This is second Cube I have purchased from Nissan except this time I’m disappointed. At 133,000 miles, the CVT transmission unexpectedly went out. I hadn’t had any mechanical issues at all until this suddenly happened. I took it to the dealership and had them replace the CVT transmission at the cost of $4,300. This was a mistake.
The car now won’t accelerate, go up hill, or maintain freeway speed without a lot of effort. I don’t expect that the car should drive like it’s new, however, I do expect that the car should have run almost the same as it was before the transmission suddenly stopped working. I have to drive over 30 miles to get to a Nissan dealership to be seen. I work full time and attend school. This is inconvenient, but I had always received great service and trusted the dealer. Now, I’ve spent a significant amount of money on this transmission repair, and spent several days without my vehicle due to this issue. I spent another full day waiting for the service tech to look at my car this past Saturday, with an 8:00am appointment. I didn’t get my car back or a call back until 3:00pm. The result was, “[the service tech] feels exactly what you are describing, but that’s normal CVT operation.â€
The car drives nothing like it did before the transmission went out. It doesn’t seem possible that it’s “normal†for me to have to press the gas pedal to the floor to drive up hill, just to obtain a speed of maybe 35-40 MPH. It doesn’t seem possible that it’s “normal†for me to have to let off the gas at 4,000 RPM and then press it again to ‘shift’ and maintain my freeway speed (which, at 70-75 MPH, it’s running 3,000 to 3,500 RPM). And it’s not “normal†that I cannot accelerate from a stop or get on the freeway at a normal speed.
It’s frustrating and makes me question whether the replacement transmission was indeed new. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing that, myself.
I’m disappointed with Nissan overall. I have owned Nissan’s (and bought all of them from Fontana Nissan) since I started driving but they have left a bad impression on me and I will not be purchasing another one in the future.
These CVT transmissions are terrible.
