2015 Nissan Sentra S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
Have had a lot of issues with this car, A/C had to be recharged 6mo in, the carpet is coming up brought it to nissan and they ended up replacing the whole floor carpet... less than a month later its coming up again. The car sounds rough at times when idle specially at first start up. Haven't even owned the car for a year and the suspension is starting to make noise.. Great on gas milage … and so on but these cosmetic issues are getting to be ridiculous.
Update:
Transmission went out at 90,000 miles Nissan was willing to cover 3/4 of it. I hit 107,000 miles AC starts failing again. Bring it to Nissan they say nothing is wrong with it even though it is blowing warm air. Bring it to FireStone they say it needs a recharge wanting to charge like $500 for it. Brought it to another mechanic and they say that the condenser needs to be replaced. At around 102,000 miles started having issues with the MAF sensor with the check engine light coming on. At one point the car could barely accelerate. Bring it to Nissan and they charged me around $300 for it few weeks later light comes on again scan the code same error bring it to Nissan light turns off and they see nothing wrong with it. Wasted so much money on this MAF issue and this dealership just keeps dicking around with it.
DISHONEST NISSAN

If your in the market for a Nissan Sentra, don't waste your time. This car has serious transmission problems as well as engine and computer issues that make this car a very bad buy for consumers. It also doesn't hold it's value at all. Mine is a 2015 Nissan Sentra s with only 16,500 miles on it and still looking like showroom new. I live in the mountains of Asheville North Carolina. I … started having transmission problem s after 2500 miles on the car. It wouldn't go up our steep mountain ski trails at all without smelling of burnt oil and electrical smells. It would also stall out. This car is made for the flat even roads - not for mountain driving. Nissan usa.com, doesn't care at all about it's customers when it comes to this issue and denies anything wrong with the car. Nissan owns 75% of the transmission company and this CVT of theirs is the worst in American usage.

2015 Nissan Sentra S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
The car itself is ok but the transmission is total junk. Go to carcomplaints.com and read the horror stories like mine. Did recommended fluid change at required time 59,000 miles. Transmission failed at 70,000. Replaced under extended warranty. Now replacement transmission now is failing at only 49,000 miles. [non-permissible content removed] Have a friend wit a 2007 civic with 265,000 … miles plus and still rides smooth. Run away from nissan as fast as you can. Shoulda done my homework. Now pursuing lemon law solutions or lawsuit
Don't buy one

2015 Nissan Sentra S 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
Tranmission went out at 84000 miles. $4,000 to replace and that's what the car is worth at that point. That's why the warranty is only 60,000 miles. Bluetooth quit working after a year. Speakers went in and out right after and they wouldn't fix it. Don't be fooled, cheap car that won't last.
