| Description of the problem | Got this car from my brother and began driving it at 104,800 miles on vehicle. Within a few days, waiting to turn left into a parking lot, depressing accelerator and nothing happened. This has succeedingly happened a dozen times, more often in heavy traffic from a stopped position. My mechanic has replaced the throttle body and checked all codes. Still, it is continuing. In reading complaints, both at this . Gov site and other websites, this is a common and consistent fault with the cvt transmission for 03 & 04 nissans. Neither nissan nor www. Nhtsa. Dot. Gov has responded. Does someone have to die before there is a reaction? It implies not only this, but also that nissan understands it will do better financially dealing with the very few instances of lawsuits. The car qualifies for the lemon law, if there is such a law still in effect. It is worthless unless i spend around $5000. To replace a transmission that is faulty to begin with. |
