CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUES DRIVERS
This detailed data can be found on the car model pages. For drivers who want a car that is fun to drive around, the continuously variable transmission is incapable of handling high-torque applications which makes it. The journey to 200,000 miles can be a bumpy one, but it can be smoother if you have a good, reliable car and properly maintain it, per the directions in the owner's manual.Ĭonsumer Reports always recommends that shoppers consult our reliability ratings, based on our large-scale member surveys, to predict the models that have better odds of being trouble free. In cases where there are no alternatives presented, it means there are no similar cars that weren't found to have the same issue or another significant problem. We then recommend similar alternative cars that don't have this problem. We spotlight the model year with the greatest problems (and when applicable, list a range of years affected by this problem) and the typical mileage range when the problem occurs. The 10 highlighted models are presented below in rank order, starting with the one with the greatest problem rate among CR members. A Chrysler transmission class action lawsuit alleges defective Jatco JF011E transmissions are contained in the 2010-2013 Jeep Patriot, the 2010-2013 Jeep Compass and the 2010-2012 Dodge Caliber. Looking just a bit further, there are several vehicles that have a disproportionate frequency of transmission issues, including, in rank order: the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country/ Dodge Grand Caravan, 2012 Buick Enclave, 2013 Cadillac SRX, and 2013 Fiat 500.
Since CVTs depend on the belts to operate, if these suffer from excessive stretching or too much wear, the transmission can completely fail. We focused on models from the past decade. Some of the common problems that owners run into include overheating, slipping, and sudden loss of acceleration. To help warn both current owners and used-car shoppers, we have collected 10 models that stood out as having the most severe problems, as determined by frequency and cost. One Forte owner said that their transmission "went out" at just 4,300 miles and that it took 44 days for the transmission to be replaced, underscoring that such major problems can be expensive and/or highly inconvenient. Some Focus owners said the work was done under warranty. Pain can be felt in comments from Ford Focus and Kia Forte owners, in particular, who experienced problems with relatively few miles on their vehicles. One Murano owner reported that the work cost him $5,000.
Numerous Nissan cars and SUVs were caught up with transmission problems from the 2012 to 2015 model years. Some members reported that the work was covered under warranty or that the transmission was replaced under a special Nissan extended warranty program, the type of customer service support that manufacturers sometimes extend to address common problems. Several Nissans stood out for the frequency that their continuously variable transmission needed to be replaced.
