Re: T31 - CVT Transmission replacement just after 10000kms
WOW!!
The number of failed CVT transmissions is certainly getting alarming! I wonder what the problem is to have them fail so early?

Re: T31 - CVT Transmission replacement just after 10000kms
With 2007 T31 models nearing end of factory warranty soon, one has to ask Nissan what would happen if the CVT fails outside of the warranty period seeing it's an obvious manufacturing defect that is causing it. I'd hate to imagine the costs associated with CVT replacement if it does happen out of warranty.

Re: T31 - CVT Transmission replacement just after 10000kms
Just did a google search and found there have been plenty of Mini's with CVT's failing anywhere from 25,000miles to 43,000miles in the UK.
It seems that the CVT needs very clean oil with frequent changes and if it misses an oil change then the life degrades very quickly.
Based on the operating principle of the CVT, with the metal chain running across tapered metal cone pulleys, I would expect there to much more wear than in a conventional automatic transmission (or am I getting this wrong somehow).

Re: T31 - CVT Transmission replacement just after 10000kms
the problem has nothing to do with the way the cars r being driven , ( off road or not ) ,
the probem is a factory based one and has been traced back to production of the units ,( poor quality metal used on some of the internal bearings ) this is where the noise is coming from !!!!!
the gold coast dealer has now replaced over 20 tranmissions with some having more than one fitted and one with under 5000 km on the clock ,
all replacment units have now been modified on the production line and so far so good with the ones that have been fitted ,
just a side note !!!!!! it seams that of late nissan have replaced several tranmissions on the older model murano too..........

Re: T31 - CVT Transmission replacement just after 10000kms
My wife Compass has the CVT and I have not heard any issues with it. Or is the Jeep CVT technology different?

Re: T31 - CVT Transmission replacement just after 10000kms
It should be standard practice to give out a loan car when an extended repair period is involved and this initiative should be coming directly from the dealer without having you to chase it up with Nissan head office. The loan car should have been give to you on the same day Nissan Australia determined that a new transmission will be needed.
