vs
CVT transmission OEM Honda or OEM Nissan
Reviews
I’ve lost track of how many Honda CVT’s I’ve seen with 200k+.
Pros: seen with 200k+ mileage
Honda's CVT is seemly bulletproof at stock power levels. At my wife's work(Honda specialist shop) they have never had a Honda CVT failure, with numerous customers at over 250k miles. And many more at around 200k.
Pros: bulletproof at stock power
The CVTs aren't bad, the key thing most people who have needed replacements is lack of maintenance. I've seen Honda Odysseys that have driven as NYC cabs need transmission fluid at 10k cause of the driving.
Pros: not bad if maintained
Cons: requires strict maintenance
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
my 2016 crv LX has had no cvt issues so far. changed my fluid at 36,000 miles
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Honda
Mileage: 57936 km
Not blown up yet.
2005 model, bought used 2015 at 68,000 miles (109,000km) and still have at 235k mi (378k km).
Insufficient pressure causing slipping if trying to accelerate in reverse. Will reverse at idle fine. Been like that since I got it, no better or worse now. No issues forwards. No juddering of start clutch. Drain/refill of CVT-F every 25k mi (40k km).
Will repair it as necessary when it fails.
Pros: no issues forwards
Cons: slipping in reverse
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 378000 km
my sister in law had an 09 Murano. Same thing. She replaced the CVT in it 3 times
Cons: repeated failures, poor reliability
Vehicle:
Nissan Murano
Unfortunately the recent Honda CVTs (the cvt im my old Nissan was worse!) have tons of issues and reliability concerns.
Cons: tons of issues, reliability concerns
My 2017 versa died at 54k miles / 88k km. Got 2 quotes, $6k or 8k on a car worth 10k. Canadian $ figures.
Cons: CVT dying, high replacement cost
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 88000 km
Mine went out last year at 50k (32k miles) on a 2017 SL. Super annoying and still annoyed.
Cons: went out, super annoying
Vehicle:
Nissan
Mileage: 51499 km
Transmission problems the famous CVT transmission from Nissan. Total garbage.
Cons: total garbage, transmission problems
