The transmission is acting up. The car gets stuck, makes whining noises, can't go uphill, won't accelerate, slows to a complete stop, etc. There were issues with the car prior to it getting this bad. I took is to a nissan dealership several times but it wasn't diagnosed for some reason. It took some time for it to almost completely clunk out.

The car will switch gears when i'm driving. It has happened multiple times - the last time was this weekend when i was traveling. I was driving on the interstate, up a mountain. All of the sudden the car started decelerating as i was going up the mountain. The gear shift caused the car to dramatically slow down and almost caused a multi-car pileup because there was a lot of traffic.

I have been to the nissan dealership multiple times trying to figure out why my vehicle loses power randomly and why the car randomly shifts gears and reduces speed even with my foot on the gas. Yet while it does this the rpm needle surges between 3000 to 4500. Vehicle has no codes and dealership claims they can't reproduce the problem. My car has lost power on a major highway and yet im just suppose to believe the…

When driving out of an apartment complex my rpm needle just up to 5000 rpm and wouldn't not accelerate. Once on the freeway the rpm needle will fluctuate between 2000 and 5000 rpm before accelerating again. Once i got off the freeway and got 2 miles down the road with the same issue the car just stopped accelerating. Even when i floor the gas pedal the rpm needle didn't move at all. So while traveling at about 20…

My car has the cvt and at times you have to really press hard on the accelerator to get the car to select a gear and move. If you ease into the gas pedal to move it's almost as if i am driving my husband's racecar with a stall converter in it. I took it to the selling dealer at only 22,000 miles and they wanted to change the fluid without first even taking it for a ride or explaining why it needed the fluid changed…
