Hi
My daughter has a 2017 Lancer with 85,000 KM on it. The CVT went out on it. The dealer, after much delay, got the Ok to replace it under warranty. We weren't the first owner and it hadn't been serviced - at least no records. Thank god for the warranty as a new one, just the tranny, is $15,000 Canadian to buy. It will have a 1 year replacement part warranty.
I’ve read that this CVT which Nissan and Mitsubishi has used had issues and doesn’t seem to last long. There are even some class action law suites.
Will a "brand new" one be any better than what was in it? Have they made changes to this CVT or did they just stop using it? How could I tell if it is new or just old stock?
Would you dump the car and get something else? In all other respects it’s a decent car as far as I can tell, but if I can’t trust the tranny…
Thanks for the help.
