| Description of the problem | 2013 nissan altima 2. 5l sv 76,000 miles cvt failure my vehicle has experienced cvt failure with only 76k miles.. Unfortunately for the initial occurrence, i misdiagnosed the problem as bad gas. The vehicle shutters, bucks and stalls when decelerating or accelerating at traffic lights, stop signs or in highway traffic. Additional stalls occur when placing the vehicle into gear (drive or reserve) which may cause vehicle stranded in the middle of parking lots and roadway. The problem seemed to go into remission for the past year, even though looking back i can see some slight signs of bucking when coming to a stop, rough idles, louder whining at higher speeds, ect. I was able to have nissan tech confirm cvt failure and that it is not a rare issue. A quick google search verifies that many others have experienced the same issues with the cvts and nissan had provided a recall and extended warranty on all their cvt |
