I took my 2006 Murano to a transmission shop to change fluid. Before the shop changed fluid, he hooked up his diagnostic computer to my car and received a trouble code P0868. He said this is a death sentence for CVT transmission but there is a service bulletin and procedure about this. The procedure replaces the "valve body" located inside the transmission and does not require to remove the transmission. He said it would costs about $1800 to replace including $1000 valve body and labor.
I remember the CVT has 10 year warranty so I took my car to the dealer and they confirmed what the transmission shop said. They took care of everything for free. My CVT warranty expires in 5 months!!!!
So if your car is less than 10 years old, have your mechanic check for any trouble codes NOW before the 10 year warranty expires or you will end up spending almost $2K for repairs.
I never noticed any problems with my CVT and it only has 60K miles. The Service Bulletion said:
"A lack of power when accelerating from a standing start with DTC P0868".
