Description of the problem | All you have to do is go online and read consumer complaints about various nissan transmission problems. I can tell you from personal experience that people can get hurt or killed in these vehicles. The transmissions in these autos overheat and when this happens acceleration declines. Pedal to the metal you are driving 50 mph on the expressway. Cars are blowing horns. Finally the tranny just goes completely out. Try being in the center lane on i 75 coasting abruptly to a crawl and trying to move over without getting hit by cars driving 70 mph or more. I almost caused a major pileup while fighting to get off road. Read other horror stories online. I have owned all types vehicles in my 64 years but i have never felt like my life was threatened because of mechanical issues. This is not a safe car. Some owners have installed two or more transmissions. Not to mention the cost. Please save lives and make nissan correct this problem. 2009-2013 are the worst. My daughter owns a 2011 nissan sentra. She pulled from a stop sign and had plenty of time but as her car lost acceleration she was almost rear ended by a dump truck.. She called me crying. She has driven for 17 years and was terrified. I read stories of drivers who were attempting to make a left turn and as they sped up to cross the highway their car just creeps out in front of oncoming vehicles. Check with service centers as well and you will realize this is a major issue with nissans. The altimas, the sentras, the rogues, the pathfinders. They have major issues. They need to recall these cvt transmissions and make them safe. I am upset over paying 3500. 00 to repair this car but more upset that company is allowed to play with my life and the lives of others. I have never had a car this unsafe. Thanks for listening. Please check out what i have said. There are plenty more unhappy nissan owners out there. |
