| Description of the problem | The car went into "limp mode" unexpectedly and does not move. Nissan's older cvt transmission gets hot and to protect itself, nissan has it programmed to shut itself down. As a result, the car will not move, even though it is in gear. This happens after long highway drives (1 hour +) or when climbing long hills. The dealer solution is to continually flush the transmission fluid every 30k miles at a cost of over $200 each time. This is very very very dangerous, if you are making a left-hand turn into traffic after coming to a stop, there is a huge potential to be involved in a collision. Additionally, when on the highway, climbing a hill, the car has again, gone into limp mode and slowed down to a crawl, making the vehicle behind you almost rear-end you. Additionally, nissan's answer has been to extend the warranty on the transmission to 120k, but that is of no value because the dealers will never admit that the cvt needs replacing nor does it pay for the $250 cvt flush. Please look into this, it is very very very dangerous. |
