I have a 2014 Altima SL 122,000 miles and I’m not sure if the previous owner ever did the cvt fluid change. Had the car 9 years and would like to prolong its life. Should I have the Nissan dealer do a drain and fill with new filters?
Does this seem like an exhaust rattle or transmission? AI thinks it’s the exhaust. Thoughts? I don’t want to get a new car but with Nissans transmission history it worries me.
Hi
I have a 2014 Nissan Altima SL 122,000 miles but lately it is sluggish going up hills and makes a grinding noise when driving and even when stopped at red lights in drive. Based on its reputation for bad CVTs I finally decided to look for a new car. I’m between the following:
Nissan Sentra - affordable, nice look, can get upgraded interior.
Toyota Corolla - great mpg. Great reputation for reliability.
Toyota Camry - like the look and size. Great mpg for the size of the car. Reliability reputation as well.
Any thoughts? I’m leaning towards the Sentra since
It’s cheaper but worried about reliability issues with Nissan based on the cvt history.
Also leaning towards the Camry as I love the look and the mpg for what you get.
