Driving down the freeway, transmission gave out as we were pulling into the exit. Were able to cruise to a read. Cvt complete failure at 95,852 miles. Have always loved Nissan but have had two major issues in the last few months that have left a bad taste.
I was driving and unable to accelerate. The vehicle judders at low speeds. There is a winning sound that comes from the engine. I have had multiple sensors replaced for the cvt but nothing has fixed this issue.
I was driving my 2013 Nissan Quest, when without any warning it stop accelerating, it would nit go forward or backwards. I was stuck in the middle of traffic with a car full of my family this is very dangerous. I noticed that when the a/c is on the car will move forward or backwards. This is dangerous and when moving and you turn right or left the van stops accelerating with out anywarning no check engine nothing . This problem needs to be fixed before a hole family losses there life due to faulty warning and the transmission not working like it should, it sounds like tjhis is an issue with a lot of the same model vans.
Cvt (transmission) began slipping/jerking and disengaging at approximately 121,000 miles. Upon initial start up the slipping/jerking can be noticed. Once vehicle reaches normal operating temperatures (driving conditions), its ability to engage is hit/miss leaving vehicle relatively motionless in middle of intersection after a stop/slow down. This condition leaves vehicle/occupants in a serious hazardous situation, especially attempting to turn through cross traffic.
I'm experiencing whining noise while accelerating and decelerating. I did some research and lots of people complained about the same issue. Nissan did extend the warranty on the earlier models. However, it doens't include my model and year.
While taking my van out of parking lot, the van wouldn't accelerate despite the fact that rpm guage showed proper rpm. I tried to back the van, but same situation. I checked any warning sign such as check engine but there was no such sign. Eventually the van started accelerating very slowly and picked up some speed. I straight reached to glen burnie transmissions shop and their master technician conducted the diagnostic and a drive test. He then informed me that antifreeze from radiator has mixed into transmission and caused the transmission totally damaged. He told me that it need a new transmission and radiator. The estimated cast is $4595 plus tax. I then checked with the local Nissan service and theirik service technician said that it is a very common problem in pathfinder and Quest even without warning. He gave me the repair estimate of $ 7500. I am truly upset with this manufacturer major defect that cause so much economic loss to the customer. I would realy want Nissan to repair this for free. While driving to the transmission shop the van wouldn't pick up acceleration at the traffic lights after stop and all the vehicles behind me were jumbled up and it made a safety hazard for motorists as well as for the pedestrians in the crossing.
We purchased a 2013 Nissan Quest in November 2015. It had around 48-49k miles on it and currently has 99k miles on it. While driving it yesterday, it began to violently shake upon acceleration between 0 and 45mph. It felt exactly like driving over rumble strips. We took it to the closest mechanic, who test drove it before pulling it into the garage to check the axels. When he went to put it in reverse to back it out of the garage, the transmission completely quit. The mechanic informed us at that point that Nissans with the cvt transmission were notorious for having these types of issues. No check engine or transmission lights ever came on.
