| Description of the problem | On 11/20/14 i was on highway 80 driving from roseville ca to palo alto ca . I was in the far left lane (4 total) in heavy traffic doing aprx 50 mph. With no warning i couldn't accelerate and the engine only revved when i pushed the gas pedal. I cut off several cars to get to the right side shoulder. After i called aaa a chp showed up to see if i was ok. I explained what happened and a tow truck would arrive in about 2 hour due to traffic. The officer said because of my location i needed to remain in my car until a tow truck arrived. He also said he would remain with me until help arrived. I was towed to a shop in fairfield ca (closest city). Paid $3,758 to have an independent shop install a new nissan cvt transmission. Found out later nissan had extended the power train warranty to 10 years or 120,000 miles. My car was well within the warranty requirements. I have spoken to 2 nissan representatives and both told me because they didn't do the repair there was nothing they would do. I explained i was from oregon and needed to be home by saturday to work. The shop that did the work had me on the road the next day. They said because they installed a nissan transmission it would be warranted by nissan. I asked if i could send an email to someone higher up explaining my situation and was told there was no need. I asked if they were recording our conversations and was told yes. It is my understanding it's illegal to record a conversation without prior notice or approval. I have checked online and amazed how many people have had similar problems with nissan. I don't know if anyone has been injured because of this but what is happening is very dangerous and nissan has known about faulty cvt transmissions for quite some time. |
