It’s getting late for Nissan, I’d go back to what people want and build from there. I’d put regular automatic transmission (no cvt) and non turbo motors in their top selling vehicles and sell at MSRP (no markups or add on’s) and see if that works. Also I’d have good service dept with Tech’s that know what they’re doing. Lots of their dealer service dept have turn to crap also.
Yeah they hired some people who would say “ok at this dealership Infiniti and Nissan this is what salesmen say what customers want and let’s do the opposite “ I was asked in 2018 to be on a panel to tell high ups what to sell and I told them simple stuff like “make the QX80 with a diesel and it can be special order only or make a Q30 to complete with A3 or make a Q60 in convertible at least for certain markets such as California or Florida “ what Nissan biggest problems are they take too long to come out with stuff . And yeah also many customers don’t like the driving stuff with CVT it’s a bit jerky
Nissan is terrible at almost everything 😂. Nissan doesn't know how to advertise their good vehicles, like the Frontier... And.the Titan. Well they use to make the Titan. What a shame. Nissan need to get rid of Jatco, the maker of Nissan's transmission. Nissan need some type of better metal or material for the bodies of their cars, because they rust so fast!!! But I feel that Nissan need to go away with the dodo birds.
The Cvt issue is mainly fixed. Change the oil in it every 30k and it will be fine. The variable compression rate engines and the 3 liter twin turbo engines are what I’d stay away from.
One acronym…JATCO. Get rid of CVTs, go back to manual transmissions and automatics and their market share would likely improve, but it may now be too little, too late.
I have to disagree on some of your analysis. Many people want simple, basic, reliable and AFFORDABLE transportation. Give consumers a car with AC, automatic and a radio with a price tag of 18-20k and they will fly off the shelves. Manufacturers want to load their vehicles with all this tech and bells and whistles to jack up the prices and make higher margins. Affordability and reliability are broken and no manufacturer seems to want to address those two major issues. There will be some manufacturers that won’t survive because they refuse to face reality.
@@Greatdome99 there's nothing wrong with Nissan engines they are good engines they need to get rid of the cvts and go back to the traditional automatic transmission or manual transmission
People have been asking for a long time for them to get rid of the trash CVT. They refused when other manufacturers continued to develop and make more conventional transmissions. Bad decisions cost companies.
One thing I just noticed about an Ariya EV cheap 2-year lease ($99/month), was that they assumed a residual (future) value of $25k on the car, and they say "The customer may be charged for the difference between the assumed residual value and the actual value of the car after 2 years." .... I don't think that's "normal", as I did have a lease on a 2018 Equinox for 3 years, and just turned the car in, and I don't remember them threatening to charge me extra at lease-end for their loss if the vehicle was actually worth less than the resdiual predicted value.
I don't want 'advance technical features', sketch turbo engines, weak-sauce CVT, or stupid 'drive-modes'. All of that junk will break just out of warranty, and it looks like parts to repair the vehicles is a fantasy. I do like the 2025 Frontier but it's too expensive.
Nissan's ill decision on using CVT for most of their lineup is the single biggest reason contributes to its demise. CVT was the watershed moment in Nissan quality.
@@kevinw1090 my wife had a 2014 Nissan Altima with a cvt that’s got around 200,000 miles now and there’s never been a single issue with the transmission and it’s never even been serviced.
@@Commentleaver-c6x it all depends on how it’s driven. You should definitely flush the transmission and replace the fluid every 30,000 miles/50,000 km apparently.

Nissan's troubles began with Renault purchasing the company. Affordable cars would be nice, and it would be nice if they were dependable. Right now, Nissan's are neither affordable or dependable. CVT transmission problems are all too common.
Is that when they changed from Datsun to Nissan? I had an 84 Datsun. Very good truck. A 94 Nissan. Built by inbred hillbillies in TN. Piece of junk. And a 2002 Xtra-Terrible. More garbage. Should have remained “Datsun!”
One year in the late 90s, the oil passageways in Altima engines was too small. They recalled all Altimas, and redid the engines.... even the ones that hadn't sold yet. That may have started the ball rolling. That had to have cost millions!
It was 2008 when i got my first dish of how bad these CVT's were in Nissan's, up till now i feel confident in saying that's 80% of their issue from years of seeing people giving up on them, and then seeing all the issues other auto makers were having with them too. But the one mystery that still baffles me to this day is how did Nissan get it so wrong, but Subaru get it so right but still have just as bad of a CVT? I see so many in my line of work that when a Nissan, Kia, GM, Honda ECT.... have a failing CVT, most just give up and trade/sale/get rid of, but Subaru people, they just keep going back and buying another. I once towed a 2015 Outback for a lady 4 times for CVT issues over like 3 years and when she decided she had had enough with it, she went and bought a new Outback, and guess what, with only 37K miles on it, it had it's first CVT issue, she told me quote "just new car things" yeah, sure. I just don't get it, whether just pure stupidity, the way other manufacturers are marketing themselves, Nissan should have looked at what ever it is Subaru is doing because they figured it how to sale someone this horrible piece of junk transmission and get people to keep coming back.
they lost so many repeat customers with the Jatco CVT. Nothing has hurt them compared to that. They should have test-bedded that CVT in a single small car and worked the bugs out over the years. Instead, they put it in everything and burned so many people.
Nissan has some great looking vehicles, but my contention is that the CVT transmissions haven't worked that well and other brands such as Honda, Toyota, Kia, and Hyundai have continued or really stepped up their game. But now I'm reading that even Honda is having lower sales too! I wonder if Infinity is in danger now also, since Nissan is having a hard time?

We were solid nissan buyers years ago. Seven or eight new vehicles. After Puegot bought Nissan, I sold my nissans and still have not owned one since. France is terrible! And until they disappear I will not own another Nissan.
Word is on the CVT you supposed to has them service every 30,000 miles depending on what car it is that’s about 3 to 4 hundred everytime people not feeling that
Dealerships tell me the Z's get so much attention yet I see them sit on the lot. The one I checked had 300 days according to the Vin checker. High apr and markups on the Z is keeping them on dealer lots
Nissan decided to cheap out on quality and then let the Nissan dealerships markup their junk cars to ridiculous prices for years. The consumer trust is gone, and they have moved on to other automakers.
I worked for Nissan North America starting in 1998. This was n the pre-Renault period. Maybe 6 months before I joined they had gone through what they called the “VRO/VSO” program for Voluntary Retirement and Voluntary Separation programs. I just got an offer letter from them giving me the opportunity to cash out my pension. I’m taking the deal!
I had 8 nissans. Used to love them but learned to hate them after 2 Muranos. Muranos with screeching transfer case, passenger seat airbag failure, cracked dashes, oil cooler leaks, $10,000 repairs at 80,000 miles
Nissan/Infiniti needs to fire its design leadership (looking at you, Alfonso Albaisa and Shiro Nakamura) as soon as possible, and infuse new blood to revamp its weirdly unattractive lineup of designs that have been going on for God knows how long.
It's sad what happened with Nissan. They went from being a more interesting and kind of a special Japanese car brand compared to the Toyota's and Honda's of the 90's to now, a mere "also ran". Instead of taking home trophies, they are lucky to get a participation ribbon. They probably shouldn't have tried to compete with Toyota/Lexus, it seems all their woes began with the launch of Infiniti, which drained all their cash, and while the cars where objectively good, they just couldn't figure out the marketing side of selling to a luxury car buyer. So while Lexus was demonstrating luxury, precision, and obsession with quality in commercials and printed ads that showed the actual cars in unique ways that demonstrated attention to detail, smoothness, quality, etc, Infiniti was showing rocks and streams but no cars, and platitudes that meant nothing to anyone unless they already knew what Infiniti was. All of their cars have been pretty much fine, but none of them has really set a high bar in any luxury category. The GTR is a legendary car for Nissan, but holy moly that thing is old...the R35 has been around since 2009. The new Infiniti QX80 looks promising, but with a 6 figure price tag, I'm not sure it will lure people away from Escalades and Merc GLS's, or X7's, or LX550's, etc, no matter how good it might be. There was also the Renault merger and Charles Ghosn...but he decline was already well underway when that all happened. Sad story of a once-great brand that became a victim of poor management.
Nissan makes an affordable truck. It should build on improving that truck and offer an excellent off road package truck. Marketed as an off road truck, but also as the truck you want to have when you need to get your family to safety. With the severe weather, forest fires, and floods, marketing a capable truck that you can put your family safety in is a strong argument to buy one.
When I purchased my used Nissan Versa (manual transmission) 2011 the Salesman was deceptive when he had me the key. He handed it to me holding the key side. He didn't want me to see that the key was damaged and then wanted to charge me an extra $300.00 to have a new key made. Bad Business Practice.
After buying several Nissans between 2010 and 2018 I cant believe the failure rate of the transmissions. I had a 2012 Sentra that failed at 3,000 miles and required a new transmission. RIP Nissan
i heard Nissan is looking to cut the Altima and Versa from the lineup, leaving the Sentra as it's only sedan. if that's the case, it's likely because people who normally buy the Altima don't like their cvt. Sentra owners don't care as much, because the Sentra is viewed as the economy car that you can take to work and back, but the Altima is what people look at when it comes to buying a family car, or a second car for everyday driving. so i don't know what's going on, but Nissan has lagged behind the competition for awhile, it's because they won't change that awful cvt transmission. Nissan Rogue sales suffer because of it, now Hyundai isn't actually more reliable, but the reason they are doing better, it's because none of their vehicles are plagued with the jacto cvt Nissan uses. they also don't have a hybrid electric like the competition does, all Rav4's and CRV's, along with the Tuscan, they all have a hybrid or turbo option. you have to keep up with buyers interest, but also the industry itself in what they are putting out. most of Nissan's cars all look the same, and there's nothing appealing about them. the Maxima was ruined a long time ago, back when they decided to stick a cvt in there from 2013 onward, so like the Altima that's likely why sales are down. they don't have anybody to blame, but themselves. if they wanna compete and be taken seriously, you have to do something that makes you stand out. that means making better business decisions, like getting rid of that awful cvt that they use. Toyota and Honda are better, especially Honda and that's only because Honda went to Toyota to learn how to build a proper cvt that's more reliable similar to the Prius. it's why they're reliable, but Nissan refuses to budge, or look to anybody else for help. but it's mainly customer feedback, they largely ignore those people and that's a mistake.
The CVT transmissions will go away the you gut the EPA and CAFE standards. CVTs are one way car companies can get their fleets in compliance of stub government fuel economy regulations.
Love/Hate relationship for me. Back in 80's & 90'S i LOVED nissan cars and trucks. Now, i HATE nissan cars and trucks. Had too many BAD services. I've bought extended warranty and everytime i try to use it, parts are cover but labors is not and another time i try to use warranty again, labor is cover and parts is not cover? What kind of stupid warranty is that. Never had this problems with Honda or Toyota dealership.
😂😂😂Funny Story!! After your video there was a Nissan advertisement about “These Rogues going fast!!!” They must be talking about the 2023 ones!! 😢😢😢 I laugh at their misfortune!
No matter how much of a good or great deal they offer, hard to chance buying one when you look at the overall picture, including the VC turbo engine that has also had problems.
Read video I happen to be driving a Infiniti QX 50 on a 12 month lease for 299 a month including tax we live in Oregon. I’m just curious this is a 2023. What other great deals are there right now for Infiniti we only put our first payment down. Can you let me know because we only have one car right now on my husband‘s QX 80 lease just came to an end and he was paying 606 a month for 18 months if you know of any leases with Infiniti or even Nissan for 2025 or 2024 we don’t wanna let us know please. God bless thank you.
Two reasons Nissan is having a hard time: CVTs and over priced vehicles! In fact, most car manufacturers with over priced cars are feeling the pinch! Car prices have reached a point where seeing a sticker for over 85k on a non-luxury vehicle is far too common. Salaries for most folks can't handle prices like that. Also factor in high interest rates and you have a recipe for car manufacturer heartache. If Nissan (as well as other manufacturers) want to turn the tide, start by drastically cutting car prices. Until then, it will be a slow death spiral for many car manufacturers.
I recall back in the 90s when Nissan made desirable vehicles. My 1990s Maxima was a joy. Sadly, those days are long gone. Now we have a plethora of poor designs covering a horrible JATCO CVT. Now when I think about a new vehicle, Nissan has joined brands like Cadillac or VW which remain far from my thoughts.
Used to own some very well liked Nissan vehicles. Two hard body trucks (new) plus a 260z and a 280z plus 2 (both used). Least favorite was my 200sx (new) The current line up with the poor quality CVT transmissions prevents me from going back to Nissan since what else has been compromised? Get rid of the bad vibe CVT and go back to a gear box to regain your reputation.
Nissan have done this to themselves. For too long now they have marketed a mundane, boring, lacklustre, characterless range of vehicles, excepting the Z and GTR. Nothing stands out as being exceptional or inspiring in their models. That CVT transmission should never have been offered, and even after all these years of recalls and class action law suits, they refuse to get rid of it!
1. Nissan Leaf production stopped in Feb 2024 2. In the African market, Nissan Sales have fallen drastically. 3. It's strong sales are in Europe where the Qashqai and Juke are doing better.
Give me the days of the Pontiac and Oldsmobile. Simple, reliable, and affordable. Gotta drive something and all these mid-priced cars are pretty much the same. It's a crap shoot no matter which brand you buy. Remember when Lee Iacocca (RIP) saved Chrysler with the Mini Van. The wheel turns for all corporations and sometimes the wheel runs over you.
They hung on to Chademo charge port for no good reason for way too long, Leaf went from a leader to a follower, need liquid cooling OR a extreme warranty & some minor upgrades and lower the price on Aria
As a owner/fanboy this is sad, and CVT'S shouldn't have been but ive personally never had a problem and the rouge is way better than the RAV4 and CRV and a V8 titan is a way better truck choice than a ridgeline or tundra, but even though i have a love/hate relationship with Honda i hope this deal thing can pull through and last just like the decade long partnership Nissan and Mercedes had!
Nissa produces beautiful high-performance cars at reasonable prices. What I find is that it is the after-care/service that is really Nissan's problem. Don't get me wrong, certain things should not go bad, like a CVT, but make sure that customers can take their cars to a repeatable service center where the workers know more about the cars than the customer. I had a Nissan Maxima and loved it, but got rid of it because when something broke (even something simple), the service people were rude idiots. Nissan needs to focus on more reliable products and BETTER customer service.
I have brand new Nissan Ariya and this massage problem appear to me EV System Off For the first time I saw this massage when the car was under 1000km and the truck came after 2 days and bring the car to the service center… they fix it … but after another 2000 km this massage appear again… from Nissan Bulgaria they refused to fix it This car is with warranty and even doesn’t have 10000 km! I bought it before 3 months and 2 times was in to the service. Still can’t drive it and they refused to fix it… I dont know what to do with this car… and now I see that other people have the same problem with other Nissan cars I have Nissan 370, Qashqai and this junk Ariya…. I will never buy Nissan car again after my experience with Ariya!
Besides their crappy CVT transmissions, they now have a 3 cylinder variable compression motor with a turbo in the Rogue. That is just going to be more problems down the road for them.
I loved Nissan but last year when I learned that they are doing to discoune their maxima which is full size sedan 🚘 then I backed off. I did not like that. Also, Lauren the war or tension in the Middle East Iran / Israel will increase oil prices. In fact, in my area oil prices have already skyrocketed to $4 a baller. If the tensions escalate it will get worse. Please in the coming time do let us know your thoughts on it or how American 🇺🇸 can brace for impact. Thank you
Well Nissan hung on to that pile of junk Jatco CVT way too long, that thing single handily destroyed untold sales of future buyers. Nissan did Toyota and Honda a huge favor with that crappy transmission. They also had styling that was just horrible, some of the ugliest cars I've ever seen until 22-23MY when they refreshed. I have a '24 Pathfinder which I really like, gone is the CVT and a proven V6 with no stupid turbo. If they find better stylists and junk all the CVT's except maybe for eCVT's in Hybrids I think they'd be fine.
If anything they may just leave the US. And face it, the main reason why (all cars NOT just Nissan) cars are not selling in the US, is mainly due to these greedy car dealers. Its so bad that many people dread buying a car.
I’m a licensed car dealer and I will say I avoid all Nissans and haven’t had one on my lot yet. They’re untrustworthy and they’re not dependable. People are wanting dependable vehicles. Take the bells and whistles and make your transmission and your censors more durable. People are wanting Honda and Toyota bc they last.
After railroading their CEO and any other foreigner in the top management, their split with Renault, they went back to bad habits. This is the GM of japan. No products were even compelling to buy.
This company blatantly put bad CVT transmissions in their cars and denied there was anything wrong when you’d take the car into the service center. Had 3 Nissans. The first was great. The next two were junk. Don’t feel the slightest bit bad if they go under.

We were solid nissan buyers years ago. Seven or eight new vehicles. After Puegot bought Nissan, I sold my nissans and still have not owned one since. France is terrible! And until they disappear I will not own another Nissan.
@jeanclaude7018 Yep. My mistake. Renault owns Nissan. I mixed them up. Not Peugeot.
Nissan, get rid of your Infamous Crap-Co Cvt Transmissions and you might just start selling vehicles , once again !!!
Every other car on the road is a Nissan including mine which is faultless. Just maintain it.
What fantasy words do you live in?
My daughter had a late model Nissan Rogue. It was not faultless. The key word being "was" as that was the last Nissan we will ever have.
Car journalism at it’s best! The last good reporting, since 60 minutes THX
Thanks
Please share - we need to build this channel together. - Thanks!
Oh, much better than 60 Minutes IMHO.
@DHW256 thank you!
Except she completely missed the elephant in the room--poor reliability.
Sinking like the Titanic. Hasta la vista baby.
Nissan already announced that the Versa and Altima will soon be discontinued. I hope Nissan will find a way to get back on track.
Sadly only their trucks are something I’d consider.
Truck, singular going forward.
Only briefly.
Word is on the CVT you supposed to has them service every 30,000 miles depending on what car it is that’s about 3 to 4 hundred everytime people not feeling that
Dealerships tell me the Z's get so much attention yet I see them sit on the lot. The one I checked had 300 days according to the Vin checker. High apr and markups on the Z is keeping them on dealer lots
@@MrGlutting true. Went in to buy a performance, online $53K, ended up $72K with markup, taxes, fees. We got up and left. Waste of our time.
@@pickmeisha What area you buying from? I've called Utah and AZ dealers, They won't give me a price over the phone but they said there's no markups.
Maybe they will follow FORD, and just sell TRUCKS ! I do like my 2022 Frontier Pro-4X.
Just what does "Pro-4x" mean? I seldom see one here, and never off-road.
Nissan decided to cheap out on quality and then let the Nissan dealerships markup their junk cars to ridiculous prices for years. The consumer trust is gone, and they have moved on to other automakers.
Never forget this is Datsun they sucked and rusted not 1 on road. Just rebranded junk. uneducated buyers don't know. Dad said so.
I worked for Nissan North America starting in 1998. This was n the pre-Renault period. Maybe 6 months before I joined they had gone through what they called the “VRO/VSO” program for Voluntary Retirement and Voluntary Separation programs. I just got an offer letter from them giving me the opportunity to cash out my pension. I’m taking the deal!
Smart move
I had 8 nissans. Used to love them but learned to hate them after 2 Muranos. Muranos with screeching transfer case, passenger seat airbag failure, cracked dashes, oil cooler leaks, $10,000 repairs at 80,000 miles
Nissan/Infiniti needs to fire its design leadership (looking at you, Alfonso Albaisa and Shiro Nakamura) as soon as possible, and infuse new blood to revamp its weirdly unattractive lineup of designs that have been going on for God knows how long.
Brilliant reporting btw
It's sad what happened with Nissan. They went from being a more interesting and kind of a special Japanese car brand compared to the Toyota's and Honda's of the 90's to now, a mere "also ran". Instead of taking home trophies, they are lucky to get a participation ribbon. They probably shouldn't have tried to compete with Toyota/Lexus, it seems all their woes began with the launch of Infiniti, which drained all their cash, and while the cars where objectively good, they just couldn't figure out the marketing side of selling to a luxury car buyer. So while Lexus was demonstrating luxury, precision, and obsession with quality in commercials and printed ads that showed the actual cars in unique ways that demonstrated attention to detail, smoothness, quality, etc, Infiniti was showing rocks and streams but no cars, and platitudes that meant nothing to anyone unless they already knew what Infiniti was. All of their cars have been pretty much fine, but none of them has really set a high bar in any luxury category. The GTR is a legendary car for Nissan, but holy moly that thing is old...the R35 has been around since 2009. The new Infiniti QX80 looks promising, but with a 6 figure price tag, I'm not sure it will lure people away from Escalades and Merc GLS's, or X7's, or LX550's, etc, no matter how good it might be. There was also the Renault merger and Charles Ghosn...but he decline was already well underway when that all happened. Sad story of a once-great brand that became a victim of poor management.
My Nissan Rogue CVT transmission went bad with only 97,000 miles! Do you think I would buy another Nissan?
Nissan makes an affordable truck. It should build on improving that truck and offer an excellent off road package truck. Marketed as an off road truck, but also as the truck you want to have when you need to get your family to safety. With the severe weather, forest fires, and floods, marketing a capable truck that you can put your family safety in is a strong argument to buy one.
When I purchased my used Nissan Versa (manual transmission) 2011 the Salesman was deceptive when he had me the key. He handed it to me holding the key side. He didn't want me to see that the key was damaged and then wanted to charge me an extra $300.00 to have a new key made. Bad Business Practice.
Not offering hybrids is really hurting them.
100% agree
After buying several Nissans between 2010 and 2018 I cant believe the failure rate of the transmissions. I had a 2012 Sentra that failed at 3,000 miles and required a new transmission. RIP Nissan
i heard Nissan is looking to cut the Altima and Versa from the lineup,
leaving the Sentra as it's only sedan. if that's the case, it's likely because
people who normally buy the Altima don't like their cvt. Sentra owners
don't care as much, because the Sentra is viewed as the economy car
that you can take to work and back, but the Altima is what people look
at when it comes to buying a family car, or a second car for everyday driving.
so i don't know what's going on, but Nissan has lagged behind the competition
for awhile, it's because they won't change that awful cvt transmission.
Nissan Rogue sales suffer because of it,
now Hyundai isn't actually more reliable, but the reason they are doing better,
it's because none of their vehicles are plagued with the jacto cvt Nissan uses.
they also don't have a hybrid electric like the competition does, all Rav4's
and CRV's, along with the Tuscan, they all have a hybrid or turbo option.
you have to keep up with buyers interest, but also the industry itself in what
they are putting out. most of Nissan's cars all look the same, and there's nothing
appealing about them. the Maxima was ruined a long time ago,
back when they decided to stick a cvt in there from 2013 onward,
so like the Altima that's likely why sales are down. they don't have anybody
to blame, but themselves. if they wanna compete and be taken seriously,
you have to do something that makes you stand out. that means
making better business decisions, like getting rid of that awful cvt
that they use. Toyota and Honda are better, especially Honda and that's only
because Honda went to Toyota to learn how to build a proper
cvt that's more reliable similar to the Prius. it's why they're reliable,
but Nissan refuses to budge, or look to anybody else for help. but it's mainly
customer feedback, they largely ignore those people and that's a mistake.
How about lucid motor?
I dunno... I see Nissan commercials and I think about Brie Larson.... this car, was not made for me.....😂
lol
The CVT transmissions will go away the you gut the EPA and CAFE standards. CVTs are one way car companies can get their fleets in compliance of stub government fuel economy regulations.
Yes but it isn’t the only way and as it has turned out for Nissan one of the worst ways.
It didn't help when the new Nissan Z hit the dealers the dealers were asking $20,000 and up over MSRP.
Love/Hate relationship for me. Back in 80's & 90'S i LOVED nissan cars and trucks. Now, i HATE nissan cars and trucks. Had too many BAD services. I've bought extended warranty and everytime i try to use it, parts are cover but labors is not and another time i try to use warranty again, labor is cover and parts is not cover? What kind of stupid warranty is that. Never had this problems with Honda or Toyota dealership.
Anyone have any info the new Murano?
😂😂😂Funny Story!! After your video there was a Nissan advertisement about “These Rogues going fast!!!” They must be talking about the 2023 ones!! 😢😢😢 I laugh at their misfortune!
No matter how much of a good or great deal they offer, hard to chance buying one when you look at the overall picture, including the VC turbo engine that has also had problems.
I find it funny that dealerships still charging markups on some of their cars today. Guess they are not to worries of going under.
I WOULD NEVER, EVER PURCHASE ANOTHER NISSAN! THE TRANSMISSIONS SUCK!
Read video I happen to be driving a Infiniti QX 50 on a 12 month lease for 299 a month including tax we live in Oregon. I’m just curious this is a 2023. What other great deals are there right now for Infiniti we only put our first payment down. Can you let me know because we only have one car right now on my husband‘s QX 80 lease just came to an end and he was paying 606 a month for 18 months if you know of any leases with Infiniti or even Nissan for 2025 or 2024 we don’t wanna let us know please. God bless thank you.
Two reasons Nissan is having a hard time: CVTs and over priced vehicles! In fact, most car manufacturers with over priced cars are feeling the pinch! Car prices have reached a point where seeing a sticker for over 85k on a non-luxury vehicle is far too common. Salaries for most folks can't handle prices like that. Also factor in high interest rates and you have a recipe for car manufacturer heartache. If Nissan (as well as other manufacturers) want to turn the tide, start by drastically cutting car prices. Until then, it will be a slow death spiral for many car manufacturers.
Cvt woes and no hybrids 🤔
I recall back in the 90s when Nissan made desirable vehicles. My 1990s Maxima was a joy. Sadly, those days are long gone. Now we have a plethora of poor designs covering a horrible JATCO CVT.
Now when I think about a new vehicle, Nissan has joined brands like Cadillac or VW which remain far from my thoughts.
Used to own some very well liked Nissan vehicles. Two hard body trucks (new) plus a 260z and a 280z plus 2 (both used). Least favorite was my 200sx (new)
The current line up with the poor quality CVT transmissions prevents me from going back to Nissan since what else has been compromised?
Get rid of the bad vibe CVT and go back to a gear box to regain your reputation.
Nissan have done this to themselves. For too long now they have marketed a mundane, boring, lacklustre, characterless range of vehicles, excepting the Z and GTR. Nothing stands out as being exceptional or inspiring in their models. That CVT transmission should never have been offered, and even after all these years of recalls and class action law suits, they refuse to get rid of it!
Toyota also has "a mundane, boring, lackluster, characterless range of vehicles" but is doing well.
1. Nissan Leaf production stopped in Feb 2024
2. In the African market, Nissan Sales have fallen drastically.
3. It's strong sales are in Europe where the Qashqai and Juke are doing better.
Is that also the end of Infinity?
Even with all those incentives I wouldn’t touch a Nissan with huge depreciation.
Buying for resell is flawed logic. The smartest thing to do is drive your money out of them. If you want something new every few years lease.
Give me the days of the Pontiac and Oldsmobile. Simple, reliable, and affordable. Gotta drive something and all these mid-priced cars are pretty much the same. It's a crap shoot no matter which brand you buy. Remember when Lee Iacocca (RIP) saved Chrysler with the Mini Van. The wheel turns for all corporations and sometimes the wheel runs over you.
It’s a wrap for Nissan
Leaf is the best car I ever owned. But charging infrastructure is horrific
I see alot of Rogues on the road. I think Jatco switched to chains for this CVT vs the belts that were unreliable.
They hung on to Chademo charge port for no good reason for way too long, Leaf went from a leader to a follower, need liquid cooling OR a extreme warranty & some minor upgrades and lower the price on Aria
Interesting what will happen in the rest of the year 🤔
As a owner/fanboy this is sad, and CVT'S shouldn't have been but ive personally never had a problem and the rouge is way better than the RAV4 and CRV and a V8 titan is a way better truck choice than a ridgeline or tundra, but even though i have a love/hate relationship with Honda i hope this deal thing can pull through and last just like the decade long partnership Nissan and Mercedes had!
Unfortunately governments continually bail out bad automakers here and abroad. Too many brands in the world.
Auto Makers NEED to listen to customers NOT DC Socialists.
Educate yourself. If possible.
Fred is right, you are wrong, you must be a socialist
I have a 2023 Nissan Pathfinder SL 4WD I like the vehicle. I has a 9 speed transmission and V6 not a turbo 4. I feel like Pathfinder is overlooked
Gone done hill since Renault bought them.
Without Renault Nissan was already bankrupt in the 90’s…
Nissa produces beautiful high-performance cars at reasonable prices. What I find is that it is the after-care/service that is really Nissan's problem. Don't get me wrong, certain things should not go bad, like a CVT, but make sure that customers can take their cars to a repeatable service center where the workers know more about the cars than the customer. I had a Nissan Maxima and loved it, but got rid of it because when something broke (even something simple), the service people were rude idiots. Nissan needs to focus on more reliable products and BETTER customer service.
I have brand new Nissan Ariya and this massage problem appear to me
EV System Off
For the first time I saw this massage when the car was under 1000km
and the truck came after 2 days and bring the car to the service center… they fix it … but after another 2000 km this massage appear again… from Nissan Bulgaria they refused to fix it
This car is with warranty and even doesn’t have 10000 km!
I bought it before 3 months and 2 times was in to the service.
Still can’t drive it and they refused to fix it…
I dont know what to do with this car…
and now I see that other people have the same problem with other Nissan cars
I have Nissan 370, Qashqai and this junk Ariya….
I will never buy Nissan car again after my experience with Ariya!
Wow! That’s horrible. Contact corporate - I hope they can help.
Besides their crappy CVT transmissions, they now have a 3 cylinder variable compression motor with a turbo in the Rogue. That is just going to be more problems down the road for them.
I loved Nissan but last year when I learned that they are doing to discoune their maxima which is full size sedan 🚘 then I backed off. I did not like that. Also, Lauren the war or tension in the Middle East Iran / Israel will increase oil prices. In fact, in my area oil prices have already skyrocketed to $4 a baller. If the tensions escalate it will get worse. Please in the coming time do let us know your thoughts on it or how American 🇺🇸 can brace for impact. Thank you
I love the Maxima too - very sad to watch this.
Well Nissan hung on to that pile of junk Jatco CVT way too long, that thing single handily destroyed untold sales of future buyers. Nissan did Toyota and Honda a huge favor with that crappy transmission. They also had styling that was just horrible, some of the ugliest cars I've ever seen until 22-23MY when they refreshed. I have a '24 Pathfinder which I really like, gone is the CVT and a proven V6 with no stupid turbo. If they find better stylists and junk all the CVT's except maybe for eCVT's in Hybrids I think they'd be fine.
I love nissan motors but their cvt transmission alone makes me steer away from most models
If anything they may just leave the US. And face it, the main reason why (all cars NOT just Nissan) cars are not selling in the US, is mainly due to these greedy car dealers. Its so bad that many people dread buying a car.
I’m a licensed car dealer and I will say I avoid all Nissans and haven’t had one on my lot yet. They’re untrustworthy and they’re not dependable. People are wanting dependable vehicles. Take the bells and whistles and make your transmission and your censors more durable. People are wanting Honda and Toyota bc they last.
Simple. Improve the product.
I love my Nissan Ariya EV and plan to buy or lease another one.
Nissan has been making crappy cars since Ghosen ruined the franchise. No wonder why Japan wanted to lock him up.
What’s going on with Chrysler aka Stelantis?
After railroading their CEO and any other foreigner in the top management, their split with Renault, they went back to bad habits. This is the GM of japan. No products were even compelling to buy.
This company blatantly put bad CVT transmissions in their cars and denied there was anything wrong when you’d take the car into the service center. Had 3 Nissans. The first was great. The next two were junk. Don’t feel the slightest bit bad if they go under.
AFFORDABLE NISSANS IS THE KEY IN THE US MARKET, IF YOU CONTINUE TO INCREASE YOUR CAR LINE UP IT WILL COST YOU MORE IN THE END!!!
I agree that cvt screwed thm cuz there were good till cvt came out. Good luck nissian
