1st...after 25K miles the car began to shift on its own irregularly, finally at 45K it was noticed that the cvt was not working properly. It was replaced under warranty, even though it was covered it actually cost me 1,800 for an extended warranty. Second problem was a thumping noise as I went over a bump in the front end that was diagnosed as damaged struts and the sub frame links, this was not covered by warranty, and we are stuck with this ongoing faulty problem. It is greater than 4,000 to fix.

There is a clunking noise coming from the front end, as one rolls over a speed bump at slow speed or enters a driveway. The noise began after 20,000 miles and has worsened ( now has 65,000). After Nissan inspected the car it was noted the sub-frame links and struts with strut mount assembly are faulty. Nissan forums are full of complaints regarding the same problem.

As I was entering an on ramp to 676 East in philadelphia, pa, I heard a crunch (metal on metal) in my front passenger side. I attempted to straighten out my car after the slight right turn and my right tire was not reacting to my turning of the steering wheel. I hit the brake a bit and tried to slow the car when my car started to fish tail. At this instance I gave the vehicle some gas to try and regain control of the vehicle, but I was already in a spin that caused me to completely lose control and I attempted to gain control, but I was unsuccessful. As the car spun past 360 degrees, I went over an island and came to an abrupt stop once I took out the stop sign on this island. Luckily no body was hurt and I managed to not hit any vehicles or pedestrians. After several hours waiting for a two truck and philadelphia police, the vehicle and myself made our way to a body shop in lansdale, pa. After examination from the mechanics at this body shop (J.L. freed) I was told that the strut assembly in my front right passenger side was in 3 pieces. This was evident to me that something mechanically went wrong as I was making that slight right on the evening of July 23, 2008. Now, I was given my estimate for the damages and the parts that need to ordered and replaced. I feel that Nissan needs to be made aware of this event as I was just at a Nissan dealer (montgomeryville Nissan) 3 weeks prior (July 05, 2008) to have my car inspected. I have yet to find out if montgomeryville Nissan saw any type of potential failure in this specific strut assembly that malfunctioned and split apart causing my accident. Nissan needs to be aware of this incident as this could have resulted in a fatality of myself or another if I was say on the highway this strut assembly decided to fall apart.
