Transmission failed on interstate at approximately 70mph. I was told by the Nissan dealership garage manager that they really don't know why they fail except that they think the transmission overheats due to undersized pump and mesh not allowing enough circulation. Everything was replaced at Nissan's expense, however I have no confidence in the repair. When this happened there was not a single warning light or message that appeared on the dash.
The cvt transmission failed which traveling on the highway. Car decelerated on the highway. I drifted to an exit and managed to get to a park and ride. This presented a serious safety issue on the highway as I tried to drift across a side road to a park and ride
The contact owns a 2017 Nissan Altima. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle decelerated and the check engine indicator illuminated. Also, when accelerating from a stop, the gear did not shift into drive until the accelerator pedal was depressed to the floorboard. The vehicle was taken to Nissan of newnan (678-552-4957, located at 783 bullsboro dr, newnan, ga 30265) where it was stated that the warranty expired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
As I am driving down the interstate my vehicle starts spider and jerk and lose power making it hard to accelerate. Then begins to only rev at a high RPM and not move forward so I automatically assume transmission and after further review of customer complaints and technical service bulletins, I realize that this has been a issue with this manufacturer for many years. And also that many have been refused service from powertain warranties that cover transmission issues on the vehicle!!
