These Vehicle Models Are Sadly Known for Having Transmission Issues That No One Wants
A good car is one that excels in all departments, including the transmission. Unfortunately, though, many cars struggle with transmission issues. Not only can this be a pricey fix, but it also drastically lowers the overall feel and enjoyment of driving that vehicle. Let’s take a closer look at 10 models with major transmission problems.
Chevrolet Traverse
The 2013 model of the Chevrolet Traverse featured an outdated transmission that has not held up well over time. On average, it only lasted between 175,000 km and 225,000 km, which is nothing compared to other models.
Nissan Altima
Most people can only get between 65,000 km and 125,000 km out of their Nissan Altima, which is pretty dismal. While the Altima is a great-looking car, it simply isn’t very long-lasting or durable. The Toyota Camry, on the other hand, is similar in build and design, but has a much better transmission.
Nissan Rogue
To say that the 2013 Nissan Rogue left a lot to be desired in the transmission department would be an understatement. With an average mileage of 150,000 km to 240,000 km, the Rogue often requires frequent (and pricey) repairs.
Infiniti QX80
If you bought an Infiniti QX80, you shouldn’t expect to get more than 150,000 km out of it. While the car looked and felt great, it simply didn’t offer the longevity that most people look for in a car. As a result, it was outshone by similar models with a better transmission, such as the Lexus RX.
Ford Fiesta
Between 2011 and 2014, the Ford Fiesta range simply wasn’t very good. Even though these cars could reach up to 235,000 km in mileage, the transmission often required pricey repairs. The Honda Fit and Hyundai Accent were much more reliable options.
Nissan Murano
The 2013 model of the Nissan Murano could only reach 190,000 km in mileage, which wasn’t very impressive. The car also required frequent repairs, leaving buyers incredibly frustrated.
Kia Forte
Even though the Kia Forte was only released in 2019, many buyers only got between 20,000 km and 40,000 km out of the car! Obviously, this left them outraged, as the car wasn’t exactly cheap in the first place.
Ford Focus
The Ford Focus has definitely had its fair share of issues over the years. Models released between 2012 and 2017 were particularly problematic in the transmission department.
Nissan Pathfinder
Nissan has released a fair few cars that have struggled with problematic transmissions. The Pathfinder was no different, as many buyers couldn’t get more than 90,000 km out of the car. Repairs were also incredibly pricey, which caused a lot of frustration.
Nissan Sentra
The Nissan Sentra was yet another Nissan model that failed to impress. If you invested in one of these, get ready to become best friends with your local repair guy, as the car will inevitably give you repeated problems.
