Transmission failed, as I went to turn left it stalled and on coming traffic had to slam on there brakes and 6 veh. Ran into each other i dud not get hit but feel so bad that the 2914 nissan sentra i drive caused this traffic hazard. 2 people had to go to the hospital. It should be illegal to sell these cars with ctv Transmission Nissan sould have to put reg. Transmission in all there veh. Already sold and any to be sold and NHTSA Should be fined for not doing your jobs. These vehicles. ARE a safety hazard.
Complete CVT transmission failure at 91,000 miles. Warranty expired so dealer wants $5,000. I've done all recommended CVT trasmission fluid exchanges but transmission failed.
