| Description of the problem | Prior to taking my 2014 nissan altima to a nissan service center for a scheduled routine oil & filter change, my vehicle was running perfectly. The very next day after i had my routine oil & filter change on my vehicle, my vehicle started hesitating in first gear and immediately i took my vehicle back to the nissan service center the same day of the occurrence and i explained to the nissan service center representative that my vehicle started hesitating. (the day after i had a scheduled routine oil & filter change). When the nissan service center diagnosed my vehicle i was told my cvt transmission indicating a bad internal sensor within the transmission and i would need to pay $3,800 dollars to repair my cvt transmission. I explained to the nissan service center rep. My vehicle was just at the nissan service center yesterday for a routine oil & filter change and there was no warning lights or warning signs on my dashboard that would indicate a problem with my transmission. In addition to my vehicle hesitating in first gear it also appeared not to change gears while i was driving in motion on the highway. I told the nissan rep the amount of money wanted to repair my vehicle was to much money and the nissan rep stated my vehicle is pass the warranty limit because i have 78,000 mile and my limit is 60,000 miles to be covered under warranty. The service rep stated they can have a sales rep contact me to purchase a new car if i did not want to pay for the transmission repair. After refusing to have my vehicle repaired at that price i picked up my vehicle from the nissan service center and drove my vehicle home and it ran fine with no warning lights or any indication of any problems. The vehicle changed gears and drove perfectly. I just want to report this issue and to red flag this problem with my 2014 nissan altima. If someone's dealing with this issue please advise. |
