| Description of the problem | I am submitting a complaint regarding the cvt- back in aug 2015 i was out of town and was traveling home and noticed while driving my vehicle all of a sudden started to decelerate. The scary part was there was an 18 wheeler behind me. No warning lights came on-i pulled over and turned off the vehicle. I was alone and scared and had 300 miles to go. What should have taken 6 hours took me 11 hours because i had stop every 30-45 minutes. I took it to a nissan dealership and they were aware of the problem. They stated nissan had to go through the steps before replacing the transmission- but at what cost- when someone dies- they installed a cvt oil cooler kit -well guess what ? 1 year and 3 months later on my first long distance trip since last year. The same exact thing occurred except i have 600 miles before i get home. I was stuck on the side of the road alone with the same issue. Thank god the truck behind me did not hit me or i injury someone else due to this issue nissan continues to ignore. I had to have my car towed to a nissan dealership in the middle of the night, could not get a rental because it was a sunday and they were closed. So now i'm in an unknown area waiting to see what nissan does this time. |
