WAS SITTING IN THE CAR CLEANING AND LISTENING TO MUSIC NOT LONG AFTER STARTING THE RADIO KEPT GOING ON AND OFF AND THEN WOULDN'T START BUT MOST LIGHTS CAME ON THE GUY I BOUGHT THE CAR OFF OF SAID HE WAS TOLD IT'S THE BATTERY WHICH HE JUST REPLACED LAST YEAR BUT AFTER CHARGING IT A BIT IT STARTED. BUT AFTER DOING FURTHER RESEARCH APPARENTLY IT'S SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TERMINALS THEY USE ON THIS CAR DRAINING AND DESTROYING THE BATTERY AND THAT IF IT DOESN'T POP UP IN YOUR RECALL [XXX] THEN YOU HAVE TO REPLACE IT AND HAVE IT FIXED WHICH IS OVER $2000 THE CAR ISN'T EVEN WORTH THAT ESPECIALLY WITH THE WEAK SPEAKERS AND OUT OF DATE CD PLAYER NO BLUETOOTH OR REVERSE CAMERA!

POWER TRAIN
I REALIZED I WAS LOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE SAGTIKOS PARKWAY. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART. THE CAR WOULD START, BUT WOULD NOT CHANGE INTO DRIVE, NOR REVERSE (OR WOULD NOT REGISTER). I WAS EFFECTIVELY STRANDED ALONG THE PARKWAY. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY CAR EXPERIENCED -- WHAT I UNDERSTAND TO BE -- TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I PURCHASED THE CAR ONLY SIX (6) MONTHS AGO.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, NOTICED THE VEHICLE START TO SPORADICALLY JERK. ENGINE RPM WOULD JUMP AND THE ACCELERATOR WAS NON RESPONSIVE AT TIMES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED. PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND HAD NO RESPONSE AT ALL. STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTING TO FAIL. CAR IS A 2017 AND HAS LESS THAN 92000 MILES ON IT. EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDS ON THAT YEAR AT 84000 MILES. WITHOUT WARRANTY COVERAGE THE REPAIR IS AROUND $4000. LOOKED ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND FOUND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. NISSAN NEEDS TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY OR ISSUE A RECALL. IT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO BE DRIVING AND LOSE ACCELERATOR RESPONSE ALL TOGETHER
