Description of the problem | My vehicle is at 95,000 miles, and the rpm has begun fluctuating when it shouldnt be. At idle power, it tends to stay around 1,500-1,800 rpm when it should be between 700-1,300 rpm. On the road, and on the highway, the rpm bounces erratically, and the automatic cvt transmission shifts considerably hard between gears when my speed drifts between 25-45 mph and sometimes near highway speed. Harder than it used to. I have to apply extra braking to stop my car when at stop signs or traffic lights or parking. Turning does fine, though the engine drives harder than it should due to the higher rpms. I have been looking up what causes this, and everyone and everything says my transmission is going out. Automatic transmissions shouldn't be failing before 100,000 miles. This has been happening to loads of other people who own nissans with cvt transmissions. And i believe an investigatiom by the nhtsa is warranted. As well as a recall by nissan to fix this issue that has apparantly been going on for a few years. |
