CVT Failure at 90,000 miles
Well it is Mother's Day. I was driving down the road and bingo the transmission failed. I started slowing down even as I was trying to Accelerate. Stopped on side of the highway and the tranny would do nothing. No drive and no reverse. Would do nothing including increase the RPM's. Everything else works fine. Had it towed to the dealer. I am pretty upset and realize that even the resell value of the Mo is not that great even with the higher mileage I would have expected better resale value. Up to this point I would have bought another Mo. But, I am no longer sure that the CVT is worth the hassle. Maybe it is time to look at the Acura MDX. Sorry to report this problem but maybe it is a warning to all that the CVT may not make it the long haul.
I have had very good luck up until now.
