Transmission failure

Since buying car used last summer ive have numerous scares for the car stalling jerking and shutting off while driving or slowing down and taking off. I drove over train tracks on my way home and the car jerked stalled and died luckily i made it over the tracks and there was no train. Had a mechanic look at it and said the Cvt transmission more than likely blame for this problem. After researching more this particular make model and year had numerous of the same complaints and saftey is my main concern here. Thanks

The transmission completely went on my vehicle at 87,015 miles. I regularly drive on a major highway and had this happened while on the highway it could have been catastrophic as speeds generally exceed 70MPH on this road. The problem has been confirmed by my dealer. Nissan will not back the repair as I am 3,015 miles out of warranty. There were no warning lights prior to the failure.

CAR BOGGING DOWN WON'T ACCELERATE WHEN NEEDED JERKING AROUND NISSAN HAD A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THEM FOR THIS AND IS REFUSING TO FIX THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 NISSAN VERSA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE UP A HILL, THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CVT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. KAMAAINA NISSAN (471 KALANIANAOLE AVE, HILO, HI 96720) WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

I HAD ISSUES WITH THE GEARS THAT INITIALLY THE ISSUE SHOWED UP AS A PROBLEM WITH AC/HEATER NOT WORKING PROPERLY, BUT WHEN THE MECHANIC EXAMINED THE ISSUE, IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH GEARS. SOON AFTER THAT, MY CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE WHILE DRIVING AND THEN BEGAN TO SMELL LIKE SOMETHING BURNT. THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED, I DID REGULAR MAINTENANCE AS INSTRUCTED IN THE MANUAL, BUT IT WAS AROUND 60,000 MILEAGE WHEN ISSUES BEGAN TO SHOW UP AND AROUND 90,000 WHEN IT BEGAN HESITATING AND SMELLING. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON CITY STREETS BECAUSE IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY AND SO I CANNOT DRIVE IT ON THE HIGHWAY. I CONTACTED NISSAN WHILE I HAD MILEAGE IN THE RANGE OF 80K-84K TO SEE IF THEY WILL EXAMINE MY CVT, GIVEN THE CURRENT LAWSUIT, FREE OF CHARGE. BUT THEY STATED THAT THE LAWSUIT HASN'T BEEN SETTLED YET AND THAT BY THE TIME IT IS, I WILL LIKELY BE OVER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.

WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STALLED OUT. RE STARTED IT THEN IT WAS SLUGGISH AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AGAIN I FELT A QUICK THUNK LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. FINALLY GOT IT HOME WHEN PUT IT ON CODE READER IT CAME UP WITH CODE P0705 TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT WHEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED. NOW I AM STUCK HAVING TO PAY AROUND $2000 TO GET MY CAR FIXED.

ON OR ABOUT NOVEMBER 5TH OF 2018 WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY HOME THE VEHICLE QUIT ACCELERATING. WE LIMPED THE VEHICLE HOME WHERE A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP INSPECTED THE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS APPARENT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THE QUOTE WE RECEIVED WAS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS "SHOT". THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PURCHASED USED AND WAS ONLY OWNED ABOUT 16 MONTHS.
