I'm pretty sure the stepper motor and 4 coils are all accessible if you drop the pan and remove the valve body. Would definitely have been worth investigating. Nissan is big about recommending replacement of the CVT for almost any reason at all. The do the same thing with the TC. Instead of replacing seals they just say replace entire unit. Its kind of sad.

Change the step motor and put new oil in - it will run fine, unless Ivan didn't tell us everything the owner shared about the CVT behavior a bit before, before the issue. The job is labor intensive and quite messy - on most CVT the stepper motor is not accessible without removing the valve-body. I'm not a mechanic and took me 5h to do that + it took me 2h extra to find on the web witch bolts to remove in order to get the valve-body out. Ivan is a master, plus he has the tools and probably his alldata subscription will give him the bolts location in a jiffy.

I have a 2019 Malibu with a CVT, it has been excellent, and the car currently has 180K miles, still working perfectly

Ended up only paying $2.5k to get the transmission replaced with Nissan paying for half of it. So maybe another 100k miles on the car? Kudos to Nissan.

@JohnB-dr8sk

Actually, any transmission can be killed in this environment if they are always run in regular "D" mode. They should be be downshifted at least one gear, put in "Sport Mode," or put in "D3" in they are a regular transmission. Same goes if you are driving around town at under 35mph. Especially if the town is hilly. Police around the country figured this out because when they ran regular "D" mode in their police cars driving around town constantly, it would destroy their transmissions. They solved this issue by issuing orders to use "D3" all the time unless they were on the highway.

Jatco was good at building regular conventional Automatic transmissions and transaxles. Just not CVT’s. I do agree that the Jatco CVT is probably the worst transaxle on the planet currently in recent automotive history. Regular automatic transmissions are more solid mechanically than that piece of crap. That Jatco CVT has a very weak belt in it which is very weak to heat. If that belt breaks I think Nissan recommends that you replace the whole unit than repairing it. Most transmission shops wouldn’t want to rebuild those CVTs. Both regular manual and automatic transmissions are way more durable than CVT’s by the look of the mechanicals. A couple of old school automatic transmissions that will beat this Jatco CVT by a long shot and in the long run will be these legendary models such as the Ford C6, Mopar Torqueflite 727, and GM THM-400 and these are gods in strength compared to the Jatco CVT.

A new step motor runs about $75 at Rockauto. It doesn’t look too hard to replace.

A Nissan with CVT problems? I would've never guessed. Those CVT's just can't hold up. Do not buy their cars with CVT until Nissan is willing to step up and warranty it for 10yrs 200k miles.

Tip for you Ivan .... always smell the trans oil ... you will smell if it's burnt. Same goes for power steering fluid.

My mom had a 2015 Nissan Versa, and she had a problem with the CVT as well she was coming home, and the transmission wouldn't "shift" to the next gear ratio would just be stuck in one "gear". The car started to lose power even if she put her foot down, and barely made it back home. She had around 80, or 90 thousand miles on it.

2016 Nissan Rogue SV AWD here, transmission completely went at 97k kilometres (~61k miles). Was totally unable to drive the car, luckily got it replaced by Nissan under warranty.

In your opinion, can driving a car with automatic transmission almost always in hilly or mountainous areas, but without ever towing anything, significantly shorten the life of the automatic transmission itself? In my opinion, certainly yes: just see how much more effort you put in pedaling uphill with a bicycle.

The Toyota E-CVTs are not ones you have to worry about, they do in fact not have belts or adjustable pullies and are very reliable. They work way different using planetary gearsets, the torque of the engine and the torque of the electric motor to vary ratios. They are very reliable as they are mechanically very simple, extremely robust. No slipping parts at all, barely any parts to wear. Honda's CVTs are good too.

A year and a half ago the clutch pack burned up in my 2016 Ford focus se, at 66k miles, fortunate enough to have purchased the service protection plan at the dealership. Whereas before that car, i had a 2013 ford focus se, exact same car and engine and transmission, had 76k miles on it and no issues whatsoever, until a suspected intoxicated driver ran a stop sign and slammed into me, throwing the car across the roadway into a chain link fence and into some pinetrees in a residential back yard. I can say ford makes very safe vehicles though, they had to use the jaws of life to extract me from the wreckage, and only had a few scrapes and cuts and some abrasions, most likely caused by the side curtain airbags.

A company I worked for had a fleet of Nissan Xtrails and nearly all of them had to have the gearboxs replaced over several years with 1 car needing 3 gearboxs, they then replaced the cars a few years later with the latest model Xtrail and we had one car that would randomly drop back into first gear at any given speed. I personally would never buy one.

Hey- the older Nissans were cool... 2011 and they began to suck badly. Really it began to go bad in the early 2000s with the Maxima and their issues. I always LOVED how their cars looked... but in the long-run of longevity... not great. My parents used to daily drive a 2006 INFINITI FX45 AWD and it had the brown interior and exterior. It was cool, but it began to have exhaust issues around 90k miles. They also had an 03 Prius which the battery went out shortly after we sold the INFINITI. Both of them are still on the roads in Austin, TX, but it shows how Nissan/Renault/INFINITI's quality has really gone down lately. It's worth mentioning that there are other cars that are WAY, WAY, WAY better than any Nissan, and modern Nissan cars lack some of the tech of their competitors. If you ever really wanted a Rogue to go forever due to the style, your best bet is an attempt to put a ZF transmission in it, and it's not stock. This basically means that the owner of this rogue needs to junk It right now. Sorry, good-looking crossover thing.

Hey step motor, whatcha doing.

Hmm looks familiar, I have a 2004 micro cvt that sometimes jumps into “low gear” when what I consider under load (driving up hill, pulling away from lights) but only if the throttle is in a specific position - it’s only ever a problem when it randomly does it on the motorway at 70mph - could it be a similar problem or something else? It’s done nearly 130k.
