Consumer Description

JUST HAD VEHICLE CHECKED TODAY AT COTTMAN TRANSMISSION. AFTER THEY ROAD TESTED AND RAN THEIR ANALYSIS ON THE TRANSMISSION, I WAS INFORMED THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NISSANS 'CVT' TRANSMISSION AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR IT OTHER THAN A $4000 REPLACEMENT. THE TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND WILL NOT SWITCH GEARS PROPERLY. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT OCCASIONS PRIOR TO TAKING IT TO COTTMANS AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM.THERE'S A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR THE 2011 & 2012 NISSAN VERSA FOR THE SAME ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VEHICLE ACCORDING TO MY VIN NUMBER.
