Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Our CVT transmission went out while going 70 down the highway. Completely out of the blue, no prior symptoms. No acceleration. Almost got into multiple accidents. Nissan will not pay anything to help us with this, despite the thousands of submitted issues with CVT transmissions. Our family has 3 nissans and 2 have had CVT failures. We will never buy Nissan's again.”
NHTSA complaint #11340945, filed 2020-07, 94,000 miles“My vehicle currently has approx 65,000 miles on it and recently started making loud noise when accelerating above 45 MPH. Took to Nissan dealer and informed a new transmission is needed. No recall is listed for this issue despite numerous complaints posted with similar issue on various websites. Nissan will not acknowledge problem when I spoke to consumer affairs department.”
NHTSA complaint #11372291, filed 2020-10, 65,000 miles“Transmission failed at 62912 miles. Shudder, jerking, power loss, whining noise, lurching. The car 'jumping' forward almost caused me to hit a car in front of me on the thomas johnson bridge during rush hour traffic. . The sudden power loss caused great concern for safety on the I-95 beltway. I am grateful no one got hurt.”
NHTSA complaint #11221596, filed 2019-06, 62,912 miles“Apparently, according to my mechanic at jamie's tire in xenia ohio, all wheel drive nissans are having problems with the rear differential electrical coupler going bad. This causes it to slip and cause damage to the differential. According to him I am not the first with this problem”
NHTSA complaint #11387755, filed 2021-01, 80,000 miles“Vehicle was bought new, 77k miles and I experienced sudden shaking, shuddering and I tried to at least get it home but it will not accelerate at all. Cvt transmission absolutely and prematurely quit on me! Ridiculous! Get it together Nissan, lives are at risk with this!!”
