Which years to avoid
- 2016 (2013–2016): The worst CVT years: shudder, overheating, and failures often before 120,000 miles. Nissan extended warranties tell the story.
- 2015 (2013–2016): The worst CVT years: shudder, overheating, and failures often before 120,000 miles. Nissan extended warranties tell the story.
- 2014 (2013–2016): The worst CVT years: shudder, overheating, and failures often before 120,000 miles. Nissan extended warranties tell the story.
- 2013 (2013–2016): The worst CVT years: shudder, overheating, and failures often before 120,000 miles. Nissan extended warranties tell the story.
What to check before you pay
- 2013–2016 CVT: shudder, whine, overheating and failure — the defining issue; warranty was extended on some years
- 2017+: improved but still service-dependent — fluid records matter
- Hood latch and passenger airbag sensor recalls on several years — check VIN
