Consumer Description

CVT TRANSMISSION FAILURE, MANUFACTURER EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS, 120K MILES BECAUSE THEY USED A BAD PRODUCT. MY VEHICLE HAS 140,000 MILES SO NISSAN DECLINED TO COVER REPAIR COST. MY VEHICLE SHOWED NO SIGN OF ISSUES UNTIL IT SUDDENLY WOULDN'T ENGAGE AT A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT A MANUFACTURE THIS SIZE PUSHES A KNOWN ISSUE UNDER THE RUG INSTEAD OF RECALLING THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES.
