My Wife has a 2002 1.8t CVT and she babies the car, everything works fine. I hear "stories", true or myth, that the CVT transmissions are prone to early failure, and the repair bill is high (yea, I know how much, but don't wanna type that $$ figure or I won't be able to sleep tonight!)
Our car will go out of warranty in 4k miles or a few months.

Any guys/gals have miles on their CVT and can share their experiences?

Thanks in advance!

he was decently modded so that just added a strain to the car.

Me only 18K miles.

my wife's "new" '03 CVT has 66k on it, no trans.-related problems

The service advisor told me that the module cost quite a bit- I want to say that out of warranty expense would have been $1,100.

But there have been no mechanical problems. I spoke with a different service advisor at a different dealership- he told me that he hadn't seen many cases of CVT problems.

repair bill for dealer was $13k including parts and labor. Let's just say that I would not own this car if it didn't have a warranty. Buy an extended warranty if you can.

...but they "forgot" to replace the oil at the 40K service. We're "negotiating".

2004 30K super normal.

How did that happen ?

It never happened again and it works perfectly normal now... I don't exactly drive my car like its made of glass either. I tend to rag on it several times a day.
