My Maxima is only 4 years old and it started jumping and hesitating while driving. The Nissan repair shop said that my transmission is bad and it looks like 'glitter' inside.they have to replace it. Apparently Nissan has a class action lawsuit against them because of these cvt transmissions. They are not acknowledging the problem with the Maximas because they said it is not happening as often as in the smaller cars. My car is a little bit out of warranty so they still made me pay a portion of the transmission even though they knew it would break. Its not right they should be covering a 4 year old cars transmission going bad in full when they know about the problems.
Car idling, jerking and hesitating at 30mph. When accelerating it does not. The car is going but from a slow speed going to a higher mph, it will stay stuck and if you floor it, it just won't move. This is dangerous. It's happened on the freeway three times. Now the brake fluid is leaking everywhere. This is a second issue. Transmission. Engine. Cvt, ECM issue and mass air flow sensor and pvc sensor must not be on correctly. I have videos. The service dept has seen them but they can't seem to duplicate the issue.
