Is the failure rate of the Teana transmission very high?
2 Answers
The Teana transmission has issues such as oil leakage and inability to accelerate, with a high failure rate. Below is relevant information about the Teana: Design Philosophy: Simple yet not simplistic, comfortable yet not ostentatious, attention to detail without being overly elaborate—these elements are increasingly applied in home design and also define the Teana's unique and tasteful style. Powertrain: The 2021 Teana offers a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0T turbocharged engine, paired with the new intelligent XTRONIC CVT continuously variable transmission, which provides a gear range equivalent to an 8AT. The 2.0T model is equipped with the VC-TURBO variable compression ratio turbocharged engine, which enables intelligent and seamless switching of the engine compression ratio between 8:1 (high performance) and 14:1 (high efficiency).
I've been driving the Teana for five years, and transmission issues are frequently discussed in our car owner groups. The problems mainly occur in older CVT models from 2010 to 2015, with common symptoms like gear shifting jerks or excessive noise. This is largely related to driving habits – aggressive driving or irregular maintenance leading to dirty transmission fluid can easily cause issues. However, the post-2020 models have seen significant improvements with reduced failure rates. Regular transmission fluid changes are crucial – the manufacturer recommends inspection every 40,000 km, and DIY maintenance can save some money. Overall, there's no need for excessive worry as the failure rate remains low with proper usage.
