Pulled out from stop light, zero power. Zero accelerator response. Just creep out super slow at idle and cross the intersection. Very unsafe. Cvt seemed to be in limp-home mode; no lights on the dash, no warning, no vibration or other failure.

Cvt transmission failure ~ safety issue slow to start ~ same as 100's of reports on internet car was at warranty end and Nissan said only fix for small leak was to replace the whole cvt~ as per current pending class actions against Nissan for 2013-2017 cvts being replaced repeatedly with the same failing transmission ended in repair cost to customer. Nissan offered to pay for parts but not labor. Why would I pay to put the same bad part on the car" why is there not a class action for 2012 Nissan" this car had a fuel leak that took many months to repair and find. Then the A/C was not working and mechanic said it might be related to the open ended temp gage for outside temp that this model did not have, only fix he had was electrical tape which I told Nissan was not a good fix and have work order through Nissan for this. A/C was O ring which may relate back to transmission failure the whole thing basically was shaking apart. So the dealer filled the A/C and failed to find oring leak and also failed to find transmission leak when I told them I wanted everything checked per the warranty ending. Master mechanic found it when I brought it back now they want to charge me labor on new cvt only I read cvt break repeatedly and some people had bought 3 or 4 transmissions! there needs to be a recall of all cvts.
