what do you mean your transmission is slipping? it is very very hard to make the reinforced steel belt to slip...have you got all the recalls taken care of?

whoa even if ur exaggerating about 10-20 secs but thats still messed up as hell lol money wise, if u want MT then u should trade in ur car instead of trying to put MT on ur car IMO

go to the stealership and tell them that ur car is screwed up tell them to fix itwhile ur there, kick the guy in the balls cuz they r all bunch of screwed ups....sorry im really not having a good day/ work

I know exactly what you are talking about. Mine did this the night I bought it. By the next morning when I was able to go back to the dealer, it was barely driveable. They ended up replacing my CVT and transmission control module (TCM). Take it to the dealer, the problem will only get worse. They had a nissan engineer come out and do a full days worth of tests on mine before he ended up taking the transmission back to nissan with him. Mine had 80 miles on it when it got replaced.

I would try not to drive that anywhere, sounds hazardous!!! (easier said than done...I know)

i don't know if this is normal or not that is why i have not brought it up (also i like the cvt a LOT) when i am slowing down applying the brakes (when it is dry or wet) when i get to about 20mph it almost feels like i hit a wall, i think it is a jerk but it is a rapid slow down. is that normal ?

Forget that! I would take it to them and demand a loaner. We are talking about a brand new car that is going to need a new transmission (if it's the same issue as mine). Don't let them make you wait. They will probably change their tune once they get in and drive it. The service guy I had go on a test drive with me was speechless by the time we got back to the dealer (almost didn't make it back). I didn't even have to ask for a loaner, he was offering me one as we pulled up.

Seems like it isn't normal; mine doesn't do it. But man, 2brian0, you had to get your transmission and TCM replaced with only 80 miles? I assume you haven't had any issues with the new units right?

[2brian0]

nope, good to go every since and i have my foot in my car on a regular basis...

hmmmmmmmmm don't know what to do. it dosen't bother me too much and i don't wat the stealership to make it worse. hmmmmmm i think i will let some one eles drive it and see what they think.

[novs25]

are you nuts? thought i would ask, just take it to the dealer, they will not make it worst. lets be serious now

[1BluCoupe]

thanks atleast im not the only one that has had this problem. well im supposed to take it to the dealership monday morning so ill let everyone know wut they said...

thats because the torque converter engages at 18 mph, it says it clear in the manual

[skiski329]

so this is normal and it happens to all of you?

My Nissan Versa does the exact same thing, but only sometimes. In fact, we had a bad snowstorm last week and rather than the few seconds that the issue normally lasts for, it was permanent and I could not get the car to rev unless I was in Park. I had to get towed to the Nissan dealer, who told me there was nothing wrong they couldn't recreate the problem so I had to pay the towing bill. The 10 second thing I can live with, but I'm scared I'll get stranded again, tow back to the dealer, and have them tell me agian nothing is wrong.
