| Description of the problem | Vehicle was on the interstate( going home after family vacation) going 70 mph when without warning the car would not accelerate, in fact the car dropped down speed rapidly. Again without warning we were in the middle of fast moving traffic and could not gain speed. Eventually pulling over, letting the transmission cool off. This is a problem with the cars cvt transmission and once it overheats it puts itself into " limp mode" so it doesn't kill itself? This is a huge safety concern and nissan needs to recall this part. I spoke tot he service technician and he says that i need to bring it in to diagnose it even though he is about 99% sure that this is the problem and that nissan will pay to fix it ( i think by putting in a cooler or replacing the trans) but that there are 15 vehicles ahead of me at the current moment and the parts are backordered at least for 3 weeks. Nissan further goes to say that a rental car is not an option? How is this a consumers fault? How can nissan get away with this? I live in the mountains and i cannot drive this car and because nissan is backed up on making parts to make their cars work, that becomes my problem? I have asked for a regional specialist and have been assigned a case number but have yet to talk to anyone and this is now going on four days. Meanwhile i have an unsafe car that i cannot drive and pay money for every month. This part needs to be recalled so others are informed and no one is caught off guard when your car suddenly doesn't go. |
