general problems of the 2011 Nissan Maxima

Hi I bought car Nissan Maxima 2011 transmission not working well when I driving I stopped at the traffic after that car does not move forward.

My car has less than 113,500 miles and started losing power and coasting, the speed would fluctuate and something sounds loose in the engine. I took it to lithia Nissan in fresno CA on blackstone and they told me the cvt belt needs to be replaced thereby causing the car to need a whole new transmission at $5738. 96. The car was in motion.

The contact owned a 2011 Nissan Maxima. While the contact's son was driving 55 mph, the vehicle accelerated independently and crashed into a tree. All the air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The contact's son sustained shoulder pain, chest pain, and lot of cuts and bruises that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

Intermittent high rpm's with no control of speed. Would happen then not happen for days. Would not go at stop signs/stop lights then surge forward when the transmission (we later learned) finally engaged. On a day it wasn't acting up we took it to where we bought it (dealership) and they immediately notified us that we needed a brand new transmission $5,500. 2,053 miles outside of warranty. We could not believe that when they contacted corporate no consideration for our long-term relationship. Never in a million years did we think it was something so serious as a complete transmission failure. This transmission is supposedly the second (improved) transmission type that Nissan has put in the Maxima with the prior generation of transmissions being given a warranty of up to 10 years or 100,000 miles due to all the prior problems that were supposed to have been fixed with this second generation. Now, they won't even honor the transmission issue with a 62,053 mileage. The transmissions aren't fixed! we have 2 small grandchildren we pick up every other week and regularly use the car to pick them up. How scary to have realized we could have been in an accident with the kids in the car because we had no idea that the transmission on a car with only 62,053 miles would be completely shot. Someone please at your organization look into this.
