Transmission failed prior to first service requirements, cvt transmission. warranty extended but not for current year. only year prior. also vtc retartder kit recalled for 2009-2013, not for 2014. same problems are happening but not being covered under recall. took to dealer and was told it is not covered even if the problem was a recall for the year before.
My 2014 nissan maxima with my family and myself inside were in a near death situation when the car did not have power to cross train tracks that went across the road. we heard the train coming and the only reason we escaped death was because of a man in a pickup truck in back of us observed the situation and quickly pushed the car over the tracks and out of the way just before the train quickly passed through. i later found out from the dealership that the nissan cvt transmission failed and that was why the car didn't have the power to cross the train tracks. they also said that the cvt transmission repair would cost me $5000.00 and that the repair wasn't covered under any cvt transmission warranty. nissan should cover this repair on there known troublesome cvt transmission. would nissan cover expenses from the death of my family and myself because of there faulty transmission?
Vehicle can be turned off while pressing ignition button while still in gear. this results in the car drifting only a beeping. the vehicle will not turn off and will go indefinitely until parked. several times this has almost caused major accidents.
I purchased a 2014 nissan maxima in january 2015 experienced problems with the electrical system in march of 2015 where the console screen (radio, heat/ac controls, gas mileage, etc.) constantly blacked out/vertical and horizontal lines appeared. the screen was completely replaced and the repair was fixed by a local nissan dealer. after receiving an oil change in early july 2015 (first free oil change) i noticed that my vehicle had a ticking and knocking noise/sound that was rather loud coming from the engine. i took the car to a local nissan dealership and the vehicle was diagnosed with an engine knock from #1 main bearing. at the dealership a service appointment was set-up and i was provided a service bulletin (technical bulletin) from nissan. the bulletin reads as follows: classification: em12-014a reference ntb12-01a dated december 17, 2013 that for 2009-2014 maximas have engine knocks from #1 main bearing (on this notice there is a note do not replace the engine for this issue). i did not realize the maxima had engine issues. if i knew this at the time of purchase i would have selected another vehicle. i have made a formal complaint to nissan requesting the repurchase of this vehicle with various manufacture defects (currently waiting on a response). additionally, i have tried to receive an even trade for a safe vehicle due to the manufacturer defects from the dealership where i brought this car but have been unsuccessful at this point due to the depreciation of the vehicle/current manufacturer defects (unsafe engine). this is utterly ridiculous for a car that has less than 7,000 miles to have so many defects that was purchased 6 months ago. any assistance is greatly appreciated.
