| Description of the problem | My car shut off abruptly when i was driving in the highway and i almost got hit by another car. Luckily, it was rush hour and we were only going about 30mph. I put the car back in park and restarted. Once restarted, i got off the highway and was at a busy intersection and i was the first car at the red light. My car shut off in the middle of the intersection during rush hour. It was very dangerous. I had car towed to dealer and it's a complete cvt transmission failure. Still waiting to see if nissan will cover the replacement. The car has 37k miles and is still under the $60k power train warranty. |
