Nissan extended warranty for CVT

[estrada_ed]

I was just at the Nissan dealer today for an oil change and to notify them of an oil comsumption problem (1/2 Qt in approx 2K miles) and I was surprised by two things.First, they had NO idea of the two active recalls for TPMS nuts and steering screw issues. When I asked forcefully, the advisor printed a "Service Comm" three page document I guess from Nissan records with all my pertinent info: VIN, in-servide date, Gold preferred agreement, etc. One section was for recall campaings, which showed NONE. But the part that caught me off-guard was the page that showed applicable warranties. It listed all the warranties and expiration date/miles: Basic, Powertrain, seat belts, emissions, etc. and it also listed CVT warranty extension thru 2018 and 120K miles!Is anybody aware of this extension? And, is this Nissan' response to the noise issues on 2008/2009 AWD like mine?

I had a 2001 Honda Odyssey in which Honda also extended the warranty on the transmisson due to early failures. I wonder if it is the same here?

I think you would be the best source of info on this one, since you got the documentation so you should ask your service manager to explain the details....let us know.

Actually, neither recall is an active recall as of yet. Dealers will be notified in November. So it stands to reason that your dealer didn't know about them yet.

Robf70837: My post was not about the recalls; it was about the "hidden" warranty Nissan has on the CVT.

As for your comment, it is not 100% correct. The recall on the TPMS is almost a month old, some people reported it as early as Oct 10 and from another post"Remedy: The dealer will replace the TPMS nut with a new, more robust nut. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on or before November 9, 2009. "

Before Nov 9 its NOW!

estrada, if you could ask your service department how or why you got this extended warranty, it would be appreciated. I'm sure all owners do not have this. Perhaps they worked an extended warranty into your purchase agreement and you didn't know about it, or maybe it's a mistake.

kerrton, I will not be going back to dealer until the Rogue reaches 1K miles (approx. 4 - 6 weeks) as they are doing an oil consumption test. But I will ask then if the CVT warranty extension is for all 2008 and/or 2009 Rogue's whether FWD and/or AWD.

I just read in two different sources that on Oct. 30th Nissan announced that ALL Nissan CVT's would be given an extended warranty of 10 years or 120,000 miles. I can't seem to find any references to the exact source, but this sounds like great news for Nissan owner peace of mind, and shows the confidence that Nissan has in the CVT reliability and durability, and also in placing a priority on customer satisfaction.

If anyone can find the exact press release please post it up!!
