The American publication Consumer Reports, which specializes in independent tests of consumer goods, has compiled a list of ten models with the most problematic automatic transmissions. The list is formed on the basis of feedback from owners of cars sold since 2010 in the United States.
- Six models of the rating belong to Nissan. Many Americans have encountered CVT malfunctions on cars manufactured in 2012-2016. Due to the appearance of strong jerks when driving, continuously variable transmissions were often changed under warranty, and one Nissan owner, who managed to drive 284,000 kilometers without breakdowns, had to pay $ 4,000 (273,000 rubles) to repair the variator himself.
- At the same time, the list of capricious "automatic machines" is headed by the third generation Ford Focus, and most of all problems arose on the cars of 2012-2015 years of production. Malfunctions of a different nature arise even after a mileage of 48 thousand kilometers.
Full rating of models with the most unreliable automatic transmissions:
| Model | Mileage before repair, km |
|---|---|
| Ford Focus 2012-2015 | 48 000–130 000 |
| Nissan Pathfinder 2013-2015 | 80 000–121 000 |
| Nissan Note 2013-2016 | 89 000–104 000 |
| Infiniti QX60 2013-2015 | 90 000–132 000 |
| Nissan Maxim 2012-2015 | 106 000–150 000 |
| Nissan Sentr 2013-2014 | 109 000–164 000 |
| 2010 Chevrolet Equinox / GMC Terrain | 135 000–191 000 |
| 2012 Nissan Rogue | 151 000–186 000 |
| GMC Acadi 2010 | 156 000–235 000 |
| 2010 Jeep Wrangler | 157 000–224 000 |
Earlier, Consumer Reports named the top ten cars with the most capricious engines. In this rating, the first place was taken by the Audi A4 of 2009–2010 with a two-liter gasoline turbo engine, which requires overhaul with a mileage of 172–246 thousand kilometers.
