The Nissan CVT transmissions particularly models like Juke and Qashqai has had its share of reported issues related to the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system. Last 2 years we have seen very upward trend when owners reported various issues with Nissan CVT transmission. Common problems and complaints associated with the problems with Nissan CVT transmissions include:
CVT Juddering or Shuddering: Many owners have reported a sensation of juddering or shuddering when accelerating, especially at lower speeds. This issue can be attributed to problems with the CVT's belt and pulley system.
Overheating: Overheating of the CVT is a concern that has been raised by some Qashqai owners. Prolonged overheating can lead to a decline in transmission fluid quality and performance.
Loss of Power: Some drivers have experienced a sudden loss of power or acceleration, which can be linked to CVT issues.
Lack of Responsiveness: CVTs can sometimes feel less responsive compared to traditional automatic transmissions, resulting in sluggish acceleration.
Whining Noise: A high-pitched whining noise coming from the transmission is another common complaint, which may indicate a problem with the CVT's components.
It's important to keep in mind that not all Nissan Qashqais with CVTs will experience these issues, and the severity can vary widely. Regular maintenance, such as timely transmission fluid changes and following the manufacturer's recommended service intervals, can help mitigate some CVT-related problems.
