| Description of the problem | This is a safety issue! - over the past few years, i filed a complaint to the nhtsa and made numerous complaints to the dealer service center about this ongoing problem with the cvt. I commute everyday on the nj turnpike. I have to make stops 'to let the engine/cvt cool off' both going and coming home from work because the car will not accelerate. I barely get over to the shoulder in high speed traffic. Sometimes if there isn't an immediate shoulder, i have to go at a speed of 5-10 mph in high speed turnpike traffic of 60-80 mph to finally get to a shoulder. I already replaced one cvt in this car. This problem has been going on since 2009 when i purchased this car. Now i see in 2014 nissan came up with a 'fix' to replace/install a cooler kit and a trans oil cooler. The two kits cost about $860 without installation. Why is this cost passed on to us the consumers? This is a problem with the nissan cvt design. Nissan should make good on their promise to the customer and recall the vehicles with this cvt issue to replace/install the needed parts without making us pay for their defective vehicle design. Oh and i i said earlier, i have been complaining to the dealer service center for years including 2014 and none of the service techs ever mentioned the cooler kit fixes to me. Their response was that they could not duplicate the problem i was having with the car. I will never buy another nissan and i tell everyone i know about these cvt issues. There are at least 100+ complaints on this site about the cvt. What will it take to get a recall? Why do the consumers have to pay for nissan's faulty cvt design? |
