Problem overview

Some Nissan Quest owners report experiencing transmission failure issues, including lurching, jerking, and acceleration problems. Specifically, 2014 Nissan Quest owners have noted cases of transmission failure, with an average repair cost of $4,480 occurring around 86,650 miles. For those whose transmissions have failed repeatedly or required multiple repairs, there may be potential for compensation regarding repair or replacement costs, as well as diminished resale value. The costs for fixing transmission issues can vary significantly, with expenses ranging from installing a known working CVT from a lower mileage donor car to having a remanufactured unit installed by a dealer, which can range from $4,000 to $6,000 depending on the location. Additionally, some owners have found that external factors, such as dented pans, can exacerbate transmission issues by causing fluid starvation for the pump. In light of these challenges, it may be advisable for owners to seek further assistance or explore options for compensation.
