I got this car from my daughter in may. This problem started in june, stopped for a while & now in winter (january) it came back & is getting worse to the point i won't drive on freeway anymore. Decelerates at freeway speeds combined with jerking motion. Also does not always accelerate (dogs out) while pressing on gas from complete stop or trying to accelerate in slow traffic causing cars behind to slam on brakes.

Our car initially would not accelerate from the lights, seemed like it would not go into gear. Thankfully we were able to get off the road as it was on ca 99 , a pretty busy road. After a restart it seemed fine, until the next day when we were driving home to south lake tahoe. The transmission went into limp mode and would not go over 3000rpm, particularly dangerous as we were driving up a mountain road at night .…

After driving for a while, my nissan cvt transmission stops working properly. When i take off from a stop at a light or intersection, the car initially takes off for a few feet, but then the transmission stalls, and the car literally creeps through the intersection at a snails pace. Very dangerous when it occurs in a busy intersection. You do not know it is happening until you are already in the intersection as it…

Takata recall i was driving down the highway and stop for the red light,the light turned green and i went to pull into the intersection for a left turn and my car would not move. I was lucky i was not rear ended by the cars behind me. I had my car towed to the dealer. The diagnosis was internal transmission failure. I also had the same diagnosis back in 2013 with a whistling and knocking sound. It was called a cvt…

I live in the denver area, and my daughter is in college in utah. She complained for the last several months while in school that the car would sporadically just stop accelerating. She also said she had not changed the oil in a while, so i thought that's what her problem was. She then changed the oil, and continued telling me that it would just stop accelerating, and she said she was scared to drive it, because she…

It's been going on for a year now. The dealership i bought the car from couldn't figure out the problem. The car revs up with no applied acceleration. It will slow down to 45 mph and i'll have to pull off the road cut it off and restart the car and it'll straighten out for another 30-45 miles and repeat. It's pretty dangerous bc the first time it happened i was on the interstate. I've read a lot of forums and it…

I was driving in highway conditions (55mph in 55mph zone) when the car suddenly decelerated and would not get above 30mph. Cars behind me had to swerve around me in order to get around me with the sudden deceleration. I was able to make it off the highway & onto local roads. Every time i had to accelerate after a stop light or stop sign, the car would not initially accelerate despite me pushing full down on the…

I was hearing & feeling a noise when accelerating and decelerating so i took my car in to the nissan dealers service center to see what was going on. They stated that my transmission and transfer case needed to be replaced. Nissan has extended the transmission warranty to 120k miles but doesn't back the transfer case or anything else that relates to this know issue. They should be held liable for all issues…

Vehicle started with a whining noise which eventually was followed by loss of speed/power. Acceleration after stopping was reduced to a crawl, also grinding noises and shaking and vehicle wanting to stall. I am now unable to drive as i am fearful of devastating consequences. This car was bought new and still owe $6500, and a new transmission running approx $3000 the expense does not make sense. Nissan knowingly sold…

My car had a lost power driving back from rocky mountain national park and i was forced to pull over and turn off my car it started up and i was able to make it back safe but i think it has something to do with the cvt. I really sucks and i don't feel safe driving my car right now.

Roar and grinding noise under car believe to be transmission / transfer case or both. Drive good shifts good runs good. Believe if something locks up in this , it could cause a accident by coming apart. Checking it out found lots of other with same problem. If they know of the design problem look like they could correct or replace bad parts. Look like nissan did not care about it or if it could cause an accidend and…

The cvt (continuously variable transmission on my car exploded when the seals failed (a defect common to these cars) going about 60 mph on the way through kansas to colorado. It almost caused an accident as it led to the car smoking and an extreme loss of speed while in traffic. Nissan knows there are defects with this transmission and yet continue to put them in the nissan rogues.
