There are certain makes and models that have tendency to have more transmission problems than others. In some cases it is manufacturers fault, because they overlooked some flaws in side the transmission and made some upgrades later on. Other times it is a part that is not related to transmission at all would fail and cause transmission to brake.
This is my list of cars that tend to have more transaxle failures than other models.
1998 - 2001 Honda Accord
very common problem is 2nd and 3rd gear slipping. There are many upgrades for these transmission to prevent from failing again. After the transmission is rebuilt it is actually better than when it was new because of factory upgrades and shift kits available.
2004 - 2008 Nissan Maxima
common failure is hard shifting between gears. This problem can be repaired, but I have seen cases when two components failed at the same time and it took much longer to trouble shoot then just replace a valve body from a dealer.
1998 - 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country
Common failure in the solenoid block. Hard gear engagement and hard shifting are common signs. Depending on the year solenoid block can be replaced or rebuilt.
2005 - 2009 Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Xtera
Common failure is caused by water contamination. It is very common for these vehicle to have internal radiator failure and coolant would mix with transmission fluid causing transmission overheat and severe damage. In my experience I have seen same radiator failure twice on the same vehicle. To prevent it San Diego transmission repair specialist will always offer to install external transmission cooler.
2002 - 2004 Audi A4 3.0 CVT transmission
This vehicle has electronically controlled CVT transmission, and it is common to fail after 100,000 miles. Not many parts are available to repair it, the best advice is to get another used transmission.
2005 – 2009 Volkswagen Jetta 6 speed Automatic
Common problem hard shifting when hot. If you are experiencing symptoms where the car drives perfect in the morning but after 15 min of driving it starts to change gears with bang or jerk, than you might have bad valve body in your transmission. After numerous vehicle being repaired in my transmission repair shop in San Diego, I noticed that this transmission failure happens before the car reaches 100,000 miles. In this case you might avoid full transmission rebuild, but still valve body alone is not cheap.
