My car stopped on my way to work and i had to restart it several times, a diagnostic test was performed and was told it is my cvt torque converter (transmission). Was bad, the auto shop printed a recall that was done for nissan customer, contacted the service department no knowledge of the recall, they stated not under warranty. Contacted nissan consumer affairs had a case review done and received a call back, i explained to them i researched information, there are so many cvt transmission issues with their cars, rep stated there was nothing they could help me with. Contact legal advice and was given this website and other information there is an ongoing investigation concerning this issue . Something has to be done a. S. A. P. With this faulty transmission, i am very disappointed to know this has been an issue for a while recalls were done from 2003-2010 and the problem was fixed . Please make a decision soon to fix this issue, it is a hazard, car starting and stopping at red lights, etc. Thank you |
