Nissan extending warranty on cvt transmissions
The official release will be coming monday, but I found out today that effective Monday, nissan will be changing the warranty on CVT transmissions in ALL nissan models from 2003-2010 from it's current 5 year / 100,000km to 10 year 200,000km.
Additionally, any customers that had transmissions replaced and paid out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed.
Mods: I posted this here because I thought it should be premium members only info until it's officially released to the public.

Re: Nissan extending warranty on cvt transmissions
thanks for the info... I don't know about you guys, but that's the first time I ever hear something like this from a car manufacturer.... even reimbursing the clients that paid !.... I guess nissan is pretty confident on their product...

Re: Nissan extending warranty on cvt transmissions
That is great to see. To bad they didn't do that for the power valve screw victims.

Re: Nissan extending warranty on cvt transmissions
They're also dropping the price of the transmissions by approx $1300 on average to make out of warranty repairs more in-line with a regular automatic transmission repair costs.

Re: Nissan extending warranty on cvt transmissions
They don't put CVT transmissions in any of the trucks though do they? I don't count Muranos & Rogues as trucks, I consider them cross-overs.
Watch it! I'm keeping my eye on you.

Re: Nissan extending warranty on cvt transmissions
I think it is constantly variable trans. THere is no set of forwards gears but rather a one variable "gear"... similar in principle to snowmobile drive belt/variable pulley diameter idea.

Re: Nissan extending warranty on cvt transmissions
I just had my 05 X tranny and Rad replaced due to a faulty design in rad which made me have to get a new tranny. Is that covered? I had to pay $6100 and it would be the best news ever if I could get that money back!

The 04 Xterra automatic is the RE4 R01A which is a 4 speed.
