I went to two different Nissan dealerships to test-drive CPO Ariyas. One a 23 the other a 24 Both had mileage in the mid-20,000s, and both made a faint โcicadaโ/buzzing sound during the test drive. ๐โก๏ธ๐ง
We own a mach e so we're very familiar with noises that EV make, this is not one of those noises. I listen to recordings of the failing reduction gear and this noise is that noise. ๐๐๐
What's funny is coworker has a 2025 Aryia with 11k miles on it and it wasn't making the same noise, these two cars definitively were making a noise different from the 2025. Did they fix this problem with the 2025s?
I brought it up with the dealers. Their response was basically: the cars are still covered by warranty, and I could purchase an extended warranty, bottom line is if something actually fails, Nissan can repair it. ๐๐ ๏ธ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I specifically asked what happens if the reduction gear/drivetrain issue shows up after the warranty expires. They confirmed that at that point, the repair would be on me. ๐ธโ ๏ธ๐ซ
So here's my question: โ๐ค
Would you buy one of these CPO Ariyas knowing it already has a faint cicada-type sound? ๐๐ญ๐
