Description of the problem | At approximately 40k miles, the dealer replaced the cvt because the car was "bucking" and created a code that the mechanics could see. That fixed the problem until a few thousand miles later; the car now jutters around 20-25mph on flat roads and very pronounced on inclines then produces a wobble throughout the car at speeds above 25mph. When i take my foot off the gas, the symptom stops. Both the service manager and transmission specialist took the car for a ride with me and experienced the symptoms. Dealer said that because it is not producing a code, there is nothing they can do. Asked that i drive it for a few more weeks to see if a code appears. Yesterday, i brought it back to the dealer with the same symptoms to check for a fault code; none were present. Dealer said there was nothing they could do without a code and suggested i contact infiniti consumer affairs. I did that and was told a regional representative will contact me in 24 hours. In about 3 hours, that time will have passed. I am concerned that the transmission issue will leave my wife and young kids stranded. We are due to leave tomorrow for a vacation 4 hours away; i will be renting an suv for over $500 for the trip because of a lack of confidence with the vehicle. |
