Why does the old Teana sometimes fail to engage gear?
2 Answers
Old Teana sometimes fails to engage gear because the steering wheel is not straightened. Below is relevant information about the 2021 Nissan Teana: 1. Introduction: As Dongfeng Nissan's strategic flagship model in the mid-to-high-end car market, the new Teana is Dongfeng Nissan's opening masterpiece as the company enters a new decade of development, and it is also the first all-new generation model officially launched in the domestic mid-to-high-end car market after the 2013 Spring Festival. 2. Development Concept: Based on the "new generation of strength" demand for luxurious driving experience and healthy quality life, Nissan has deeply observed the consumption trends and tendencies in the mid-to-high-end car market, adhering to the development concept of "NEODNA New Generation Luxury".
As an owner of an old Teana, I've been driving it for seven or eight years and recently encountered gear-shifting issues. Sometimes after starting the car, shifting into D gear feels stuck, and it takes several attempts to engage. This might be related to the transmission fluid—older cars often have deteriorated or insufficient fluid, leading to unresponsive shifting mechanisms. Additionally, the linkage or cables of the gear lever may have worn out or loosened, especially with frequent gear changes in city driving, which accelerates wear. On the electronic side, if the sensors in the transmission control module malfunction, intermittent failures can occur. I recommend first checking the fluid level—a simple fluid change might solve the problem. The CVT transmission in the Teana tends to develop such issues as it ages, so don’t delay too long, or internal components could get damaged, costing more to repair.
