Are there many transmission failures in the 2017 Nissan X-Trail?

Not many. The high transmission failure rate in the X-Trail is an isolated phenomenon, and the overall rate is relatively low. The transmission model of the Nissan X-Trail is the XTRONIC-CVT (code-named CVT8). Transmission slipping: While driving, if you hear the engine revving without load when accelerating, but the vehicle does not noticeably speed up or lacks acceleration power; or if there is a lack of power when climbing hills, the engine RPM rises without reason while driving on flat roads is normal, attention is needed. This may be caused by the hydraulic oil level being too high, generating a large amount of foam when violently stirred by the planetary gear set at high RPM, or wear or burning of the clutch or brake friction plates and bands. Transmission oil leakage: You may clearly feel that the vehicle struggles to start, and although the RPM increases when you press the accelerator while driving, there is no noticeable sense of acceleration. This may be due to oil leakage. Oil leakage can lead to insufficient internal lubrication of the transmission, causing the transmission to malfunction.
