Is it possible to repair a CVT transmission?
Is it possible to repair a CVT transmission?
CVTs are more complex and specialized than a standard automatic transmission, and repair costs often are very expensive. And when a CVT cannot be repaired, it needs to be replaced, which can be so expensive that owners are forced to sideline an otherwise perfectly good car.
Is the Ford Freestyle going to have a CVT transmission?
That is very sad news. Nissan is expanding their CVT models and advertising which is creating a greater awareness of the benefits of the CVT transmission. Ford should also be doing this rather than jumping ship. I find it a dumb move by Ford that just as awareness of the CVT is gaining momentum with the general public they decide to drop it.
What was the transmission problem on my 2005 freestyle?
Here’s my story. Our 2005 Freestyle started to have odd transmission behavior (wouldn’t move, or would inch along at very high rpm). Shutting it off and restarting it always cleared the engine and/or transmission light and it would drive fine, for a long time.
Are there any problems with the Ford Freestyle?
Ford is not as rich as they used to be so they are watching everything very closely. The other problem is there just aren’t many rebuilt transmissions available for the Freestyle. I personally don’t see nearly the troubles on the Freestyle as I have in past new vehicles that Ford has brought out.
Can a CVT be repaired on an Indy?
Yes, an indy transmission expert would be advisable. However, don’t be surprised if you are told that the only fix is to replace the trans, and few places (if any) currently know how to repair a CVT. I think that Uncle Turbo’s advice–to take it to the Ford dealer–is the best course of action. Too many maybes.

What does a CVT transmission on a Ford do?
Many of the newer Ford vehicles have a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) option available to provide customers with improved acceleration and enhanced fuel economy. A CVT transmission is a type of automatic transmission, however it operates without any physical gears by using a belt and pulley system for an unrestricted range of gear ratio.
Is there a buy back process for a Ford Freestyle?
In the sunny California there is no arbitration process. If the car meets some conditions its a buyback! They said it is going to take about 2 months, at which point they’ll give me a 2007. “Ford is dropping the continuously variable transmission offered in the Ford Freestyle, Five Hundred and Mercury Montego at the end of the 2007 model year.”
