2012 Nissan Quest Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“We were driving on the highway and the transmission felt like the van was jerking every time the gas was pressed. This was even happening the day prior when driving on the highway. At one point the RPM would go start going high when the gas was barely being pressed. We decided to get off at the next exit. We were at a stoplight and the van just suddenly stopped giving any power when pressing on the gas. There were no light indicators on the dashboard to alert of anything wrong with the van. The RPM would not rev up even with the gas pedal floored. …”

“I am having a problem on the CVT transmission of my 2012 Nissan Quest. It's becoming too dangerous to drive because it's keep on jerking when I'm driving it in the street that is way I don't drive it in the freeway because it's too dangerous and lately it speed up that I almost get an accident. First it won't run whenever I stop at stop sign and/or stop light, when I press the accelerator it won't run like it normally do and then all of the sudden it will speed up that I almost get in an accident. I want the Nissan manufacturer to recall my Quest and fix my transmission.”

“At 119,000 miles the vehicle experienced a complete transmission failure while driving. The vehicle wouldn't get out of 1st gear, making acceleration from a dead stop nearly impossible. Several calls to my Nissan dealership and to Nissan corporation resulted in I'm sorry but we can't do anything for you but offer a complete replacement of your transmission at at cost over $5000 . The vehicle is only 19k miles out of the extended warranty that I purchased from Nissan, but they are claiming they don't look at that, they look at the original manufacture warranty. …”

“The van began to sputter and seemingly misfire once shifted into gear. I suspected a case of clogged fuel injectors and pressed firmly with the throttle to clear the line of debris. The van then stalled in the intersection as I was making a left turn, the transmission disengaged itself and provided no gear resistance. Fortunately the timing of oncoming traffic allowed me to coast out of the intersection, using the downward grade of a nearby alley in order to exit the street. Inspection of the van revealed obd ii codes: p0500 and p0720. …”

“Van has had issues slipping on hills after stop with gears grinding and jerking. Brought in to dealership and they could not replicate. I mentioned I thought it might be transmission and how we can do preventive maintenance. They recommended flushing transmission fluid for $125 which I did. Less than month later, slipping still occurred on hills after stops. On way home this past saturday, I was going about 30-40 MPH when there was a stop light on a slight incline. I slowed down to about 5-10mph when the light turned green. …”
