CVT vs Automatic Transmission
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The real difference between a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and an automatic transmission (AT) is that while both are technically automatic transmissions and don’t require the driver to use a clutch to manually change gears, a traditional automatic transmission has fixed gears -typically ranging from five to nine in number. Nissan's XTRONIC CVT and all CVTs don’t have any traditional fixed gear ratios at all. There is no “shifting” in the conventional sense of the word. With CVT, shifting is seamless - the vehicle performs as though it has a variable gear for every driving situation, and you won’t feel any shift shock.
Benefits of CVT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Stronger acceleration from a standing start
- Rapid & seamless acceleration during merging and passing
- Smooth and quiet at cruising speed
- Always in the right gear - no gear hunting
- Significant improvement in the fuel economy

Sounds great! Drop me a line when you make one that lasts 30,000 miles!
Our son who has about 100,000 miles on his Sentra hasn't had any problems at all and he does NOT take car of his cars. It's a 2015- smashed front end from a deer a YEAR ago, no grill..... trashed out.. sorry to say. BUT car still running and transmission with it.
My brother's 2008 Nissan sentra has 168,000 miles. The cvt hasn't given him problems.
These xtronic transmissions are great and not the crappy jatco ones known for failing pre 2016
My mom had a 2015 Altima sv that lasted 150,000 miles before the transmission failed.

Please Nissan give us a transmission system that isn't known for inevitably needing a costly replacement
Amen, I just paid 5k to replace mine in a 2012 Rogue
Unforntuantly ALL transmissions are expensive to replace..not just nissan..😂
@christopherhernandez78 yeah but most never go out camrys and the ect 200 to 300k not one trans fluid change nissan cvt lucky to get a 100k most likely 60 with out maintenance

I got a used altima coupe V6 and I added a cooler and replaced the coolant with perfomance coolant.. and not drive it hard.. its been fine so far.. and you do relize that back in the day it was easy to rebuild it because how simple it was.. but lots of car brands are switching to cvts for comfort and economy.. if the consumer changes and demands changes, Im pretty sure there will be changes.. before cvts where drivin to the ground.. now we can maintain em...

You didn't show the part where the CVT breaks and leaves you stranded. You forgot how you extended the warranty on these awful transmissions to 84,000 miles because they're so failure prone. And you certainly haven't mentioned how a search engine review of "Nissan CVT" provides endless stories of people whose transmissions have failed. CVT is the reason to not buy a Nissan.
Costs about 4000 to replace, am I right?
@@crand20033 yep very expensive. Better off just getting rid of the whole thing
Thanks for the feedback! I was looking to buy a Nissan Sentra sr but, I’ve heard things about the transmission. Very nice car but, can’t buy it if the tranny will give out in less than 50,000 miles.

They're pieces of garbage and nissan won't stand behind them. Mine went at 55000 miles! They need to put that "technology" back into the motor scooter it came from.
Change the fluid on the transmission
I honestly do not feel worried about my '14 Sentra. I bought it in June of 2018 with 73,000 miles pre owned and so far has not given me issues. They had replaced all fluids on the car before I bought it and I drive modest and easy for the best mpg and I usually get great mileage. The issue with most drivers would could be them alone for not maintaining and being aware of of the fluids. Also driving the car so hard to match a speed quicker through acceleration is not how to stand for an economy car. Easy does it. I live in a desert so I try to check the fluids often than most and she is my daily driver. I love my Nissan and I praise my chance to get one even if I am paying too much cause of my dealership. :)
2011 sentra sr. Smoothest car ever. I go from 20-70mph at 1500rpm. Love how u can keep the rpm at the same spot and still accelerate. It maintains its speen when u let off the gas too. Its not a very fast car but it feels soo efficient
It maintains its spleen
@@4423422 it had better
So innovative that it will even disassemble itself
I've done 240,000kms with my 2010 Murano II, 3.5 CVT, so far no problems with the CVT, the motor on the other hand chews timing chains every 40,000 kms, Its been great and used for towing a double horse float around, If I wasn't poor I would buy a new one....
Usually it’s the other way around, Nissan’s engines are mostly bulletproof, everything else might fail but rarely the engine
NIce to know someone got lucky.
This was spoken from a dealer in a forum:
I'm gonna start off saying that I work at a Nissan dealership and I'm gonna explain what I see on a daily basis and I will give you input from a dealer perspective. Fail safe happens when the transmission overheats. That's what it's designed to do. Cvt fluidlevel is a huge factor. I don't know if this has been covered but there is a special way to check the fluid. We use consult 3 and monitor a temp count. After the temp count is where it should be the fluid is set. The fluid is not set at the full mark though. If its set there it's overfull and will cause it to whine and go into fail safe. Usually when it whines it's because the fluid is aerated. The fluid is usually set in the middle of the crosshatch marks to 3/4 depending on fluid temp. This is why we see so many people with transmissions that are over full. Coolant protection is also a factor. There are tools out there to check freeze protection. Nissan recommends -34 degrees for proper cooling of the transmission. I seen some overheat at -48 degrees. I live in Colorado so it usually doesn't get that hot. The hotter the climate the easier the transmission will overheat if the coolant protection isn't set right. If your doing it yourself try to mix the coolant and water to -25 degrees. That would be more ideal. Seems to cool a lot better. And so everyone knows This is for all cvt equipped nissans. Rogues aren't the only one with these issues. Altimas and sentras have the same issues. Now if anyone has been in a front end collision And the radiator replaced make sure it's a Nissan radiator. Here is an example. Customer came in had the transmission replaced 30k miles ago. Transmission kept going into fail safe and whining. Level was good on the transmission but coolant protection was off. Set freeze protection where it should be and took on a long test drive. Same issue. Found out that it was in a front end collision 6 months earlier and a aftermarket radiatorinstalled. Aftermarket radiators don't cool as well as oem ones. We replaced with a Nissan radiator and problem never came back. Now I have a 2005 Nissan altima. You better believe if my radiator cracks I will probably replace it with a aftermarket radiatorbecause I don't have a cvt transmission. These transmission are so sensitive to heat its crazy. Now there are always times that it may need a transmission and if that's the case then it will be replaced. Usually when this happens a check engine light comes on or there are some codes stored In the ECM.
Now I want to talk about aftermarket fluids. Don't use them. There are some fluids out there that are suppose to be compatible but I wouldn't trust it. Talking to some of the engineers I have talk to said these aftermarket fluids Dont have the same qualitys and will cause the transmissions to overheat and or damage it. Plus at my dealership if you have different fluid and a transmssin concern you can kiss that warranty goodbye. Now I know people think that most dealerships think of ways to get out of warranty repairs. Well that's not all true. There are def some out there though. I get paid for warranty work. If I could replace a transmission daily under warranty I would. Thats how we get paid. Now nissans calls these things back to inspect to see what has failed. . If you cover something under warranty and Nissan calls it back then it had better have some sort of failure. If nissans finds out that it not they kindly send it back to us and charge us for the repair. It's really s*** sometimes even when it's Nissan fault. I see a lot of chrome pieces have tiny rust spots on them on a lot of armadas and pathfinders and Nissan won't warranty it. Nissan has charge the dealership I work for numerous times stating that it's not a defect when it clearly is. What I'm trying to say is that not all dealerships are trying to get out of warranty work. We do however have to protect ourselves so we don't get charged back for repairs. I hope the people on these boards can find trustworthy dealerships. From hearing some the of the stories on here it's no wonder why dealerships have bad names. In the meantime if anyone has questions own anything feel free to message me anytime.
+Michael Perryman I took my 2013 Nissan Sentra (purchase brand new from a Nissan Dealership) in at 57K miles and told them it randomly revved really high and it would surge. They told me 2x that I was incorrect it was fine and they couldn't duplicate the problem. It got worse but the warranty was out. It is now shot. Nissan has record and so does the dealership (same one where it now sits) that it was in with the same complaint I brought it in with and they don't appear to be willing to do anything. Maybe dealers are so afraid that they will get a chargeback on a warranty that they will send you out the door on this very expensive crappy transmission when it is starting to have issues under the very short 60K warranty. Your comment makes me concerned. If I get in a front end crash and the only thing my insurance will put in is a after market because that isn't a problem with any other car again that is a cost to me. Your comment , none of those issues were told to me when the high pressure Nissan salesman talked me into the car. I would not have bought it if I knew the transmission issues so many have, and he told me the transmission was 100k because I told him I was also going to check to shop around at the Hyundai's because of the warranty and Mazda. He said the transmission was the same warranty. I bought the POS. 4K for a transmission. I will get an attorney.... I may have a car parked for quite some time until I can try to afford it. I paid 24K for this car. Add 4k for a transmission on a 2 year old car and without a doubt I have paid too much. I still owe 4 years on the payment. When it is running again I will put letters on the back window describing the car as a POS , warning people about Nissan.
Hi I have a Nissan Sentra sr 2014 and I was wondering if this loud noise that my car makes park up or downhill would affect my transmission
Michael Perryman hi!
Planning to purchase a Nissan Altima 2016. A bit worried about the notes over here. Tell me frankly, if it's advisable to go for Altima. A CVT transmission.
What I am worried are the service costs and long term performances
Has the car been maintained(oil changed) every 3k miles or as the dealers recommended?
Do I have to change the fluid on my 2017 nissan rogue every 60K miles.
Formula 1 banned the CVT transmission because it can not take the immense horsepower and torque. Most F1 cars produce the same amount of power that 10-12 Sentras produce.
The tras was designed for save gas from the biginning so its not a racing trans buddy
I had a 2008 Dodge Caliber with CVT. It did amazingly good until about 150k miles. That's when it really started to slip. It was horrible during start and stop traffic in cities. Mainly because it really heated the tranny up. It could cruise at about 55-70 with no real issues, but if you ever had to start and stop after that, then it would really jack up.
So Nissan owners, get rid of your car with CVT before the warranty goes out. Also, get rid of it before anything tears up. Since you can't repair CVT transmissions, your only option is to replace them. That alone is over $6,000.
I spoke to a Nissan Murano owner, and she had the exact issues I had. She also had 200k miles and I had 167k.
Well 200k isn't bad
Change your oil
Yeah you know cvt has fluid you can change and help extend the life a little more
it saves fuel and waste pockets money for repairing
My Nissan is just fine. I have a Sentra with a CVT. It feels smooth and chill. I'm not trying to win any races, I bought an economic car for economical reasons lol. Want something that gives a shifting feel? Get a manual(Sentra has a 6 speed with the S trim lol). Im getting that Nismo Sentra when available.
Guess what? Jatco also supplies CVTs to Chevrolet, Honda, Dodge, Ford, and etc....
+Michael Perryman good luck, my 2013 Sentra, purchased brand new the transmission started going out at 56K and the warranty ended at 60K the dealer kept telling me it was how the transmission works. Yea slipping an reving is common! went over the warranty and it had just kept getting worse. Took it back, now they say a new transmission and it will be 4k. It is poop. Google Nissan transmission complaints before you buy one.
How did you go with it? Sell the car or fix the issue?
Nissan Sentra 1.8L MRA8DE is equipped with Jatco CVT-7 that uses an auxiliary gear to expand power transmitting ratio. And it only accepts 180Nm of torque by factory specs. So you can say goodbye if you are willing to upgrade some performance. And they don't ship it with CVT oil cooler in USA,.You will need to find the parts yourself. And you'll need an adapter for letting CVT Fluid out from your CVT unit too.
If you love this car, you will need an extra oil cooler for your CVT. And you will need to flush all the CVT Fluid out every 15,000-20,000miles if you don't have one.
I own one too.
Michael Perryman my 2.5 cvt wins hehehe
Hows your car holding up dude? Don't be afraid to be honest. :)
They forgot to mention how they snap belts and chains usually just out of warranty... oh snap. And how they have a low torque delivery. But I'm sure it will improve with advances in technology.
+Gibbet Hoskins mine started acting up at 56K took it in they said they couldn't duplicate it driving it up the street and refused to fix it. Now out of warranty and the exact thing I took it in for under warranty that wasn't fixed is out of warranty and they say worn chain, burnt valve, burnt fluid. they never even checked the fluid when it was in warranty. I have a complaint with Nissan but they need a week but don't appear to look like they want to help out. 4 thousand dollars to replace the transmission.
Holy crap I think I'm in your boat. I have a Sentra '04 and hope mines still covered
+Bryce Cooper I didn't think the Sentra had CVT until like 2007

Music video evanjelique
My ST murano has 240,000kms on it and its still fine. Still runs smooth
So INNOVATIVE that it falls apart! CVT with a cooling system that cannot handle the transmission, overheats, goes into fail safe. When your car starts shaking, jumping like a frog, it is too late. Trans is gone and you need a new one. Nissan knows this CVT will go out just after the 60K mi warranty. INNOVATIVE. Read your manual, Nissan wants you in their dealerships every 5K miles, so they can juice you. I was at a dealership, overheard the Technician talking to a senior gentlemen who was using a coupon for an oil change. The Tech said "you need to tell me about the coupon beforehand". WHY? So Nissan can find other things to fix and compensate for the coupon? Secondly, he told this customer, you have a nail in your tire, you need a new set of tires. Really?
Just fix my car Nissan!

As an owner of a 2013 SL, trust me, stay far away from this car or ANY Nissan. They've had from 2007 to perfect it, and JATCO continues to screw it up and Nissan continues to let them supply the same crap. Drive this and then drive a Civic, Accord or Corolla.

I am going to get an attorney. Nissan needs a week to let me know if they will contribute to the fix but told me they probably won't. So I sit without a car. This car is a disaster.

They were putting a inferior transmission fluid in them and you have to trade the fluid out every 30,000

@@vasunata I am 70 and this is the first car I regretted not buy an extended warranty.
Good design in theory but cheap build quality. That's why they keep failing. My Jukes CVT only managed 10,000 miles before catastrophic failure even with Nissan servicing.
I'm at 143k MI since 2011 with only one transmission fluid flush. I'm very impressed with the concept and disappointed with the lukewarm reception.
Also disappointed by how people complained that it didn't sound like a conventional car so the way the automatic shifting worked was changed in response to this criticsm. Comparing a 2006 and a 2011. Not sure if the more modern ones are different.
There's a lot of thought that went into how the transmission handles different load requirements - what it does at what speed based on how hard you're pressing the pedal. It's very robust in this aspect even if not as physically strong as a conventional automatic transmission.
I love how certain problems were solved but those details go over the heads of most people. CVTs are pretty cool on paper and this Nissan variety is a good attempt at the very least.
I love how the CVT works, it does hit that sweet spot of acceleration but ohmygod these are the most unreliable transmissions you will ever have. Do not buy a nissan. Doesn’t matter new or old, do not buy a nissan with a CVT.
my 2011 SER cvt Sentra with paddle shift is a blast! Nissan sure did a great job in my Sentras cvt.

WORST cvt in the auto industry... For some reason i bought ANOTHER freaking Nissan (used to be a huge fan.. had a 91 hardbody, 200sx, 240 and a 350z).. my last one was the 2014 Sentra with their CVT and it crapped out at 32k and I drive in no hurry 90% of the time on the freeway and it still crapped out... i just got a 2019 Sentra but i went with the 6spd Manual... i'll never touch another Nissan unless its manual or the traditional Automatic... CVT's are the worst thing that hit the auto industry in the last 15 years.

I own a 2010 sentra ser with cvt. I went to the drag strip and to lapping days, enjoy the most of this transmission. It's less fun then stick, but down shifts are kinda cool. Upshift are automatically compiled by the computer.

I'm driving a rental and am still wondering why the dumb thing drops RPMs and slows down around 42mph during acceleration? I'm pretty sure I know what transmissions to stay away from.
Ay finally some who hate CVT like me.
Because this car is equipped with Jatco CVT-7 which uses an auxiliary gear to expand the ratio. It's like having low gear and high gear after the CVT itself. So the car will jerk a bit at 60-80km/h when the gear goes from low to high.
Stop lying... Nissan Sentra 1.8L MRA8DE is equipped with Jatco CVT-7 that uses an auxiliary gear to expand power transmitting ratio. And it only accepts 180Nm of torque by factory specs. So you can say goodbye if you are willing to upgrade some performance. And they don't ship it with CVT oil cooler in USA,.You will need to find the parts yourself. And you'll need an adapter for letting CVT Fluid out from your CVT unit too.
They have changed over to Bosch belts in the CVT from JATCO so now the torque level is I think 400Nm however the problem is less to do with the belt and more to do with the metal the drive pulley shaft is made of. Over time from the torque the grooves for the bearings on the drive pulley fail causing a lockup which in turns shears the belt.
Thanks renault for ruining Nissan

My 2015 Sentra is on its second transmission. DISGUSTING
Just bought a new 2017 nissan sentra. It only had 15000 miles so far and to me it feels nice and smooth. To me its great on gas and performance as well. Maybe something might happen when i get to a certain miles like everyone else has that said has problems
Assassin Of good If you don't drive it like a granny would, you WILL need a new transmission sooner then you expect. I am already needing one with my 2015.
bruh wanna trade? I have a 2017 Sentra SR Turbo with a cool 15,875 miles that just went in for a tranny swap. She's had 3 oil changes and tire rotations to boot!
terrible transmission do your research ranked 18 out of 22 by consumer affairs in realiablity
That's because people keep drive it like they stole it. People would go past redline and not understand how the transmission works. If i could convert my 97 4Runner to a cvt with a steel belt I would so do it. Merging, going up and down hills, 0-60 is so much better than a regular transmission.

"Just how good is CVT? Consider this: The rule makers at Formula One racing actually banned the transmission. It's like cheating."
No, they banned it because they didn't want F1 cars to break down in the middle of the track and clog up the race, just like what Nissan is doing on the road today.
That belt red and look hot asf
Nice
20 years of experience? Then why are your CVTs the worst in the business?

Trash transmissions, I’d love to buy a new maxima if it didn’t come with one .
CVT's are basically garbage and do not give you confidence that it will last. Some auto makers even have it in a 4 wheel drive setup. Are they crazy. These should only be used in small cars with low power, if at all. The only way I would get one , is if the car has an unlimited power train warranty , so it will be the dealership's problem, not mine.
problem with nissan is the 2015 sentras only a base model has a manual transmission nowits a no wonder why the have so many 2015s still on the lot right now selling for 10k or less new we liek our manuals and we dont give a crap about the perfect mpg if it cant deliver reliability
Great Nissan.
These transmissions are sooooo trash! They go out like every 50,000 miles sometimes less than half that sometimes more. Terrible idea, don't know why they still make them, please don't buy this car
I made a mistake on buying a 2013 sentra the RPM goes super high when i barely touch the gas paddle
This would be awesome if you guys used chains instead of belts.
dont buy any car with cvt transmission, no part for repairs, more expensive, parts no available and more expensive, short life
This is where Nissan died. RIP
The whirs and whines from these CVTs as the car comes to a stop is highly annoying and not refined in any way.
HONOR THE WARRANTY!!!!
Good review & great Sentra.
Our newest CVT's? This was posted in 2013. Have they gotten better or worse since then? What do you think?
Worse.. or at least the same. I have a 2021 Altima at just a couple hundred over 60k that’s going to need a new one… just outside of warranty of course
still junk cvts... noise
Now, that's the sound of failure 😌😅
I brought a 2013 sentra (i regret)
When I'm about to press the gas paddle the needle from the rpm goes high and the acceleration goes high as well.
You don't understand how this transmission works.
I don't even know how to respond to this.
It's a total pig until around 25 but after that wow it revs and holds it there and cries for more. It's meant to do that.
It's a variable transmission.
I love it.
i have a nissan xtrail 2016 and it this D-Step Shift Logic thing. I have a feeling that it might not be simulated gear shifting because if you are crusing on the highway at a certain speed and stick the gearbox into "s" and upshift manually, the upshift boggs the engine down. Now why would it do that if it was simulated; doesn't that usually indicate that there might be a gear ratio selected
This is Crap!! worst experience ever today with transmission issues on my Nissan took due to crazy transmission problems. They run a diagnosed and came up saying it was fix just an update in the transmission software.....what the F@#$ seriously.... so I didn't buy that and now fighting for my transmission to be replace because a update is just a temporary fix even the own service manager told the same... so I'm going to fight this till the end because I have right as they have to follow protocol steps BS!!

Nissan USA I already did
Change the fluid every 30-40k miles and it will last 320k miles like Occckid123 Nissan Altima.
My owners manual and dealer told me change fluid at 60K.
I'm at 144k miles on my 2010 Nissan Sentra 2.0, never had any issues with the CVT
...Haters gon HATE.
May be you didn't drive it that's y you don't have problems:(
If yall do the maintenance like you should and drive it with some sense and not rag it also got to learn not step on the gas expect it to change like a conventional you got to let it build up to speed
Will say they should have put better cooling systems but other than that upgrade you’ll be good 👍
Also only decent cvt are the 3.5 v6 one the rests are garbage
Change the fluid in every 25000miles the fluid look like used engine oil.
The downfall of Nissan.
So this is like a Diesel Multiple Unit Train (DMU)?
DMU that is not Kiha 32 or British Class 108
Shifting 3 times until 60 MPH, with the first gear running until 35 MPH? Seems legit.
Ha! no
Not many cars do shift that many times to 60 unless it is an 8 speed auto.
The only 6 speeds I know if are the Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200
Depraved Christian My 2013 RAM 1500 with a 4.7/6SP Shifts from 1st at 45 MPH to 2nd, and hits 60 in 2nd gear.
Worst transmission of all time!!
You lie about not using a gear. This CVT has an auxiliary gear to extend the transmitting ratio to x7 with such a compact size.
"*virtually* eliminates them"
+André Campana Merétika And it's very weak compared to other cvt models from other manufacturer, bro. They support turbo boost up to 0.4bar without being trashed by overwhelming power like Jatco's(Nissan). Nissan's CVTs with Nissan's TCM mapping will die in 3 minutes after getting boosted.
LOL THIS OLD NOW. SO MUCH CHANGED!
THEY DONT HOLD THE GEAR ANY MORE IT HAS A SHIFT POINTs NOW
BUT IM AT 77000 miles now so doing good in my 2018 maxima
Cvt transmissions are good have a 2014 nissan rogue with it and it so smooth and runs great with 66,000 miles on it now. On The other hand my 2018 nissan sentra with the cvt only has 13,600 but when i bought the car brand new 8 months ago i notice it wasn't running right and now its sitting at the nissan dealership getting a brand new cvt put into it cuz there is something wrong with the transmission I'm just glad that its getting fixed i travel once a month from Vegas to utah and my last trip i was just praying that my transmission wouldn't got out and leave me stranded.. i am glad i made to and from Utah safe and now my car is sitting at the nissan dealership getting a new CVT in it
Imagine driving with anxiety, Nissan! unreliable car
this transmission is the worst fcking thing that's happened to Nissan in the past 10-15 years. move on, cars like the maxima deserve much better than this pos.
Xtronic cvt there better they last longer to
My ‘21 Altima says otherwise… did all the 20k fluid changes and haven’t driven this car hard at all and it’s still going out. They’re just as bad now as they ever were… if not worse
But why does it drop at 4000rpms😂 bc mine does
I heat CVT transmission
Isnt this just like a dual clutch?
SINCERELY YOUR'S CHARLETNEWTON
Yeah right ill keep my 04 nissan one not buying those junk cvt transition
junk junk junk
Please test your cvt transmission like FIA World Endurance Championship. I think it will fail within 2 hours.
Behold, the worst transmission on the planet!!
I have a 2013 fully loaded Sentra, huge mistake. the video makes it sound like it has great pickup and you don't feel shifting, false...... My 2013 has been in the shop several times. They have one of the shortest transmission warranty's at only 60K. Maybe because they have had many problems with this crappy transmission. I took mine back in at 57K. transmission was intermittently reviving and slipping. the said they couldn't duplicate the problem at the dealership. I argued because the warranty was ending (bought it brand new, saleman told me it had 100K on the warranty. lie) I had to take it because they refused to fix it stating it wasn't broken. I managed to drive it another year and it never seemed right, Nissan dealer kept saying it was the way that transmission works. Took it in this weekend, surging much worse. Drove it in. They adjusted something in the transmission that was on a recall. But told me my transmission needed to be replaced. 4k for a transmission in that car! I went to pick it up and now it won't even run. Sitting at a dealership while I fight with Nissan that needs a week to see if they will do anything but the rep said don't get your hopes up. I will seek an attorney. Nissan avoided a recall on all Sentra's and other Nissans from the years of 2003-2010 because they doubled the warranty. But they never notified anyone. they did this to avoid a recall is what a legal forum on this car stated. They have had issues with this transmission and that is why the warranty on the new ones is less than everyone on the market. don't by a Nissan, the Nissan rep has been nothing but rude. My car sits at a dealership. This transmission sucks and is more than 2x what it cost to fix a normal transmission.
some one should get a class action going.
Miserable sentraowner oh God , I have a 2013 Nissan Sentra and it began to make a horrid noise and soon after it won't drive properly. I have 64,425 miles on the car and they said the warranty was up at 60k. I'm getting it towed there tomorrow and I hope I don't get into an argument with anyone but this is ridiculous. I should've gotten a Honda.
Kash Cru I feel your pain, I just got a 2014 Nissan sentra for uber and lyft and the transmission went out within 3-4 hours after I bout it, luckily it was under warranty so it should last another 30,000 miles or so...smh
topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/820434-nissan-class-action-alleges-sentra-transmission-defect/
I'll keep my 2003 maxima instead
I like CVT!
Until it goes
20 + years in the cvt buisness, still behind everyone in reliability.
Nissan...we had CVT for 20 years...Soviet Union in the 60s....we got CVT.
Cvt is garbage don’t Nissan with cvt transmission
