| Description of the problem | On november 16 2019 i was driving on the freeway on my way to work, when i felt my car jerk while i was driving 70mph . It continued to jerk on and off. I told my husband and we took the car to the auto repair shop where they performed a diagnostic test. The test results read cvt, which is transmission for altima. After receiving that information i went to the nissan website to check for recalls. I put in my vin number and two recalls came back. We then took the car to the nissan dealership and informed them of the recalls, and asked why we were never notified of the recalls. In a short description of the recall it states if the recall on the cvt transmission is not fixed, continuing to drive the vehicle in this condition can lead to accelerated wear and damage to the cvt transmission. This recall was posted december 2016. I purchased the car august 2017 and i have drove my car everyday until november 25, 2019. With no notification of a recall. I am going back and forth between nissan's dealership and corporate to have my transmission replaced at no charge but they are saying there is nothing they can do because i didn't purchase the vehicle from a nissan dealership. |
