| Description of the problem | I purchased a used 2014 nissan altima with 58,000 miles. It drove great during test driving and on my way home which is 1 hour away from where i live. By day 2 the car began jerking around 60 mi per hr. And under. I made an appointment to have it looked at my local nissan dealership. By day 4 on the way to the dealership the rpm would jump up to 4 and the car made a winding noise. It would advance forward quickly and then stall. All of this while driving on a major highway. I came to a place where i could pull over waited a few minutes and then tried to pull off the car would not go anywhere. I finally had to have it towed to the dealership. Nissan has yet to know what the problem is, saying it has an "unspecified code". It's been 3 days. I know there had been a recall on the cvt transmission however i don't see my vehicle vin on the list. |
