| Description of the problem | There is a problem with the cvt automatic transmission. I reported the problem when i first bought the car from carmax and was sent to nissan for a reset. No issue was found at that time. The car is shuttering and stalling out while i am driving full speed. This has happened on the interstate/freeway as well as other busy roads leaving myself and my child stranded and in near accidents. Nissan refuses to help with this part. It should 100% be a recall. Instead, nissan issued an extended warranty that i was not notified about and expired two weeks, july 31, 2020 before i contacted nissan with the worsening issue. They would not honor the extended warranty because my car had 98,000 miles instead of 80,000/ i have only had the car four years, i am financially struggling because of the pandemic, and making payments on a car that i cannot drive. There are hundreds of complaints about nissan's faulty cvt transmissions. Please help!!!!! This started again two weeks into august when i initially contacted nissan. There has always been an undiagnosed transmission issue. These should be replaced as recalls or deemed lemons. I bought the vehicle november of 2016. |
