plm42 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hey everyone. I've had a rare, though recurring transmission slippage issue. When driving at a constant 125-130 km/h (75-80 MPH) for a long distance, the transmission will start slipping after some time. Slip is very noticeable and lasts for half a second at most, but will continue unless I lower my speed for a while. The engine RPM is stable, no water or issue of any kind that might cause the symptoms. I tried reproducing the issue with and without cruise control - same behavior occurs. The car (and transmission) is still under warranty, but I wanted to ask anyone else out there if you had the same issue. Only occurs when driving continuously at these higher speeds (may be a tad fast for Canada, but it's the regular speed limit for many US states, as I understand it...)

The TR580 doesn't seem to have as many issues as the TR690, but the power and overall load the CVT has to handle is much less. Likely a pressure issue causing the chain slippage. Dealers are required to follow TSB 16-132-20R when diagnosing. I'm pretty sure your CVT also had its warranty extended to 100k miles. 16-132-20R_071122-FORM.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blusubado Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 (edited) I've had a similar issue with my 22 Touring XT but I thought it was a misfire. I'll be doing around 40-45mph, at cruising speed, giving it just enough throttle to keep speed, maybe a little less. and randomly it feels like powered is cut for less then a second, and it'll happen for a few quick chugs and then back to normal. for the first 5k miles it was only after a cold start but now it's after its warmed up and been driven for a bit.
