Description of the problem | Nissan issued a "campaign" due to a class action lawsuit settlement where the cvt transmission was malfunctioned which cause shuddering in the vehicle. The vehicle would shake while driving at 20mph. After bringing the issue to the attention of the dealership they could not determine what was wrong with the vehicle. On 2/28/17 the vehicle completely immobilized on the interstate in the middle of traffic nearly causing a tragic accident involving both myself and my children. Nissan failed to send correspondence advising of the ctv update which caused the issue to go unresolved and ultimately causing the fail of the transmission. This issue should be rectified with models containing the ctv transmission. Nissan has just advised the total cost of repairs would cost me a total $4,800. 00 for their negligence of sending the proper correspondence regarding the campaign. They should buy back this car and all others like it as this can cause tragic accidents. |
