| Description of the problem | Nissan 2011 cvt transmission failure. Car would not accelerate in the middle of a busy highway, narrowly escaping a crash with another car. Cost to replace $+4000. 2003-2010 altima cvt owners complained about cvt transmissions and granted complete reimbursement coverage... 5 years/60,000 miles changed to 10 years/120,000 miles. Nissan customer service denied $ support for my 2011 altima nor would they tell me whether i had the same cvt that the 2010 model had... If it was the same cvt should i not be granted the same coverage/? The cvt i had endangered my life without any warning! A review of other drivers and law suits suggests that cvt is a danger to more than myself. Nissan has not released information to me or other drivers (one internet article stated that a nissan ceo said there were no changes made??) |
