Any suggestions.....I'm assuming the alternator but I'm not sure it's a 2019 nissan sv 1.8L ....i just jumped it and it started and I let it run for over a hour. Triple A said the battery was good starter was good but the alternator wasn't putting out power. Could it be a fuse??

[@bigmattball]

My 2014 Sentra is about to hit 90k, it’s been a really good car. Drive sensibly and keep the RPM below 4K, they hold up pretty well. I change the cvt fluid every 60k and use sport mode on hills.

[@hermilopaez4883]

What fluid do you buy to change it

[@starsthelimit69]

2019 since 10/16/20 replaced MAF… need rear struts/shocks $385.28-Alignment notice wear of front tires $129.95- i’m at 104,029 Fuel GDI -$139.95 and Tune Up -$321.80 and couple of new front tires ..🤔… wishing i had the strength in my hands to replace coils and spark plugs seem pretty easy to do . I once replaced a window motor in a Dodge Durango and replace the headlights … these videos makes life easier affordable and give you info you need when these shops try and tell you how much work they put in for some of these services

[@germancorea8454]

I have a 2013 Sentra SV with 175,000 miles and I've had most of those problems. Last year I replaced the front shocks and the new ones bang when I accelerate and hit 20 mph. This year around March I had to replace the coils and SPs, then on June I had to replace the starter, then on October I had to replace and reprogram the MAF sensor. But over all it's a good car.

[@Grievous2009]

My Nissan Sentra 2014 has 85,000 miles. Currently dealing with MAF sensor issues which I think I got it fixed, around 45-50k miles the AC failed, luckily I still had warranty and saved over $3000 in repairs! Those were the only major issues I have had and hope to not get any more.

[@BossReturns]

I had a MAF code pop up on mine, but after changing the sensor the car still will not start. Have you gone through something similar?

[@americanpaisareturns9051]

I’ve had everything in this video and more repaired/replaced in my 2016 Nissan Sentra S. Thankfully all was covered under the manufactures warranty, extended warranty, and power terrain warranty. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ve been a loyal customer of the Nissan Sentra brand since their 1996 model. Gone are the days of Nissan being considered a reliable brand. I finally learned my lesson. I will buy Nissan no more.

[@hdadam203]

I am owning a Nissan Sentra 2014, I think am the 3rd owner and still drives smooth after reaching 183kKM. I have heard from different mechanics to get it replaced with another car, due to having a CVT transmission. If Nissan really makes a CVT transmission that fragile and weak, they might lose lots of customers.

I got a 2013 Sentra used back in 2017. The CVT transmission failed at nearly 40K miles. Thankfully the car was under warranty. I do regular maintenance on it all the time. I take really good care of it as well--never did any rigorous or stupid driving behavior in it. Another issue with this Sentra would be the wheel bearings would come loose. That happened to me as well, but thankfully it was under warranty.

Catalytic Converter! My Nissan Sentra 2015 100k miles was always slow to accelerate, but during a trip in the hills of Pennsylvania it broke. It wouldn't go past 60 MPH. I think it was sold to me with a bad catalytic converter. Here is my story: I had the MAF sensor P0101, changed the sensor. Nothing. Took it to the Nissan dealership, and they wanted to change the Throttle Body Control. I changed it myself. Nothing. I changed the PVC valve even though it was working properly. Nothing. I changed the filter. Nothing. I took it back to the Nissan Dealership and they said "Brake booster." I agreed to pay the $1600 even though I knew damn well it wasn't the brake booster. Then they come back with, "It wasn't the brake booster. But we found out it was the catalytic converter. We took the catalytic converter off, drove around with it, and it works fine. Your catalytic converter melted inside and is restricting the flow of exhaust. So we'll only charge you $2000 for both the brake booster and the catalytic converter."

[@MiamiZombie2012]

My wife's sentra of this vintage only had the first 3 problem. 1st one we just cleaned the maf but we do have to change the pcv valve, cvt in ours was replaced by the dealer at the 42k mile mark and the new one is going strong at 97K miles. We replaced all struts and the front mounts twice. But the front mounts still make a pop noise on the first turn and it goes away. Other than that, it's been a rock solid reliable car.

[@benburleigh6379]

Had a 2007 Nissan Versa: 240,000 kms on it. Missed reg maintenance a few times but never had a single issue with the CVT ...Actually may have been second most reliable car I have ever owned (1997 Toyota Paseo #1)

[@ChristopherGaslighted]

I had a 91 Nissan Maxima that i bought brand new. My co-worker at the time kept saying Nissans didn't last many miles. That Maxima SE was the one of the smoothest and best driving cars that i have owned, but just as my old co-worker said, when it hit 90,000 miles,it went into self destruct mode. Transmission, oil leaks, electrical problems like windows, transmission interlock, etc, etc. That experience soured my affinity for anything Nissan except the small trucks. Every Mechanic report i have read says they are unreliable and give big problems when they get mileage.

I had a 1998 p11 primera with Nissans first gen cvt as far as I know. I changed the fluid every 30000kms and it finally gave out at 297000kms after 10years of ownership. Hyper cvt was def known to fail quicker than the modern xtronic so take it how ever you like but thrash a cvt and never service the transmission then don’t expect longevity.

I have 2014 Nissan sentral, bought used at 20k km, now it has 210k on it, still run Strong. It is very reliable only u knew how to drive CVT transmission. Overall happy with my purchase, I do my oil change every 10k and trains fluid very 120k.

2017 Nissan Sentra. 145,000 miles. No problems. Do plan to have transmission fluid replaced, etc.

[@syken8695]

I have a 2014 Sentra. I am always trying to keep up with maintenance on it. I have a lot of service records on it. I had to have it towed to the repair shop several times. First was the PCV valve throwing MAF codes. Car would start and then shut off immediately after. Second was the rear wheel brake cylinders exploded leaving a pool of brake fluid under the car, had no brakes. Had to tow it to the shop in a hurry. The third time what happened was when I got to the shop for routine maintenance, the mechanics found both control arms cracked, had them replaced for $1500. Been in a minor accident twice with this car and total repair bill for this car was over $9000. Aside from other problems like AC completely failing, had to replace an HVAC hose and the compressor for $1350. Both struts and shocks were replaced costing around $1100. New all 4 tires around $750 all season. Needed snows for winter, paid around $900 for 4. Multiple suspension components failing - creaking, clunking, rattling when going over small bumps and potholes. I guess it’s cheap? Uh uh, nope. I am no mechanic, but stuff braking down on this car is unbelievable. Every time transmission fluid is replaced on it, it smells like burnt wires. Have to open windows to let the smell out of the car. When it’s something simple like air filter, I do it myself to save some money, but speaking about the cabin air filter, it is in one of the stupidest places. Its on the left passenger side near the feet, behind the glove box. You basically have to remove the entire glovebox assembly to get access to it. For some simple repairs, I do it myself, with some instructions - replacing the MAF sensor, checking the fluids, replacing the headlight or taillight bulbs, checking tire pressure, changing the air filters, replacing a flat tire… I am also planning to replace the ignition coils on it too in another 10000 miles, on my own. It currently has 110500 miles. I would not recommend owning a Sentra, but it’s just my opinion. If you’re struggling financially like me, get a Toyota Corolla, much better choice, or any other Toyota or Honda. Nissan quality has gone down the drain. I don’t know what happened to them, but they need to return that quality work for cars they make. Because personally, I don’t want to see another Nissan again, until they bring that back.

After carefully watching this guy in the video, I still have no clue what he did other than remove the battery and point the lousy camera at a hose while his hand wrestled with something beneath the battery stand. Bravo man. Time for me to go look for another repair video. 🤨😡🤬

[@gii4886]

ALSO, if the Sentra won't go past 40 mph or it seems like you have reduced acceleration (with the exterior lights switch to on) check the taillight assembly for moisture accumulating along the inside! If so, you are going to need to replace the entire assembly to correct this issue. From what I was told, it shorts out the LED panel which misleads the computer in translation that the brakes are being applied while accelerating which why you have reduced power. I found this to be TRUE! I replaced my rear passenger assembly and I haven't had any issues since. . .I also believe NISSAN was cognitive of this because the next model that came out (along with the Altima) no longer have LED taillight assemblys.

[@zach1009]

I just looked into this problem for my vehicle (2015 Nissan Sentra S), and you were right. My right tail light had moisture, I unplugged it, and it solved the acceleration issue. I was able to disable the brake light for now while I order a whole new tail light. Thanks for the advice because I was having trouble finding out why my car would not accelerate quickly when my headlights were on.

[@jbrav2247]

Reading a lot of the comments, I must be extremely lucky. i have a 2016 nissan sentra SV that i bought at 40k almost 5 years ago, now at 123k miles. It has been incredibly reliable, and has not been trouble at all. Struts finally went out(damn small town railroad tracks with deceptively large bumps leading to the tracks), but other than changing the brake pads and routine engine oil changes, nothing has failed me yet. The transmission seems to not wanna catch right away anymore when coming to stop signs and rolling off, but reverse and everything else are still tight, i just slowly apply the accelerator when coming out of stop which seems to help slow whatever degradation that is happening in the cvt til i can afford to do something about it. I must have the miracle sentra, considering the apparent nightmares other people seem to have with theirs. i guess morale of the story is, its not a hot rod, and treating it like such will be your own downfall.

Lol hahaha the car barely has any miles on it lol reply back at 115,000 miles when your CVT transmission fails; then you join the class action lawsuit against Nissian trying to get them to replace the trans. If they don't its about $4,300 and only a 12 month 12,000 miles lol

[@chrisvalentin4826]

Sell while you can, friend has a 2013 one , 102,000 miles and his transmission went out. A lot of money to replace it.

[@donaldwilson2620]

The problematic CTV and the plasticky interiors are what's ruining Nissan in my opinion.

[@sharronclark7485]

Its CVT!😁

[@schnuurtchke]

These are the worst cars car rental companies have gotten in the 2010s CVT issues and throttle body issues All types of problems with these cars 🚘 Thanks for sharing

[@ajaceesay7225]

Sir anything you have mentioned about this car I have all this problem and I have to spend a huge amount of money to fix all this problem because I wasn’t ready for another car payment/ car note

[@Christof708]

My transmission blew up at 66k all regular services performed, what a piece of junk.

[@dapollosings5319]

What year?

[@MD-du5fj]

How many times did you have the cvt fluid changed before it blew?

[@SRamix94]

this just happened to me

[@kid123ik90ol]

maybe you treat it like race car

[@NPazdernik]

Mine blew up at 20k you lucky duck.

[@Astro_fan143]

Don’t forget the P0183 Fuel Temperature Sensor issue. My 2019 Sentra started to have this issue after 46,000 miles in addition to the Mass airflow sensor.

[@theylied1776]

The only problem is the Nissan Front-Wheel Drive Transmission. Do not buy any Nissan with a CVT. Last November, Nissan admitted in court that their Jatco CVTs are defective! And they are still using the same defective design for all of their CVTs. DO NOT BUY ANY NISSAN WITH A JATCO CVT! You have been warned!

[@maddd8883]

I wish I would've seen this before I bought mine..now I'm nervous to have my grandparents even drive it long distance

[@mikelazar8061]

Would have been great if i had Seen your warning before i've bought one lol😂

[@rudypot683]

Put a larger aftermarket transmission cooler on the cvt no problems they have an inadequate transmission cooler from the factory or buy a manual nissan you will have no problems

[@beanswtf]

The only issue I had with my 2017 was bad o2 sensor at around 1.5k miles. Now I have 30k not a lot but I drive it every day no other issue

[@juliopena2098]

The manual tells you not to go over 3k rpm for a reason. 80k still no issues just bought a 2019. Do not go over 3k rpm and you will be fine

[@TheSevonne]

I didn’t read this in the manual but I’ve just kind of felt it intuitively? Lol but I don’t like to push my car too hard on the rpms and can’t stand I just cringe when anyone else drives my car because they allllll hit 4k when initially accelerating and it’s just so unnecessary. Drives me nuts

[@papimew2672]

Why would you buy a car that limits how much you can use it

[@vinman5432]

Nice video. Don't forget the fusible link and general connections to the battery.

[@rebeccajohn4226]

Good day, I own a 2018 Nissan Sentra (Thailand) with over 227,000 km on with minor wear and tear issues. The vehicle is regularly maintained and serviced. However, I would like to know if there is a manual transmission for this particular model of Sentras as I don't want to encounter the common CVT transmission issue seen on KZbin videos.

[@billsulli7336]

My 2018 Sentra, some times the wipers just stop and I have to pull over and turn off the car and turn it back on for them to work. Any ideas?

If you suspect that you have bad spark plug coils the reader will tell you which one. Mines just got coded for number 4 and I was able to replaced it along with all my spark plugs.

[@mcharr02]

Bought my 2015 Nissan Sentra brand new. Around 30k miles car would jerk and shake a bit during acceleration and if I hit 80 mph on the freeway the RPM’s would go up and down. Pretty scary. I had the transmission fluid entirely changed at 60k miles and all the problems went away. I’m at 100k miles now and I have a motor boat sound in the front now that gets loud at 30 mph up to 60 mph. Some are telling me it’s a leaking exhaust or flex pipe and others telling me could be the trans again.

[@un7745]

I have a 2015 Nissan Sentra S trim level... I hear a knock when I remove my foot from the gas and I hear it again I touch the gas even at around 20-30km. The sound comes from the axle area. There isn't any click when turning. Any suggestions?

Hi! Hoping to get some advice? I have a 2013 sentra, 62k owned by one person. Recently when I turn, I feel a hard vibration in my gas pedal as well as hearing it. Any advice on what it could be? Thanks in advance!

+Rebecca Hampsom We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@Emerysealion]

I hope the 2020s have fixed these issues.

[@bluebu3100]

The CVTs (and the whole car)have been entirely redesigned. After paying several lawsuits, I'd imagine it's in Nissan's best interest to make them right.

[@aingemechanic]

Nice video..but you forgot to mention how the passenger side axle will snap and leave you stuck at the red light .. it just happened to one of my customers I'm waiting on her right now

[@1AAuto]

+Ainge The Mechanic Thanks for the feedback!

[@andyobregon6040]

My 2013 sentra is the best car ever. Full manual transmission. But the rear brakes and hand brake sucks after 165k miles

[@carter7980]

Hell yah! I own the same car, any problems with it so far? I’m only at 80k

[@chasechevy8933]

Manual trans is always the way to go over a CVT.(junk) I sold my '02 Sentra with 260k miles on it with the stock clutch still in it! And i know for a fact that it made it at least 300k with it because I know who I sold it to

[@saeidriyazimoafi427]

The cylinder head is new and I changed the radiator too...for a few days water was pouring out of the thermos after turning it off, then I changed the radiator lid and it was fixed, but now my water pipes are swollen.

[@kathymyers-host6187]

My Church just "Gifted" me a 2018 Nissan Sentra SV, 1.8L 4cyl., at our Christmas Service on the Dec. 3rd; how cool is that, right!!! WOW! I went from a Grandma Dodge Grand Caravan(2005) to this! Quite the difference in the "drive!"...lol...I DO have an "OLD" Racing Background and typically like to "tinker"; change my own Oil, etc. Probably NOT this car; I'm used to working on OLD Race Cars; Camaro's, Chevelle's, etc....so, I "understand" quite a few things when it comes to cars; but not so much with these newer models; I know my Dodge WELL; mainly because of KZbin and "experience" in fixing it or mostly having "someone" else Professional, fix it; I'm clueless when it comes to this Nissan; I took it to the local dealership and all's they wanted from me was a total of $775.00 for all this "preventative" maintenance for it; I just smiled and then left. I didn't want to be rude, but NO WAY! LOL....just because I'm an old Granny doesn't mean I'm stupid; ....the car "does" have some issues I'm concerned about; one is the transmission. It "surges" sometimes, meaning, the RPM's have shot WAY up as I was just puttin along at 10-15mph....I pulled into a business parking lot, pressed HARD on the Brake, put it in Park; then put it back down into Drive; it hasn't done that since; not sure what that was all about but the trans slips alot; I went into Advanced Auto and the "seasoned" Gentleman told me to buy some Lucas No Slip fluid; he says it helps alot of cars with that stuff; I use Lucas Oil when I change my Oil in my Van, so I'm already a FAN of the Products....I've not heard of this "slip" stuff before, tho.....any advice for this old lady?

[@evansnyderCO]

I’m having an issue that sounds similar to the ctv portion of your video. Around 40-50, it will stop accelerating and cruise, but the rpms will continue to go up even too red line with no speed increase. Could that be the CVT transmission? I’ve read as well about possibly the ctv idle air sensor causing this problem as well.

[@jacobsoronen]

I've had this problem since I've owned my sentra. If I'm going up and down on a hilly road, or interstate. My car will randomly loose power, and I'll have to floor it to accelerate.. it will also be almost 700 rpms higher to maintain the same speed it was just doing. Then an hour or so, it will fix itself. Worst road trip car ever

[@Soaringkiwi1]

2015 Sentra bought new: 30K - transmission replaced (under warranty). Would fail to go above 40mph. Happened to me on the highway. NOT SAFE. 40K - Airfilter and intake vibration 50K - Air Compressor failed 70K - EVAP issues. Tube coming out of fuel tank leaking, mpg went down a lot. Replaced gas cap and then it was still complaining after that. Always taken to dealership and maintained as suggested. Shittiest car ever.

[@dodge8802]

Well I helped myself on the transmission front I suppose I bought the 6 speed manual version. 🙂

[@GenXXXX70]

I have one as well. The only problem I've experienced so far is the mass air flow sensor.

[@missioncodez]

For all the issues the Nissan CVT era has had since 2007, their manual transmissions have apparently stayed solid throughout.

I got a manual too!

[@pawkisser]

needed a new passenger side strut at 57k miles. was covered by my warranty. $100 deductible and $90 for the alignment and lubing my axle

[@GunSnob]

They lubed your axle alright. You don't lube these axles, they are greased and shouldn't need grease added as they are self contained with a boot.

[@waleyefish9026]

How about Brake Pedals going to the floor. And brake light switch failures were the car doesn't start.

[@serious_in_seattle6917]

I totally regret buying my 2017 Sentra. The transmission started failing a little after 100K miles. Nissan refused to give me a new transmission. Two Nissan dealers near me confirmed that the transmission was failing and quoted me $4,450 for replacing. I’m mad as hell. I’ll never buy another Nissan and I tell everyone I know to never buy one. I should have bought a Corolla instead as I was initially planning to do.

[@Andrew-rv5qt]

That is crazy. I was planning to buy a used 2009 Nissan versa hatchback for $4k. I've been searching a lot of reviewers about Nissans transmission reliability. this just sucks.

[@sandydaniels2668]

I have a 2017 sentra also and constant issues.

[@chrissandoval6873]

This car had a class action lawsuit for this issue. I would investigate further

[@puga420]

The CVT does fail after 90k but only if youre using the sports mode on and off. If u take good care of it it will last for a while

[@scottwade3600]

Electrical cleaner can clean the MAF sensor just fine, just make sure it dries before reinstallation

[@dalesmith4985]

This car looks the same as the Nissan pulsar here in Australia, yes many have failed early because of the CVT transmission....the 6 speed manual ones are ok
