The only car I’ve ever had transmission issues with was a 2010 Fusion with the 6F35 transmission. They started at only 6,000 miles and lasted the rest of the time with that car.
Nissans are notorious for going through CVT transmissions and I haven’t had an issue yet, my uncle has a 2012 Maxima with 210k on it and on the original trans.
I honestly don’t believe transmission issues are caused by how one drives a car unless they’re SUPER hard on the car ALL the time, I mean to an extreme, but the car would be having other issues relating to being driven too hard at that point. If otherwise was the case then anyone but granny footed drivers in my area would be going through transmissions like crazy.
With that said I do think maintenance is a big help in prolonging their life, just recently got my mom to take her car to the mechanic to do a fluid change at 71k and it came out pretty dirty. I had noticed it resetting to 1st while coming to a stop a bit roughly when I had driven it prior to that, now it’s back to its smooth self.
