Anybody have a link?

The dealer we got the Rogue from does a lifetime powertrain warranty included in the price (not negotiable). So I should be in the clear either way. Of course, I probably voided it by changing my own oil..

The problems were with 2003s, the warranty is for all cvts to help boost customer confidence.

We have been seeing all year models in the shop for the cvt failures. The sentra cvts are about 2000.00 the murano is about 5000.00+. Nissan has come out with a reman cvt for the sentra & some others that dropped the price alot.

I was mostly being facetious.

What fails specifically? They are a rather simple system from a mechanical standpoint?

For the Muranos, I don't think it's just the 2003 models affected.

Mine were internal sensors. My transmission blew going uphill on the freeway... Scary moment. Another scary moment was when I was making a left turn on an intersection... What looked like a safe pass turned freaky when my Mo moved 1 MPH with two coming head on. I never felt safe after that. So I traded it in for the T.

Alright, we just got the letter today.

Scary to think what would happen if it did fail while I was driving.

It's a fancy chain I think.

Too bad Nissan didn't double the warranty on:

Rear Differential
Front Differential
Radiators

And various other common issues on this truck.

That's cool that they extended the warranty on all cvt's. I have an 07 Altima and the cvt was my main concern since it has around 44k on it now and woulda been out of warranty soon. However I will never buy another cvt equipped car again.

Great link here about the CVT

I suppose it's a good thing that they're doing this. My brother's Maxima has the CVT. I hate CVT because it always feels like it wants to do the braking for me. I prefer gears simply because I can judge exactly how to push the vehicle to pick the right RPM and speed.
