I WAS DRIVING 75 MPH (THE SPEED LIMIT) ON AS FLAT STRETCH OF TX190 WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO KEEP IT AT 60MPH BY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO RESUME NORMAL DRIVING SPEED BY TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THEN PRESSING IT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 2 YEARS AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS. IT STARTED WITH A HESITATION AND SQUEAL WHEN I LIGHTLY TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR TO ADJUST MY SPEED AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. TWO MONTHS AGO IT STARTED HESITATE-SURGE BEHAVIOR, LIKE IT WAS SEARCHING FOR THE RIGHT GEAR, AT FREEWAY SPEED LIMITS OR WHEN ACCELERATING TO FREEWAY OR CITY SPEED LIMITS. SOMETIMES IT'S SO STRONG I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE, NISSAN HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH ITS CVT FOR YEARS, YET I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO GET 3 NISSAN DEALERS IN 3 DIFFERENT TOWNS TO SERVICE THIS PROBLEM. ONE SAID THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER TWO WOULDN'T EVEN GIVE ME AN APPOINTMENT. THEY BASICALLY SAID THIS IS JUST HOW THIS TRANSMISSION WORKS, LIVE WITH IT. I HAVE THIS INCIDENT AND OTHERS ON DASHCAM FOOTAGE. *TR

I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO NISSAN OF CHANTILLY AFTER THE ENGINE DIED THE DAY BEFORE AFTER IT STOPPED RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF BROADLANDS BLVD, BUT I MANAGED TO GET IT STARTED JUST ENOUGH GET IT TO A PARKING LOT. THEY HAVE CONTACTED ME ONLY ONCE DURING THE ENTIRE TIME THAT THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR. I CONTACTED THEM ON THE 15TH OF NOVEMBER TO BE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED, BUT THEY HAVE NOT INSTALLED IT THOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN AUTHORIZED BY NISSAN, BECAUSE THEY ARE HAVING ENGINEERS COMING TO ASSES THE ENGINE TO FIND OUT WHY IT STOPPED WORKING, THIS APPEARS TO BE A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT TO KEEP FROM REPAIRING AND ACCEPTING OWNERSHIP THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND KEEPING ME OUT OF THE LOOP. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS' AND FILED A COMPLAINT REQUESTING TO HAVE A NEW CAR AS THE DEVALUATION OF THE CAR AND NOT KNOWING WHAT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF BETWEEN THE DEALERSHIP AND NISSAN. I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF THE ENGINE WILL ACTUALLY BE NEW OR REFURBISHED WHICH MAY IMPACT THE LONGEVITY OF THE CAR AND COULD BE VERY WELL BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THESE ENGINES ARE DEFECTIVE AND MAY BE A PART OF HIDDEN DEFECT ISSUE BETWEEN THE DEALERSHIP(S) AND NISSAN. *TR
