CVT ... is this a reliable design?

#1

I'm looking at a Nissan Murano and never heard of CVT....is this a good,
reliable technology (design)?

Does it hold up over time?

Any horror stories?

Thanks in advance.

Interesting. That's the 'thing' that concerns me.

Under what conditions were these 15 Muranos driven to need replacement of
the CVT in such a short period of time?

And at what cost ($)?

Consumer Reports indicate "much better than average" reliability for this
vehicle from their surveys, with no trend toward transmission problems.
