WHEN STOPPED CAR STARTS A SMELL LIKE GAS
MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT BLINKING ALL THE TIME, WHEN I TOOK TO THE DEALER THEY ADVICE ME TO REPLACE AIR BAG AND SENSORS IT COST MORE THAN $2000.00. A FUEL GAUGE LIGHT ON DASH BOARD IS DROPPED WHEN IT'S FULL TANK.
INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION & DECELERATION WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, PUTTING IN DRIVE OR REVERSE HAS EXTREME LOSS OF ACCELERATION WITH ENGINE RPM GOING WELL ABOVE THE NEEDED RPM (3000-4000) TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD.
FUEL GAUGE READING IS ERRATIC AND UNRELIABLE WHEN DRIVING AT STEADY SPEED. IT JUMPS ERRATICALLY BY AS MUCH AS HALF A TANKFUL, BACK AND FORTH.
CVT ENTERS LIMP MODE AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING 65+ MILES PER HOUR. I LOSE A LOT OF POWER WHEN THAT HAPPENS CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BE UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OR GO OVER 3K RPMS.
WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE CAR THERE IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION WHEN IT OVER HEATS, IT SHUTS DOWN AND WILL NOT ALLOW ACCELERATION. THIS IS ALSO STATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL…

WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THIS CAR SLOWED DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH I PURCHASED THE CAR THERE IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION WHEN IT OVER HEATS, IT SHUTS DOWN AND WILL NOT ALLOW ACCELERATION. THIS IS ALSO STATED IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, BUT IS NOT APPARENTLY VIEWED AS A SAFETY ISSUE. ( DON'T AGREE), BUT IT SEEMS SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR DIE IN ORDER FOR NISSAN TO RECALL THESE TRANSMISSION'S, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THE LATEST BEING LAST FRIDAY 05/21/2005 WHEN I WAS STOPPED FOR RED LIGHT AND COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE.
