3 things to keep in mind, 1. Do not try to accelerate hard, be very easy on the gas, especially when taking off from a complete stop. 2. When you park, keep your foot on the brake pedal and use the parking brake before turning the engine off, this will hold the car with the brake and not the CVT belt. 3. Change the fluid every 30,000 miles.

Awesome music. Really takes away from whatever you're talking about.

Thank you! So kind of you to make videos like these. I own a 2016 Nissan Sentra and I'll def take these tips when maintaining my car to avoid future problems.

Your English speaking skills are very good. Thanks for the good information on the CVTs, very helpful.

Have a 2011 Rogue & this was my 1st & last Nissan. Had this vehicle for over a year & only nice thing I have to say about it is it gets good gas mileage.

I love the Nissan CVT information videos. I have a 2012 Rogue S with a CVT. at 128,000 miles(just beyond the 120,000 warranty). I started experiencing major issues that you have discussed (whining,limp mode, etc.) I had followed Nissan service recommendations of fluid replacement at every 60K miles. However, when it was deemed that I was S.O.L., I did some research. And I installed an aftermarket oil cooler and replaced the original Transmission preheater with one from an SL Model. I came to find that the SL Models equipped with a tow package have the same transmission except for the pre-heater. The SL pre-heater has 2 extra ports for the installation of an auxiliary transmission cooler. I was able to prolong my transmissions life to 180,000 miles. I then replaced the trans with a low mileage unit. and I applied the SL pre-heater and a new cooler, as well as now change fluid at every 40,000 miles (the fluid is disgusting at 40K). And so now I have almost 300,000 miles on my Rogue. I purchased the pre-heater and cooler for around $150.00 and they are an easy DIY project. (although I'm fairly mechanically inclined, since I did replace my trans myself). BTW.....my Nissan Dealer hates Me, because they can't sell me a new Nissan and I try to share my new found knowledge with everyone. And I have found that when doing a fluid replacement with Genuine Nissan NS2 CVT fluid, the capacity with the cooler installed and operating correctly is 8.25 quarts.

I just subscribed to you and I'm not easily impressed but you definitely impressed me, nice going!

You literally just said every Nissan car

I love your English and thanks for this i have the 2013 Nissan Note

My 2013 Rogue has been serviced regularly and has close to 200,000 miles and still runs great and handles like it's on rails.

Get rid of the music .can't hear what you are saying.

I had a rouge 2014 that required cvt replacement. The cost of the transmission and its replacement was almost the same as the entire car... Luckily it was still under warranty.

Am from the Caribbean and I was about to buy a Nissan tida for 15k ,thanks to you I just save 15k

I am from Dubai and own a 2014 Nissan Xtrail. Done 125 K kilometers. super happy with the performance. regularly serviced and maintained by the local Nissan dealer. I do not press on Gas and do a max - steady110 Kmph and avoid frequent braking. In the mornings i wait for the RPM to touch 700 and then driver off, switching ON the ac. No major issues, except for flat tyres !!

Great video....What do you think of the 2000-2003 Maxima? And the 2011 Atima with the 3.5 engine?

Thanks for the advice i bought a 2013 altima in 2016 with 44k miles on it the cvt went at 150k miles thats when i found out it had issues i spent 5k putting a rebuilt one in i plan on doing what you said about helping to prolong the life of the tranny ,thank you very much.

THE VIDEO IS GREAT, HOWEVER, THE MUSIC COULD BE TURNED DOWN, SO EVERYONE CAN BE MORE FOCUSED ON WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THANK YOU.🇹🇹🇹🇹

Appreciate the information. I got a family members that didn't do their homework before they bought the cars from the same dealer six months ago at the same time they both Nissan Altima 2011 and a 2009 Nissan rogue and they both have the Chitt Veritable Transmission CVT transmission . The rogue is already starting to make the winding sound going down the highway between 60 and 75 mph. Typical greedy company knowing they have these problems they charge $20 per quart of transmission fluid. After purchasing the fluid I stopped to talk to the the service tech and he try to tell me there was a special key in order to drain the transmission fluid. You can tell they're just trying to bullshit you to try to get you to bring the car in . I guess since they figured they already screwed you by building a piece of crap transmission in might as well finish it by charging it out the ass for the transmission fluid.

This helped me in my decision A lot. Thank you.

Excellent information. Question for you. Will the check engine light always come on to indicate a problem with the CVT? My 2016 Nissan Versa SV will not downshift, but I do not have a check engine light present.

I have a 2016 Altima with 28.000 miles , and so far driving is beautiful !!! I drive nice and easy , not crazy speeding actions !!! 3 days ago I receive from NISSAN a letter that they extend the.......WARRANTY FOR CVT , TO 7 YEARS or 84.000 MILES !!!

My Nissan santra 2007, 14 year 180k mile. It still run great no issues, save gas , go up hill not a big deal it fast, snow time no problem. I love my Nissan 🥰

Thanks for educating us.

Hi thanks a lot for this helpful info...question do other car makers use these CVT transmissions??? or just nissan?? Lastly i just bought a used 2005 Altima(not on your list) with 108k miles,,,i test drove and it seemed to run and shift great... are the se transmissions normally good and last??? i don't know history of this car... i checked transmission fiuld and it was a bright red and had no bad smell...any tips are appreciated...thanks ch

SO did they change the models of CVTs in 2018 and up ? I noticed every model stopped at 2017. Hopefully they fixed the problem in the newer models. Thank you

I have a 2012 Altima S Sedan with 125000 miles on it. I have had the Transmission fluid changed and the coolant changed. I have had no issues with the CVT yet, but I do realize it is a ticking time bomb.

Great video and very informative. I didn’t see my vehicle on the list. Should I be worried about mine? 2014 Nissan Pathfinder 2X4. Thank you for your time!

I like your knowledgeable videos. How often should you change the belt of the transmission as peddle pressure can affect it. 2. Can the belt be replaced with another mechanism. My car is versa hatchback. Thanks

Hi @Wrench Link, Nissan has launched new models since 2020 (available from late 2019) among them: All New Versa, All New Sentra, Altima and Maxima; all featured with CVT Transmissions. Do you know if these models equip CVT Transmission with issues?

Thanks for the information. Does 2020 Nissan Sentra SV has the same CVT? Did Nissan fix the CVT problems on newer models?

tu ingles es exelente hijo, se entiende muy bien todo lo que dices. echale ganas, tu explicacion de cvt es excelente. GRACIAS

Good to know info. I just purchased one this past summer and I've been continuously working on this thing. I bought it at 135k. I'm currently just at 140k. Definitely need to look at replacing the fluid at a minimum.

I have a 2019 Rogue SL I purchased new in May. Have just 4,500 miles right now. I noticed you indicated years 2008-2017 for the rogue model. What’s different for the 18 to 20 models?

I’m glad I drive a 2001 Maxima. But I love learning about cars. The pros and cons.

Well, I'm happy that you never mentioned the cvt transmission 2018 Nissan rogue s on your video

Hi! Thank you for this information. Does this same transmission also effect 2015 Infiniti Q70 sedan? Do you have a list of Infiniti models that are also having problems?

I thought all Nissan vehicles have cvt transmissions. I'm looking at a 2018 murano are there any problems with that year transmissions

A correction: the Sentra still had a regular automatic transmission in 2005 and 2006. They switched to the CVT in 2007. And you can avoid the CVT on the Sentra and Versa, just get the manual transmission.

Thank you for the great job you're doing. Please, can the belt be replaced if it breaks?

I got a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder and I switch to AMS oil CVT transmission fliud and it felt better,runs smoothly compared to the Nissan CVT fluid,I changed fluid every 20,000 miles.

Great video! Thanks for this information, because I'm shopping for a newer Quest. My Quest was built in 2005 and have had Zero problems. Just shopping for a newer one, but not with a CVT Transmission.

I have a 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe... fully loaded, top of that line, with Maroon leather seats. Drives like a dream, never had a problem with CVT. I keep it in mint condition and intend to drive it until either my or the car's wheels fall off. However, if Nissan brings back the coupe, maybe, just maybe, I might change my mind.

Thanks for the advice I own a 2008 Versa SL with 252000 kilometers and haven't changed the transmission oil. it runs smoothly luckily but I don't gun it . Maybe it's light weight and 1.8 engine have helped.

I wished I seen this video before, I have a nissan altima 2016 with 96k and I have never changed the transmission oil, and is already giving me issues. Thanks for the video!

I bought a 2010 Murano off a family member and I got it to over 200,000 km and it never had a transmission issue. The other owners did proper maintenance and used premium fuel. I did proper maintenance and regular fuel. I drive hard on a vehicle, but never had CVT issues.

So basically every Nissan with a CVT lol.

I bought an 2014 Nissan Versa SV. My transmission light just come on. You answered my question in your video.

Have a 2009 Nissan Cube w/308,000 ... just now replacing the sparkplug & coil packs. Transmission is still strong, but at a certain speed, it constantly up shifts & down shifts. I just use the cruise control & that solves the problem.

2014 Quest cvt transmission went out at 79k miles. Dealership said they had 3 Quests within 2 weeks come in for it, but Nissan said Quest's cvts aren't bad

It makes a big difference…driving in 112+ temperatures vs…say 90 degrees. The fluid will boil and become foamy because the transmission housing is so HOT. When cycled like that many times, it degrades the fluid. So, if you drive summers in Phoenix or Las Vegas or similar areas, you should change CVT fluid more frequently. My Altima 2012 2.5 S is at 200,000 miles now…still going…but, I drive it quite delicately…I’m hoping for another 50,000 miles…

Thanks for the info do you know if the 2009 Altima has a CVT trans. I am hearing a wining nose when I first start up for the day...But good after that.

My grandmom has the Sentra 2010 forever she had driven it from NY to PA to GA back to NY since 2016 she still driving that car...lol

I do love Nissan vehicles, the CVT does scare me a bit from its construction. However I leased for two years a Nissan Altima 2015 I was driving Uber full-time for 2 years. When I got the car it had fifty five thousand miles on it when I turned it in at the end of the lease it had 181 thousand miles on it. I will put close to 200 miles a day on that car doing Uber, I had absolutely no problems with the transmission at all. The only maintenance was done was a oil change every 3 months.

I remember when I had the 2002 Maxima, absolutely loved the car to 100,000 miles, but then, not so much. It was like some imaginary gremlin flipped a switch and all went to crap to the third power.

I saw great deals on the Altima 2018-2020. They're all cvt. I'm on budget and a tall driver. Should I consider them or not? Thanks in advance. All the best.

Love all your information I recently purchased a used Nissan Altima 2007 manual transmission 2.5 s can you tell me if this is a CVT transmissionafter I had the car on and drove for four blocks to get it home it would not move in gear does this sound like a clutch or transmission

This is just like listening to someone reading the phone book. We’ve had 8 CVT Nissan cars and zero problems, I’d buy them all again!

I’m buying my first car (I’m 22) and was looking at a 2016 or 2017 Nissan Altima, I love how they drive but I shouldn’t get one because of this? I cannot afford an insane repair cost. What car or brand would you recommend?

I have a 2005 Nissan Murano with 150k miles - is it worth buying a new transmission at a cost of $4800? The engines runs smoothly.

Love your video on these transmission like mine the Murano 2016 already had a replace with new one. They claim that this new one 2022 model ?

I own a 2011 nissan maxima and I’ve owned it since jan 2012 and I’ve never had any issues whatsoever. My wife also drives a 2014 nissan sentra and no issues with it either and a few friends of mine as well as some co workers own nissans and i have never heard of anyone having these issues. Lots of people abuse their vehicles and don’t maintain them well so it doesn’t surprise me when i hear this nonsense.

Good video I learned from it .... I have a pathfinder 2016 Thank you!! & God bless you

Do you have any experience with Infiniti QX60? I would love to hear about your take for some of the problems I am facing with my 2017 QX60 (120,000 km) which I bought at zero milage.

In your list of Maxima models to avoid you listed the years 2004-2016. I recently purchased a 2018 SV model with the CVT transmission, is this model a bad model as well for CVT transmissions?

If you have a Nissan CVT add Lube Gard Protect Renew for CVT transmissions. Cheap insurance to add life to your transmission. It really works.

Can definitely confirm this. I had a 2011 Nissan Sentra and sometimes it would start jerking out of nowhere. And it stalled a few times when I was at a stoplight

Just curious as to why you didnt add in the newer Nissan models with CVTs?? I just bought an uber clean 2019 AWD CRV with 69k with a CVT. Are you saying the newer Nissan CVTs are more reliable?? Or perhaps they are just new enough that they havent started having problems yet??

So helpful I have 2 Nissian Murano 2016 cvt went out at 80,000 . My 2019 kicks has a cvt transmission but this yr not on your list have they change the newer cvt or what going on. If my car not on list I should be ok or ??? Thanks for any infor

So if I have a 2018 Altima sr , I’m good?

I'm smart bought 2018 versa Stick shift.used for Uber.durable

I have a 07 nissan sentra s. with cvt transmission. I have noticed on long, long trips fluid gets very hot thus transmission won't change gears so it's running with high rpm's making engine rev harder thus making it work harder. Have changed transmission fluid and filter 3 times already when I go on long trips, but I think i will stick to short trips on this sentra from now on. Thinking of adding external transmission cooler to it. Thanks for the video, you hit it right on the button.

Nice Going! Your English is excellent!

I agree! Thanks for making this video, i have been telling people about these for years and they still continue to buy these cars. SMH 😂

Has there been any improvements since 2017 ? Very good and informative. Thanks

I'm shopping for a newer used car, i was looking at Sentra's and Altima's 2018-2020? Are the CVT's ok on these models? Or what newer used car doyou recommend? Gracias

Guy, where did you get your info/bias from? I had a 2008 maxima that had a cvt and I put a 50 shot on a switch in it and never had any problems with it. I traded it in to carmax at 140k miles (after returning it to stock, obviously), and it ran fine when I traded it in. It’s freeway acceleration with the nox shot was quicker from 80-110mph than my red sport. Never had a problem w/the cvt, no slipping or cel’s, even after hundreds of miles roll racing.

I just had to get rid of my 2012 Nissan Quest bc of this exact reason! Everything he said is correct. I was at almost 141k miles.....it started jerking, when I pressed the gas it would barely drive then kick in real hard....finally stopped moving altogether Mother’s Day 😩😭 I’m pretty sure my heavy driving like a maniac caused it to go out sooner bc I’m always running late smh everything he’s said is accurate tho

Thanks God my 2002 Patfinder is not on your list. Bought new, now got 150K miles. No major issue. 👌

In Canada, we have the Nissan Micra with a 4 speed automatic transmission, not a CVT. Do you think it would be more reliable than a Nissan with a CVT, or would it have the same issues.

My 2014 Altima has 215,000 miles and has never had a problem with the transmission, never changed the fluid and it’s still running fine.

I have 2016 Altima....smooth as glass

2009 maxima sv has 108000 miles. No issues. Love my car. Runs great.

I'm looking to get a 2017 maxima and ran into this video.I noticed the 2017 max was not on this list.Did they fix the cvt issues in that year?

Good info have 2015 Nissan Sentra it's giving similar issues with vibrations going on with only 40000mls having issue

I have nissan march 2013.. and still it's a good car..

All the models you mentioned stopped at 2017 year. What transmission are used after 2018 year? Are they better in 2018?

Just want to chime in on the cvt. I have a awd 2019 altima sl. I've been working at home quite a bit now so only have 13.5k miles so far. The car gets amazing mileage. Overall the cvt is ultra smooth. The power transfers extremely well from the engine to the wheels. There is some rubber bandy feel that I don't super like in around 10mph-30mph. But in the other speeds it is smooth as silk and I really like it. I don't have that many miles but I haven't have a single repair in 2.5 years. Now that there are other awd sedan options I'm thinking about trading it in before I have problems. But in my opinion I think it would go another 20 years because I'm not too hard on the car. Just once in awhile when I need to get ahead of someone.

Ke onda vato me gustan tus videos porque ayudan mucho , oye mire en tu video que en la pared tienes una placa de washington state yo soy de othello wa , donde estas localizado, tienes un taller? Saludos!!!!

I bought mine new 165000 miles later no problems yet with the cvt I guess I got a good one or maybe it's the you take care of your vehicle....

I have a Nissan Altima SV 134,000 miles. I have some concern after viewing this, but I’ve maintained it well. It’s been a decent, affordable ride.

Is it okay to use Valvoline CVT NS-3 on my 2015 Nissan Versa Note? I'm nowhere near Nissan dealer to get their fluid, plus their fluid is much higher price. Thanks!

Thanks for info. great video

I have a 2008 Nissan Altima and I'm on my third CVT transmission. At the time of the install of the third transmission my Altima had less then 140,000 miles on it.

Brother, does a transmission cooler help with OEM Nissan fluid ?

Good information on the CVT cars, I'm a victim of CVT. I own a Nissan pathfinder 2013 model but giving me serious problem. The comes on but when shifted to drive it doesn't move

Since 2005 I drove a Latio premium with & a Slyphy & I have never had any issues with the transmission nor major repairs. Am collecting Nissan Serena e-power this weekend. 😴

I have a 2012 maxima with over 200K miles and still going strong 💪🏾

my 05 sentra s got 250k miles still going strong. to be fair, my trans will go out before the engine but im hoping for the best

I noticedyou mentioned Altima s. I have a 2015 Altima s special edition. Does the special edition have cvt transmission problem ?

Tell me, what is the best plan of action if I my transmiisson fails? Should I buy a refurbished one? Who should I buy it from?
