| Description of the problem | Driving to ct car dies in mid momentum and almost causes a serious accident. Fought to get over into the breakdown lane almost getting hit by a sixteen wheeler. After a $150 dollar tow the car starts up and i drove it to the dealer the next day. I was told that it was a cam position and cam shaft sensor. Total cost $650. Take car home two days later the surges started and the car starts sputtering again. Currently the car is at the dealer and i am being told that it might be a transmission issue on a car that does not have 60k on it. This is ridiculous how can nissan allow these issues with the cvt go on with doing a recall. I mean i almost lost my life does it take someone to die before something happens. |
