@Npars01@mstdn.social @baardhaveland@snabelen.no @cvwarren@m.ai6yr.org @obucate@bildung.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr I have a 2019 Kicks with one of those CVTs, it had the shudder on takeoff since I bought it, it's important to note to change your transmission fluid on schedule if not more often.

@Npars01@mstdn.social @baardhaveland@snabelen.no @cvwarren@m.ai6yr.org @obucate@bildung.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr The fan control module rusted out so in summer the fan kept running with the engine off until the battery died. Nissan's fix was to replace the entire rad ($1200) and if they had to disconnect the AC, an extra $250. Plus $170 "diagnostic" charge. I bought the part online for $50 and had my mechanic replace it for $50 so I saved $1520. But I'm not sure Nissan has the monopoly of this kind of enshittification.
