Vehicle goes into limp mode without a warning indicator. Will not go above 2500 RPM in top gear. This comes and goes and only happens in high gear. This was twice in one day on a highway. It stopped after the vehicle stopped and rested for a few minutes. The lower gears work normal.

Our car initially would not accelerate from the lights, seemed like it would not go into gear. Thankfully we were able to get off the road as it was on ca 99 , a pretty busy road. After a restart it seemed fine, until the next day when we were driving home to south lake tahoe. The transmission went into limp mode and would not go over 3000rpm, particularly dangerous as we were driving up a mountain road at night . Since then we have driven it very little, but it jolts regularly while driving. This is the second time we have experienced such symptoms and the second transmission in this vehicle. The original transmission was replaced at 69273 miles, vehicle now has129000.

Vehicle has sudden loss of power due to overheating of transmission fluid causing vehicle to go into a limp mode reducing speed to approximately 40-50 MPH. Happens when driving at highway speeds for 2 or more hours. Once coming to a stop, the vehicle will not accelerate at all...completely powerless. Have had to a nissan dealer 4 times receiving nothing more than a band-aid temporary repair by draining some of the trans fluid rather than installing a better transmission cooling system. Nissan has know about hundreds of cases over the course of 7 years and to date has no credible repair, thus totally ignoring consumers safety. There are tens of reviews regarding this by concerned consumers. This is a fatality( if not already) waiting to happen.

On 2 occasions in a week period of time after driving on the highway for about an hour I exited the highway via an exit ramp and stopped at the stop light. When the light turned green, my car would not accelerate even though the car was still in drive and the gas pedal was pressed down. Both times I scooted about 1mph over to the shoulder, placed the car in park then back in drive and it accelerated normally. I brought the car to the dealer, they are replacing the transmission control module at no cost, it is still covered under the nissan extended warranty for the CVT. This issue frightened me and made me feel unsafe in the vehicle. I worry had I needed to stop on the highway and then accelerate and was unable to that I would have been hit. I feel nissan should look further into the CVT issues and perhaps issue recalls as these types of issues make the car unsafe. In my instance the car felt as if it were stuck in park or neutral, it would not shift into drive. I have read online several other complaints concerning CVT issues.
