| Description of the problem | Having issues with the cvt transmission in my 2014 altima, the symptoms are while sitting at a stop and engine idling at a normal rpm in drive the car will at random begin to lurch forward rpms will fluctuate and at times engine will die. After the engine dies at times restart is difficult and may take two of three attempts before the car (engine/transmission) will function properly. I have taken it to the dealership have been told that they cannot reproduce the issue and therefore (this is my opinion) there is no problem. With only 10,000 miles left on my powertrain warranty, i feel that nissan has put me between a rock and a hard place, it goes without saying that this is my first and last nissan. |
