Consumer Description

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND STARTED JERKING. I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO INVESTIGATE AND THE CAR HESITATED TO SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE OR REVERSE. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE CVT TRANSMISSION AND HAVE COME TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING: THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT CREATES AN UNREASONABLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND CREATES THE RISK OF A CRASH; IT IS INEVITABLE THAT AN INDIVIDUAL WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO A COLLISION CAUSED BY THIS SAFETY DEFECT. NISSAN'S CVTS EXPERIENCE SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED SHAKING AND VIOLENT JERKING (COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS 'JUDDERING' OR 'SHUDDERING') THE VEHICLES HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH.
