| Description of the problem | First, my car would hesitate to change gears when started. While at a complete stop my car started with a jerk and the rpm needle would flutter. Next, i would attempt to accelerate from a complete stop and the car would hesitate to move. I'd press the gas and go nowhere with the rpm needle at its max then suddenly take off until one day i started the car and it would not move. I had the car towed to my local nissan dealership and was advised it was valve and cvt related. Long story short, i repaired what they said i needed to repair, $1400 and 2 days after i picked the car up, the same issue occurred, jerking at complete stops and the engine light came on 4 days later. Nissan consumer affairs would not help me even though they've honored certain vin numbers for the same problem. So my car is currently in the shop, again, 5 days after i paid $1400 for a 4 year old car that had been diagnosed me sent home with a clean bill of health. |
