| Description of the problem | My nissan altima cvt transmission is going up again. This is the third time and nissan had my car for almost three weeks and i had to call and see a status and if i didn't i still wouldn't of got a call about it. They told me they did a software update on the control module of the transmission and there is a note in my account that i can bring it up as many times as i need to with no charge to me. Are you kidding me red flag, and lets not forget this is the third time they had my vehicle on the same problem and this is a red flag for not knowing how many more times this will happen in the future but it will happen. The cvt transmission is a vehicle with no reliability with it, costs you an arm and leg, and the car is crap. They all need to be recalled. The vehicle makes a whiney nose going down or up hills, the rpm's get stuck in 2nd gear and don't let you go above 20mph unless you take your foot off and then stomp it to the floor to kick it out of gear, and the car tries to overdue your driving to do its own. The transmission is crap and needs to be recalled after all the reviews out there saying the same thing from 2008 to at least 2015 or 2016. |
