Description of the problem | vehicle began to shudder and nearly stall at low speeds. Vehicle would lose all power, and then suddenly surge. Vehicle returned to abeloff nissan (broadheadsville, pa) , and the mechanic was able to verify the issue. Nissan identified the issue as the cvt transmission and replaced the transmission. On 02/05/2015 this same loss of power was experienced while driving at low speed. My wife was entering roadway and vehicle lost power, nearly causing an accident. The vehicle was taken to the ken pollock nissan dealership in wilkes- barre, pa , and they were eventually able to duplicate the loss of power. Nissan-usa advised the dealership to replace a brake light switch as the brake lights would not go off when parked. I picked up the vehicle from the dealership on 02/16/2015, and the next day the same loss of power occurred three times on a five mile trip. Nissan -usa was contacted and a complaint filed. Nissan has not been able to correct the problem, and have refused to buy back the vehicle. Nissan continues to sell this model year, and i believe this is a major safety issue , and needs to be addressed. |
