2014 Nissan Maxima Power Train

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Maxima. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated and displayed symptoms relating to transmission failure. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the CVT. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but did not assist. The failure mileage was 50,400.

Transmission valve body goes bad.

CVT transmission suddenly gets stuck on a lower "gear", often going from Drive to 2nd, while driving freeway speeds, causing the engine to rev to very high rpm's and the car to quickly loose power and slow down. The power loss is so dramatic it is difficult to change lanes within traffic in order to pull off the freeway to safety. Often the vehicle speed drops by 30 mph or more. I have taken the car into Nissan on numerous times and they tell me I need a new $7000 transmission even though my car only had 60k miles on her when the issue first started. They know they have an issue with this transmission and they have recalled and replaced transmissions for other vehicles withbthe CVT, Altima and Marano, but not the Maxima. They say because it's a beefier transmission, but it is the same faulty component in all the transmissions despite the size of the transmission. Through my research, this isba widespread problem for Maxima owners within the years of this transmission issue.. It is interesting to note that Nissan decreased the powertrain warranty from 100k mi down to 60k mi for the model years that have this CVT issue, and bumped it back to 100k after the issue was resolved for newer model year cars

Driving the car stop and a light. Light turns green and the car inches through the intersection. Pedal is to the floor and nothing happens. Eventually power starts to build up and I can go,but once I get to a light it repeats itself and not power after brake is released.

THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS RESET HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. LOUGHEAD NISSAN (755 S. CHESTER RD - RT 320, SWARTHMORE, PA 19081, (610)328-1500) WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED.

CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED = CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AT 70,000 MILES

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 50,450 MILES. IN MOTION, SLIPPING, JERKING ON CITY STREET. TOP SPEED ABOUT 30-35 MILES PER HOUR.

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

NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION ON 12/05/2018, ABOUT 10:00AM- TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND VIBRATING AND SHAKING OF CAR. PAID ABOUT $350.00 FOR OIL CHANGE AND TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND CHANGE (WHICH THE SERVICE DEPT. SAID I NEEDED FOR TRANSMISSION). THAT SAME DAY ABOUT 5:00PM WHILE ON THE FREEWAY MY CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING, STARTING SHAKING AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER GRADUALLY TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I GOT IT TOWED BACK TO THE SAME NISSAN SERVICE CENTER FOR THEM TO EVALUATE. ON THE NEXT DAY THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAYS THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. NISSAN HAS COME BACK TO SAY THAT THEY WILL PAY FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION MINUS 20%, WHICH WILL BE $800.00 BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO PAY BACK THE 308.00 THEY CHARGED FOR THE TRANSMISSION WORK DONE THE FOLLOWING DAY. I HAVE JUST BEGAN TO REALIZE HOW WIDESPREAD A PROBLEM THIS NISSAN CVT TRANSMISSION IS. I WAS SO VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY SAFELY.

TRANSMISSION IS GONE , CAR ONLY HAS 77000 MILES , NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION
