| Description of the problem | First off, there was not an accident... But there surely would be if this car were to be driven in its present state. Essentially, catastrophic failure of the cvt (transmission), so that, when sitting at a stop light, stepping on the accelerator would result in increase in rpm but no forward motion at first. It might eventually engage, but operation is totally unpredictable. Even though this is a well known issue and nissan did double the warranty they failed to notify owners claiming that because it wasn't a recall, it was not required. Vehicle is currently 10,000 miles outside the *new* warranty mileage limit, but had owner been notified about this impending failure, repairs could have been effected inside the warranty period. Nissan has declined to offer any assistance whatsoever, but does hope that we have "a nice day". Will it take loss of life or limb for nissan to "do the right thing"? |
