Nissan knowns that their Jatco transmissions (which they've been using for almost 10 years) fail before 100,000 miles and yet they continue to use them. Not a good look.
The Jatco 4 speed automatics are solid bit sadly only available in Latin American variants of the Micra/March which is a budget small car platform. Even those are now harder to get new with the 4-speed auto as Nissan, for whatever reason, is hell-bent on putting CVTs into all their vehicle models.
I did not comment yet, although I'm driving second car with CVT...in my opinion it has some advantages and some disadvantages compared to standard automatic. While it run every smooth, it can't tow anything....and need fluid replacement more frequently...
I’ve been a Nissan fan for years now. To see this brand in this state is hard to swallow. I hope they pick themselves up soon and deliver another Cinderella story for us the fans.
Having worked at Nissan for many years, the reduction of costs, streamlining plants and new models were a key to success but power struggles at the top has sapped the co pant.
@@GatorEE I have an 04 Sentra Spec V and an 08 Altima coupe and neither of them gave me any issues. Meanwhile, my 2017 Nissan Sentra Nismo (with less than 43k on it) had to get the transmission replaced cuz third and sixth gear would grind. It was replaced under warranty but still sad cuz I thought that it'd last with no issues like my other cars. At least it's not a CVT though lol
You’d think after several years of fiddling with CVT’s, loosing customer base due to reliability and performance... maybe they would revert to more traditional transmissions until they figured it out in R&D?! Really hoping the new Z car brings some love and respect back to Nissan!!
I rented an Altima for a month. It took me over week to realize that it was a CVT transmission. It was probably the best transmission in a regular car I’ve ever driven
Completely agree and they screwed up my Titan XD more each time they touched it. I got it repurchased under the lemon law, never will consider another Nissan.
@TLCounsellor Everyone knows that. It's called being a franchise-dealership. Nisan dealerships are still in a sense, under the umbrella of Nissan as they represent the brand. Therefore, Nissan dealerships should be knowledgeable about the vehicles they sell and how to fix them should a problem arise with them.
@@kaelren4120 if automatic transmission is eliminated, there will be lots of problems for luxury cars like the Rolls Royce. Although I love manual over automatic, changing gears in manual transmission have a little bit of jerkiness which is ok for regular and sports cars but, that’s the problem for luxury cars….
@@yamazakishuoh7026 ok but we talking about nissan here. not RR or other lux brand. automatic in general is too fragile for transmission, its rarely survived after 200.000km, especially for a budget brand like nissan

@@kevinW826 notice *"obsessed with maintainece" That's why, most car owners DON'T care well for their cars. These Jane's and Joe's go around giving the bare minimum effort to keep their wheels rolling, that being said, Toyota, Honda, GM, Ford all seem to have nice handfuls of cars that'll do perfectly well with much less maintainece, and much worse treatment at that. So if nissan is having trouble matching the standard the market sets, isn't that their own problem? Maybe they should make like dodge and try a more performance oriented approach, since people buying dodges/ other lower to upper end performance tend to have the money to maintain them and are more interested in cars to boot, meaning they'll be more inclined to care for them.
@ I would agree with this. The problem is that 98% of NIssan's customers in the past (at leat here in USA) ran those cars into the ground and did not take care of them well. They were all beat to $hit within 8 or 9 years. They were better made vehicles back then though!
Imagine being a Nissan tech or any technician and seeing cars come in with the same problem all year long,to the point where you got to tell customers that this is normal and then they ask wym normal and you explain
I was told by a Nissan service manager after having several repairs and then replacing a transmission in a car with 60k miles, I should buy a decent Toyota or Honda to avoid issues. Anecdotal, but not invalid. Their transmissions are total garbage.

I believe Nissan has finally run out of saviors. As a 45 plus year auto mechanic, I am tired of seeing “Jatco” transmission failures on Nissan vehicles. Additionally, when Renault came onboard in 1999 Nissan quality slowly started to deteriorate. This quality issue accelerated by 2005. Today, Nissan is a mere shadow of the quality auto manufacturer it once was.
@@Dobviews the problem isn't changing the fluid, it's doing a flush. I did a fluid change on an old car o bought because my torque converter was locking up for no reason and it wouldn't downshift when I floored it and it pretty much fixed my problem.
Consumer Reports rated 2000 Pathfinder and 2000 QX4 highest reliability peak in entire Nissan's history. Since 2001, everything has gone downhill on reliability. Were these two the greatest Nissan vehicles on reliability? Both used the 3.3L V6 (VG) engine.
@@M_Jono Lol Scotty sucks, but Fuji Heavy Industries and Nissan have a long history together. If Nissan is in trouble and vulnerable, Subaru should step in and buy them to keep Nissan around. I see it as a win-win. If not outright bought, then a heavy ownership percentage.
My first truck was a Datsun then later I bought a Nissan Sentra. They were great cars, then they built Altimas with CVT transmissions and that's whats taking them down.
the sentras have cvts too and they are worthless. I"ll never buy another nissan unless I can get it with a normal automatic transmission, I"d say manual but I"m not able to drive manuals due to lack of movement and nerve control in left leg.
It;s so funny when americans say that, because the Nissans in your country have engines, transmission etc from Nissan itself, compared to Europe where they share parts with renault. CVT for example = 100% Nissan, European Nissan's have a EDC renault transmission.
@@BixbyConsequence It's not so much that their batteries are sub-par, it's more that their battery thermal management systems are inadequate for hot climates. Old Leafs and Zoes work great in cool and cold climates. I have a friend with a 2013 Leaf that's still going strong, but I live in Canada. :)
Same! Have a Murano...I babied that thing, but the CVT failed on me around 90,000. Had it replaced for $6K that Nissan would not covered under warranty.
I keep on getting calls form the Nissan dealer asking me to bring in my car for an oil change and my service is over due. I drive a Leaf. I've told them many times. They still call.
Yeah it does not need oil replacing. But battery coolant, brake fluids, and certain moving parts need regular maintenance and replacement. You still need to go to service to maintain the car.
My first car, a second hand bluebird, gave me so much trouble when I was a teen, and the scar it left behind prevents me from ever considering another Nissan. Consumer preferences are largely irrational and stubborn, thus long-term quality is vital for a brand, rather than so called cutting edge.
ehh i just got the manual transmission no need to have an auto and manual in one just go for one or the other.... i purchased a 2020 Nissan Versa S which is the base model of this car and it comes in both standard ( manual ) and the CVT. with the manual being roughly 2k less, but still the reliability goes up by a little with out the automatic transmission with the CVT in there with it.
@@deamussan1198 You're lucky guy because in my country dealers only sell 2020 Versa S with CVT, no manual at all. I'd rather take a Nissan with manual/non-CVT automatic than one with that gross Jatco's disaster.
@Big Smoke it’s a junk transmission by design, Shove it in econoboxes all day, but keep it away from cars that would actually be very good. The CVT can cripple what would be a normally good car
@@marionelson3264 you can opt in for a manual if you go to a Nissan dealer website. I did that and saw they had them already at my nearest dealership so I didn't need to customize one since I'm going to turn around and sell the car back next year.

This is sad. My first favorite car was a Nissan - the ‘86 300ZX. I drooled over that car back when I was in sixth grade. The “eyelid” headlights were the coolest thing ever! It was such a beautiful car in the movie Blind Date with Bruce Willis and John Laroquette.
In my life time, I've owned/driven just about every type of Japanese car on the market, I'm a senior citizen already.

@@andersonrodriguez8258 that doesn't really make sense. Nissan sold a lot of cars over the last 20 years. It probably depends on where you live, but in most African countries, Asian countries, Australia/New Zealand etc there are no shortage of Nissan cars.

@@ronaldderooij1774 in all honesty Ronald, Nissan has improved on their CVTs and thus, Mitsu as well. however, the stigma is there and I doubt they'll be able to shake it off. especially the debacle of the first gen CVT and Nissan refusing to acknowledge or fix the problem initially. it'll be interesting how the next 10 years unfold, especially with the Koreans coming up like gangbusters...
Hmmm.... I see way more SUVs than any cars, let alone sports cars, on the road. Even if Nissan introduces the R36 GT-R tomorrow, it won’t save the company on its own.
The 280zx is a sports coupe. And you're comparing it to an EV????? Car companies make money selling economy sedans and SUVs. Toyota sold 3k FRS' and 300k Corollas. Its obvious which ones in the money maker.

I worked at a Nissan dealership. One of our mechanics bought a new Rouge for his mom. The CVT locked up on the freeway on their way home from the dealership. We saw many new cvt failures but his was the worst.
Actually 2 cars NOT MENTIONED from the same era: Ms. Fairlady (240Z, going into the future 400Z) and Mr. Bluebird (started in the mid '60s, but blossomed as the squared 510 in '69, going all the way to today's Altima).

Wow, I guess I’m lucky, since I almost bought a Honda Fit with a CVT! I ended up getting a Mazda CX-3 with an automatic instead. I always considered CVTs to be the most advanced cutting-edge technology. It looks like they still need to work out the bugs.
Not just CVTs, they need to stop corner cutting in general when it comes to their build quality. That was one of Ghosn's methods for upping Nissan's profits using cheaper materials.
@@perfectsplit5515 what a mistake. Honda and Toyota CVTs are reliable. Just ask the taxi drivers. Honda fit holds its value and is reliable. CX3 has way too many issues specially unreliable engines
Personally, I've driven a 05 titan for 15 years with close to 300 thousand miles on it. The most serious mechanic work ive done is the radiator. The transmission's first gear kicks a bit on take off after yielding. Other than than it still feels like a strong truck that im sure can last another 5yrs.
Actually their trucks and big SUVs are reliable we here got the patrol you got the Armada if the patrol get to Usa I am convinced that it will be better than any American Suvs in the meadle East we have a lot of patrols it has more power and comfortable than a landcruiser also parts are waaaaay cheaper cheaper than a corolla parts but I have to say although it's reliable but not as landcruisers
The graphs at 12:00 and probably even at other places throughout the entire video do not have a fixed scale which is misleading to the average viewer. While this adjusted scale does represent a more drastic scenario and gives a greater apprehension for the situation Nissan was in, it misrepresents data and is liable to be categorised as misleading the populace. (The scale in question starts with 9T at the x-axis with 12T as the highest value when one would ideally start at zero as done in the scale prior to it. It basically suddenly shifts from using a standard scale to a non-standard one and paints a far-reaching picture)
Excellent Nissan, you are one of my favorite manufacturers. I have owned (currently own) numerous Nissan vehicles, including: Maxima SV, Altima LE, and Armada LE. Some of the nicest cars I’ve ever owned in my life. I hope Nissan can stay alive
Its a good brother as long u got a toyota, Honda, mazda or hyundai afterwards. All miles better then nissans, and toyotas/Hondas are 250K miles better then nissans, hyundais and mazdas combined.
@@krazzielaosboi Now you are talking crazy. 90's Nissans had better reliability then any on the market. Even better than Toyota. I know because I was a Toyota tech in the early 90's.

@@mrrolandlawrence You have No idea of what you are talking about. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ So I will help clarify your uninformed comment. In the late 1960's and early 70's the Datsun 510, Roadster, and Datsun 240Z lead to the success of Datsun in the U.S. market. The Datsun 810 was also introduced in the 1970's. The 810 is the Maxima. The 70's Datsun B210 got 40mpg. I think people would break down dealerships doors today, to buy an inexpensive car that gets 40mpg. 👍🏽 The Datsun name was put on the card so if the cars failed to catch on in the U.S. The Nissan name would be just fine. So you can call all those models crap boxes if you want. True car people know about the 510, Roadster, 240z, 810, and the B210.
@@LowMS3 that’s being a Nissan Sentra. Starting around early 80’s that was their entry level sedan. I had a 82 and 92. My sister had a 87 and no major problems with them minus a valve job. Been over 30 years ago but I suspect timing belt fail. Which for the time was not overly unusual. Anyone remember Datsun? The predecessor of Nissan and for a year or two they were both names. Granted I was only early teens at the time but I would walk or bike about 10 miles one way for nothing more than sit in the showroom display vehicles. A lot of modern technology items were believe it or not already in production, granted very primitive versions but none the less and state of the art for the time period. In the 80’s US vehicles were regarded as not as well built. Some of the stereotypes still carry on with today’s American manufacturers. High line premium sedans from Europe were the rage. Remember Asian luxury sedans were of the manufacturer. It wasn’t till late 80’s where Acura, Lexus, Infiniti became independently operational companies concentrating on luxury.....at that time there wasn’t as much of a push for performance in luxury vehicles like today.
I had a 1992 Sentra SE-R. It never failed to put a smile on my face. I bought it over the Honda Prelude. The Prelude was prettier but when it came to driving dynamics, the SE-R won easily. I drove it ten years and loved it.
Well that actually did happen in Spain I think (correct me if I’m wrong) about a year ago when Nissan told they were closing the factory, so all the workers protested and burned tires outside.
One of my favorite cars was a ‘95 Nissan Altima 5-speed. It had over 200k miles and was still running great on its original factory power train when I switched up to a larger vehicle in ‘08. After all I’ve learned about the quality of their cars and especially the transmission problems, I wouldn’t spend a dime on one. Damn shame.
I dont completely agree with your comment. Its not always about where its made, its about reliability. For example, Toyota Tacoma is built in Texas, its a very reliable truck and is getting more popular every year especially as GM is destroying the Silverado brand.
I don't agree with that at all, the quality control must be uniformly applied in all countries. The Nissan Juke was made in Jaoan and it was a hopeless piece of garbage.
I was told a story about Datsun.. when they were meeting about a new name,, the CEO said,, we have 10 minutes to come with a name. A guy yells out Dat-soon (Datsun) and there you have it!
@@Bobspineable In fact, leaked documents from last year showed that the Japanese government wanted the Honda company to merge with Nissan (including Infiniti and Mitsubishi). What a shame that Honda rejected Nissan in favor of GM when Honda could've shown Nissan (and car buyers) how Honda's CVTs are more reliable than JATCOs
The CVT transmission reminds me of everything that makes a golf cart not enjoyable to drive. However driving characteristics of the Nissan CVT are so much better than the Chrysler CVTs. Nissans either do or don't Chrysler's you give throttle wait 2-3 minutes and finally it decides to go before just outright refusing to go at all.
Wow CNBC, way to COMPLETELY miss the mark! THE CVT is the main reason why Nissan failed! Not because people think of them as cheap or low-end. Old Nissan's are ridiculously reliable, but as soon as the CVT came along, people caught on quick.

But there sure were a bumper crop of recalls on these cars.
Nissan is finally headed in the right direction: New Sentra and Rogue are very good. Just need a powertrain upgrade Revised Frontier, Armada and Pathfinder are also solid, if not inspired efforts 400Z should help get the brand some shine. I don't think Infiniti is gonna make it, however.
Yeah, my uncle had a 1990’s Nissan van and it had over 300k miles on it. Now my day has a 2014 Nissan Altima and it’s been having problems since day one.

16 minute video and didn’t touch on why Nissan is doing so bad. Reliability! Those CVT and cheap electronics are the reason why. Bought a Nissan and 4/10 it wouldn’t start with less than 5000 miles on it. The brake push to start would fail. Took it 4 times in less than a year until I returned because it was a lemon. It would false sense something in front of the car in the freeway and would brake. Very dangerous! Those car won’t outlast the loan and still would have to pay dealer repairs after the warranty is over. Believe me. I know cars the best cars like you never seen.
I have a Nissan X trail made in Japan with 200,000km XTRONIC transmission and without any problem, all maintenance every 20000km or every 2 years I change the NS3, the car is very good!
could help with the overpopulation problem we have now a days. you know they are not that bad, about that thing that when the cvt fails and ussually it does at high speeds and it locks the tires and you lose complete control of the car, well yeah it can help with overpopulation.
That’s a side effect of hiring Dr. Heinz Doofenschmirtz. BEHOLD! THE CVT-INATOR! Come to think of it, this is a perfect explanation for the CVT tendency to self destruct...
Nissan is like BlackBerry - they kept the same design for many years while other brands moved up and moved on..... this is why they are still where they are... Infinity was good in its early days but they kept that same design for many years..... The 2003 M45 has the same friggin interior as the 2020 QX60... I mean WTF

Completely agree and they screwed up my Titan XD more each time they touched it. I got it repurchased under the lemon law, never will consider another Nissan.
Not one mention of the CVT they been using. Lol.
Spoiler: dealerships have nothing to do with the manufacturer
@TLCounsellor Everyone knows that. It's called being a franchise-dealership. Nisan dealerships are still in a sense, under the umbrella of Nissan as they represent the brand. Therefore, Nissan dealerships should be knowledgeable about the vehicles they sell and how to fix them should a problem arise with them.

They need to stop using JATCO transmission. That’s one of the reasons why it’s failing.

@@kaelren4120 if automatic transmission is eliminated, there will be lots of problems for luxury cars like the Rolls Royce.

@@kevinW826 notice *"obsessed with maintainece"
That's why, most car owners DON'T care well for their cars. These Jane's and Joe's go around giving the bare minimum effort to keep their wheels rolling, that being said, Toyota, Honda, GM, Ford all seem to have nice handfuls of cars that'll do perfectly well with much less maintainece, and much worse treatment at that.
So if nissan is having trouble matching the standard the market sets, isn't that their own problem? Maybe they should make like dodge and try a more performance oriented approach, since people buying dodges/ other lower to upper end performance tend to have the money to maintain them and are more interested in cars to boot, meaning they'll be more inclined to care for them.

I believe Nissan has finally run out of saviors. As a 45 plus year auto mechanic, I am tired of seeing “Jatco” transmission failures on Nissan vehicles. Additionally, when Renault came onboard in 1999 Nissan quality slowly started to deteriorate. This quality issue accelerated by 2005. Today, Nissan is a mere shadow of the quality auto manufacturer it once was.

@@ScrapKing73 It's all about the batteries and so far their batteries have been sub-par with short lifetimes.

Why don't you take it to them and ask them to do the "oil change" :D
Take it to them for an oil change. That may make them stop calling you.🤣🤣
Yeah it does not need oil replacing. But battery coolant, brake fluids, and certain moving parts need regular maintenance and replacement. You still need to go to service to maintain the car.
My first car, a second hand bluebird, gave me so much trouble when I was a teen, and the scar it left behind prevents me from ever considering another Nissan. Consumer preferences are largely irrational and stubborn, thus long-term quality is vital for a brand, rather than so called cutting edge.
Dropping the CVT can be a good start.
Weird Honda has good luck with cvt but they started later
ehh i just got the manual transmission no need to have an auto and manual in one just go for one or the other.... i purchased a 2020 Nissan Versa S which is the base model of this car and it comes in both standard ( manual ) and the CVT. with the manual being roughly 2k less, but still the reliability goes up by a little with out the automatic transmission with the CVT in there with it.

The graphs at 12:00 and probably even at other places throughout the entire video do not have a fixed scale which is misleading to the average viewer. While this adjusted scale does represent a more drastic scenario and gives a greater apprehension for the situation Nissan was in, it misrepresents data and is liable to be categorised as misleading the populace. (The scale in question starts with 9T at the x-axis with 12T as the highest value when one would ideally start at zero as done in the scale prior to it. It basically suddenly shifts from using a standard scale to a non-standard one and paints a far-reaching picture)

In the late 1960's and early 70's the Datsun 510, Roadster, and Datsun 240Z lead to the success of Datsun in the U.S. market. The Datsun 810 was also introduced in the 1970's. The 810 is the Maxima. The 70's Datsun B210 got 40mpg. I think people would break down dealerships doors today, to buy an inexpensive car that gets 40mpg. 👍🏽
The Datsun name was put on the card so if the cars failed to catch on in the U.S. The Nissan name would be just fine.

@@LowMS3 that’s being a Nissan Sentra. Starting around early 80’s that was their entry level sedan. I had a 82 and 92. My sister had a 87 and no major problems with them minus a valve job. Been over 30 years ago but I suspect timing belt fail. Which for the time was not overly unusual.
Anyone remember Datsun? The predecessor of Nissan and for a year or two they were both names.
Granted I was only early teens at the time but I would walk or bike about 10 miles one way for nothing more than sit in the showroom display vehicles.
A lot of modern technology items were believe it or not already in production, granted very primitive versions but none the less and state of the art for the time period.
In the 80’s US vehicles were regarded as not as well built. Some of the stereotypes still carry on with today’s American manufacturers.
High line premium sedans from Europe were the rage. Remember Asian luxury sedans were of the manufacturer. It wasn’t till late 80’s where Acura, Lexus, Infiniti became independently operational companies concentrating on luxury.....at that time there wasn’t as much of a push for performance in luxury vehicles like today.
I had a 1992 Sentra SE-R. It never failed to put a smile on my face. I bought it over the Honda Prelude. The Prelude was prettier but when it came to driving dynamics, the SE-R won easily. I drove it ten years and loved it.
Sometimes, this ad-line still plays in my head:
“Drive a Datsun, plant a tree”

@whatever iwantittobe 😂😂😂
You're waaaaay past old bud
The picture is clickbait
I was waiting to see the tire burning
Well that actually did happen in Spain I think (correct me if I’m wrong) about a year ago when Nissan told they were closing the factory, so all the workers protested and burned tires outside.

When the company's goal is to occupy a market share where Hyundai/Kia used to be, you know you've hit rock bottom
Hyundai's are extremely reliable. Just had one in the family for 15 years with no breakdowns for the first 14. Another for 7 years no problems at all.
One of my favorite cars was a ‘95 Nissan Altima 5-speed. It had over 200k miles and was still running great on its original factory power train when I switched up to a larger vehicle in ‘08. After all I’ve learned about the quality of their cars and especially the transmission problems, I wouldn’t spend a dime on one.
Damn shame.
Nissan dead or not I still have my skyline
Love from Japan
How's your English so good?
Yeah bet that skyline doesn't have a cvt or svt though 😂😂😂💯
And i still got my 97 Nissan Silvia S14 Kouki. Love my car so much.
Nissan needs to go back to its roots. (Japanese)
Well you should wait until someone saves nissan from renault...
Renault is bloodsucking them

CVT has left the chat 😂
The Juke was w
got back to purely "Made in Japan" cars and watch how fast you rebound.
Jatco cvts were what killed em.
(Ya know, the Japanese Automated Transmission company)
I dont completely agree with your comment. Its not always about where its made, its about reliability. For example, Toyota Tacoma is built in Texas, its a very reliable truck and is getting more popular every year especially as GM is destroying the Silverado brand.
@@chrisp174 gm destroys everything they touch.
I don't agree with that at all, the quality control must be uniformly applied in all countries. The Nissan Juke was made in Jaoan and it was a hopeless piece of garbage.
@@PocketMarmo04 All Jukes sold in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand were built in the UK
The problem is they partnered with the French.🤣
The wouldn't be there if they didn't
I’ve daily driven several French cars over the years and quite frankly they always served me well. Disclaimer: I’m French 😂😉
Renault saved Nissan, so what's your point?
French is the First Country which found the car , the others are follower
@@FabienTeulieres93 without your disclaimer we wudve never known 🙄
I was told a story about Datsun.. when they were meeting about a new name,, the CEO said,, we have 10 minutes to come with a name. A guy yells out Dat-soon (Datsun) and there you have it!
That soon?
@@TUHANbukanorangARAB yes..
@@chriscall3425
Then CVT breaks soon.
DATSUN is not a new brand. We have had Datsun since 1975 in Asia.
Jatco CVT has to go, along with Nissan's silly names for their cars - that doesn't help.
@@Bobspineable In fact, leaked documents from last year showed that the Japanese government wanted the Honda company to merge with Nissan (including Infiniti and Mitsubishi). What a shame that Honda rejected Nissan in favor of GM when Honda could've shown Nissan (and car buyers) how Honda's CVTs are more reliable than JATCOs
The CVT transmission reminds me of everything that makes a golf cart not enjoyable to drive. However driving characteristics of the Nissan CVT are so much better than the Chrysler CVTs. Nissans either do or don't Chrysler's you give throttle wait 2-3 minutes and finally it decides to go before just outright refusing to go at all.
Silly names? Can you please list some?
@@ATH-camChannelwithNoName Here's a few - Qashgai, Juke, Cube, Quest, Kicks, Versa, Versa Note, Cedric ...
Bring the Patrol 4x4 solid axle to the US to compete with Jeep and the Bronco.
Wow CNBC, way to COMPLETELY miss the mark! THE CVT is the main reason why Nissan failed!
Not because people think of them as cheap or low-end. Old Nissan's are ridiculously reliable, but as soon as the CVT came along, people caught on quick.
Nissan, Ghosn but never forgotten!
Lol. Protesters. Gasoline kills the environment then burns a pile of tires... Smh
Dont forget the emails and accusations of Nissan executives planning to set Carlos Ghosn up to get him kicked out.
Amazing how a company that has supposed journalists missed that. The only reason I listened was to see if they were going to give more details. Instead keep making Carlos look like an evil genius.
@@TooFly357 Same here. Tho that being said Carlos directing Nissan to make cheaper and cheaper cars did lead to declined sales. Its not only on him, and the shady practices of Nissan themselves puts me off from them until theres a big overhaul in their management.
because he was a POS
@@chloedegurechaff1941 I don't think it lead to decline in sales. Carlos track record shows that the sales increased on average year after year. The moment they got rid of Ghosn, the very next year they reported loses and the sales declined severely.
@@Douken Yes cause a cheaper car means more people can afford it, or justify the poor financial decision. Once people realized they were junk sales quickly fell. not even desperate people want that trash.
The Juke was where they lost their way...
oh, and having CVT’s. 🤮
No it started with the murano in 2003 that was the first cvt and the 2.5 and 3.5 engines wasnt that good the maximas started having trans problems in 2004 they didnt even have cvt trans at that time only the murano in 2003
When the Juke came out, I called it the Joke. Couldn't believe the design.
Juke, the horrible design. I really don't understand it. It is like a smashed frog!
@@adbyrd29 Actually it was 2002 electrical systems in some vehicles the like Sentra and newly styled Altima. I had the misfortune of owning the latter and it was a roll of the dice to see if my car(new) would leave me at a store or stuck at home...wherever. No one found nothing wrong with these vehicles. But there sure were a bumper crop of recalls on these cars.
Take a NISMO Juke for a ride and you may change your tune.
Nissan is finally headed in the right direction:
New Sentra and Rogue are very good. Just need a powertrain upgrade
Revised Frontier, Armada and Pathfinder are also solid, if not inspired efforts
400Z should help get the brand some shine. I don't think Infiniti is gonna make it, however.
Nissan is like a straight A student who start smoking weed
So the student got smarter?
Nissan think like white people, how to make something that was good into something worse.
@@thegoat3313 no, they became lazy ass bums..
@@KenWang2 simmer down mr miyagi
@@thegoat3313 🤣smarter?!
I have owned several Nissan products and they are not built like the older one’s I can say that for sure.
Very true. The only good product they have anymore is the Frontier pickup - as long as the don't put a CVT in there too!
@@mickalgabler6198 its outdated and still have the unreliable 4.0 that is over 15 years old
Yeah, my uncle had a 1990’s Nissan van and it had over 300k miles on it. Now my day has a 2014 Nissan Altima and it’s been having problems since day one.
I never realized people considered Nissan cheap. I owned a 2013 Altima and I've never had a problem with it. It was great.
The majority of people have no clue about cars whatsoever.
They're the types of people that cold start a car and are already driving off before the rpms even drop back down after ignition. Then they complain their car breaks.
@ThePatUltra do you always talk out of your ass?
@God First or it’s just really trash period lol . Quality has been subpar ever since their merger with Renault
@God First if they weren’t built to last coming off the production line how do expect routine maintenance to fix fundamental issues with the cars?
@@enigmaPLyou have to warm up your motor no matter.
I bought a 2012 altima. At 80k miles the transmission started messing up.
16 minute video and didn’t touch on why Nissan is doing so bad. Reliability! Those CVT and cheap electronics are the reason why. Bought a Nissan and 4/10 it wouldn’t start with less than 5000 miles on it. The brake push to start would fail. Took it 4 times in less than a year until I returned because it was a lemon. It would false sense something in front of the car in the freeway and would brake. Very dangerous! Those car won’t outlast the loan and still would have to pay dealer repairs after the warranty is over. Believe me. I know cars the best cars like you never seen.
I have a Nissan X trail made in Japan with 200,000km XTRONIC transmission and without any problem, all maintenance every 20000km or every 2 years I change the NS3, the car is very good!
According to the Iranians, Nissan has a self destruct mode!!
could help with the overpopulation problem we have now a days. you know they are not that bad, about that thing that when the cvt fails and ussually it does at high speeds and it locks the tires and you lose complete control of the car, well yeah it can help with overpopulation.
@@Ag89q43G0HyA ah yes. natural selection
That’s a side effect of hiring Dr. Heinz Doofenschmirtz.
BEHOLD! THE CVT-INATOR!
Come to think of it, this is a perfect explanation for the CVT tendency to self destruct...
Agree
My first car was a Nissan 240. Loved that car. I saw one on the road the other day. Even my teenage son thought it looked cool.
they honestly just need to produce electric cars, sporty and good looking suvs aswell as the iconic sportscars that we love.

Nissan is like BlackBerry - they kept the same design for many years while other brands moved up and moved on..... this is why they are still where they are... Infinity was good in its early days but they kept that same design for many years..... The 2003 M45 has the same friggin interior as the 2020 QX60... I mean WTF
Its just the cvt that's the problem. Also those interiors arent even close. What m45 have you been driving lol
Budget is always at the root of the issue. Inifinity cars are falling off the upper class podium because of it. There's a refresh incoming and the 400z is just the tip of the ice berg. They're redoing all the cars.
@@eurosonly and this guy is going for the 400z day one 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
@@sounddrivenofficial The 2020 QX60 & the 2003 M45 mas the same fkin design language... Stop living in the past... Move on & MOVE UP!
@@indevibe the only thing similar is the screen placement. Everything else is different. If you haven't noticed all the other luxury brands barely change anything either especially mercedes and lexus
I have infiniti g37s, this thing is bullet proof. Engine is amazing and with this manual transmission I haven't had any problems. Sounds and feels amazing.
How is the maintenance on your g37?
@@samadgriffin6853 every 4000-5000 miles oil change that's about it. Nothing to fix and performs great since day one.
You got any performance parts on it? If so how has that affected its reliability?
@@samadgriffin6853 the VHR is a great engine can even handle a good amount of boost with a turbo. They are pretty turbo friendly. The manual transmission is bulletproof and can take 1000whp.
@@ThatBustedVQ This seriously hurt my head. Yes the VQ37 is fairly boost friendly (VQs respond better to superchargers), the manual transmission itself does not handle that much horsepower. Don’t go sticking a 1K HP engine onto it, you will send gear shrapnel everywhere from the casing to the bell housing.
I own a 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X with over 75,000 miles. Only two minor warranty issues since I've had it. Just drove it on a 4,100 mile round trip from Vegas to Indiana. Blasted through a snowstorm on I-70 in the Rockies (semi trucks were required to pull over and install chains on their tires). Bulletproof and a vastly better value than a Toyota 4Runner.
I also own a 2017 Nissan 370Z 6MT with over 30,000 miles. Zero issues so far. Made in Japan with one of the best V6 engines you can get. 362 horsepower with no turbos. Neither has a CVT.
