Possible cvt transmission over-heating/fail-safe issue? I was on the highway after driving for 2 hours and my engine started making a 'whirring' noise and I had trouble accelerating. The speed limit was 70 but as much as I tried to accelerate, it would barely get passed 50mph. This almost caused an accident with a semi-truck as we approached a hill because I could barely get up it. I had to pull off the highway and let the car rest for a while. I had to drive another 2 hours to get home and after another hour, it did the same thing. Soon after, I took it to the dealer and they said the only thing they could suggest was to give me a new transmission! I got a second opinion from a transmission repair shop and they said that possibly adding a secondary cooling system would help but they couldn't guarantee that would fix the issue. From my research, it seems that a reason for this happening is that the cvt transmission produces too much heat for the cooling system to handle and eventually goes into a fail-safe mode that caps the acceleration power of the car, in order to protect the transmission from being damaged. I could understand the need for the fail-safe to kick in in extreme circumstances but not after driving for 2 hours at regular highway speeds. This is not normal and extremely aggravating. I have read that this is a common safety issue which affects both new and older cars and Nissan chooses to do nothing about it. I have not been able to drive my car more than an hour on the highway because it starts to make that 'whirring' noise and I know it won't be long before the fail-safe kicks in. This has been beyond disappointing and even more so that Nissan won't take responsibility to improve their cvt issues and provide the necessary repairs. I own my car outright but the warranty has expired. No option for that route. Very inconvenient.
