This vehicle will not operate if it's driven for more than 45 minutes at highway speeds. The power train goes into a neutral mode. It then requires a pull over onto a freeway to allow it to cool down for at least 30 minutes before the vehicle will work. It does not matter what the ambient temperature is outside. When driving at speeds lower than 50 miles per hour it does not have this problem. Per the nissan mechanics this is a known problem with the cvt and the only way to fix it is to completely replace the cvt....

Nothing but problems with this car since I purchased it. Had to replace all tire sensors, speed sensors, coils, front passenger tire rod, the ctv transmission, and the trunk leaks into the trunk and the tail light's. I have repaired all these things out of my own pocket.I have been stranded several times, I have almost been hit, and have had the car towed. The dash has become sticky and everything sticks to it. It produces a glare on the wondow which makes it hard to see.The engine experiences loss of power and no mechanic can pinpoint the problem. I do not drive it much since I have purchased it. This car should be a lemon or recalled. The problems keep coming.

It won't start most of the time and when it does it'll only let me get up to maybe 20mph and that's it

This is a $500 part (excluding labor and towing fees) that can and has stranded people with little to no notice. How is this acceptable?
