| Description of the problem | Car developed load rumbling in the front end. Progressively getting louder. Car then began to sure and or loose power at random intervals .. As so many others have stated cvt failing. Learned about this problem after the fact. Was amazed to see how many people had filed complaints without any response or help from nissan. No recall no help getting car credit, as it is valueless in trade at dealer. Fortunate that mine seemed to last longer than most. Cost 4 to 6 thousand to fix... More than car is worth at this point. Left with no way getting rid of it or getting new vehicle. Car that i thought would have good trade in value absolutely no one wants to touch. Been offered 1000 max for it at several different dealers. Shocked that a company size of nissan would not work with there customers... At least offering reasonable compensation for current value of vehicle. Im sure nissan will never be considered in my car buying decisions again. Problem has potential to be deadly for everyone in vehicle as the car looses power or surges without warning. I am sure they will be sued shortly when an entire family looses there life because nissan refuses to acknowledge the problem. |
