2013 Nissan Sentra consumer reviews

I just bought a 2013 Sentra SL. After buy8ng it I read some very bad reviews, regarding extensive repairs, costing thousands. I'm a low income, retired Senior, so this is all bad news to me. Mostly concerned about the issues they have had with their transmissions. My vehicle has 78,000km. Should I be worried!?

This car was a ticking time bomb the moment I got it. The car would idle roughly when I was stopped at a red light and the check engine light was always on due to some fuel failure (I changed the MAF twice and it didn't clear). One time, it completely shut off while I was waiting to turn left into a parking lot. The previous owners failed to note the front, passenger side window doesn't roll up and the airbag sensor wasn't working. The nail in the coffin was the car failed to accelerate up the hill to the speed limit when the light changes from red to green. I traded that thing in. I did not want to deal with a hefty repair bill.

I bought a 2013 Sentra new in 2013. The tranny and the engine just went at 141K miles. I dropped a newer engine in (only 36K miles on it) and a brand new Nissan tranny. Cost me $6,900 for both at the Nissan dealer (including labor), but now I have a practically new car. It’s my baby. It still looks showroom new, inside and out.

I bought my 2013 nissan in 2019 from a private party. They were the only owner. Everything was fine until 2022 at 120,000 miles the CVT transmission went out and I had to pay $4,019 to fix it. The transmission that replaced this one only has a 12 month warranty. Looking at information from other people there is no way of knowing how long the transmission in these cars will last because they are total junk. I will never buy another car with a CVT transmission.

I have a 2013 Nissan Sentra had to replace Air condition problem air bag sensors n now I have problems with transmission n it doesn’t have guaranteed because of the miles

I bought a brand new 2013 Nissan Sentra SR (1.8 w/ CVT transmission) that totally failed at 70k. I was in college and this car totally ruined my life, as I was depending on it for commutes to work and college. Nissan refuses to honor warranties and priced me at 5k for replacement. I replaced transmission and within 2 years, the new rebuilt transmission is now revving out at 30-35mph and shakes terribly. I will never own another nissan again, total disposable hunks of garbage!

We've had this car since new and except for a recall we've kept up with service and it's been a wonderful vehicle and I'd purchase another one

CVT went bad at 69,000 miles (had intermittent issues that in hindsight indicate bad CVT) and Nissan won't replace being out of warranty by date although it is good for 84,000 miles

CVT broke down at 104K miles. I have to spend $4500-$5000 for replacement. This car is really driven. Is Nissan reimbursing this cost? CVT Issue Yes

Transmission is bad. At 95,000 took it in and said it was jerking I thought transmission they kept it 10days said joints were the problem waited on special grease drove it maybe two more than now it’s the car transmission and I’m over warranty. Nissan didn’t care. 17,000 and just reached 100,000 Toyota Subaru Honda Kia all get 200,000 plus The Government should make them do a recall. I can’t afford to get this fixed or another vehicle driving a 2004 jeep with 250,000 miles now watching my 2013 just sit
