| Description of the problem | 16 nissan altima sometimes has about a 5 second delay in acceleration as car just idles and slowly rolls ahead. This is very dangerous when you are taking off and crossing on coming traffic. Took it to nissan dealer they said nothing they can do because it doesnt show an error code. Same with nissan usa corperation. Says nothing they can do untill shows a code or fails completely. So basicall they are saying that this vehicle is safe to drive? New transmission about 4500 dollars. My warranty runs out at 90,000 miles, wich is an aftermarket warranty that i paid 2500 $ for. Im sure that they hope the warranty expires so i get the bill. Nissan knows about problems with cvt transmissions, and footpedal position sensors and does nothing about it. How can they be in buisness? How van they tell me it is safe to drive like this. I think it should be a recall issue. |
