Altima S 2.5L

  • CVT transmission
  • 700 miles

I've recently purchased new 2017 Altima S trim. This car is yet to reach 1k mileage. The issue that I am experiencing is an annoying/constant droning coming from the car when hitting anywhere between 1700 to 2000 RPM's. The car does it while accelerating or decelerating...all within that RPM threshold. Imagine driving over those small rumble strips on the roads...that's the best I can compare it to.

I took the car to the dealer and the technician also took a test drive and was able to feel the issue I was talking about. He gave an explanation that this is how a normal CVT works. They are not ready to accept this as an issue.

Anyone else facing similar issue, please share your comments/suggestions.

Thank you.
