| Description of the problem | On 2 occasions in a week period of time after driving on the highway for about an hour i exited the highway via an exit ramp and stopped at the stop light. When the light turned green, my car would not accelerate even though the car was still in drive and the gas pedal was pressed down. Both times i scooted about 1mph over to the shoulder, placed the car in park then back in drive and it accelerated normally. I brought the car to the dealer, they are replacing the transmission control module at no cost, it is still covered under the nissan extended warranty for the cvt. This issue frightened me and made me feel unsafe in the vehicle. I worry had i needed to stop on the highway and then accelerate and was unable to that i would have been hit. I feel nissan should look further into the cvt issues and perhaps issue recalls as these types of issues make the car unsafe. In my instance the car felt as if it were stuck in park or neutral, it would not shift into drive. I have read online several other complaints concerning cvt issues. |
