NHTSA complaint: 2014 NISSAN MAXIMA — ENGINE
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?
