Consumer Description

NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE PRIMARILY DURING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, THE CVT TRANSMISSION BEHAVES ERRATICALLY. AT TIMES, ACCELERATION SEEMS NORMAL. AT OTHERS, THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT DELAY WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE FOLLOWED BY A VIOLENT "THUD" AND WILD LURCH FORWARD OF THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN AROUND THIS ISSUE IS TWO FOLD; 1) ACCIDENT AVOIDANCE. IN THE EVENT OF A REQUIRED "FAST START" TO AVERT AN ACCIDENT, THE SIGNIFICANT DELAY IN ACCELERATION FOLLOWED BY THE WILD LURCH, MAY SIGNIFICANT IMPACT THE VEHICLES ABILITY TO AVERT A COLLISION. 2) LONG-TERM DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE OR COMPLETE DRIVE TRAIN. IT IS UNCLEAR TO ME IF/HOW THESE "THUDS" AND WILD LURCHES ARE AFFECTING THE MECHANICAL INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE.
