I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 220,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.

Exactly whyni have 354k on my cvt and I hate it shifting so I drive it easy. Having 2 shift all those times I fine annoying when driving easily. I think they should've offered both. An updated cvt with a better ratio spread so it can get off the line quicker and offer the 9spd.

There are many documented cases of Nissian CVT failure before the required maintenance, or failure of the transmission before 100k even with the service. There might be alot of mitigating factors like the amount of city vs highway driving or if the transmission service that was done correctly, but there were enough Jatco transmission failures that point to something beyond bad drivers or lack of maintenance. Nissian even attempted a computer software fix to solve the issue. Apparently Subaru has also had some issues with their CVT transmission. Hondas equipped with a CVT seem to have very few problems.

@@RT-mm8rq I've seen problems here n there with the accord cvt previous generation but not a crazy amount. Something small I think mustve caused the problems. Not the hardware itself but programming and other parts that's responsible for moving transmission fluid around. I drove massive amounts of city miles. I use 2 only drive I'm nyc jersey city and Newark for the 1st 200k but lived in the burbs. Spent about 50hrs a week driving in the city. The rest was hwy miles back home. I now live in nyc though but travel 2 the burbs just north. Many hills. I beat the crap out of my car more than almost anyone else would. Question is why did mine last this long?

@@occckid123 I can't really say. If it's human error as in somehow the transmission were occasionally assembled wrong then they could trace that back to the factory, possibly right to a specific person. If it's a design issue then you would think that there might be an even higher failure rate. Or maybe the design fails under specific circumstances, extreme cold or hot weather, lots of humidity or dryness even areas that have alot of dust or sand. Things like that could specificly affect one critical component. If this were true you would notice higher failure rates in a particular region or seasons. My other thought is that many manufacturers outsource components and the quality of those parts might be in question. Bad quality control could result in some " bad batches " being shipped to Jatco. Overall I don't know, it sounds as if there is very little middle ground. Some customers have Nissian CVTs that last 100k to 200k+ while others crapped as little as 20k. I do know that Nissian reputation has been hammered by this which is a shame because I do like some of there vehicles. I've owned a couple of 80s and 90s Maximus and they were great reliable cars. Until they work out the problem or replace the CVT I wouldn't consider buying a Nissan equipped with one.

I have 2007 Maxima with 150k miles on it. Changing the fluids as required by the manual, it has been most reliable car I've owned. (Previous cars I owned, Toyota, Audi, Lincoln, Cadillac) I welcome this ZF9 transmission but I honestly don't see whats the big drama about CVT. My maxima doesn't hunt gears, no lags, when I need to accelerate, power is always there. People complaining about CVT not having gears falls head over hills for Tesla. Someone needs to remind them Tesla is a single gear car, and just like that same people compaining about CVT have absolutely no issues with a single gear Tesla.

Similar or better. ZF9 allows for better low end acceleration and high end fuel economy. This is likely the reason they swapped out the CVT. I wouldn't be surprised if it got 30 mpg highway.

The 1st time I drove a car with a CVT transmission I was test driving a new Subaru Legacy. It had such an odd feel to it while exellerating that I actually thought the transmission was defective. The salesmen explained to me that it was different but normal. Needless to say I passed and I'm glad I did, even Subaru had some major issues with their CVTs.

I have one and it is everything in a nut shell and more. The Navigation system need work, it cannot find anything and I constantly have to result to relying on my Apple IPhone. The tire presser guage goes blank at times and at barely 4k miles, the muffler has black stuff as if it is running rich, I will keep an eye on these questionable issues. Outside of the negatives, there are a ton of positives and one is a smoother ride then my Lincoln that I traded in for this Pathfinder. In the end, this is a Beautiful piece of work!

I'm curious to know what took so long for Nissan to abandon the CVT and what the engineers attribute the change of direction to. Was it the leadership under Carlos Ghosn that prevented the change sooner?

CVT works in Japan where driving style and speeds are very different to ROW. Much like Toyota, Nissan got wedded to the technology and took a long time to turnaround, although CVT is still in use in many other models.

It was definitely a Carlos Ghosn era decision to go widespread with the CVT for the simple reason of cost. They're still going to use them, but obviously using more wisdom where they do and the CVTs in the newer models seem to work better.

I owned an 18 Pathfinder Platinum and HATED the CVT and steering system. My steering wheel would actually try to pull the opposite direction I was turning. I was also astonished that Nissan was still using the same dash that was in my 2006 M35X. The seats were also uncomfortable on long highway trips. I think that Nissan needs to go back to a RWD architecture over FWD. I also hope they improved the seats and made the passenger seat adjustments that same as the driver’s.

Kudos for them getting rid of CVT. But, have they fixed the absolute worst paint quality of any car manufacturer status they've had forever? Living in the Southwest I wouldn't buy a Nissan just due to that alone after seeing what happens to their paint in relative few years in sunny environments.
