NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION EXPERIENCING ISSUES, BEING VERY UNSAFE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD NORMALLY, THE CAR STARTED REVVING VERY HIGH. AFTER PULLING OVER AND TURNING THE CAR OFF, THEN TURNING IT BACK ON, IT CONTINUED TO REV OVER 3,000 RPM AT ABOUT 10-15 MPH AND NEVER "SHIFT" INTO HIGHER GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE, AND TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON SOLVED THE ISSUE. IT WAS SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP WITH NEW CVT FLUID, BUT NOW THE PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED AND HAS NOT GONE AWAY WITH SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON. IT MOST RECENTLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS NEARBY, AND I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED.

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY- THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THE CAR CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR IT IS VERY SLUGGISH TO RUN. WHEN IT IS IDLING IT APPEARS TO WANT TO STOP RUNNING. WHEN YOU BEGIN TO MOVE FORWARD- IT HAS A HARD TIME GOING. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO PLANET NISSAN FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS- FOR THIS CONTINUAL PROBLEM- THEY CONTINUALLY WANT TO DENY ANYTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS DRIVING ON THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY IN LAS VEGAS, NV I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE MY SPEED SO THAT I COULD GET ON THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR WAS HAVING TROUBLE PICKING UP SPEED, WHEN MY CAR FINALLY JUST DIED. I THEN TRIED TO SWITCH TO PARK SO THAT I COULD RESTART MY CAR AND MOVE OVER MORE TOWARDS THE SHOULDER. IT TOOK ME THREE TRY'S, WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED UP AGAIN. MY CAR HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS, I HAD JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGED EARLIER IN THE DAY AND CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS IN DIRE NEED TO BE FIXED, NOTHING WAS BROKEN, AND MY CAR WAS UP TO PAR ON MAINTENANCE. I CALLED NISSAN'S SERVICE PLACE ON SATURDAY AS WELL AFTER THIS HAD HAPPENED AND GOT THE RUN AROUND OF WHAT TO DO.

I DECIDED TO STOP THE CAR...HOWEVER CAR DID NTO STOP...I PUT IN PARK, TURNED ENGINE OFF...DID NOT STOP...I UESED EMERGENCY BRAKE...DID NOT STOP...I FELT IT ACCERELATED ON ITS OWN..AND HAD LOSS OF BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS. I SOUNDED THE HORN LOUDLY TO WARN PEOPLE. BUT THE CAR KEPT GOING AND GOING. I AM A SINGLE MOM, AND MY CHILD WAS WITH ME...FOR SAFETY OF LIFE AND PROPERTY... I INTENTIONALLY DROVE INTO A DITCH. I FELT LIKE IT WAS AN UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS ISSUE. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS TO REPORT IT, AND MY CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP . I AM NOT AN EXPERT. I NEED FOR A SAFETY INVESTIGATION INTO MY VEHICLE BY AN INDEPENDENT AGENCY OTHER THAN NISSAN. I AM STILL SHAKEN.. ..UPDATED 02/13/17 *BF...UPDATED 02/22/17 *BF UPDATED 08/10/2017*JS *JS

THIS NISSAN VEHICLE'S CVT TRANSMISSION FAILED UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS REPLACED. THAT TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN IN LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AND BECAUSE IT WAS OUTSIDE THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION'S WARRANTY, THE DEALER NOR NISSAN WILL REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FOR A THIRD TIME WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT THAT WILL LIKELY FAIL AGAIN AND IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NISSAN WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

THEY WINDOW SHADES IN THE FRONT ARE TINY. THEY DO NOT KEEP OUT THE SUN. THEY LET ALL THE SUN ENTER THE CAR SO THAT YOU CANNOT SEE WHEN DRIVING. THEY WENT CHEAP ON THE WINDOW SHADES IN THE FRONT. THEY DON'T PROTECT THE DRIVER. THEY ARE TINY TINY TINY AND I GUESS COST 25 CENTS TO MAKE. THIS IS A CHEAP CAR, BUT SAFETY THINGS MUST BE FAIR FOR THE DRIVERS PROTECTION. *TR

THE HIGH SPEED BLOWER FOR THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEAT IS EXTRELEY LOUD SO THAT A DRIVER CANNOT PROPERLY HEAR OTHER TRAFFIC. THE SOUND IS DEAFENING. I HAVE NEVE RHAD A CAR WITH SUCH A CHEAP LOUD BLOWER TO BLOW HEAT OR COLD AIR. THIS IA S DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HEAR CARS AS WELL AS SEE THEM. VERSA WENT REALLY REALLY CHEAP WITH THE AIR BLOWER SYSTEM WHICH HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD.
