Consumer Description

WHILE FAMILY TRAVELING, CAR BEGAN TO SKIP AND VIBRATE AND SLOW DOWN. THEN COULD NOT PRESS GAS PEDAL AND MAINTAIN SPEED TO GET OFF ROAD IN A EXCESSABLE AREA WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENT BY OTHERS NOT REALIZING THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND IT DID HAPPEN QUICKLY SO OTHERS HAD LITTLE TIME TO RESPOND. THIS HAPPENED ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN BUSY SECTION. AFTER TOWING BACK TO TOWN, IT WAS FOUND TO BE A FAILED CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM BY NISSAN FOR MANY YEARS AND THEY EVEN EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON MODELS UP TO 2010 BUT SINCE MINE IS 2012, IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS EXTENSION?
