| Description of the problem | we left sears and proceeded to pull out of parking spot. Stepped on gas pedal and rpm went to over 5 grand. Vehicle moved by drifting. After rpms dropped vehicle started to move but not very well. Vehicle showed signs of transmission not engaging. The transmission is a cvt type automatic. After several attempts decided to shut car off and re-start. Hoping this method would allow for ecm to re-boot. No such luck. Car carried on for several miles. Dangerous part of journey was at red lights and intersection. Was hoping that we would not be rear-ended by someone in hurry. Called nissan dealer,other one than dealer i originally bought the car from,to see if i could get car in to shop. Described incident and this dealer gave us a slot for 9:00am next day. Dealer checked car. Could not duplicate problem but checked car's computer. 3 codes were stored indicating transmission part failure. Dealer ordered transmission and had it delivered in 2 days. Dealer currently has car in shop and was getting started removing trans. Will have car back,hopefully the following day. Please be advised that the dealer performing service is another nissan dealer and not the one i bought car from. This is also the 3rd dealer i have used for other problems. This dealer is very respectful of it's customer and bends over backwards to help. I have had problems with fuel gauge not showing full tank when filled. This happened around 12k miles. I tried a dealer closer to us. He took the car in to check it out,even though he did not have the part in stock to repair vehicle. Took 3 weeks to get car in and another 3 weeks to get it back in for the repair. After taking it in for the repair they did not have us on the schedule and had lost the part. After calling nissan of america this "bad"dealer repaired the car. This dealer was worse than 1st dealer. |
