IT STARTED WITH THE CAR NOT GOING OVER 40 MPH THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AND THEN IT WOULD BE OK. I DIDN'T GET CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY WARNING SIGNS, SO I DROVE IT LIKE THAT FOR 5 MONTHS UNTIL THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, AND IT WON'T GO OVER 20 MPH. STILL NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE TIMING CHAIN WAS OUT ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE REPAIR COST WAS OVER $8000. A 12 YEAR-OLD CAR WITH 114,000 MILES IS HEADED TO THE JUNK YARD. I WAS THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THE CAR AND TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF IT BUT SAD TO SEE IT GO SO SOON.

I HAD TO REPLACE MY TRANSMISSION JAN 2018 WITH NO ASSISTANCE FROM NISSAN. NOT EVEN A BREAK ON REPLACEMENT PRICING. 2007 MAXIMA WITH 78000 NOT DRIVEN HARD OR ON THE HIGHWAY FOR VERY LONG UNTIL 2 YEARS AGO. NOW THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION IS WHINING AND FLUCTUATION IN RPM'S. LAST MONTH I WAS PULLING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER ACROSS 3 LANES AND MY CAR ACCELERATED TO 2-3 MILES AND HOUR AND NO FASTER. I WAS THANKFUL I LEFT A LOT OF ROOM OTHERWISE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A NASTY ACCIDENT. I ONLY HAVE 7000 MILE ON THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS WAS NOT HELPFUL AT ALL, THE LADY I SPOKE WITH SEEMS QUITE INDIFFERENT IN OUR CONVERSATION. I'M SURE SHE GETS A LOT OF ANGRY CALLS. I SPOKE WITH A TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP THAT TOLD ME THESE TRANSMISSIONS FAIL ALL OF THE TIME EVEN THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. PRICE GOUGING AND SELLING BAD PARTS JUST TO INCREASE THEIR PROFIT MARGINS KNOWING NO INTERVENTION WILL HAPPEN.
THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED IN AUGUST 2016. THE CAR WAS JERKY AND THEN WOULDN'T GO INTO ANY GEAR ONCE I PULLED IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NISSAN KNEW THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT'S - AND HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 5 YEARS AND 50,000 MILES TO 10 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES. THE CVT IN MY CAR WENT AT 9…

THE CVT TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED IN AUGUST 2016. THE CAR WAS JERKY AND THEN WOULDN'T GO INTO ANY GEAR ONCE I PULLED IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. NISSAN KNEW THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE CVT'S - AND HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FROM 5 YEARS AND 50,000 MILES TO 10 YEARS AND 100,000 MILES. THE CVT IN MY CAR WENT AT 9 YEARS (UNDER THE 10 YEARS) BUT OVER THE 100,000 MILES. SINCE NISSAN KNEW THERE WERE PROBLEMS, THEY SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THE TRANSMISSIONS INSTEAD OF EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. IT COST ME OVER $3,000 - WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN HANDLED WITH A RECALL. NISSAN ALSO STATES THAT THEY WILL LOWER THE COST OF THE REFURBISHED CVT AND THE REPAIRS IF OUT OF WARRANTY - YET THE PRICE WAS $3,119.60.
MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR A SQUEAKY NOISE IN THE ENGINE, THEY TOLD ME THE TIMING CHAIN WAS FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

MY ABS/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILED. DUE TO THE SYSTEM FAILING THE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT THE RECOMMENDED SPEED. DUE TO THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM FAILING MY VEHICLE DECELERATED QUICKLY CAUSING A UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR ME, MY PASSENGER AND THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME. FORTUNATELY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WAS AT A SAFE DISTANCE AND NO ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO SAFE LOCATION BECAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO NOT SHIFT FROM A LOW GEAR. THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE JUST FOUND THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. YET THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSIBLE ACTION TAKEN BY NISSAN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. *TR
