Nissan Gets Crushed: CEO Actually Grows a PAIR

[@Blue-moon12]

CVT was a killer for Nissan. They should have ditched it a long time ago. Yes, they're better now but the damage to the reputation is done.

[@4546gbhgcnju6re]

The damage isn't done. That's jus wat Nissan haters want. Truth is they make affordable decent vehicles.

[@nn-dj2nu]

I agree the damage is done, I have no idea if cvt's are any better now, but I would never buy a new vehicle with one because of the bad reputation.

[@titaniumspecial4207]

I'll respect the CEO who says I'm taking our prices pre-pandemic.

[@steven4315]

When did you ever hear of an American CEO taking a 50% haircut?

[@The_Food_Police]

Any CEO would be dumb to do that.

[@flightforensics4523]

I see the "additional profit sticker." I walk away.

[@revnation_auto]

It’s not a wise move by the dealers but shows their true colors.

[@justinstiff5641]

Smart Man

[@jimmagnus1200]

Our family all drive Rogues. We've had no issues at all. Very good cars.

[@peterbova]

My son tried to buy a new frontier my son got Nissan finance then they said 5.9 instead of 3.9 we got them from 43000 to 35000 but they couldn’t give it up they wanted that extra money that dealer was a dick next dealer did same thing I called Nissan corporation it was a Japanese woman told me to go back to the first dealer the truck he wanted would be waiting for him at that price with Nissan incentives to lower cost more financing women met us did not see the salesman or manager or owner we got that vehicle for 30000 I went on Facebook and tore into the entire dealership owner salesman and manager put their names out everything

[@foodpedlarofficial2019]

We live in Central WI: Our local Nissan dealer won't budge on pricing. Very sad.

[@billeidaho871]

If they don't DUMP THE CVTs they are not going to do any better, a person would have to be crazy to buy a Nissan with that disaster of a transmission. I have a 2021 Frontier SV and it has been a solid truck, I would buy another one if I could find a good deal on a new one.

[@ericfoster2430]

It's their cvt transmissions nobody wants. The stigma carries over to all of their vehicles. Most people don't know anything about it, they just heard that nissan transmissions are trash.

[@unclefester4626]

I'm not going to buy anything that spies on me and sells the information to insurance companies.

[@alanmartins6349]

Shut up idiot.

[@andredaedone7732]

I was in the market for a Frontier with the markdowns but when you started adding back in the dealers scams I changed my mind. I will look again in February.

[@littlestinker9716]

Nissan screwed up bigtime by making the new Pathfinder into a soccer mom mall crawler instead of a 4Runner competitor. Huge revenue opportunity lost.

[@revnation_auto]

I fully agree. They should also bring back the Xterra. Change the name of the Armada to the Patrol and ride the off-road train to the bank.

[@tc6580]

I still have a 2004 Pathfinder, last year for a real Pathfinder. Very reliable, great vehicle

[@scottconrad4719]

That’s a dumb comment. It hasn’t completed with the 4 runner for years.. it’s not 1998 any,more. Learn the suv market please.

[@Rich_present-777]

Fed Gov is responsible for all of this. Cut it by 50%. Small gov is good gov.

[@MikeS-7]

The feds are absolutely responsible. Where automakers are culpable is they aren't on the tour saying... Look, the federal government regulations are forcing us to price average Americans out of car ownership. If you want change ask for this ... Go get them ...

[@melvinjacobs2328]

Toyota and Honda now have SERIOUS quality issues with massive recalls.

[@Ronick-Q-46]

I have a 14 year old Nissan with a 1.5dci 6 speed manual it has been a good car, I wouldn't have there 1.2cc petrol or the CVT I haven't heard one good thing about them.

[@Akaakaaka-ep9xh]

I wanted a Frontier, but it was too expensive, so I just settled for an affordable Jetta .

[@brian5o]

One thing I DO give Nissan credit for (and there’s not a lot you can) the lower trim Frontiers are actually probably the only truck that’s a decent value now-a-days and I bet they’re bulletproof. They’re kind-of like the replacement for the last (before leaving the US market for a while) Ranger. They’re inexpensive but dependable trucks. I wish you could still get a manual transmission in them though.

[@revnation_auto]

I’d just get a used one with a manual. Or a used Ranger. I drive a 2004 Ranger 5MT as my daily driver. 166k on it and going strong. I get 25mpg combined as well.

[@Ryan-yi5ro]

​@@andreim5973Get all that with a base Frontier and only woman and the elderly don't want a manual. 🤦🏻

[@pattyofurniture8059]

I think the vents on the Frontier are a throwback to the old '80s Pathfinders.

[@Frank-mo5ru]

Brother you always put out informative content. Here in the north east the female consumers love Rogues and Pathfinders. Every time I see Pathfinders or Rogues, most are driven by women. The Rogues are junk because of the cvt. The frontier is solid as well as Pathfinders. I have a 23 pathfinder, It has no CVT, definitely not an off road vehicle, but we love it.

[@revnation_auto]

My co-worker really liked his Rock Creek Pathfinder. I prefer the older ones like 2006-2012.

[@hobbyfarmer62]

Oh and yes big points to Nissan ceo for his moves, not in the market for a new car and if I was it wouldn't be an EV or hybrid.

[@BM-cz1xb]

The problem is the cars are overpriced for average Americans, they don’t build quality vehicles anymore,and they don’t want all these cvt transmission .

[@drmwpn]

This is absolutely it, Nissan cooked their reputation with most Americans through the use of their appalling Jatco CVTs; very few people don't know someone who got badly burned by a Nissan tranny failing waaaaaaay too early. I only buy Japanese and wouldn't touch one of their CVTs if it was 50% off list.

[@LucianoMMatias]

I’m from Europe and we face the same problem. Even german brands like Mercedes dont offer the same quality of years ago.

[@beachside1]

Maybe another reason they havent been selling is because of the dreaded CVT transmission. Dont get me started there lol How about they lower the price by half and punish dealers who add addendum cost onto customers

[@turbotheamericanstaffy]

They keep a 200hp ice motor in the Rogue but use a CVT? Mazda has kept their torque converter gear boxes. I'd take a Mazda over a crappy new Nissan SUV/sedan. They were great cars in the 90s. Absolutely bulletproof. The CEO should be aiming for cars of that build quality. Sometimes you've gotta go backwards to go forwards.

[@leogeee1]

I'm glad you brought up the positive points of the Rogue. My Nissan Versa Note gets 34 city 40 highway. So why would I want to spend money for an EV with potential expenses ahead? JD Power gives my car a 4 out of 5 for reliability.

[@lawdog516]

What are your thoughts on the Honda V6 recall of at least for now 1.4 million vehicles. I’m discussed being a 2023 Ridgeline owner, I decided on the Honda brand because of that buttery smooth V6, now this !!! The light at the end of the tunnel for me is that I’m leased it so if my Ridgeline is affected I’ll just turn it in at lease end, I’m half way through, thanks for all you do with your videos.

[@revnation_auto]

I’ve got a video coming up all about it my friend. It’s criminal and truly sad. I’m a Honda owner as well😑

[@steven4315]

This will be the first big test of the Chevron ruling. Congress created NHTSA to regulate safety, not quality. Look for Honda to get away with offering an extended warranty.

[@B9M3]

Drab black, gray, and white boxes with 3-cylinder turbos and CVTs? No thanks.

[@melvinjacobs2328]

I live in Oklahoma, and in spite of slow sales, these stupid dealers continue putting add ons on their cars.

[@revnation_auto]

Same in Virginia 😑

[@MU-io5en]

Ownership. I like that word. Good for you CEO. Dad had a little Nissan 2wd pickup in the very early 80’s. I loved it. I just bought an 8 year old Frontier. Going to give it a go. Can’t hurt. Can’t see buying new. Probably okay if you have deep pockets.

[@revnation_auto]

Frontiers are great pickups. You’ll enjoy it.

[@Aikynbreusov]

Hybrid is not the solution to Nissan's poor sales volume... RELIABILITY is... people are not going to flock to Nissan dealers because of there are now hybrid cars on the lots... look at all the other car brands that have hybrid cars on their lots??? They're not selling because of poor reliability records... Toyota and Honda are selling cars faster than a bad taco diarrhea can flush down the toilet because they have a consistent and long history of reliability records... So for Nissan to blame it's poor sales record on the lack of hybrid is just a plain flat out excuse.... Nissan just needs to clean up its reliability problems and get rid of all of its CVT's, and it will be on the right track towards profitability

[@graybailey6015]

Think Nissan is just trying to survive like the rest of them.I actually like them but not what they build lately. The 3 cylinder grenade of an engine and the CVT transmissions you can't rebuild doesn't impress me much.Just hope for better days.

[@JCT442]

The hurt locker is getting crowded...

[@revnation_auto]

It is for sure

[@JoshuaTrinityWolf-dc4up]

Maybe if they sold at 10% above cost they would move all the inventory ?

[@willb6070]

Nissan has had so many issues with CVT failures over the past decade that people avoid them for that.

[@jnagime]

My locals Nissan back in 21-22 they had a good amount of inventory but they were charging $5k markup….Bad move Nissan.

[@dhughes6357]

The wheels on the red truck remind me of the basic wheel that is used with hub caps.

[@michaellalanae7228]

Tax them into bankruptcy like they do the average American citizen.

[@rickslife]

On average the buyer of a Nissan has a low credit score. My friend is a “finance manager” at a local dealer. Copart lots are full of Nissans that have been repoed. They’re usually trashed too.

[@alans.4658]

We call my niece's 2014 Versa the most French Japanese car ever. Weird wiring issues with both front and back lights. It's a miracle when all the lights work 😢😢😢😢

[@MH44444]

I don't know why you are giving the CEO credit. He's only speaking now because they have less than a year literally to correct this problem or they face bankruptcy. He's no hero for coming out and actually not telling people they are about to go bankrupt.

[@naps3386]

Insurance costs and the fact that insurance companies are scamming to pay less and less on covered claims, using cheap parts (for ex: replacing a factory oem sport strut with a monroe strut from Autozone, with no consideration about matched sets and handling) is enough for me to drive cheap hoopty cars with only liability insurance. I can afford more than the average American but the reason I can is I don’t buy new vehicles.

[@drewski1441]

So feel sorry for the CEO taking $10 million instead of $20 million dollars 💰 😏

[@nismo370z4]

There is another optional wheel on the Pro 4x that is really nice, so you are not stuck with that design. The vents in the top of the grille are a throwback to the 80's Harbody, you would think a car guy would know this.

[@revnation_auto]

The hardbody’s were lower, functional, and didn’t have a terrible fake chrome finish. It doesn’t look good in person.

[@gustavobarrera4415]

The only reason im going to buy a pathfinder is because they finally got rid of there cvt transmission and has an actual transmission again. The engines have always been good. And also there infotainment feels like they finally caught up to the current markets again

[@Matthew-x9d]

Car prices cannot be supported in our current ecconomy…

[@littlestinker9716]

The new Pro 4X wheels remind me of cheaply-painted steelies. Makes the truck look more downmarket but the price went up. Bad combo.

[@VN9001]

Remove the name "Nissan" and insert ANY other auto manufacturer and yes, I agree. They are ALL in a deep hole of their own making. The domestic manufacturers have been pumping out pure garbage for years now. "Recall" is a household name now because of them. The imports seem to be slowly dropping down to that level.

[@NoWay-ye7yq]

Toyota and Honda is NOT a great cars like it used to be.

[@busterboyd4125]

Not buying anything. I say let these companies go under. Then new companies can take their place. Luckily I have 2 cars 2012 and 2019 with under 100k miles so I'm good for awhile.

[@Muffin192213]

I don't know what Crystal infusion is about but i do remember that song Crystal Blue Persuasion now if that were in the tires boy that thing would fly 😀

[@MrJffranco5777]

I will NEVER buy another Stellantis product again...I got burnt on my Dodge suv badly. So yes I would purchase a Nissan product...preferably a Frontier over any Stellantis vehicle.

[@joshwilliams565]

I have a 2023 Rogue. You can throw that gas mileage rating right out the window. I get nowhere near those numbers. Even when driving very conservatively.

[@hobbyfarmer62]

Many of these cars do so well on fuel economy they are so much cheaper than any hybrid or EV. Much of price increase is inflation over last couple years. And their so called trucks are such a joke with their tiny tiny bed, you would struggle to get a 4 foot 2"x4".

[@streamingdemon2522]

The reputation of nissans cvt has done massive damage. Its shocking they did not pivot from that long ago with a better transmission. Their designs are very dated. Like many brands they drastically raised their prices.. They're done in China and the USA..

[@xiondFirst]

Nissian used to be real good. I've owned 4 nissian vechiles and my first car was a 1999 sentra and drove it till the wheels fell off. But these days i don't even think Nissan as a car brand i see myself buying. They make economy trash boxes that look very bland.

[@grover10011]

Manufacturers have the customer backed into a corner with their poor quality issues. All of the manufacturers. Then they disrespect you by raising prices. Continue to vote with your wallet, and say no.

[@luigicassar1153]

I worked for Nissan for 40 years and now I will not buy any product. Thank you.

[@entasis.fifty-four]

Nissan needs to completely end their Renault relationship. I remember when the 240Z hit the States-it changed the sports car scene forever. Now, Nissan is overlooked by customers. Too bad.

[@uo2230]

The word is out on Nissan's CVT trans.

[@AromaShade]

Your thumbnail says it all my friend.

[@silvertad3833]

when you build crappy cars with crappy design what do you expect

[@beachside1]

I remember a few years ago when you could buy a loaded f150 of250 not sure which for 51k and I was in shock how much that was and now it looks like you found a pot of gold at that price and now we get this for 51k. Oh yeah the crystal fusion is a supposedly is something thats put on the windshield that is like a wax to protect it lol. Probably some rain x and the good ole nitrogen air and that identity protection which is probably the good ole etching scam

[@brian5o]

The best and almost only decent car they’ve built recently was the Z. The ADMs screwed the Z’s sales. They allowed their customers to be screwed by the dealers. Besides that, they doubled down on their sh!tty cvts that fail at less than 100,000 miles. I learned how to drive and shift gears in Datsuns. They used to be great cars. I have a lot of love for Datsuns and Nissans pre maybe 2005 or so. They build junk today other than the Z, the Frontier and maybe the manual Versa.

[@tomclams3689]

The wheels on that pro 4x would be alot of cleaning.T he older ones looked better

[@revnation_auto]

Good point. I’ll find out in 8 or so years when I buy one for 1/10th this price. The wheels on my ranger look better than both and cost $300 with new tires off of FB marketplace.

[@BTC909]

Hey Nissan. You didn't know Newsom (CARB) was going to push through the Low Carbon Fuel requirement? You think a demand for Hybrid's is high now, just wait until next year. Good luck finding a used Tesla / cheap Hertz Bolt on the West Coast.

[@jjohur]

Nissan and Infiniti used to have really good looking cars … now they look like crap!

[@MikeS-7]

The big three is ignoring basic economics.... Nissan? The overwhelming majority of Americans can only afford vehicles under $20K.

Plastic makes sense on the front of an off road vehicle. You do not want metal that will rust!!

[@mikehill3804]

[@cocochanel6495]

3 cylinder with horrible CVT does not help. Nissan needs to understand that buyers know what they are buying. They know about all the problems with Nissan CVTs and 3 cylinders are timebombs on wheels. The other related issue is camshaft belts that are submerged in an oil bath. This is happening with 3 cylinder European models and they have failed miserably. Many recalls and catastrophic failures. Go back to the 2.5 4 cylinder and they have a 9 speed they can use from pathfinder. Won't buy Nissan.

[@Sam-M7]

I buy from private seller. Screw these dealerships

Why are manufacturers hell-bent on pushing these garbage CVT transmissions on us?!?!?

2 months after my friend bought a NEW NISSAN, the radio buttons broke, he went to dealer, they said to bad, he called nissan headquarters and they said "you got fat fingers, or heavy hands" and did nothing for him! now his bad mouthing has already caused NISSAN TO LOSE 5 SUV SALES,!!! NISSAN has lost $300000 in lost sales !!! over a $0.75 radio faceplate...👏👏👏👏👏good job NISSAN, YOU REAL SUCK A$$

[@bradz2451]

Unreliable CVTs and boring cars that cost too much. What could go wrong?

[@MH44444]

Lol, no problems with the Rogue powertrain? You don't know about their transmission problems with that vehicle? They really tanked their reputation on it. I would take a Rav 4 hybrid over the Rogue any day, and they are similar in price. And you don't have to worry about battery or any of those issues either lol. They are reliable.

[@jj-yj6ot]

Good. The cars they are building are crap. Go back to building the old cars that would last and not break down. It is not hard to figure out.

[@revnation_auto]

Armada, Titan, Frontier, and Versa are all really solid vehicles. I do love the older ones though. Owned 2 Frontiers and an Xterra Pro-4x.

[@Aikynbreusov]

Nissan can expand the Morano I to a 7 passenger SUV... transform the Pathfinder back to a direct competitor of the 4Runner just like it used to be... Bring back the Xterra... Bring back the Quest Minivan... Nissan needs to build cars people want to buy. And not cars auto enthusiasts or amateur auto youtubers love... Just copy Toyota's formula to success...

Nissan can be the best car manufacturer in the world if it starts producing it's 80s and 90 models again, the beautiful Bluebird, Sunny, Maxima, Micra, Patrol, Pathfinder, Primera: once bulletproof cars instead of today's junk. Just the exact copies of those, without all the contemporary garbage. But... The stupid bots at Nissan will rather go bankrupt. So be it! We don't need your low quality crap. Byeeeee!
