| Description of the problem | Faulty transmission, discolored, broken. Needs to either be repaired or replaced. At 111,000 miles my car had trouble stopping. I almost got hit in the middle of the intersection. Have really bad whiplash and continue to see a chiropractor every 2 weeks. I have taken my nissan cube 2009 111,000 miles to 3 mechanics. (nissan, meineke and pismo automotive) have documentation available upon request. Including nissan when they said that it would be $260 to diagnose i went to 2 other mechanics shortly after) of which, i couldn't get a clear answer as to which was going on with my engine. The transmission cvt which i now know it is, because of your website, it was making all kinds of weird noises (engine revving). Jerking transmission, shifting (slamming and harsh while braking) have transmission leaks reported and reported that cvt was not only leaking, but blackened in color. (saw it yesterday while mechanic showed me inside of engine and cvt. When i press on gas pedal it would drop out of power and hesitates on acceleration. Taking the lemon to nissan again. It's currently at pismo automotive, as soon as mechanic puts the engine back together i will be towing my car (nissan said i had to tow it to them) but even then, getting the run around from nissan saying i have to pay but it will be covered. *dt consumer stated brakes did not fully stop.
