| Description of the problem | I was driving my daughter home from pre-k and had been in the car for 10 miles without a problem. I was stopped at a stop light at a very busy four -way intersection. The light turned green and the car would not move. I pushed the accelerator and the car didn't move. I was shocked. It was perfectly fine one minute and did not move the next minute. The car acted as if it were in neutral and it wouldn't go. After pressing a few times, the car started to go very slowly. I took some back roads stopping at different parking lots hoping to make it home. I had my car towed to the mechanic. The mechanic said that at 59,700 miles, my 2015 nissan altima's cvt transmission is non-functional & the diagnostic code is starting to show upl. I owe money on the loan and now i have to pay thousands of dollars to replace the transmission or start from scratch. No recalls. No help. What a disappointment. |
