This cvt control variable transmission in these cars go out so fast. The cvt transmission went out at around 115,000. We replace it because we pressed the gas and no acceleration when stop light turned green. Then missed the light then it accelerated late and almost got hit by on coming car. We just replaced this cvt transmission in July 30, 2020 at around about price of $5000. The only place that it can be replaced is through the Nissan dealership. They only guarantee their work for 1 years time. It is starting to malfunction in just over 14 months time. This is only after a little over a year worth of driving. This is ridiculous the amount of money people pay for them on to get $5000 worth of quality equipment. This is a safety hazard driving through dallas traffic and no shoulder to pull over on because of construction. I have seen on the internet so many complaints about these cvt transmissions. This is the second time transmission problems already replace cvt at 115, 000 miles. Now needs another replacement at 139, 000?.

Upon coming to a stop the car does not want to accelerate, it jerks sometimes, if you go check on any Nissan forum or youtube comments you will see this is a major problem with these vehicles and can cause serious harm in traffic or crossing intersections, I am very surprised there hasnt been a recall yet. Its the cvt transmission! thousands of people have this problem and the extended warranty cuts off in 2011 so 2012 or newer we are s. O. L. It happens everytime I stop.

Takata recall. When driving the vehicle between 40 -50 the rpms would jump then go back down and jump again, this started 2 weeks ago , while driving the car today in traffic, the car did not want to move then jumped into gear and back out . Nissan knows that this is a big problem, and they need to address the problem.

I was driving my Maxima on cruise control at 70 mph and the rpm was fluctuating while driving on the freeway from 2000 to 3000 rpm. It would not go from there and the car dropped speed. This happened various of times throughout my travel. I looked up problems it could of been and I walked into a blog with many Nissan consumers experiencing the same problem on their cvt transmission for their vehicle.

Car has trans code p1778, while traveling at 75mph car will lose power and rpms jump very high with no acceleration. Car only has 81,000 miles, why is it that 1,000s of vehicles have this same issue but nothing is being done for the consumers? shame on Nissan and the federal govt.

Vehicle would not accelerate moving from a stopped position on city road with a 45 mile per hour speed limit. Also sluggish on a turn. Would accelerate slowly then jump to a higher acceleration. Was advised by dealer to not drive it and bring in. Was found to have 3 kill codes which meant it needed a new transmission to the tune of $4300. 00. Car had 90,000 miles and is well maintained. No Nissan extended warranty for this model year on the powertrain. Was advised other years powertrain warranty was extended by Nissan. Nissan needs to extend warranty as this problem has occurred on many 2012 models.

This is my second Nissan Maxima that has experienced problems with the transmission. Every Maxima I buy every time the car reaches 100,000 and is out of warranty the transmissions goes out. I contacted Nissan to have someone look into this as a problem with their vehicles and they informed me that they hadn't received and complaints about transmissions.

Currently at 130,000 miles, original owner, I just replaced my 3rd and 4th front wheel bearings, one of which was a genuine Nissan part. Failures were not critical but their "loose" condition would not pass state inspection criteria. Prior to this, the original front bearings separately experienced critical road failures with excess noise, heat and separation. Bearings were replaced at 79,000 (left) and 45,000 miles (right). Maintenance records are available.
