC, WE THE CONSUMER ARENT PROTECTED AND THIS CRIMINALS FROM NISSAN ARE GETTING AWAY LAUGHING.
Nissan transmissions are the worse. Mine went out at 81k. What a piece of shit
Haha dang man
Too late
I totally agree with you. I'm renting this car this week & I wouldn't recommend this to anybody. It has a little over 10k miles & drives like crap.
Rented and google the rental:
NISSAN cvt is Garbage
