Description of the problem | I live in arizona; it is end of april and yesterday temperatures were 99-100 degrees. Coming back from phoenix on highway going 75mph, rpm was at 4000; engine revving high and would not come down- very loud and noisy. Upon going up hill, car started to automatically slow down on its own, first to 40 mph, then to 25mph. At this point i pulled over to the shoulder as my car continued to slow to 20 mph. All of this while my foot was pressed completely to the floor of the gas pedal! Absolutely no power! Sat on the side of the road for a few minutes but kept engine running. Once i started on the road again, trany seemed to "kick in" and i was able to go 40 mph in a matter of minutes with regular rpm and no noise. I stopped at the gas station 3 miles ahead and let the vehicle rest for about 10 minutes. This is the 2nd time this has happened. The first time was 7 months prior in the hotter month of september in arizona where temperatures reach well into 110. Same scenerio of traveling long distance- 75-80 miles, pushing the vehicle to 75mph on freeway, gas pedal all the way to the floor and losing power. The first time this happened was frightening because i was on busy freeway, lots of traffic, and suddenly no power with vehicle decelerating to 60, then 50mph with kids in the car. Problem resolved when i got off freeway and let the car rest. Both times there was no engine light. Yesterday when i called the dealership, they were not familiar with this problem. When i came home i googled my scenerio and discovered this is a very common problem among nissan owners with cvt transmission. Why is there not a recall or bulletin on this with a fix?? |
