Interesting they are just flat out replacing. Good for you but no attempt to even figure out what it was.

 

That what I thought. I’m thinking that it’s quicker for them to replace than repair.

that’s what I thought. I’m thinking replacing is quicker than taking it apart. Service rep told me there are about 30 vehicles that need trans work.

 

Wait I thought only the AWD models came in a 9 speed automatic?
Your tranny should not be a CVT they can’t give you that excuse

He has a FWD Activ with the CVT.

 

I had a 2021 AWD and the transmission went out at 19,000 miles..same issues to begin with. Then I started having issues with warning lights and the dealership said that it was anything from a software update to having to pull the steering column and replace it. I promptly asked how much I could get on a trade in and I bought a Blazer.

 

Your trans was also making noise before it went out?

The CVT is and has been a big problem for years.
Consist variable transmission are good for 60k you'll be replacing it. Consist wear parts inside. There's a belt or chain that has about 60k life. If that.

 

I have only seen the actives with 9 speed auto that only have AWD never seen an Active FWD. either way CVT does not shift.
so you won’t feel shifts.

I would like to agree with you. And maybe GM is only good for 60k, but I had a Nissan Altima with the CVT and ran it up to 210k miles before selling it to a friend, who is still driving it. The problem with the CVT, is people take them to a non dealership garage and they just throw any old CVT fluid in them. Highly recommend taking any CVT vehicle to it's assigned dealership. Thanks y'all.

 

It was making noise and shifting rough..very rough.

 

I think Chevy needs to have some recalls if so many people are having problems with same issue then a recall on those parts need to be out in place! 🤦🏽‍♀️🙏🏽

 

I am really sorry for what you’re going through. Wishing your problems get resolved quickly.

NHTSA issues vehicle safety standards and requires manufacturers to recall vehicles and equipment that have safety-related defects. A recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. Most decisions to conduct a recall and remedy a safety defect are made voluntarily by manufacturers prior to any involvement by NHTSA.

I am certainly not an expert but to me at this point this sounds more like an inferior product than a safety risk. In any event manufacturers should offer a proper remedy to you.

I think the lemon law is the best course of action. Again best wishes.

Like that will ever happen..

 

How many miles on it?

 

61k

 

Yeah when my 23 hits 36k or 3 years it’s getting traded in

 

Nissan is know to have the worst CVT on the market, so not surprised there.

 

I am going to buy a TB RS in the next week and made sure I would NOT get a CVT. Having been in the transmission industry for many years. I can tell you the CVT has NEVER been a great idea. Women LOVE them and they are cheaper to build now is why they keep coming. They are flat out disposable. The last few I worked on you could not even get parts for just units. CVT has also had more Class action law suits then even the A604! I would NEVER knowingly buy a car with one. Once it is dead the car is seriously worth NOTHING. Ask any old Saturn Vue owner

 

That's why I went with the AWD. Only way to get the 9sp transmission.

 

Not to mention Nissan turned theirs into a ten speed. same trans just different programing. I noticed when I drove a CVT 2023 TB Saturday they assign 7 gears on the shifter and at WOT they have it act like it shifts

 

My TB sat at dealership about two months waiting for the back ordered transmission. I was notified that the trans finally arrived and waited another two weeks for them to install it. It was eligible for a gm buy back but luckily the local Subaru dealer gave me what gm was offering as a trade. My new Subaru Crosstrek sport is amazing.

I’m doing a transmission fluid change on a 2021 Trailblazer Rs with CVT but can not find out the fluid capacity. Been told by different dealerships 5-6 quarts and the second dealership told me 10 quarts. Little confused
