| Description of the problem | I have been having stalling issues with the cvt transmission in my car for over a year. Took it to the nissan dealership here where i live on 12/17 for the issue only received a change of fluid no error codes. Spent almost 300. 00 that day. Took it back again on 1/18 for the same issue, not even a month apart. Was told that from the video i showed the nissan worker it was my transmission going bad. I had to pay 110. 00 to hook it up to the machine this day. After leaving my car at the dealership for over a week i was told that they could not honor the 120,000 extended warranty because they were not able to duplicate the problem or pull any error codes. They performed an update to the transmission which they stated was needed and that "should" fix the issue. Fast forward to 11/3/18 less than 3000 miles later it's stalling again and won't go past 5 mph with the gas paddle all the way to the floor on a flat surface street. I had to pull over because there were cars behind me and it was an unsafe situation. I have documented all of this and have videos to prove everything that i speak of. There was a time where i was driving on the interstate and doing the speed limit of 70 and all of a sudden my car slowed down on its own to 50 and would not accelerate. I had to try to make it over to the shoulder without getting hit by 18 wheelers zooming past me. That in itself is a safety issue and concern for me. |
