POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. AFTER ENGINE IS WARM, WHEN YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL, THERE IS ABOUT 5-6 SECOND DELAY BEFORE CAR WILL GO. IF YOU ACCELERATE TO GET ONTO HIGHWAY FROM ON RAMP, IT MAKES A RATTLING SOUND. IT IS GETTING TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT, SINCE YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO PREDICT WHEN IT WILL DO THIS. THIS ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAPPEN IF I AM IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.

I THEN TOOK THE CAR TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY RAN A FREE TEST AND SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $130 TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THAT WOULD LET ME KNOW IF IT IS THE TRANSMISSION. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NINE MONTHS AGO AT 30,000 MILES AND NOW IT IS OVER 60,000 MILE S. THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES. NISSAN KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND YOU HAVE DRIVERS WITH COMPLAINTS. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME WHEN THEIR CARS WILL HESITATE AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOSE THEIR LIFE. MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. FAMILIES ARE GOING TO BE TRAVELING AND THESE CARS HESITATE. THAT IS GOING TO BE A DEADLY SITUATION. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.

Potential Consequences:
THE CAR IS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND I BROUGHT IT NEW WITH ONLY 8 MILES. THE CAR STARTED HESITATING WHILE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. THAT'S WHERE I NOTICED THE HESITATION FIRST. THE ISSUE OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY, CITY STREETS, TURNING, AND CAR HAS HAD ISSUES WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR HAVE TO STOP TO MAKE A TURN THE CAR HESITATES ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS AND THEN TAKES OFF. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS. I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS SO SWITCHED GAS STATIONS AND IT STOPPED FOR A WHILE AND THEN STARTED BACK. WHILE DRIVING CAME TO A STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE CAR HESITATED AND THEN WHEN THE TURN WAS COMPLETE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASS 40MPH. I CAME TO ANOTHER STOP SIGN, CAR HESITATED, AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASS 20MPH. I HAD TO PULL OVER TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. IT STARTED ACCELERATING PROPERLY BUT STILL WITH THE HESITATION FROM A STOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR $125 WHICH LED THEM TO SAY THAT THE VALVE BODY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR THE CAR NEEDS A NEW CVT. THE DEALERSHIP REQUEST ANOTHER $400 TO INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION TO SEE WHICH WAY IT COULD BE FIXED. ($1100 VALVE BODY AND $4000 CVT REPLACED. THIS IS VERY COSTLY AND A 2016 CAR SHOULD NOT NEED A TRANSMISSION. THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NISSAN'S CVT THAT I WAS NOT AWARE OF UNTIL NOW. AMONG OTHER THINGS THE SERVICE ADVISOR ADVISED THAT THIS JUST HAPPENS. WELL IT SHOULD NOT JUST HAPPEN IN A 3 YEAR OLD CAR.

Potential Consequences:
WE PURCHASED THIS CAR LAST MAY AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER MAY BE A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER I START EXPERIENCING DELAYS ON ACCELERATION. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY SO I USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. SO WHEN I STARTED EXPERIENCING THE DELAY ON ACCELERATION I STOP USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE ISSUE. TO SHORTEN A LONG STORY AFTER I STOP USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE ISSUE REMAINED. I'M GOING TO GO MORE IN DEPTH ABOUT THE ISSUE. FOR EXAMPLE, I AM STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, I ACCELERATE NOTHING HAPPENS FOR A FEW SECONDS THERE'S A DELAY FOR ABOUT FOUR TO 5 SECONDS AND THEN ACCELERATION COMMENCES IN THE RPMS GO WAY UP. AT THIS TIME I HAVE TO LET UP OFF THE EXCELERATOR AND EASE INTO ACCELERATION NOW. EVERY TIME I GO TO ACCELERATE THE RPMS GO WAY UP THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WANT TO GO INTO THE NEXT GEAR. I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURN OFF THE CAR TO RE-BOOT IT. MOST OF THE TIME THIS WORKS SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. SO ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS DRIVING HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. NOW I HAVE CODES TO TAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTICS, TRANSMISSION RELATED CODES COME UP AND NOW THE CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR IT WAS ABOUT 49,000 MILES ON IT. I STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE WELL BEFORE I GOT TO 60,000 MILES. 60,000 MILES IS THE CUT OFF FOR NISSAN'S POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IF I HAD GOTTEN THE CODES BEFORE 60,000 MILES, IT WOULD BE COVERED ON UNDER NISSAN'S WARRANTY. MY GIRLFRIEND CHECKED ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND NOTICED THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER NISSAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION FOR RECALL ON THIS MATTER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION, (XXXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
