| Description of the problem | Driving mountain terrain on hwy 87 north in the desert heat near phoenix the vehicle lost power and would not accelerate properly. When taken to the dealership we were told that it was something that they see frequently when driving long distances, up mountains or in extreme heat. Also told by nissan consumer affairs rep that she was working on several similar cases, but a resolve is made on a case by case basis. Upon doing research nissan has had many problems with the cvt transmissions. We feel that the transmission not working properly is a huge safety concern, as you cannot accelerate properly if need be, driving on these mountain terrains is dangerous enough when you can accelerate properly. Nissan consumer affairs has yet to say whether they can provide a resolution. |
