THE REAR SUSPENSION BAR (WHEEL TO WHEEL) HAS BROKEN. WHY? IT IS A 5/8 INCH PIPE. I DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR IT TO GET THIS WAY. I JUST DRIVE . WHY IS IT NOT SOLID? THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. NISSAN SHOULD REPAIR AT THEIR EXPENSE. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH AN (NISSAN CERTIFIED) EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES IN 2010. I HAVE HAD THE AUTOMATIC CVT TRANSMISSION REPLACED (UNDER WARRANTY---CVT REPLACED WITH NEW TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY) ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS BETWEEN 2011 AND 2013. IN EARLY 2013, ROSS NISSAN CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND DID NOT REPLACE IT, ONE MONTH LATER I TOOK IT TOO VALLEY HI NISSAN IN VICTORVILLE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY ROSS. THE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: THE CAR WHEN DRIVEN OVER LONG PERIODS OF TIME IN TRAFFIC (1 HOUR OR MORE), THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO WHINE,ESPECIALLY WHEN CLIMBING UP HILLS. ON OVER FIVE OCCASIONS THE CAR SPEED TOPPED OUT AT ABOUT 45-55 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND COULD NOT GO FASTER ON STEEP INCLINES. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SLOW LANE AS IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST THE 45-55 MPH UNTIL THE INCLINE IN THE FREEWAY LEVELED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, THE NISSAN DEALER WOULD EVALUATE IT AND STATE THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAULTY. THE TRANSMISSION WERE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY AROUND 45K, 77K, 109K, IN DOING THE RESEARCH THE FOLLOWING BULLETINS SEEM TO MATCH THE PROBLEM THAT I'VE BEEN HAVING NTB-13-079 AND NTB-12-057 AND THE ONE MENTIONED BY THE DEALER WHICH I COULDN'T FIND ON THIS WEBSITE TSB-NTB10-143A. THEY ALL SEEM TO INDICATE A PROBLEM WITH THE FAIL SAFE FOR THE CVT TRANSMISSION FLUID PROTECTOR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NISSAN WILL NOT REPLACE THIS ISSUE AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON SO MANY CARS. ALTHOUGH MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER SOLVED CORRECTLY. I DON'T TAKE THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY, BECAUSE I AM IN FEAR THAT I WILL BE RAMMED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE AS THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ON OCCASIONS WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING TOO HOT. THE CAR/TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

I WAS REPLACING (MYSELF) THE BROKEN LEFT REAR SPRING AND NOTICED THAT SWAY BAR IS HANGING UNDER THE CAR. IT WAS SNAPPED OFF ON THE RIGHT SIDE NEXT TO THE BUSHING. THE SNAPPING SURFACE WAS ALREADY RUSTY, WHICH TOLD ME THAT IT WAS BROKEN ALREADY SOME TIME AGO. I WAS VERY SURPRISED TO FIND THAT MY SWAY BAR IS NOT ACTUALLY A BAR, BUT A HOLLOW PIPE!!! ADDITIONALLY, MY LEFT REAR SPRING WAS BROKEN VERY STRANGE - ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF A TURN WAS SNAPPED FROM THE TOP... INTERESTING THAT I DID VISIT NISSAN DEALERSHIP FOR TIRE PROPATION - THEY DID NOT FIND NEITHER BROKEN SPRING, NOR SNAPPED SWAY BAR!.. INSTEAD, THEY "STRONGLY RECOMMENDED" THE WHOLE BUNCH OF QUESTIONABLE (AND EXPENSIVE) REPAIRS FOR THE UPCOMING INSPECTION... I HAVE FOUND IN THE INTERNET, THAT BROKEN SWAY BAR IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE (BAD DESIGN - USE OF HOLLOW PIPE INSTEAD OF BAR). ACTUALLY, PEOPLE SUGGEST THAT IT MAY BE THE RIGHT TIME FOR THE RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK I NOTICED SUDDENLY THE CAR WON'T TAKE DRIVE AND JUST KEEP IDLING HIGH WHEN I PRESS GAS. I STOPPED AND CALL A FRIEND TO PICK ME UP. I CALL THE MECHANIC AND HE SEND A TOW TRUCK TO PICK ME UP. LATER HE TOLD ME THE CAR TRANSMISSION WAS BAD. *JS
