| Description of the problem | My vehicle goes into "limp mode" (the dealership used this term) suddenly while driving. I was driving 35 mph and suddenly it won't go even 20 mph. This has happened on 5 occasions. Most recently last week. 1st time at 20k miles i had the valve body replaced, 2nd time the cvt was reprogrammed, 3rd time there were no codes, 4th time the cvt was reprogrammed and now 5th time at 51k miles the valve body is being replaced again. I noticed the issue starting when the vehicle will not accelerate while driving or even from a stop sign or stop light. I contacted nissan consumer affairs to investigate (this is the 2nd time i asked them to investigate). This final time i was told i would be getting a new transmission since 7 codes showed on the scan but they just called me and told me they replaced the valve body again. |
