Bought my 19' new, has about 160k all highway miles now. Did my 4th trans service today, found a ton of metal shards on the dipstick. The car still moves and drives somewhat normal from what I can tell. Most of what I've read about CVT issues had to do with earlier 3rd gens. How many of us with later models have had this problem?
Trying to decide whether it's worth fixing or just dumping.
