I’m not sure what Nissan did, but this car is horrible from the ground up. The ride and drive is beyond bad it’s one of those cars that you just hate to drive but you have to because that’s what you purchased. I’ll start with the seats and they are just so stiff and uncomfortable that you feel like you’re sitting on a punching bag filled with sand, your feet have no legroom whatsoever and I’m only 5‘11“ so you literally have to stick them straight out as if you were sitting on the ground. Head room is so limited you can barely get in and out of the car and the steering wheel is basically useless to adjust to make this any better. The vibration inside the car and the road noise is also very annoying as that you have to take a rag and put it in the cupholder to keep your soda from shaking and making a rattling noise because of the poor design. When I first purchased the car I just assumed it had an out of balance tire so after multiple attempts to balance with no luck, I purchased new tires yet the car still continues to shake to this day. Another issue I’ve had is the AC has no low speed it pretty much blows wide open on the lowest setting. The worst issue I’ve had is the headlights randomly go off at night and you have to wait sometimes over an hour before they’ll come back on. The dealer has yet to be able to fix this and has no clue as to the cause. The car pops and cracks as you turn going over any kind of uneven surface, which is extremely annoying. At 60,000 miles it’s developed a hard pull to the right and other models in 2022 have had the same issue but this one apparently doesn’t fall under the recall that’s been issued. I could probably go on and on but I’ll end with this note…. my 16-year-old said can I take the old Sentra which is a 2011 model with over 200,000 miles because I hate the way it drives you know it’s pretty much a failure or a car.

We meticulously maintained our 2014 Nissan Sentra including changing the transmission fluid at 30k with genuine Nissan CVT fluid. Despite our best efforts the transmission failed out of warranty at 66k. The cost to replace the transmission was $5k. We donated it.

Great car for commuting. Have high safety scores which I tested on March 30th. I was hit from behind at 50mph and I walked away. My 2022 Monarch Orange/Black Sentra SR was shortened by 3 feet front and back. I just bought a 2023 Gun metal/Black SR Premium to replace the 2022. Best small car I driven to date.
