Sluggish CVT transmission, shaking when driven longer and when hot out. Cannot drive uphill, loss of power
I bought this used car with 25 thousand miles on it, but the transmission never worked. It is too expensive to repair and few people know how to do it, therefore I think I have to buy a new transmission. It is a CVT. I want to know where can I buy a new transmission from nisssan with some kind of discount, actually I am living in guatemala. When I bought the vehicle it was stationary. So thankful for your advice and help.

Transmission failed resulting in car losing power and making noises when accelerating. Nissan is not honoring the extended warranty for which my car is eligible and won't respond to my many calls at all. It has been 7 weeks. They are stonewalling me. They won't even tell me the name or extension of the "specialist" handling my case.
On thursday morning, march 3, 2016, my transmission stopped working as I was driving up a hill. I was not able to drive forward. Only reverse. So I had to reverse my car off the street against oncoming and park on the side.
