| Description of the problem | While stopped at a traffic light the car cut off ! I restarted and put it in gear and the car cut off again. The car would idle fine in park and neutral but cut off whenever i put it in gear. After pushing the car to a lot and leaving it for 12 hours the car started to work normally. However the next day the same exact thing happened ! After researching the issue i found that this transmission has major issues and nissan isn't addressing it. I opened a case with nissan consumer affairs case number 22626692 and was told me that there is nothing they can do because my car has 81k miles . Making it 20k miles over the manufacture warranty. There is no way that a well maintained cars transmission should fail at 80k miles. Nissan knows this yet they are failing to help consumers with this problem ! The cvt tansmission can cause someone to lose their life .. |
