Transmission problem?
Discussion
Hi guys so I bought a Nissan Juke privately 14 plate for 9k 5 months ago. It's at 28k mileage and in very good condition. No problems highlighted.
Service every year no problems with Nissan themselves. Mot fine. Never failed.
My car randomly stopped working going to work. It goes in reverse fine but when I put it in drive it revs but won't move. It slowly moves when I push hard down on the rev. Checked oil. No problems.
I'm not very wise on cars but wish I looked throughly about the Nissan Juke problems before getting one. Bloody Japs.
I had the Rac man come out and he couldn't really see a problem he did advise me I might need a new transmission about 3-4k. He also said the drive might be disconnected. Instead of letting him drop my car to a garage I got it delivered home. My heart shattered but I'm very sure at 28k the car shouldn't need a whole new transmission. I'm aware some mechanics just give you a worse case scenario.
Over the Christmas period I been worried sick and searching for info.
Bloody 5 months 9k down the pan. I wish I just saved up more and got a newish car from the car dealer instead!
Any advice? Thanks. Hope you had a great Christmas and new Year.

A quick Google shows that there is a common fault with the Nissan CVT gearbox.
It might be worth checking with Nissan if there is anything that they can do under warranty or as a good will gesture, given the low miles and full service history.
I hope you get this sorted, but looking around the web it sounds like a bit more than a quick fix.

From the Juke buying guide on What Car: "The main issue is with the CVT gearbox fitted to the 1.6 petrol models; put simply, it has a poor reliability record, not least because repairs are generally not possible and thus the entire transmission tends to need replacing (Nissan has contributed to the cost in some cases)."
Although the car is out of warranty, if it has a complete service history within the Nissan dealer network, and has never run late for, or missed a service, you may have some luck getting Nissan to contribute to the bill. Your first port of call should be Nissan customer services.

It is Automatic 1.6
I have tried contacting Nissan while car was being towed, they won't take any part of responsibility because it's 5 years old. I have booked a mechanic online to come out to have another look tomorrow hopefully he will tell me if it's just a little fault of a wire being disconnected etc
I'm not paying extra 3k on it. Rather just give it up trade it in and settle for a bloody Vauxhall Corsa for the time being. Where I am it's impossible to catch a bus to work either so it's a nightmare. Happened the day before Christmas Eve lol

I'm going to say to trade it in any dealer is going to knock off double or more than the cost for you to fix it.I have tried contacting Nissan while car was being towed, they won't take any part of responsibility because it's 5 years old.
