| Description of the problem | I bought this car used a couple years ago. Last month while driving down the road the car started jerking and i couldn't go over 20 miles an hour. I took it to a repair shop and they said the transmissions was a cvt transmission and could not be repaired or rebuilt and had to be replaced at $4,100+. They said this was a problem with cvt and nissan was aware of it and had offered an extended warranty to 100k (at a cost). The transmission only had 80,000 miles. When i asked about the warranty on the new transmission i was told the trans was only guaranteeded for 12,000 miles or one year. It's sad that a company is aware of a situation like this. It would have been one thing to have to pay $1,500 to have it rebuilt but to have to pay $4,100+ and it's only good for a year is another thing. Now i'm in a bind. Do i (1) hang on to it and risk having to pay for another transmission in a year or two, (2) sell it and have someone else fall into the same situation or (3) trade it in and lose big time due to the transmission. |
