Consumer Description
MY CAR TRANSMISSION IS UNSTABLE. I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN MAXIMA WITH 88K MILES AND CHECK ENGINE SOON SENSOR CAME UP. MY CAR ON STREETS WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND EVENTUALLY WOULD STALL. RAN DIAGNOSTIC, P1778 CODE FOR TRANSMISSION STEP MOTOR REPLACEMENT. REPLACED THIS PART AND TRANSMISSION STILL GIVING ISSUES. MY CAR HAS STALLED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR, VERY HAZARDOUS. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR PROPERLY, WONT PICK UP ON SPEED UNTIL LATE , CAUSING RPMS TO RISE DRAMATICALLY. I'VE READ ONLINE IN COUNTLESS POSTS THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN NISSANS ARE TERRIBLE. THIS IS A NISSAN ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. VERY UNSAFE FOR NISSAN DRIVERS WITH CVT TRANSMISSION. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION AND I FEEL THAT NISSAN SHOULD HONOR A TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT FOR ALL WHO HAVE COME VICTIM TO THEIR FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS. THESE FAULTY ISSUES POSE A THREAT TO THE DRIVERS, PASSENGERS, AND ALL WHO USE THE ROADS FOR DRIVING, PEDESTRIAN WALKING AND DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS. *TR
