Once upon a time, the CVT gearbox with good economy, power and driving smoothness for the reputation of a lot of fans, for a time, many people put the CVT gearbox on the sky. However, due to the special structure, the load-bearing problem of the CVT gearbox has gradually exposed more quality problems, and Dongfeng Nissan is a car company that is deeply troubled by the "CVT gearbox". Remember that at the CCTV 315 gala last year, CCTV exposed the CVT gearbox problem of Nissan's Infiniti QX60, but now it seems that the quality complaints of Nissan's CVT gearbox have not eased the trend, but have intensified.
In the domestic professional car complaint platform car complaint network and other types of automobile complaint website, there are countless complaints about the Dongfeng Nissan CVT gearbox, the general problems are basically concentrated in the transmission abnormal sound, gearbox setback, transmission failure lights, etc., such complaints are also among the top of the list of various types of complaints, some car owners even encounter the phenomenon of stalling without warning during driving, which has seriously affected the personal safety of drivers and occupants. In the Product Quality Law, it is clearly stipulated that all products that endanger the safety of people and the lives and property of others can be defined as defective products, but for such defects, Nissan has not recalled the CVT gearbox for a long time.
Some industry experts have analyzed that Nissan's earliest CVT gearbox does have certain advantages, but under the leadership of Ghosn, Nissan continues to reduce costs in exchange for profits, and the steel belt used in its CVT gearbox is also the cheapest steel belt in Bosch, so that the durability is not as good as before, long-term use or after withstanding large torque, the steel belt will produce a large amount of iron powder, resulting in the transmission setback, abnormal sound, and even stall.
It is understood that overseas, Nissan has been claimed $270 million for the quality of the CVT transmission, but what about in China? For the common phenomenon that already exists in the industry, Dongfeng Nissan does not think so, and we can also see on a car complaint platform that Dongfeng Nissan's reply to the CVT transmission problem complained by the owner is "Dongfeng Nissan relevant departments have made a qualitative judgment that there is no safety hazard." But then Dongfeng Nissan explained, "Since April 2009, the supplier has made a transmission parts improvement response; for existing vehicles, a solution is being developed, and there will be a clear solution; and the owner of the car who has an abnormal noise can call the customer service." ”
One moment saying "there is no safety hazard", the other saying "transmission parts have been improved", and finally saying "a solution is being developed", such a contradictory reply makes people wonder. CVT transmission quality problems are originally a common problem, many owners in the warranty period on the transmission quality problems, but has been repaired to the warranty period outside the warranty period can not be solved, after the warranty period of the owner also cost a high maintenance costs, overhaul of the gearbox is often more than 10,000, "the producer's fault but consumers to pay", which has violated the principle of fair trade.
The annual CCTV 315 party has been officially broadcast, before that, The car detective in the "Detective 315 丨 Overlord clause / markup / false publicity, etc. or CCTV 315 focus" article said that the theme of this year's CCTV 315 evening party is "fair trade", then involved in violation of fair trade are the focus of CCTV attention, although Dongfeng Nissan was not on the list in the end, but the problems exposed can not be ignored, we will continue to pay attention.
Once Dongfeng Nissan dared to call itself "Technical Nissan", part of the reason is that it has CVT transmission technology, but now Nissan's CVT transmission is not only unable to stand at the forefront of technology, but even has become a professional household with frequent quality problems, and the title of "Technical Nissan" is naturally greatly discounted.
For today's Nissan, the label of "technology" has become farther and farther away from them, and at a time when all mainstream car companies have vigorously developed new energy products, Nissan's e-POWER is late, and it is essentially a range extender electric, which is not a high-tech product in the industry. What is even more bizarre is that the so-called "latest high-tech product" developed by Nissan for tens of billions of dollars is actually a three-cylinder engine that is "scolded by everyone", and such a "technical Nissan" is even a bit ridiculous.
