CAR WAS STUDDERING. GRADUALLY GOT WORSE .WOULD HESITATE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP DONT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN T- BONED. NOW TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY BLOWN. PAID 12K FOR A CAR SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A FEW GRAND LAYING AROUND

MY CARE WAS SHUTTERING AND NOT SHIFTING UP AND DOWN AS SHOULD. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND PAUSE AT TAKE OFF. COULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY OR SAFELY TO GET ON HIGH WAYS OR ON NORMAL ROADS. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMS TO WANT TO SHUT OFF AT TIMES AND PAUSES WHEN ACCELERATING THE GAS PEDAL. VERY DANGEROUS AND THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT GOOD. I TOOK IT TO DEALER JANUARY 2018 AND IT WAS REPROGRAMMED BUT IT WENT RIGHT BACK TO DOING THE SAME, SLIPPING,SHUTTERING SHAKING,PAUSING DURRING ACCELERATING, ON HIGHWAY, DURING TURNS AND GOING FROM COMPLETE STOP, AND WHILE DRIVING ON CITY ROADS. TOOK BACK TO DEALER HAD DIAGNOSED AND ITS SAID TO NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO FIX THEIR DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION.. THE CAR HAS HAD IT'S NORMAL SERVICES.

I STARTED THE CAR AND WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, AND WAS TOLD #P0757 TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION ( P R N D L INPUT) # P0705 PARK/NETURAK S/W.

EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH CVT TRANSMISSION WHEN DRIVING. TRANSMISSIONS 'JERKS', 'KNOCKS', 'PULLS',

TRANSMISIN IS FAILING. I REPORT FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH CARMAX, THEY STATE TO MAKE A REPORT SINCE SUPPOSEDLY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A NISSAN DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER OF 2018. I NOTICED AT THE END OF JANUARY 2019 THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS 'SHIFTING' GEARS, ACCELERATING AND THE RPMS WOULD REV, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. IT TUGGED, AND JERKED. I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT IN FEBRUARY 2019. I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES SHOWING UP AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AND I QUOTE 'TOTALLY FINE AND SAFE TO DRIVE. THEN ON MARCH 28, 2019 THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING WORSE ACCELERATION ISSUES, THIS TIME ALSO AT SLOWER SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL OUT AND NOT ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. NO ERROR LIGHTS WERE PRESENT. IT WOULD KEEP JERKING, AND TUGGING. A LOUR WHIRLING NOISE WAS ALSO HEARD. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP, THE NEXT DAY THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS BLOWN, AND WOULD NEED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $4200 TO REPAIR. I PAID $5600 CASH FOR THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2018.

ON THE MORNING OF MARCH 4TH 2019, AFTER EXISTING THE EXPRESS WAY MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO SLOW DESPITE BEING ON THE ACCELERATOR. AFTER STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, AND I BEGAN TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD ONLY ROLL. THE VEHICLE HAD LOST POWER AND WAS AT A SLOW ROLL. I CONTINUED TO PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AT IT WAS AS IF THE CAR WAS DEAD. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND I SENT THE CAR TO THEM ON A FLATBED ON TUESDAY. AFTER A DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND WHAT HAD CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT SENT A SIGNAL SAYING 'I WAS ON THE BREAK AND NOT THE GAS". ON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE I ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE MECHANIC, I EXPRESSED MY CONFUSION BECAUSE THERE WERE NO INDICATION OF AN INOPERATIVE LIGHT BULB OR AN INDICATOR IN THE VEHICLE TO SUBSTANTIATE ANY FAILURE. I WAS TOLD "THERE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ANY WARNING OR INDICATION" BY THE MECHANIC. I CONTACTED NISSAN, A REPRESENTATIVE FOLLOWED UP AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME AFTER TALKING TO THE REPAIR SERVICE. WHEN THEY DID CONTACT ME AGAIN REGARDING MY CONCERNED ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. I RAISED THE QUESTION OF HOW CAN A VEHICLE LOSE POWER AND COME TO A STOP WITHOUT NO INDICATION AND I WAS TOLD "THEY DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS". THE CAR MALFUNCTION PUT MY LIFE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND NISSAN HAVE NEGLECTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE VEHICLE IS FAULTY.

VEHICLE IS TUGGING AND MISFIRING. VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE EFFICIENTLY FROM A START POSITION OR WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN REACHING AROUND 20 MPH THE RPM'S INCREASE AND DO NOT COME DOWN. I NEED TO SWITCH THE CAR TO NEUTRAL FOR IT TO SWITCH GEARS. BUT THEN AT AROUND 50-60 MPH THE RPM'S DO NOT DROP AND THE CAR STARTS TUGGING AND MISFIRING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AND BECOMES WORSE WHEN DRIVING IN HIGHWAYS OR FREEWAYS.
