My cvt transmission went out just 5 months after purchasing the vehicle from the used car dealership, ebersole of lebanon. The vehicle has 94,000 miles on it currently. It is an automatic cvt transmission and tends to slip in and out of gear a lot. The vehicle has these problems when sitting, driving and accelerating as well.
The cvt transmission slips and gives uneven acceleration under all circumstances. This is extremely dangerous when merging into traffic or turning into oncoming traffic. This is a known issue to Nissan na & many lawsuits have been filed over the years. The first transmission was replaced at 20,000 miles & another was just replaced at 85,000 miles. Nissan knows that they are providing an inferior product, based on the # of lawsuits it has faced over the years concerning the cvt. Not only is the product unreliable, it is also dangerous to the driver, the vehicle's occupants and anyone else who may affected by an accident caused by cvt failure.
Front coil springs are cracked, transmission cvt slips and I have to depress accelerator to be able to change gears.
I have a 2012 Nissan Versa sv with a cvt transmission in it. At about 110000 miles the transmission started slipping. It was recommended that we do a drain and fill on the transmission, that was done car made it 5 miles and transmission went completely out. The dealership mentioned to my wife this has a 50/50 chance of working. On their statement they posted that it needed a 4000 transmission before she left the lot with it. I have done a lot of reading on these cvt transmissions and they are notorious for issues all the way up until 2010 they even extended the warranty to 10 years 120,000 miles, Nissan does not want to stand behind this they have offered us 750. 00 on a known defect with these transmissions.
