My car shut down multiple times while driving it to work. I had to get it towed to nissan and find a way to work. Nissan said they reprogrammed the cvt transmission and didnt bother to tell me there was a recall. When i got it back it was worse than when i took it in the first time. It is unprofessional and dangerous for them not to tell me about the recall.
