| Description of the problem | While traveling at 65 mph on the highway, the rpms began jumping. It was acting like the transmission was slipping. Then after stopping, the transmission took several seconds to go into gear. A short time later, the car would not accelerate over 60mph. Took to the dealer and they said the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The car had under 20,000 miles on it. I have read that this is a very common problem with nissan cvt transmissions and some owners have had their transmissions replaced 5 times. |
