| Description of the problem | While pulling out on a 4 lane highway, my transmission stalled, and i was unable to accelerate my vehicle, causing me to almost be rear ended by a logging truck going 65mph or more. The rpm's of the vehicle will jump to over 5000 while trying to push on the gas without acceleration. I made an appointment with nissan to have diagnostic testing done. They informed me that the cvt transmission is the problem and needs to be replaced, costing $5,000. They informed me that i needed another part (some kind of transmission cooler) to keep the transmission from overheating, which was never communicated to me throughout my ownership. After doing research, i discovered that in 2010, nissan extended their warranty to 5 years/120,000 miles due this cvt problem. I have spoken to the service advisor at the dealership who stated that warranty is for model year 2010 and older and this is not a safety issue. However, i beg to differ. Attempting to pull out into moving traffic, crossing intersections, and cars stalling out in the winter is a major safety issue and could cause serious car accidents and deaths. I have attempted to contact nissan consumer affairs office without any response. I strongly recommend this issue be investigated and considered for a recall. |
