Hi im a newly.
I bought my Qashqu1 5 years ago. After 3 years ago the automatic gearbox failed an d they replaced it under warranty. I understand it had a fault. now 2 years later the gearbox is not functioning in reverse gear. The garage will inspect this monday but say it is out of warranty and I probably will have to pay new gearbox. I drive carefully and having been driving Datsuns and Nissans for 25 years with no problem.
Is there an inherent fault with this gearbox.
Could you please help me

Yes, there is a very serious issue with gearbox reliability that has lead NISSAN USA to offer a 10 year warranty on it. But as your in the UK or Europe your up the creek without a paddle.

I just bought a new CVT and am still a little bit nervous of them after reading about the problems in the USA including lawsuits. It would be nice to have a ten year warranty here in the UK.

thank you for your comments. Is there a pressure group associated with this problem.
Thank you

Louis, you most probably have some time on your Hands and these couple of articles might be of interest to you. Cannot really say I have heard of a Pressure Group on this Problem, but then we have a Manual - Dave :)

Nissan proudly introduced what they called “the first CVT for passenger cars”1 back in 2002. It received mixed reviews, although that’s to be expected with a first-generation product. The most common complaints included difficulty accelerating, shaking / stuttering, running hot, and suddenly shutting down. Luckily, Nissan would go on to address most of those concerns…
