We purchased the vehicle for my so and the transmission is slipping. Took it to the dealer and they said there is no warranty to cover it. We just found out the vehicle was eligible for an extended warranty, however it's exceeded the 120,000 mile dealer warranty. We're wanting to know if this problem was recalled by nissan because it is not safe for him to drive it.

Transmission stepping motor - per the check engine code at no particular speed, gears slipping, popping into gear, no acceleration from from stop. Seems to get worse the further the drive.
Right at 165000 miles the CVT transmission went out. It started slipping and went completely out 3 days later.
Transmission slips or shifts hard into gears. Transmission has also just stopped working in the middle of traffic. Gets worse the warmer it is. Slower speeds have the hard shifting and higher speeds it often wont shift to the next higher gear.
At low speeds on slight incline will not accelerate with input to gas pedal rpms will increase vehicle will not respond then suddenly drive train will respond and engage (a slipping action) vehicle will suddenly launch forward with a slight bang and bucking of vehicle. Dealer has had vehicle checked for problem approx 5-6 times could not duplicate issue. Bbb complaint in process of being filed. Dealer and manufacturer no help with issue. Formal complaint filed with dealership, no response @ present. Vehicle is dangerous when not responding and confusing control of vehicle when it does respond to throttle input.
