| Description of the problem | While driving my car, it started to make "grinding" movements and stopped moving while i was driving. I was lucky that i didn't crash. I'm filing this complaint because of the various problems i've had with this cvt transmission -- including wheezing noises and shifting problems and now complete transmission failure. Called nissan they refuse to help because my car has 132k miles and their extended warranty only goes to 120k. I've only had this car for 5 years. It's only 8 years old. They instituted this extended warranty due to so many complaining about the problems with the cvt. But i'm over the warranty and now i'm on the hook for 4k in transmission repair. I feel this is unfair as i have maintained my vehicle. |
