Transmission high rev before shift, about to go out, dosnt accelerate, jerks hard makes loud noise when it jerks while moving, turning, dosnt accelerate while turning.
While traveling on I-95 in miami at 55 mph, my car suddenly stopped accelerating and wouldn't pass 20 mph. I pushed down on the gas peddle and nothing would happen. I was extremely lucky to be on the middle lane and quickly shifted over to the far right on the emergency lane and turned off the car. I turned it back in and it worked fine. I didn't use the car for two days, and then when I tried again, it was giving the same issue where the car wouldn't accelerate and was making a weird noise which I never expierned before. I took to my trusted mechanic and he advised it was a cvt issue. I had to get the car towed to a certified Nissan dealership as Nissan agreed to consider possible financial assistance. Upon completion it was confirmed it was a cvt transmission issue and it would cost about $5,000 to repair with labor costs. Nissan has to given me back my car and it's now the 20th of February. My car has 99,450 miles, and has been in excellent condition with my maintenance. It's scary and unfortunate that we have been sold a defective car and Nissan won't admit to it. There's a class action lawsuit open and still in court. I got an attorney involved who has taken up my case for further action against Nissan. Consumer should be advised to stop driving this car ASAP! I am now looking to get a new car as I don't feel safe anymore driving this and I need a reliable and safe vehicle for work.
