POWER TRAIN
I was driving onto the highway trying to accelerate past 40mph and the car started jerking really bad. I almost rear ended another vehicle luckily I was able to just avoid them . I quickly pulled over and cut the car off when I cut it back on the check engine light came on. it was around 2am so I drove it home the best That I could and took it to get diagnosed the next morning. I was told the transmission had sent about 4 failure codes and that I would need a new one. The need of a new transmission was confirmed for my the Nissan dealership themselves. My car has never done anything remotely like that before hand. I felt my life was put at grave risk and others around me. Knowing my car had began to had a jerking motion of which is almost very uncontrollable.

ENGINE
I WANT TO BE REIMBURSE FOR HAVING TO PAY TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I GOT MY CAR WITH 30 SOMETHING MILES ON IT, BOUGHT IT OFF THE LOT, BECAUSE I WANTED A GOOD CAR THAT WOULDN'T NEED REPAIRS OR BREAK DOWN ON ME. COME TO FIND OUT, NISSAN HAD A KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON THEIR CARS AND WAS PAYING FOR SOME REPAIRS BUT BECAUSE MINE WAS A FEW MILES OVER THE "CUT OFF" NUMBER OF MILES, MINE WAS NOT COVERED. I HAD TO PAY 3 THOUSAND + DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIXED, WHICH I DIDN'T HAVE. I NEEDED TO GET A LOAN TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ON A GARBAGE CAR THAT YOU ALL KNEW HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND AGREED TO PAY FOR SOME TRANSMISSIONS BUT BECAUSE MINE WAS A FEW MILES OVER YOUR ALLOWED MILES, YOU DID NOT PAY WHEN YOUR THE MULTI MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WHO MADE THESE CARS INCORRECTLY!! YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR MY REPAIRS IF YOU PAID FOR EVERYONE ELSE'S TRANSMISSIONS!! I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 6 KIDS WHO DOES NOT HAVE 3 THOUSAND + DOLLARS LAYING AROUND FOR A CAR THAT I THOUGHT WAS A GOOD CAR!!! PLEASE REIMBURSE ME ESPECIALLY DURING THESE HARD TIMES WITH NO MONEY DURING COVID -19. DON'T FORGET YOUR THE MILLIONAIRES WITH DUMB POOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF TRYING TO GET AHEAD BY BUYING A CAR OFF THE LOT, THINKING THEY WON'T HAVE ANY CAR ISSUES!!

MY CAR STARTED JERKING WHILE DRIVING. AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE, IT WOULD SUDDENLY GO INTO LYMPH MODE WHILE BEING OPERATED. THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE WHILE I WAS PREGNANT. I CALLED NISSAN AND THEY SAID I COULDN'T BE HELPED BECAUSE I WAS PASSED 84,000 MILES. HOWEVER I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SAID SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS, AND NOW HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR A TRANSMISSION

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH RPMS GOING UP, BUT LOSING POWER, JERKING, AND THEN ON 01-14-21 IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET INTERSECTION AND I ALMOST GOT T-BONED. I WAS TOLD BY NISSAN TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THEY WOULD REVIEW THE WARRANTY ISSUE IF IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN SUED FOR. THE MILEAGE WAS 108,000 WHEN IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BECAUSE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED TRANSMISSION NEEDS REPLACED FOR JUST UNDER $4000. CALLED NISSAN CORP BACK WHO SENT THE INFO UP FOR REVIEW. ON 01-19-21 I RECEIVED A CALL FROM COLLEEN WHO STATED SHE IS THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY 'HAVE FULFILLED THEIR OBLIGATION'. EACH QUESTION WAS ANSWERED WITH THE SAME VERBATIM RESPONSE. I ASKED TO HAVE THE CASE BE ESCALATED ABOVE COLLEEN DUE TO THE FACT THE TRANSMISSION WENT BAD EARLY DUE TO THEIR FAULTY CVT SYSTEM THEY CONTINUE TO SELL AND HAVE NOT RECALLED. AFTER BEING TOLD SHE DOES NOT HAVE A BOSS, COLLEEN STATED THEY WILL GIVE ME THE SAME ANSWER AS SHE MAKES THE DECISION AND THEY HAVE MET THEIR OBLIGATION. I ASKED SHE ESCALATE IT ANYWAYS. I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM ANYONE ELSE AT THE NISSAN CORP.
