| Description of the problem | While driving 70 mph on the highway my vehicle all of a sudden lost acceleration which resulted in my nearly being into an accident with a tractor trailer truck and other vehicles behind me. My foot was pressing the gas pedal to the floor and the vehicle dropped down to 40 mph and stayed there for some time. This happened numerous times while i was driving home with my daughter and i no longer felt safe using the vehicle. I did a search on google and found that hundreds of others were having the same issue which was the result of the cvt transmission but that nissan was making the consumer pay to install these "cooler kits". Not only are these vehicles with these transmissions unsafe and ticking timebombs; it is unfair that nissan is making the consumers responsible for fixing an issue they are well aware of. We're trusting that our vehicles are safe enough to transport our families and children in and they aren't!! My daughter and i both could have been in a serious car accident due to this cvt transmission issue that nissan is well aware of. Please do something about this and hold nissan accountable before someone loses their life. These vehicles are not safe!! |
