Buying a Nissan Quest 2014 - 2016 CVT issues
Hi All, thank you for the great site and feedback information. Nissan is one my favorite makes in cars, as I had a Maxima 98 and gotten over 290k before it went out. My Maxima 2014 has 65k and has been fine as a commuter car.
I've been looking at mini vans for the family and just don't want to buy a Sienna or Odyssey. I like how the Quest looks. After reading many of the reviews, it seems the earlier generations from 2011-2014 had the most CVT issues. The 2015-2017 had a different gen in the CVT and was less problematic, or maybe. I am looking at 3 currently to buy: 1st: 2014 / SL / 70k 2nd: 2015 / S / 30k 3rd: 2016 / SV / 60k The wife would prefer the SL as it has leather and it would help with cleaning the vehicle if the kids spill juice, the others are cloth and it doesn't bother me one bit. If you had to choose 1, which one? I know the low mileage would be preferred, however, I just wanted opinions and what people thought about the CVT or other issues that would arise based on these 3 model years. Thanks. |

Nissan is still having problems, today, on various models. My friend purchased a low-mileage, 2016 Altima last year and a week later the CVT failed and there was a TSB on it. I'm a former Nissan Master Tech and I don't trust them. They are pretty much hit or miss in that some people have no problems with them and a lot of other people have had them fail...and not necessarily because of abuse or lack of service, although some say replacing the CVT fluid every 30,000 miles helps. If you got the 2016, you might still be able to purchase the Nissan extended warranty to 100,000 miles, so that's something you may want to look into. I usually don't recommend extended warranties, but they are sometimes beneficial when we know certain problems exist on certain vehicles and we don't know the history of the vehicle.
