| Description of the problem | I was driving down the highway when my rpm gauge raced overv7000 then dropped to 0 and i lost all ability to control the transmission. Engine light came on afterwards. Called nissan and had it checked out and was told it was the cvt transmission and that it is common for this to happen with no warning.? Nice hazard as i was almost rear ended on the highway when it happened and nissan said since it had 115k miles nothing they would do about it |
