Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE IS JUST PAST THE 120K MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY PERIOD AND THE TRANSMISSION/CVT BEGAN HARD-SHIFTING/CLUNKING AT AROUND 40MPH. TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAILING CVT AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. CALLED NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID "YUP, THAT HAPPENS." OFFERED NO GUIDANCE, THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE CVT FOR $6,000 (PLUS SHOP FEES, TAXES, ETC.) I'VE TALKED TO SEVERAL ALTIMA OWNERS AND THEY'VE HAD VERY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES WITH CVTS FAILING BETWEEN 125K AND 140K MILES, JUST PAST THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE FAILURE IS BIG, AND NISSAN SAYS THE ONLY OPTION IS COMPLETE REPLACEMENT - NO WAY TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE.
