NHTSA complaint #11297900, filed 2020-01, 141,256 miles2013: “While driving at 80 MPH on the highway, I was unable to maintain speed. I suddenly lost abilities to control my speed. I proceeded to pull over and shut the car off. Restarted minutes later with no warning lights present. This happened several times getting the car to a rest stop. I believe it's the torque converter in the transmission that maybe the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11221880, filed 2019-06, 82,762 miles2015: “Vehicle started jerking and the RPM gauge was moving up and down while in motion. I had to keep breaking and pushing the gas as it would accelerate on it's own. We took it to get scanned at auto zone, scan said it's the transmission pressure sensor. Other Nissan vehicles have had this issue with their CVT transmission.”
