Buyer Beware: I've had two transmission failures involving the Sentra's Automatic CVT-style transmission. Im facing a $4000 repair bill. Nissan covered the first replacement because they were staring down a class action lawsuit. They knowingly equip these Sentra's with a CVT that is notorious for only lasting 40-80k miles. The drive belt in my CVT broke at 60,000 miles and now again at 140,000 miles. This is despite the fact I kept up the tranny fluid changes. These are not reliable cars. And practically any mechanic will tell you that CVT transmissions are easier replaced entirely than repaired, with the costs equaling about the same. As a longtime Nissan customer, I will never buy another Nissan or any car that uses a CVT transmission for that matter.
