What owners report
Complaints about this model year center overwhelmingly on the continuously variable transmission (CVT): owners describe slipping, hesitation, loss of power at speed and repeated replacement. Engine and speed-control complaints often describe the same symptom — the car revs but does not accelerate, sometimes with a check engine light. Many transmission reports arrive between roughly 60,000 and 110,000 miles, while several engine and stall reports come at higher mileage; a separate group concerns the glass sunroof shattering and airbags that did not deploy in crashes.
- Transmission and drivetrain
CVT transmission slipping or losing power
- 65 complaints (36%)
- median 73,500 mi at 6.4 yrs old (42 state mileage)
- 1 mention a crash, fire or injury
- owner-quoted repair $970 (median of 7 quotes)
- filed 2011–2025
Owners describe the car revving while speed does not follow, hesitation when pulling away from a stop, jerking, and sudden drops in speed on the highway. In several cases the vehicle went into a reduced-power mode and could only be driven slowly, and complaints say some cars needed a whole transmission replacement. According to complaints, dealers sometimes called early slipping normal, and in other cases diagnosed a failed transmission; owners mention an extended warranty on the CVT and say coverage had run out by the time the problem appeared. Mostly reported between about 60,000 and 110,000 miles, with some complaints at lower mileage and a few past 140,000 miles.
What to check: Ask for the transmission service history and whether any control module reprogramming was done, and test drive at highway speed and up a hill. Watch for high revs without matching acceleration, hesitation from a stop, or delayed engagement after braking.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“Right after purchasing our Nissan Sentra, my daughter went on a road trip to south carolina and the car lost power and started stuttering. As it turns out the CVT transmission went out. We had to purchase a used transmission to get the car running. The car only had 118,000 miles when this occurred which is riduclous.”
NHTSA complaint #11299374, filed 2020-01, 118,000 miles“Summer 2013 ,while driving on the freeway at 60 MPH, some tire debris off an 18 wheeler truck tire was on my lane,, to avoid hitting it and or the vehicles next to me I looked into my rear view mirror to check for cars behind me and made a sudden slow down, but not a complete stop,,I pressed the gas pedal to go around the debris and the engine revved up, but the car did not move. …”
NHTSA complaint #10541758, filed 2013-09, 6,500 miles - Vehicle speed control
Loss of acceleration / power reduction at speed
- 66 complaints (37%)
- median 76,000 mi at 6.2 yrs old (49 state mileage)
- 1 mention a crash, fire or injury
- owner-quoted repair $3,000 (median of 7 quotes)
- filed 2012–2025
Owners report the car slowing abruptly on the highway, sometimes from 70 mph to well under 50, with the accelerator pressed to the floor and no response. Some say it recovered after being shut off and rested for 10 to 40 minutes, and several note it happened on long drives, uphill, or in hot weather. Complaints describe dealers either being unable to reproduce it or quoting a large repair cost. Reported from about 40,000 miles upward, mostly on longer highway drives, uphill grades or warm weather.
What to check: Take an extended test drive that includes a sustained stretch at highway speed and, if possible, a long uphill pull; look for any stored transmission codes. Ask whether the car has ever gone into a reduced-power mode and what was done.

“I have had my 2012 Sentra for 1 month 1/2 and twice on long distance trips the car had slowed down. Going 80 slowed to 50 and the gas pedal was to the floor. Both times I've had to safely pull off three freeway and sit on the side of the freeway for a 1/2 hour. This is very disappointing otherwise the car is good”
NHTSA complaint #11083903, filed 2018-04, 90,415 miles“While driving from az to ca on the highway, my vehicle lost the ability to speed up while pushing the pedal. It happened a total of three times on 2 different days.the first two times I couldn't get above 60 however on one occasion, it dropped down to 3-5 miles per hour and the pedal was to the floor. I was on a 2 lane highway with semi trucks having to pass me on the left. I was terrified, had no cell service and had to drive on the shoulder with my hazards on until the shoulder disappeared. …”
NHTSA complaint #11325325, filed 2020-05, 103,000 miles - Engine
Engine stalling or hesitation at speed
- 25 complaints (14%)
- median 71,000 mi at 6.9 yrs old (19 state mileage)
- 2 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2013–2024
Owners report the engine cutting out or hesitating while driving, in some cases requiring a restart at the roadside, and one owner says a sensor was the cause with no warning light beforehand. Others describe stalling at red lights or during hard stops, and there is a report of engine smoke and fire after a part fell from underneath the vehicle. Complaints say diagnoses varied from a failed sensor to an unknown cause. Reported from about 45,000 miles to well past 100,000 miles, in varied driving conditions.
What to check: Ask for a scan for stored and pending codes, check that the check engine light works, and note any hesitation or rough running during the test drive including at idle and when coming to a stop.

“While driving my car will just shut off. It also will shutoff while stopped at a red light. I have taken it to a couple of shops and their test say bad oxygen sensor so I had it replaced, but this has not fixed the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11268106, filed 2019-10, 60,000 miles“Vehicle was purchased used and the battery died after 3mos and 3000 miles, dealer refused to replace. Purchase price for new battery is $145.00 I find this charge ridiculous. This vehicle is used maybe every other day since we have 2 cars. The dealer said the car still has 60,000 miles warranty. On a certified pre owned vehicle I do not except having to put a new battery in the car. I must ask what kind of inspection do you guys do, and should I expect more things to go wrong with this car.”
NHTSA complaint #10619418, filed 2014-08, 37,200 miles - Air bags
Airbags not deploying in a crash
- 10 complaints (6%)
- median 62,500 mi at 4.0 yrs old (9 state mileage, few)
- 6 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2013–2024
Complaints describe crashes in which the airbags did not deploy, including rollovers, impacts with fixed objects and a collision with a trailer at low speed where the bags did deploy. Some owners report the airbag warning light staying on and one owner links a horn that stopped working to the same warning light. Several mention confusion with the seat belt reminder light versus the airbag light. Reported at mileages ranging from a few thousand to over 150,000 miles, in varied crash circumstances.
What to check: Check that the airbag warning light cycles on and off normally at startup and stays off, ask whether any airbag or occupant sensor service has been done, and confirm seat trim has not been altered.
2 excerpts from owner complaints in NHTSA records
“The airbags did not deploy when my husband wrecked the 2012 Nissan Sentra 6-24-13. My husband swerved to miss a deer that was in the road, hit a culvert, got air born, took out a reflector sign, and crashed into the ground. The car had +$7,000 worth of damages and the airbag did not deploy. I think there is a manufacturing issue. It got air born and hit a culvert. I think an airbag should have deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #10542888, filed 2013-09, 33,144 miles“Rainy night 55 MPH crash. Air bags did not deploy. Wet road, car ran off road, hit a sign post, went down embankment, flipped and rolled over into ditch. Daughter was seriously injured... 4 broken lower back vertebrae, 9 broken ribs, numerous pelvic fractures, lacerated spleen and kidney. Seems like these injuries could have been much less severe if the airbags would have deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #11206122, filed 2019-05, 62,500 miles - Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors)
Sunroof glass shattering
- 12 complaints (7%)
- median 30,000 mi at 2.7 yrs old (11 state mileage)
- 1 mention a crash, fire or injury
- filed 2013–2019
Owners describe the glass sunroof breaking with a loud bang, sometimes while parked and sometimes while driving, leaving glass over the roof and hood. Complaints say there was no impact from another vehicle, that conditions ranged from hot days to light snow, and that in one case the roof broke twice. Some owners report a dealer replaced the glass under warranty; others say the cause could not be determined. Reported across a wide mileage range, from under 10,000 to about 37,000 miles, in both hot and cold weather.
What to check: Inspect the sunroof glass, and its edges and seal, for chips, scratches or previous replacement, and ask the seller whether the panel has ever been replaced.

“After going to the bank we stopped for breakfast.....it was about 40 degrees and light snow was falling.....while eating our sun roof exploded......it had a cone shape upwards and glass was all around on the roof and hood of the veh. ....veh was parked lucky for us...... But it sounded like a gun shot and glass went flying.....”
NHTSA complaint #10700898, filed 2015-03, 37,000 miles“I was driving my Nissan Sentra over I-25 and suddenly moon roof exploded. I heard a gunshot and glasses flying.this is a serious safety issue and Nissan must issue recall or replacement for all affected vehicles. It sounds like vehicle manufacturing defect. I read several forums on internet and came to know that several people experienced the same issue with several other cars.”
NHTSA complaint #10523304, filed 2013-07, 8,800 miles
Buying note. The transmission is the main thing to evaluate on this model year: a thorough test drive plus a check for stored transmission codes and service records is worth more than a quick spin around the block. Also confirm the airbag warning light behaves normally and inspect the sunroof glass before deciding.
Summary written with AI from a sample of 60 NHTSA complaints for this model year (picked at random, with complaints that state a mileage and recent ones taken first), then checked automatically against the source records. Where a problem shows a complaint count, every complaint for this model year was matched with fixed keyword rules (written with AI and tested against the sample), and the mileage, age and repair figures are calculated from those complaints; owners' figures are as stated, not verified. Other counts refer to the sample. The excerpts come from NHTSA's public complaint records and are unverified; capitalisation is normalised, NHTSA staff notes are removed, and shortened text ends with “…”. Something wrong?

Example complaints
Transmission and drivetrain: “Car could not change gear while driving had to take foot off the gas, when shifting gears from park it was very loose and slippery, car can no longer be driven it will only go into neutral. When the incident happened I was waiting at the light with my foot on the break and it wouldnt shift back to drive when I stepped on the gas.”
NHTSA complaint #11139894, filed 2018-10, 71,000 milesEngine: “My Nissan Sentra has 85,000 miles on it and my transmission is completely broken. The CVT transmission they put in my car has an extended warranty in it for known problems with it. I was driving with my two small children on a very busy highway when it stopped moving and I had to pull over and restart it. When I restarted the vehicle t again would not move. I finally got it to move to where I got to a mechanic and they told me my transmission was completely broken. …”
NHTSA complaint #11113170, filed 2018-07, 80,000 milesVehicle speed control: “The vehicle drifts both directions while driving, when braking it seriously pulls right. I have only had the car 6 weeks and haven't hit anything yet but if there are narrow lanes with parked cars I may not be so lucky. There are other problems the heat shields that cover the exhaust come loose and the air sensors in the tires leak so you need to put air in the tires weekly.”
NHTSA complaint #10733737, filed 2015-07, 54,000 milesOther or unknown: “When approaching a red light and stopping quickly, the car completely stopped even though I was going 10 miles per hour at 1000 RPM, traction control light, oil light, battery light and seat belt light all turned on. The only way to get the car to move was to turn it off and turn it back on. This happened a second time while returning to our home. As I was getting off the interstate and stopping for another vehicle, the same thing happened again. It seems to do this with a hard stop at 1000 rmp or 10-20 MPH.”
