| Description of the problem | My car has 97,500 miles on it equipped with a cvt transmission. Nissan in the past has had issues with these transmissions and extended transmission warranty to 120k miles in 08-2010 models. After doing research car. Com found 2013-14 altimas and rogues have had same issue. 2 days prior before getting my car to dealer to have transmission checked out, i first noticed my rpms revving up and down while on cruise control. Following workday i was at a stop light. Light turned green and cars approaching fast behind me took my vehicle 2,000 rpms to move from stop light almost getting rearended, i was only 1,100 miles over my paid extended warranty communicated with nissan about the issues with the cvt transmission. Long story short they wont back up this faulty transmission and now i have to pay $3,200. 00 for my transmission to be fixed http://www. Carcomplaints.
