Whining sound
Dec7f:
Hi..
Anyone encountered whining sounds when car drove for awhile then stop gear in "D" (Ex alight pax/ red light) but when put to neutral, continue driving, sound's gone..
What's the pro?
Is the gear box or coupling gone? :confused1:

I recently have this issue in my Latio Premium 1.5 CVT. Sent my car to Tan Chong to check and they told me it's a gearbox bearing issue. Since my car is a 2009 car, the warranty is expired. So they proposed me to change the gearbox entirely and it would cost a bomb ($10k +). I didn't take the offer, and still researching on the gearbox issue. Seems like it's a common issue with CVT gearbox.
My gearbox is still fine and the whining sound is still soft not to affect the ride. The Tan Chong guy said that it can still last for another year until then I can always choose to repair it or replace it.
KIV for now.

Does the sound go off when the air-con is switched off?
You could switch off the radio, and air-con, and listen out for the sound.

I think we should write a petition to TCM & Nissan for the reliability of the CVT gearbox. So many owners facing potential gearbox failure after 3yrs warranty...in the US, Nissan warrantied the CVT gearbox for 10yrs.....

The sound will be much noticeable when radio and air-on is switched offf. That's how I tested with TCM the other day. And the sound only comes out when the car is moving. That's how TCM confirmed that it's a gearbox bearing issue.
Honestly, for a car that only runs about 50K in 4 years, I'm feeling quite bitter about the reliability of the CVT gearbox.

I think we should do a petition, many bros here have similar issue and had to pay such a big sum of money to fix a substandard nissan product. This is not right.
