Nissan factory warranty for CVT replacement

checked tires & brake area, could not find the source of noise....rubbing sound that makes noise according to tire rotation speed
My clutch went out at 13000 miles. Nissan has issued a memorandum about the issue to cover up the problem. They blamed me. A Nissan Master tech came and rode with me and said how great I drive a stick.
1 of the sensors went out causing the car to not go.Part was ordered & car repaired, but tech said Check Engine Light kept coming on & could be a sign of transmission problem. Traded car in.

Transmission was extremely jerky. Also fluctuated up and down in RPMs when driving down hill. Mechanic noticed a lot of play and dealer replaced transmission at 50,000 miles.
Transmission had given a small amount of slip once or twice, but when it goes you know. Uncontolled rpms with lunging motions during any form of acceleration. The dealer diagnosed and provided my options of a used cvt for 3200 or new 4000. So obviously the new cvt. Completed work came to nearly 5k.

CVT complete failure while driving. Car had to be towed. Dealer reports that the transmission fluid got too hot and melted the bearings. Nissan replaced the transmission with a rebuild eating 90% of the cost. The car was out 2k miles out of warranty. Our SN was not covered by the models that had their warranty extended in previous settlements.
Transmission started slipping when increasing speed with cruise control. Engine RPM would rapidly jump up 300-400 RPM and then the slipping would stop and RPM would slowly go back down. MPG also dropped by 5 MPG. No codes showed up on the Nissan Consult code reader, but I had them to replace the CVT fluid and the problem has gone away for now. My fingers are crossed as this is usually a precursor in the Nissan CVT transmission failure.
Front seal leaking (discovered at oil change elsewhere). Replaced torque converter as well as seal under factory warranty. Blamed on factory "quality control". I am happy with new trans at 15k. Had heard high-pitched whine now gone.
NSB performed for clicking noise while coasting 20 to 40 MPH and a groan while turning right from a stop. CV joints were removed and greased. Wheel bolt was loose and work seems to have fixed the problem. Groan fixed, still slight clicking.

Replaced CVT transmission under 10y/100k warranty. Car was having issue with reverse/fwd intermittent. Had to 'prove it' to dealer before they took it in for warranty. It took several times to convince. Once they saw it,they agreed to fix.

transmission not operating properly, speedo dropped to 0 MPH and transmission locked into limp mode. turned car off and tranny reset itself. dealer said car was fine, nothing wrong.
Transmission doesn't allow shifting out of park or between gears that require the shift knob be fully depressed. The knob does not depress and there is resistance. Putting a screwdriver in the shift lock overrides the problem but becomes annoying.
Full transmission replacement following a clutch failure. Possibly linked to accident, however could be manufacturer defect based on my personal research into the matter. There have been several cases reported of this same thing happening.
The CV boot was replaced at 68,000 miles. This was the second time in 4 months that boot was replaced. The first time was out of pocket, this time was parted out.

Transmission failure,r and r transmission under warranty Axle seal on lf leaking CVT fluid axle seal replaced.
A pushrod that connects the clutch pedal to the clutch slave cylinder snapped. Entire slave cyl. had to be replaced- the pushrod can't be bought separately. As the pushrod is made of plastic, technician noted, "will inevitably fail again."
27900 mi
A clamp gave way inside the manual transmission, making the clutch jerky and difficult to use. Once the clamp was replaced, the clutch returned to working normally.
The engine RPMs started going so low on deceleration that it would stall. Had it in to the dealer many many times, but even after replacing the entire transmission, they could never figure out what was wrong.
The transmission failed. while symptoms were present over the last year, no codes were thrown and problem not reproduced. Finally symptoms were closer together and threw codes. Replaced under warranty.

Transmission leaking. Not covered by extended CVT warranty.

Car would accelerate very slowly and CVT would need to be revved to 5000 rpm to get the car to move.
Transmission randomly shifts into a null gear, or when shifted into Reverse, it selects 1st instead. Due to the dangerous nature of this problem, and the lack of support from the dealership on the other issues, I decided to trade the car.
