| Description of the problem | Initially, the vehicle trembled and cut off at traffic light. Mechanic discovered that it threw a code with fluid pressure sensor issue in transmission. Replaced transmission with used one... Same code. Replaced that one with rebuilt transmission, throwing the same code. If trying to enter road, it may feel strong enough to enter highway, then losses throttle response. It may continue with about 20 mph speed. Then again, it may start off alright and becomes obvious at some speeds that the rpm is greater than it should be for the speed vehicle is moving. Nissan dealership has had vehicle for well over 2 weeks and have no answers. Asked them to check electrical and the computer, still no answers and hardly any communications at all. It is well documented that the cvt transmissions are a serious problem with these vehicles, but after the issues experienced, this could be a possible computer issue. Either way it is a very dangerous situation and a lot of money spent with no results. |
