My cvt transmission slips when I first start to drive (cannot go over 20 miles an hour. ) after warming up it starts to respond. When driving on expressway you can feel the transmission slip and the car lags/lunges. Nissan repair cannot get an "error code" from their machine when testing but acknowledges the problem. They refuse to service the car until it codes. Nissan consumer affairs acknowledges the problem and will not provide assistance.
During my drive while exiting off the highway. The vehicle jumped/sped up on its own as if I accelerated. Felt like a transmission slip. While approaching my exit, car just died out. I was able to steer off and put on my emergency hazard flashers. I tried to start the car, and it just cranked. I waited approx. Ten minutes and I was able to continue slowly until the car died out again. Experienced some hesitation along the drive home and with no warning, just a check engine light illuminating, the car died again.
