Car was fine. Had it serviced 4 months ago and was told car was in good condition. Today got an check engine light. Had it towed now being told it's a transmission issues and will cost 4000 to replace. I just financed this car about a year and a half. I owe finance company 343 a month. I was told it should be under recall because the 2016 Nissan cvt transmissions were recalled but mine is not showing. What can I do?both jobs have been cut due to covid. . It's christmas time and now a transmission on a fairly new car. This car gave me no warning. . No noises. . . Nothing at all to indicate my transmission needed service. One day it's fine next day my transmission is out. Please help. I can not afford a 4000 repair on a car I just bought last year plus pay a car note. Can my car be considered apart of the 2016 transmission recall? my car stop running on me in the middle of the road in a high traffic area. I almost got hit from the back twice due to my car sitting in middle of high traffic area/ lane.
While driving towards the end of the trip 250 miles, was cruising about 15 mph, car was no longer responding to acceleration, engine making loud noise as if struggling and rpm increased about 5000, I drove like this for about 2 miles, no check engine light came on. Next day car drove fine. Had two similar episodes in the following months while driving in traffic, car with suddenly slow down and not responding to acceleration, rpm increased 5-6k, these lasted less than a minute and then drove normal again. Last week had a major episode, while in traffic at 40 miles an hour, was not accelerating again and speed stuck at 40 mph. And rpms increased to about 5 to 6000, no check engine light came on, engine sound as if struggling. Car is now jerking when reversing, only has 44,800 miles. I did some research and they are several videos on youtube with similar model Altima experiencing similar problems, most people think is the cvt transmission that is faulty and overheating.
