Yep. The Nissans with the more powerful engines and the heavier cars (including the Altima, Maxima, etc.) go through them far more frequently than the Versas and Sentras. They even put them in the Pathfinder and slapped at 5,000 lb towing capacity on that thing.
Even the far superior Subaru CVT has a high failure rate in the turbocharged Outback and Ascent models - both of which are heavier, more powerful cars.
Toyota got around this in their Prius and Corolla by adding a first gear to get the vehicle moving. Then the transmission shifts into the CVT pulley. The wear on the CVT as the car moves is far less than the stress of stop/go movements. They also don't recommend towing with their CVT.
