Since my second oil change (vehicle is under 15000 miles currently) the check engine light will randomly come on and then go away. It would not alarm me, but I am hearing the shifting of the power train now more often than before. A clicking as it shifts up and down. The engine is a cvt, but from what other mechanics have told me, this is not how it should sound and should not be how it performs.

Was going down the highway with cruise on at 70mph. Rpms started jumping and lost power. Took to Nissan had it checked snd its a cvt transmission failure at 99,798miles on car. Contacted Nissan usa about it and with a 8 day reply got that its not coverwd under warrenty for a known defect due to they only cover 5/60000 miles not 10yrs/120,000 miles on that vehicle. Car less than 1 1/2 yrs old. So when I took it to dealership like Nissan usa told me to do so they would know whats wrong with it for sure. They tell me they wont fix it. So cost me $130 tk have it checked. And another $270 for a loaner car while dealership had my car. And to get car fixed it will cost me $4000. I know I would never suggest a Nissan lemon to anyone, and will never buy a Nissan again since I still owe $18,000+ on a car I cant drive do to Nissan knowing the cvt transmission are messed

The transmission does not shift properly to 2nd, 4, and 5th gear. I took it to the dealership to get it looked at and the mechanic reported that this problem is common among my vehicle makes. I still don't see a recall for it and he said they won't fix it until then. Can we get this ball rolling please, it's a huge highway safety concern.

Car is dangerously slow to accelerate when attempting to merge onto a freeway or a busy street. Even with flooring the accelerator, vehicle will not move past 40mph for about 5-8 seconds, which in driving, is a large amount of time, especially merging onto the freeway.
