| Description of the problem | I have number of problems with my vehicle - 2014 altima sl. Several times after stop and go traffic the transmission stops switching gears (speeds). It gets stuck on a first gear equivalent in cvt transmission. The fix is to restart the vehicle, obviously this could be dangerous on the road where there are no places to stop. Another major problem is a head unit (navigation, radio, etc). It restarts by itself now and than, sometimes right in a middle of the highway when i'm trying to figure out what exit to take and i need the gps guidance. Its absolutely unreliable. I'm not complaining about the quality of the software here that is terrible, by the way, but in any situation it should not restart by itself! Another problem, as mentioned by others, is mileage. I get much less miles as advertised! This is my first and last nissan! |
