| Description of the problem | Cvt transmission failure , i took very good car the car through the dealership that i bought it new from. I followed all maintenance requirements. The car is 3 years old and the transmission just quit on me no warning just done. It will cost me 4500$ out of my pocket to fix. The dealership helped me file a complaint with nissan usa to help. The answer from nissan was we cant help you with your transmission but we can offer $1500 for a new nissan. This is unacceptable theses cvt transmissions are consistently failing on nissans. As the consumer we are getting financially killed by this. Action is required against nissan they know there is a issue yet they are still allowed to sell and not stand behind a major part of their vehicles. Please do something this is dangerous. I could have been at an intersection or in traffic. |
