NHTSA Complaint #10993043 — 2011 NISSAN MAXIMA

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. I COASTED TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. MY CARS TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY FOR TWO HOURS, UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT NISSAN MAXIMA'S WERE RECALLED FROM 2003-2010 FOR CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURES. NISSAN DOUBLED THE WARRANTY (10 YEARS, 120,000 MILES). MY VEHICLE HAD THE SAME CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND I HAD 110,000 MILES WHEN THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. NISSAN PUT THE SAME FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSION IN MY CAR AS THEY DID THE PREVIOUS YEARS. I AM REQUESTING A REFUND FOR REPAIRS AND CAR RENTAL (CVT TRANSMISSION $2,443.87, CAR RENTAL $550.04). UPON REQUEST I CAN PROVIDE RECEIPTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY AND BEEN INJURED OR INJURED SOMEONE ELSE.
