| Description of the problem | Follow up to complaint number 10198578. The entire cvt transmission was eventually replaced while the car had only 4500 miles on it. At around 60,000 miles the check engine light came on (8/31/09) so i took it to do the dealership and they received transmission codes. Nissan headquarters got involved and determined another transmission was needed. This will be my third transmission on a car that is a little over 2 years old and has only 60,000 miles on it. Nissan has said that the cvt transmissions have had few problems, and instead of repairing them, they are just getting replaced. No further explanation was given. I think it's ridiculous. |
