| Description of the problem | When moving on city street or highway car does not pickup speed when pressing on gas pedal, then it jumps and speeds up quickly. If car is going up incline it barely moves, then jumps in gear. Stopped at a light or waiting for cars to move, my car barely moves-then picks up speed, going too fast. I had car checked at colonial nissan in festerville pa, they claim nothing wrong with my eventhough i had a certified transmission tech said the problem is the cvt-transmission. This is happening continuously. Im afraid something serious may happen before nissan acknowledge there is a problem with their cars. |
