That's nothing to brag about. I'm not sure how long you had your other nissans, but no vehicle should have issues at 65k miles, especially major mechanical issues (barring issues caused by neglect). I dated a girl with a 2018 Nissan Rogue and the transmission was already going out at <40k miles. But I also have a coworker with a 15 year old Versa with well over 200k miles who's never had an issue. It's kind of a gamble, but the fact that it's so widespread and across so many models is obviously indicative of a major design flaw. I would say it's CVTs in general, but other modern CVTs (like those from Honda and Toyota) don't have such major and widespread issues.
What is the one thing that keeps me from buying a Nissan? The CVT transmission. Why Nissan insists on using the same old brand of CVT is the one thing keeping Nissan from taking over the car market.
Notice it's only the cvt they see as a problem. My first car was an 84 Nissan 300zx. That car drove for a year even after blowing the head gasket in it. It was still running and getting me around the day I lost the keys and had to abandon it in the grocery store parking lot. One of the best cars I ever owned.
The big problem with Nissan CVT is that they program them to act like 5 or 6 speed transmissions because that's what people expect and want, so they're expected to deal with high momentary torque loads. The engineers didn't design them for that, but for a fairly smooth and linear torque load, but you don't hear them "shift" when that happens, so idiots think there's something wrong. Crazy.
Most modern CVTs do the fake shift thing. But other CVTs (Toyota, Honda, Subaru, etc) don't have nearly as many major widespread issues as the Nissan JATCO transmissions.
