MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 113,500 MILES AND STARTED LOSING POWER AND COASTING, THE SPEED WOULD FLUCTUATE AND SOMETHING SOUNDS LOOSE IN THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO LITHIA NISSAN IN FRESNO CA ON BLACKSTONE AND THEY TOLD ME THE CVT BELT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED THEREBY CAUSING THE CAR TO NEED A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION AT $5738.96. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.

MY BRAKE LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT COME ON AT THE SAME TIME. MY WENT DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. I REPLACED THE BATTERY. HAD THE ALTERNATOR CHECKED. WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. AFTER A NEW BATTERY MY CAR RUNS FINE BUT LOSES POWER AND HESITATES LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL FROM TAKE OFF OR ENTERING A TURN AND MY BRAKE AND BATTERY ARE STILL COMING ON AT THE SAME TIME. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND IT APPEARS BE A LONG STANDING ISSUE NO REAL RESOLUTION. I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE THEY DID DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND I GOT CODE P0011 THE SAME ONE I PAID TO BE REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY.

ON MY WAY TO WORK AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY 2011 NISSAN MAXIMA ALL OF THE SUDDEN WOULD NO LONGER SPEED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS ON AND AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE SPEEDOMETER WENT TO 0 MPH BUT THE RPM WOULD CLIMB. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR INTO AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. MY CAR HAD NO CHECK ENGINE/SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS ON. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SPEED SENSOR DUE TO THE ORIGINAL DIAGNOSTIC CODE OF P0500 AND TRIED REPLACEMENT BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WAS SHOWING 'PAGES FULL OF CODES' AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED AND THAT 'IT JUST HAPPENS.' PRIOR TO THIS TOTAL FAILURE I EXPERIENCED ABSOLUTELY ZERO SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS (CHECK ENGINE/SERVICE ENGINE SOON), NO SLIPPING/JERKING, LEAKING, NOTHING AT ALL. AFTER RESEARCHING THE POTENTIAL CAUSE OF TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLE I FOUND THERE WERE MANY 2011 OWNERS WHO WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING.

INTERMITTENT HIGH RPM'S WITH NO CONTROL OF SPEED. WOULD HAPPEN THEN NOT HAPPEN FOR DAYS. WOULD NOT GO AT STOP SIGNS/STOP LIGHTS THEN SURGE FORWARD WHEN THE TRANSMISSION (WE LATER LEARNED) FINALLY ENGAGED. ON A DAY IT WASN'T ACTING UP WE TOOK IT TO WHERE WE BOUGHT IT (DEALERSHIP) AND THEY IMMEDIATELY NOTIFIED US THAT WE NEEDED A BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION $5,500. 2,053 MILES OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. WE COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT WHEN THEY CONTACTED CORPORATE NO CONSIDERATION FOR OUR LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP.NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS DID WE THINK IT WAS SOMETHING SO SERIOUS AS A COMPLETE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THIS TRANSMISSION IS SUPPOSEDLY THE SECOND (IMPROVED) TRANSMISSION TYPE THAT NISSAN HAS PUT IN THE MAXIMA WITH THE PRIOR GENERATION OF TRANSMISSIONS BEING GIVEN A WARRANTY OF UP TO 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES DUE TO ALL THE PRIOR PROBLEMS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN FIXED WITH THIS SECOND GENERATION. NOW, THEY WON'T EVEN HONOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH A 62,053 MILEAGE. THE TRANSMISSIONS AREN'T FIXED! WE HAVE 2 SMALL GRANDCHILDREN WE PICK UP EVERY OTHER WEEK AND REGULARLY USE THE CAR TO PICK THEM UP. HOW SCARY TO HAVE REALIZED WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THE KIDS IN THE CAR BECAUSE WE HAD NO IDEA THAT THE TRANSMISSION ON A CAR WITH ONLY 62,053 MILES WOULD BE COMPLETELY SHOT. SOMEONE PLEASE AT YOUR ORGANIZATION LOOK INTO THIS. *TR
