My Armada has the sнittiest gas mileage of any vehicle I’ve ever owned (including my 1988 Silverado). Other than that, it’s been a great vehicle.
Nissan Buyout Packages coming…
- Thread starter Maroon Eagle
- Start date
Just 2 of the reasons I have no sympathy for Nissan. Or GM for that matter. Ford is a close 3rd on BS component outsourcing.
Nissan CVT’s are confirmed garbage and have been since the start. Put it in everything from the Versa to Patfinders. Huge mistake. They kept them anyway. Reliability issues and re-sale values finally caught up to them on the new car sales. Suck it. You deserve it.
For anyone who says CVT transmissions are like that across the board, Honda outsourced some good ones with few issues.
The Titan XL was a very interesting concept that I even considered, albeit, briefly. Should have been named the “Nissan Minotaur”. It’s essentially a unique creature from Greek mythology that’s an “almost HD” truck (with an engine built by a legendary brand like Cummins) but turned out to be an absolute albatross that is unreliable and in some cases, impossible to fix. No parts to fix certain issues. Lawsuits. When it became clear that the entire drivetrain is a “one off” custom built for ONE application that is a nightmare if problems arise, people fled. Again, suck it Nissan. Tis the bed you made.
When Nissan was taken over by Renault, it marked the downward spiral. 70's and 80's Toyota and Nissan were on a par with Honda. Now its just Toyota and distantly Honda. Nissan moved down market and quality and reliability went that way too.Slashing Altima production at Canton specifically mentioned…

Ford had that issue too on a Freestyle SUV my wife had for awhile. They got that CVT transmission in the Volvo purchase and there was a huge class action suit. Ours sat rotting in the inlaws pasture for about 4-5 years with no progress on the suit. Ford wanted me to pay $8,000 for a new transmission in a 3 year old vehicle (same exact tranny mind you that was just going to have the same issue eventually) I said 17 it and got a scrapper to haul it away eventually, don't what ever became of the class action
Blowing a tranny has a different meaning in 2025.
My bad, I thought the $8000 part would eliminate that kind of tranny but maybe not, I don't run in those circles and get out like I used to
I was just saying it was cheap and easy. The warranty part is BS. I would have asked to see the fine print at that point that says the blower was specifically excluded. I can’t really fault Nissan for my experience with them. They put a brand new engine in my xterra under a power train claim. My total bill was 38 bucks for a new engine. That was for the oil change. I started to raise hell about that because the oil they were supposed to change was in the engine they took out. After a few brief seconds of contemplation I just paid and got out of there before they changed their minds. Might have something to do with me seeing the bill for the engine and labor that got sent to Nissan
The Datsuns were garbage, but to be fair so was the Vega and many other domestic vehicles from that era. The Cimarron was a disaster.
