The transmission on my 2017 Nissan Altima failed after 35,000 miles. The tranimssion was rebuilt a week ago and the rebuilt cvt transmission also failed before the car reached 36,000 miles. I do not trust Nissan transmissions and feel that this car will fail on me again stops acclerating which has happened to me twice already.
Cvt - continuous variable transmission failure and needs replacement with 2017 Nissan Altima sl and 37k miles on the vehicle. All highway miles and car is exactly 2 years young. Car would not go forward or in reverse.
The cvt transmission failed which traveling on the highway. Car decelerated on the highway. I drifted to an exit and managed to get to a park and ride. This presented a serious safety issue on the highway as I tried to drift across a side road to a park and ride.
Transmission failed on interstate at approximately 70mph. I was told by the Nissan dealership garage manager that they really don't know why they fail except that they think the transmission overheats due to undersized pump and mesh not allowing enough circulation. Everything was replaced at Nissan's expense, however I have no confidence in the repair. When this happened there was not a single warning light or message that appeared on the dash.
