I had a 2015 Rogue with the CVT, never had any problems with it. Maintenance is #1 priority.

[@XennialGuy]

This is a fact. Most of the early problems of CVTs have been taken care of on their modern ones. But maintenance is number one. If you don't change the CVT fluid every 45k to 60k mi (depending on usage), you're going to have problems. Part of the problem is lack of education from the dealership. I called half a dozen dealers and got several different answers to how often it should be changed. Anywhere from 30K miles to you never have to change it. The dealers that are telling people that they never have to change it are causing big problems for those customers. It is not a "forever fill" and should never go beyond 60K miles between changes. And the filters need to be changed each time as well.

When dealers set an objective for each year, it is not just some aspirational wishlist. Sales drive the whole budget, including overhead, staffing, inventory, and financing. If even conservative sales projections are missed, the entire cost structure of the business can be damaged. Missing a conservative target can be catastrophic to a business. It can cause a cascade failure that destroys the entire business. Watch for changes in the sales staff because the best salesmen will be the first to jump a sinking ship.

[@DavidWiliams-r1g]

course they might want to sell something besides vehicles as lots of other OEMs are having dealers arent selling vehicles as fast as they expected. and no its not just EVs that have this problem, all of the vehicles are. some maybe because of the vehicles the dealerships bought (they seem to order mostly the higher priced versions and with interest rates so high and many finance companies getting out of vehicle loans and those remaining be much careful who what and who they finance, which leads to lots of stock on dealers lots, they have been there for a long time. some still have brand new 2023s, and 2025s are coming in. i suppose problem is that dealers now have a PR problem based on what they did for 2-3 years, with all of the additional mandatory charges to be able to buy a vehicle, now that has come back to haunt them. OEMs didnt help, they increase MSRPs after seeing what dealers were doing to prices. and with very short supply of inventory (some might have had less than vehicles on their lots), now inventory is back and building. OEMs should have noticed the growing inventories and started to their pre pandemic advertising programs to hep dealers, and if they didnt help, start rebate programs. but they didnt. also some of the OEMs are still having supply problems, but look great as far as how fast they sell, but if you only have 100 vehicles on lots and sold 50 in the last 30 days, you look look really good. but you really not doing well at all

There’s no easy, cheap way to make diesels clean. VW would have had to load their diesels with thousands $$ in equipment to pass emissions, including a separate DEF tank.

I was an Internal Audit Director for Nissan Motor Corp in the 1990's. I found so many screwups that they laid me off. That was before the French took them over. Nissan made great cars then, such as the Maxima, Altima and their SUV's. But they just were not focused on good management like Toyotal. For instance, Japan would book profits on cars made in Japan, then ship them to the US at break even prices, thus the US firm always lost money on many cars. They tried to hide screwups, rather than investigate and fix them to improve management and internal systems. I saved them about $20-million due to internal audit reports, but they reacted to hide the issues, rather than fix them. Another example is cars imported through the Jacksonville port, which had significant damage from acid rain. I found that out while visiting the auction yard paid to repaint a boatload of 300zx's. They also had many trucks damaged, and wanted to auction them off as is, but the dealers complained and took the damaged vehicles at low transfer prices. Nissan was the worst managed firm I ever worked at , but the French could only fix them for a few years.

Sorry no. The issue is not old CVT transmission vs new and improved CVT transmission. The problem is CVT TRANSMISSION. 2) Your 3 year 36k mile warranty speaks volumes to your confidence level on the vehicle lasting any amount of time. My gut feeling is you know the CVT trans is a POS and want to get away from the liability of it ASAFP. By the way Kia has a 5 year 100k warranty. Apparently they feel the car build is worthy of it even at entry level. I will close by saying I own a Nissan Frontier and love it. Loooove it.

Nissan has been going downhill since the Carlos Ghosh incident. The cvt’s are better now but the damage is already done.

[@gregorygoodman7601]

Question, Is the stair step program monthly, quarterly, etc. When is the best time to approach a dealer who in a stair step program ?

[@melissasmess2773]

Third week of December.

[@sherwinnicholson7354]

On my third transmission for my Sentra. They blamed me for the issues and said there is nothing they can do. Good riddance and I hope the people I spoke with that treated me poorly have to look for work. Had to pay $7000+.

[@JA-gx4hb]

Love my 2019 Frontier, except the brake pedal feel is so soft. Lots of people complain about it, did they fix it yet?

[@davidparkin9017]

They should have listened to us when we said NO to CVTs and make the poorly designed Nissan Z look more like the 300ZX of the early 90s. Too bad for them! How about the new Frontier? Engine options? Transmission options? Nope. Nissan of the 90s was great. The Frontier of 2005 to 2019 was good. Particularly 2009 to 2018. Gushing over a V6, 4wd with a six speed manual PRO4X. Now that's a great sports truck!

[@grizzly311tr]

)did you cry the entire time your wrote this?.... so you prefer 80's and 90's vehicles that lasted 100k miles (if you were lucky) compared to modern vehicles that typically last over 200k miles?.. am i getting any part of your incoherent emotional babble incorrect or are you actually as stupid as you sound?

[@gustavodiaz4689]

They should have never stopped making the xterra

[@daleolson3506]

If they include a spare transmission with free tow and install. Maybe

Bummer. The interiors of the new Nissans are pretty nice

[@bucdan9242]

They need to dump the CVT and use the licensed mercedes benz 9speed transmission that's currently in the frontier for their other models.

[@melissasmess2773]

ZF are premium 💯👍🏻 edit, they would have to raise their prices.

[@remyd8767]

Does that mean you can get a great deal on Nissan leases?

[@the1andonlydomdom]

Bought a 2017 Maxima for a great price where the dealership sold it at a loss. Unfortunately they dealership had been less than friendly with services and find every way to up charge you. I’m not against any of the cars but the service in my area was poor. Curious to see how the brand recovers bc they were on a uprise

[@suz702]

@@the1andonlydomdom my experience with buying a 2016 Maxima was just the opposite. I got 7 free oil changes and paid zero, no up charges for anything. Not all dealerships are created the same. Sorry about your bad experience.

You said the same thing about Stellantis for how many years? When are they going out of business.

[@rodvan-zeller6360]

Customer rotation keeps them in business.

[@tradermunky1998]

You must not keep up with the financial news. They are in trouble, stock dumped 60-70% over the last 6 months. Going out of business is a bit hyperbolic but they are definitely having problems and undergoing restructuring and cost cutting.

[@michaelfrock2473]

I wish I could find any of their cars appealing, could probably find some great deals. They definitely need a management change.

[@markanderson4163]

my 2024 Titan is my 5th one...and it's by FAR the worst...transmission issues, cruise control issues, computer issues, and 2 dealerships said "we can't find anything wrong"...if it was my first Titan I would doubt myself, but after 5???? there is definitely a problem that they are trying hard to ignore...looks like another class-action, maybe????

[@ajjohnston78]

lemon law it

[@dzed5579]

Had a used '09 Murano. CVT died just after 100k miles. Cost more money to fix than what the dealer was willing to pay for it. I will never own a Nissan again.

[@edg8535]

From what I see, they are having a problem with quality. When I purchase a car, it is for; years, not two years.

[@luiii22]

Here in Naples florida Nissan has offered in the past buy one get one free car... there must be a catch but they've done it before.

[@dcole109]

I fail to see the logic in buying anything from a manufacturer who may go belly up. No dealer no warranty no parts!

[@avaughs]

Do the Stair Step Incentives specify and Trim limitations or requirements? For example, only 3 Platinums, 17 SVs and 30 S Rogues meets the criteria. sell 4 Plats and 16 SVs and you don’t get the incentive?

[@pakmanbtl]

Was about to buy a brand new frontier, even though it feels like I was turning the wheel of my old 1980 Toyota but better features than the Tacoma, what killed was the greediness of the sales team marking it up more than the new Tacoma and refusing to lower the price cus they’re saying it’s way better than Tacoma, ( had a 1980 frontier fiera and 2000 frontier turbo diesel mt) and 3rd gen tacos were more expensive than the new 2024 , ended up getting a brand new Tacoma 24

[@21wxz89]

I drive a lexus es 350. The lexus dealer here has a hard time keeping one of each model on the lot. They sell that fast

[@heresteven]

Nissan seems to have a good plan with the Rogue going hybrid, and the new design for the kicks and Murano. I like buying Nissans here because the dealership has always sold me the vehicles at MSRP. The alternate Nissan dealership I stay away from because they play the car price game. The Mazda I had was good. But one finance officer tried to cheat me, and it took the sales manager who sold me car to shut down that scam. Ford lost me as a customer after tacking on $14,000 to the $24,000 Maverick I ordered, and waited a year and 7 months for.

[@joedebarbieri]

is it smart to buy a car that's been sitting on a lot for 150 days?...what about lot rot?...

[@Roberta-mm3zs]

I have a 2017 Murano. The Nissan service department is full of unfriendly, angry, condescending employees. I take it for service at the Mazda dealer down the road. They are polite, honest, and professional. Finally, the son here is sooooooo attractive, especially when he calls his dad ‘pops’. I am 65 years old and have a teenage crush on him.
