Hi All, Just an update, if you're out of your warranty with Nissan, I'd recommend TOCO Warranty, I took out a policy with them for $55 /mo and they'll cover the transmission and other mechanical issues. I bought it at 111,480 miles and that was my price per month with no commitment. If you call them, mention Steve Torti (me) and we'll both be eligible for a discount, (818) 691-1270 ask for Daurie Bolwell. NISSAN SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THIS!! but it is what it is.

You're actually supposed to do a fluid flush (a very special kind that is temp controlled and specific type of fluid/system to flush and replace), at the dealership, every 60,000-90,000 miles. I had purchased mine used at 62k, but had later come to find the fluid flush which I read in the manual hadn't been done yet. I immediately noticed a much smoother ride and more responsiveness.

Useful for overtaking and with more power the acceleration 80-120km/h makes a difference. The CVTs due to their nature are simply not build for this and the best acceleration is with around 40% of gas pedal. It is not a problem to find a fun to drive car (mazda mx-5 for example) but the problem is to find a more practical fun to drive car. I drove only 2 cars with CVTs and I did not like it.

Nissan Uses Jatco

@Ghost-vr5zg

6 жыл бұрын

I know its been 6 months, but it has more to do with the design of the cvt. Instead of using a set of gears it uses 2 variable diameter pulleys that use oil pressure to get squeeze a cone like shape around a belt. Basically as the cone squeezes the effective gear gets smaller or bigger but because they use a steel belt made of 400ish tiny steel elements wrapped by ring packs, they can only handle a limited amount of hp. Lets say 300ish hp. The benefit of this design over traditional gears is that you can go though all your ratios "gears" continuously without stopping power to the drive train to shift into each gear, and can be infinitely variable, which means a lot of programing can be done here. Think 20 different transmission modes from ultra sleepy comfort to sport track race plus plus silver edition mode. The downside is the weakest link with the most stress is that complex steel belt, or as I call them, your main rubber band. Either way I feel like as we see this tech used more and more they will be able to handle more power but ill never convert to cvt! good for the masses maybe

A lot the mess of these transmissions going out is that no one knows how to keep up on maintenance. My 2016 Sentra started having problems on hills at 62000 miles. I performed a complete transmission flush and it now runs smooth as it did off the lot. Point is keep up with maintenance people. I noticed in the video the miles are over 80k.

I'll agree with you --after experiencing a CVT failure in my Versa --but the dealership/sales people need to educate customers about this maintenance. A true automatic transmission doesn't fail altogether if you don't regularly change the fluid. These become dangerous if you miss the maintenance.

196k on my 08 rogue. Original transmission. Problem is not changing cvt fluid at suggested intervals with NISSAN fluid or punching the acceletator from a stop all the time. Quick lube shops will destroy the cvt.

How often was the fluid changed on this?

It looks like it went into Safe/Limp mode for some reason. It does that to protect the CVT transmission. If you unplug the negative wire on the battery for about 20 minutes and the MAF sensor. It should allow you to drive it. I have heard that adding a Transmission cooler will stop your car from going into Safe/Limp mode. I have also heard of people having your same exact problem and then taking it to a dealer and being told the Transmission needs to be replaced. They decided to get a cooler instead and it fixed the problem. I am wondering if your video is just an ad for a Warranty company.

I actually encountered this whine myself in my 08 Altima but you HAVE to catch it as soon as possible. In that case, you need to drop the fluid and change the filter. This is exactly what I did to mine and it’s been running like a champ ever since and made the whine go away. The CVT is starving of fluid because this guy never changed the filter. Lmao.

I have a 2012 Altima with more than 250,000 Km and it runs perfectly. Also have a 2008 Rogue with 150,000 km that needed CVT repair during the warranty period. Nissan fixed it free - put in a refurbished 2012 CVT as a replacement - it is a better design than the 2008 version. You have to drive a CVT more “gently” than a conventional transmission - and find a Nissan master mechanic who knows how to keep the engine and tranny tuned. I have driven Nissans since ‘81 with no major repairs - just regular maintenance and replacement of parts due to normal wear. Drive the car like you pay for your own gas and you might find it will last a long time.

Yeah the problem with CVT fluids is that unless you just take it in on a hunch, you might not know it's about to fail until the moment it happens. CVTs don't give off the same (or as many) "signs" of failing like a regular geared automatic does.

@@jasonquil2006 Yep, with my Versa putting the pedal to the floor was largely just for dramatic flair...it didn't make the car go any faster than a moderate press of the pedal, maybe even slower 😂. The mechanics of a CVT are very cool, but I think the tech is still kinda "meh". Geared transmissions are still better, it's just that CVTs are better fit for a "fuel conscious" world. But the don't perform as well and I think they feel much worse than a standard 5-speed. The car loses some important cues for knowing how your car is accelerating.

I nevered knew why thier was a issue with nissan cvt transmission the fact came out that is not how the transmission was made it was the fuel type NS3 that cause the chains and belts to slip. If you turn your car on cold and brutal accelerate the transmission will soon cause the belts to slide best solution to warm the car right and I'm not talking about the temperature gauge I recommend changing the transmission oil and put Amsoil CVT Transmission fluid your car will last longer on transmission with no issues.

The SATURN VUE had an optional CVT for two? years-stopped offering it because so many failed. Does anybody know the mfg. they used? Recent was shopping for a used Saturn-saw a showroom condition 2005 Vue-turned it down because it had the CVT.

When looking for a compact car, I was considering the Sentra, Corolla or the Civic but I didn't like the CVT. The Focus transmission is trash, and I didn't really like the elantra's dual clutch either. I didn't really like the look of the new Cruze, So I chose the Jetta, not only because it's a great value and you can get a great deal for the 2017 model year since a redesigned Jetta comes out next year, but because it and the Cruze are the only compact cars on the market today that has a traditional automatic. Everyone else is either dual clutch or CVT.

Okay sothe way it changes gear ratios is with the belt and centrifugal force there's little rollers that are weighted that move outward as the shaft rotates those are probably stuff or out of alignment that is what causes the different sand ratio in the belt on the input side from the engine then at higher speeds the other shaft will adjust as well this is generally adjusted with a torque sensor in a spring either one could be jammed either way very easy fix unless you have a e CVT transmission those incorporate electric motors

Mr. Will The Nissan dealerships are super sketchy because they know this is a major issue with the 2013 altima's. They know it'll cost a lot of money to fix so they're avoiding the problem at all costs. Your car should be under warranty for 60k miles unless you purchased an extended warranty when you bought the car. Otherwise you're pretty much out of luck. Nissan will say it is a computer issue but when you take it into the shop they will update the system but nothing will change. My friend who is a mechanic gave me two options. Pay $3-5k to replace the trans with the exact same CVT and risk it breaking again or trade in my car and get something else. I chose the latter. Anyways, there are no codes that show up at other car shops to say their is a transmission problem which is why a lot of mechanic shops can't specifically identify the problem when trying to run a diagnostic. It's a huge problem for many drivers. You can google "2013 Nissan Altima problems" and you will see a ton of issues people are having with their transmissions. Hope this helps anyone with the issue.

Really it comes down to how you drive the cvt i have a 2007 Nissan Altima with 122,000 on her and she still runs fine but i do baby her. These cars do not like hills st low rpms or extra weight so if your plaining on going for an five hour drive with the car fully loaded then good luck cause the cvt will definitely get into safe mode or start to whine also days where its real hot and ive been driving for hours the cvt will whine, best thing to do if your taking long drives is rest the car for 30 minutes and let the cvt cool nissan wont tell you this because you shouldnt have to do this in any car. Lucky for me i dont drive for long periods at a time and try to keep the weight load and hill climbing to a minimum. I love the because of the power i get from the 3.5vq v5 engine but I will not be buying another nissan or any car with a cvt transmission.

To be fair the car has over 150k on it but the fluid has been changed every 50k miles. I have driven a few vehicles with the CVT and had no issues but I've also driven a couple with issues. Regular automatics and Dual Clutch automated manuals have their faults too but their kinks have been polished out for the most part. CVT's on the other hand, not so much.

But first you have to learn how to use them 😂. With over 15 years of automatic driving under my belt, I can't for the life of me figure out why I would want to destroy a standard gearbox just to learn how to drive with lower fuel economy🤣. The fact is automatic transmissions are better than most manual trannies today. Just the regular, geared autos, not the funky CVTs. So why learn a harder way to drive that doesn't save on gas and isn't any more reliable than a good 5-speed?

I'll never understand why people even buy these. Have they never heard of Toyota and Honda? You never hear about the transmission in a Camry or Accord or Corolla being notoriously unreliable

People before you condemn a CVT check things like the purge vale . MAF sensor , accelerator pedal sensor.etc. I had a nissan doing this and it was a bad purge and vent vale, an dirty throttle body. The car in the video may also be in LIMP mode due to other sensor inputs not sending the correct signals to the ECM.

Use any other fluid than Genuine Nissan and you will void your warranty. I'm not sure why the dealer you went to was refusing to change the fluid, I would get it done at a another dealership.

ShockinglyBleh indeed. you can even hear the CVT unit whining. that means it is overheated. it is overheated because that old fluid can't cool the CVT off anymore, it's cooling propertirs have been burned off. also the fluid has friction material in it that keeps the metal belt from slipping on the pulleys. once the fluid is toast, so is the friction material so it's only a matter of time before the belt slips on the pulleys if it hasn't already. that is instant non-repairable damage. go find a better Nissan dealer if you haven't already.

Those Jatco CVT transmissions used by nissan as garbage making all Nissan cars garbage as well.

Note: Nissan owns most of Jatco.

90% of the time its typically the transmission pump that fails which won't allow fluid to flow and that will cause what you heard on the video. Replaced the transmission pump on my 05 altima sport at 150k miles. 75K later no issuses

The dirty fluid jam the pump, and shift will stuck due to lack of fluid and cause lime mode, …. Changing the fluid and filter and tapping base pan will kick thing back to operation as normal works for me.

The 05 Altima had a conventional automatic transmission, the CVT came for model year 2007.

Starting watching and looking up videos on Nissan junk transmissions two yrs ago, when this same failure occurred with the 2018 Nissan Sentra I rented from Enterprise at the airport, caused me to miss my home flight and i had to catch a uber ride and rebook another one way ticket, at my own expense. I personally would never even dream of buying a Nissan unless it was a traditional or dual clutch automatic, or the good ol fashioned, moden day anti theft manual gearbox.

That's why I hate nissians cvt transmission they are bad on the Altima and maxima and sentra

Nissan fucked up big time by adding the CVT transmission to the 2007 and newer models. They all went to shit and they all have issues eventually or even immediately. I love my 2004 Maxima SL with 121K miles with 0 issues so far! Great car

Well it is a JATCO CVT. I'm surprised any cars with a CVT from them make it out of the factory

Damn my mom had a 2013 Altima that failed in the same manner as yours…at 20K miles! This was in 2019 btw

Had a 2013 altima , CVT failed on slight uphill on a very busy Rt. 1 in traffic. So lucky I didn't get nailed in the back. What a piece of shit CVT transmission. I will never buy another Nissan. Also was in the shop 3 times for brake squeeling issue..I was in process of LEMON law but when this transmission thing happened, I traded in the car very quickly. Nissan is well aware of this dangerous issue

That brake squealing thing for Nissan is an annoying issue! My mom has a 2012 that squeals in spite of getting new pads and we're going to try a second pair to see if it it will stop. I noticed it happening when a 2017 or 2018 Nissan Murano pulled to a stop next to us at a light and it was squealing. I was like, WTF really? I could see it happening on an older car, but a new one? Unacceptable, Nissan.

Ehh, I'm less apt to believe these videos. People will tell you and show you stories of their vehicles dying prematurely, but they won't report their maintenance history. Nissan isn't the best at informing their customers about maintenance intervals, but it's our jobs as consumers to do exstensive research prior to committing to a purchase. I had a 2007 Nissan Altima 3.5SE that drove fine and I got 201,734 miles on the original CVT and engine before it was totaled by an asshole who failed to look to see me coming. I changed my CVT fluid every 30k miles and my oil every 3750 miles. I would drive 200 miles round trip for work and raced the fuck out of my car. Most of these stories are user error. Just saying.

Brilliant. Freaking. Post. I hate that people expect to buy a car and not figure anything needs any maintenance ever, until there's a problem, at which point it's an automatic leap to "FUCK NISSAN I'M NEVER BUYING THEIR SHIT AGAIN AS LONG AS THEY HAVE CVT".

Vehicles should NOT need maintenance to this extent being still practically new, and clearly it is not a few people having this issue, it is MANY MANY people with THE EXACT SAME ISSUE.

@@meaganrosemunoz7621First of all, watch the tone and language you have in your reply to me. I didn't attack your bank account nor did I force you to buy the vehicle so cut that shit. Secondly, there are laws and warranties in place for your protection. ANY CONSUMER, especially in today's age should be aware of the risk when purchasing any product. Cars are a guaranteed liability anyway so it's imperative that you take steps to make the most of that liability and you protect yourself. I'm aware you're frustrated, but most, if not all car companies, aren't building their cars to last anymore as its about market growth and share. I'm giving you my testimony in my experience of owning and having worked on my OWN 2 Nissan Altimas and getting them to well over 200k miles. So yes it sucks that you're having issues with your car, but I guarantee you, it's more than just Nissan. EVERY automaker is having some form of quality issue.

LOL boy I am a grown woman I will speak as I please.. x'D, I am just stating the obvious, you were blaming the consumer and how they treat a vehicle regardless, when it is very obviously a flaw within the company itself, and it is absolutely ridiculous that they refuse to take responsibility for an ongoing issue. We should not have to do extensive research for a new vehicle on whether or not it is reliable. ITS NEW.. it SHOULD be reliable. That is all I wanted to point out.. and trust me I know too, this is also my second Altima (previously had an '08, only problem was air compressor went out so I sold it to my dad and upgraded, he fixed the minimal issue and is practically like new lol), and my sister in law has the same make and model as I currently do, and she rags that thing and has twice the miles that I do, and yet I have more issues than she does (Not fair lol) I am not trying to be snippy with you, and you are right, it is obviously a marketing thing, and people eat it up. It is ridiculous without a doubt. Also not gonna lie, the new body style is so sleek!

You shouldn't have to worry about new cars being crap on you, but even Honda is having this issue with the gasoline seeping into the engine bay diluting the oil. Hyundai/Kia is having problems with their cars spontaneously combusting and Toyota, they're okay, but I'll never forget how they had the spontaneous acceleration of their cars and blackballed a private investigator who found the problem and destroyed her life because she became the whistleblower of the ongoing decade investigation. But hopefully Nissan will get their shit together because their transmissions are or can be shit, but I'm like you, I love the way they look.
