| Description of the problem | Dear nhsta yesterday, when i was at a stop, my car starting to "jump" forward. After working a 12 hour shift, i decided to make an appointment for the next day. But on my way to work the following day, i was driving about 45-50mph and i couldn't accelerate. I came to a busy intersection and stopped when i tried to move it just stopped. I turned it off to restart, put it in park and it stulled again. I was in a very busy intersection "5 lanes". I had to call 911 to help direct traffic so they could push my car off the road. I have only 61000 miles and i am the only owner of the car. My car had to be towed to the dealer. I was told it is the cvt. I am an icu/er nurse. I bought a nissan due to safety ratings. Leaving me sit in a busy intersection, plus the airbag recall, i would not consider this car safe,anymore. I have read many complaints about nissan and cvts, why are there no recalls? Are you waiting for more deaths and accidents to occur? When a company offers and extended warranty specifically for a cvt up to 100,000 miles, then obviously there is a problem. Please fix this issue sincerely, jill s rn,bsn,cen,ccrn |
