Consumer Description

DRIVING DOWN THE 680 FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR MORNING TRAFFIC. IN FAST LANE GOING WITH SPEED OF TRAFFIC (APPROX. 75 MPH) CAR SUDDENLY LOSES POWER. RPM START TO GO CRAZY. CAR DOES NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR. DROPPED FROM 75 MPH TO 0 MPH IN MATTER OF SECONDS. VERY SCARY EXPERIENCE. STUCK ON SIDE OF THE FREEWAY UNTIL TOW TRUCK ARRIVED. HAD A PANIC ATTACK. NO WARNING SIGNS. TOW TO A MECHANIC, MY TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. AT 106K MILES AND A 2013 MODEL, I DID NOT EXPECT THIS. OWE TONS OF MONEY STILL ON THE CAR. HAVE TO PAY $5000 TO FIX THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE WITH A "NEW" CVT TRANSMISSION. SAME CRAPPY, DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION FOR $5K. AND NISSAN ONLY WARRANTIES THOSE FOR 12 TO 18 MONTHS OR 12 OR 18K MILES.
