Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THE 2012 NISSAN IN 2015 WITH ONLY 22,000 AND SOMETHING MILES. ONCE THE CAR GOT TO ABOUT 76,000 SOMETHING MILES A WHINING NOISE STARTED. SO NOW WITH THE CAR AT ONLY 83,074 MILES THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T GETTING ANY POWER. SO I TURN TO READ REVIEWS AND TALK TO PEOPLE ONLY TO FIND OUT THE CVT'S AREN'T WORTH ANYTHING AND TO GET THEM REPLACED THE PRICE IS RIDICULOUS AND I CAN'T AFFORD IT. BUT YOU WOULD THINK WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT NISSAN WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD NOT TELL ANYONE TO PURCHASE A NISSAN EVER. ALSO WHEN THE WHINING WOULD TAKE PLACE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS OR MAJOR HIGHWAYS
