I have pulled into traffic only to have my car not accelerate causing the car behind me to slam on their brakes. Today, the car behind me had to pull over into the shoulder to avoid hitting me. Over the past several years, I've taken my car into Nissan service complaining about a rumbling noise/feeling, the car intermittently fails to and/or hesitates when accelerating. The cause of these symptoms were never diagnosed properly. Now the symptoms occur more frequently. The loss of speed and/or the ability of not gaining speed along with the normal flow of traffic could cause somebody to hit and/or kill me! this is very dangerous, today I was lucky by not getting hit. A few weeks ago, because the symptoms happens more consistently Nissan diagnosed the problem as a transmission (cvt) issue. Although they have admitted a defect in their cvt transmissions, they refused to repair it because it's out of warranty. I have records which shows I took my car to several different Nissan service depts. Complaining about this issue when the transmission was under warranty. This is a major safety issue, just doing a quick google search, I discovered Nissan's cvt has allegedly been blamed for a couple of deaths and multiple car accidents. It's a hazard to drive my vehicle, and Nissan should recall and replace all of these transmissions. As I said previously, today I was lucky, the next time I may not be! attached: unfortunately after my near miss incident this morning the other driver kept going so I don't have any documentation to provide. But I did attached an ongoing email thread I have with Nissan consumer affairs which basically captures the communication I've had with them up until this point. The only thing missing is on July 5, 2017 I received a call from wade (Nissan consumer affairs) stating they still are not going to replace the transmission.
I have owned two Nissan vehicles. The first Nissan I owned was an 08 altima that had a transmission issue at 25,000 miles. My current Nissan is an 09 Murano. This vehicles transmission started to make noise at 116,000 miles. At the time I brought it into a shop and was told that Nissan has a lot of transmission issues. Because I was told that my warranty was 60,000 miles, I did not bring my vehicle to Nissan. After a few months we decided to look up if there were any recalls. My husband found on the Nissan site that due to issues they had with the cvt transmission they extended their warranty from 60,000 miles to 120,000 miles. We were never notified of this. I immediately brought my car into Nissan and had them look at it. They said my transmission was bad and never mentioned the warranty. I called Nissan of north America's customer service and had my case reviewed. They advised me that there wasn't a recall but only a warranty extension. They offered to pay 50% since I was now at 123,000 miles. I let them know I had documentation showing I had the issue prior but they have not done anything further.
