1 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem of the 2013 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 05/01/2021

I was traveling from houston, TX to dallas, TX midday on may 1, 2021. I was approximately 40 miles outside of dallas on I-45 traveling 75 mph when I suddenly felt a sputter and then the speed instantly decreased from 75 mph to 20 mph on a busy major interstate. I was almost hit twice as I tried to exit the interstate with cars traveling upwards of 75+ mph, blowing and honing and cursing me. I made it off the interstate and turned the car off. After making several calls for help, I was instructed by a mechanic to wait a few minutes and restart the car and try to accelerate while on the feeder. So I did, and the car did accelerate enough to get back on the interstate. I had to do this 5 times to get the remainder of the 40 miles to m destination. I took my car to metro dallas Nissan in flower mound, TX on may 3, 2021. I was told the inspection found codes p1778, p0778 found in ecm and tcm found transmission to be slipping and therefore, the cvt assembly needed to be replaced. . . . . = $5523. 00!!!! I have always had my car serviced at Nissan dealerships, maintained the car impeccably, driven with care and I am devastated! although the car is 8 years old with 139k miles, there is no logical reason for the transmission to need replacing except for defective equipment from Nissan. I plan to continue to pursue the matter. I cannot afford to spend $5k on a car I worked so hard to pay off.

4 Automatic Transmission Control Module problem of the 2002 Nissan Maxima

Failure Date: 02/01/2005

2002 nissam Maxima - engine power failed two times on the highway at 37,000 miles and again at 39,000 - never fixed until recall. The engine was recalled and the car fixed at 58,000 miles. The same issue happened again week of January 31, 2005 again now the car has 87,000. Bacause Nissan found no issue (no error code etc. ) the car went unfixed this week. The car is behaving just like it did when the car lost power on the highway twice before the recall. I asked them to replace the same senor they did for the prior recall and they said no because they had no error code when I had the car serviced on febraury 4, 2005. I have not been hurt in this car yet but the car has lost power now three times only when I have been on the highway and I am concerned for my safety and I can't even let my wife use the car for fear it will loose power when she is driving it.
