| Description of the problem | I own 2015 nissan altima, i want nhtsa to be aware of serious problem with cvt transmission issue. I was on 95 south in washington dc when my vehicle hesitated for several seconds as i pushed my gas pedal all the way to the floor my car would slightly move forward. When i was trying to move to the far right shoulder, i was almost hit by mack truck. My car was barely moves. The almost caused serious accident and possible my life. This happened again today 8/23/2018 on my way to work. I was at stop light i push the accelerator and my vehicle barely moved. I was told by the nissan dealer that it cvt transmission. The dealer said they are getting a dozen 2015 nissan a week with this same issue. This is ridiculous my car is only 3 years old. This is too expensive for me to fix. |
