[drivetrain issue] Front driver's side axle and boot replaced
48000 mi
US $200
After heavy acceleration and occasionally at other times, car lost power. Drained/filled CVT fluid which corrected the problem. It really seems to need a complete fluid exchange but that was not an option for this car so I'm expecting to have to do this again. Dealer said the fluid should last to 100,000 miles but obviously time plays a role too.
Boot torn and leaking. Right front axel had to be replaced, costing over $1000 at the dealer.

Sold to dealer mechanic after manual transmission failed. He said the repair was a tough one and he also said the failure was a build problem not a user error. At 44k my clutch went out and Nissan paid the tab. (They refused to help at all this time.)
