Description of the problem | Transmission failure. It is a known issue with models with their original cvt transmission, but rather than issue a recall, they're extending warranties and fixing as they break. This left me with no power on a state highway that had speed limits of 75mph. I managed to make it to the shoulder to be stranded for an hour waiting for a tow truck. This is extremely unsafe and if it's a known issue, i'm not sure why they're not preventing these scenarios. I was going about 70mph in the center lane of a 3 lane highway when suddenly my car jerked and then wouldnt accelerate. |
