My car is very reliable until now with only 105,000 miles? my problem started about September 2020 when I started to hear my car make a rough sound suddenly, like a winding noise when I accelerate and when I let off the gas as well. I didn't think much of it until I took it to a Nissan dealer to have them check it out. They called me the next day tell me I need a new transmission and its going to be around $5,500. Which I don't have especially in this pandemic. Also they told me if I get the new transmission it only comes with 1 year warranty. Nissan only covers it until 60,000 miles which I don't believe people buying a new Nissan expect it to go further then that! my issue is that Nissan is putting in these faulty transmissions knowing that it will fail soon and only give you 1 year warranty if you do replace it after pay 5,500?.
Brought vehicle to repair shop because of noise. Repair shop informed me that noise comes from transmission. Did some investigation and found that Nissan has had issues with these cvt transmissions. Nissan had a recall for all years until 2010 including 2010. Not 2011. This is the same transmission that fails prematurely. I called the dealer $145 diagnostic. No guarantees that Nissan will provide "goodwill assistance" . Why did recall stop in 2010?.
Takata recall. Car made a noise and then stalled. Pulled over and car would not go in drive or reverse. Transmission went out in vehicle.
