GM has been crucified time and again for bad designs.
And they have also been praised for great designs.
Quite a few people have suffered from the chevy built V-6 engines (2.8, 3.1, 3.4, etc) who have an uncontrolled desire to have coolant leaks into the intake system. Still do it to this day. How long has the engine been used for now?
Nissan isn’t a saint in comparison.
The CVT is something new, and lots of people don’t trust new things.
Doesn’t mean that its a bad thing.
And I have yet to see an actual case where the transmission actually failed to the point that the car couldn’t be driven. Doesn’t mean that it has never happened, but I haven’t seen it reported yet.
So far, just people getting the transmissions replaced under warranty for noise complaints.
