J11 CVT jerking and occasional squealing at low speed!
Posted: Sat Jun 25, 2022 11:38 am
I have a 2016 Qashqai Tekna 1.2 petrol with a CVT box. Only done 35k. Purchased 3 years ago, with only 21k on the clock. In the last 6 months I have experienced the occasional judder at low speed, when accelerating from just above a standstill. Also once or twice I have heard a squealing sound on gradual acceleration from slow speed. The car is fine on the move and doesn't give any problems then. Anyone got any clues what might be the problem. I have read so many horror stories about the Nissan CVT, I'm getting scared to take it to our local Nissan dealer! I have only used them twice when I had Renaults (both times they screwed up the mpg on a Laguna and a Scenic!! The Laguna went from 35mpg to 28mpg and the Scenic went from 40mpg to 25mpg!!) and once for a rear door lock recall on the Qashqai last year when somehow they managed to get the RH side mirror indicator repeater to stop working!
