What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan maxima. While accelerating from a stop, the vehicle rolled backwards. The contact stopped the vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. The accelerator pedal was depressed once again and the vehicle failed to accelerate before stalling. The vehicle was able to be restarted and returned to normal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the CVT transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired.
The vehicle was in a parked position at my home. Went and started vehicle and from park to drive it hesitated before it starts to move.
