| Description of the problem | While driving our 13 nissan altima south on hwy 218/27 suddenly the car was stalling and lunging and we lost all power while driving in 4 lane traffic on may 13, 2019. While trying to depress the accelerator there was nothing we could not accelerate or anything. This was extremely dangerous situation as we were trying to cross on coming traffic the vehicle would lunge or not accelerate at all. We could have easily caused a collision due to the lunging and stalling of the transmission. We took our vehicle to authorized nissan dealer deery brothers in west burlington, ia and was diagnosed as needing the transmission replaced. This replacement will cost $4,500. Our altima has 85,000 miles. I believe this vehicle has nissans cvt that has malfunctioned is various other nissan models. Hopefully this situation will be remedied by a recall. |
