What owners wrote
Complete shutdown of the vehicle while driving down the road. Caused me to go into a ditch. The vehicles lights flashed and then it just shut off. Had the alternator replaced twice also the battery replaced twice and now the nissan dealership has said they don't know what's wrong with it.
As you are driving the car looses power, it happens randomly when driving, turning corners , going up hills have to pump the gas to make it go also have to put the gas pedal to the floor going up hill and at times on straight road.the dealer scanned it was the CVT transmission. We replaced it and still having the problem, nissan is aware there is a problem with nissan transmissions hopefully you can look into this it is a safety hazard on the road, hopefully someone isn't hurt or killed over this problem.
