Help please. Losing power while driving
Help needed. While driving my 2012 Maxima will lose power, no warning lights. I pull over put into park then reverse then it stars running again. Any ideas as to what might be happening?
Losing power is a rather broad description. Is the engine running or does it quit? Is it that the engine is running, but pushing on the accelerator doesn't cause the car to go faster? I am thinking that perhaps your cvt is overheating (either because of low levels, clogged radiator, or just contamination. Your cvt fluid should be a light green. If not, then it is time for the filter to be changed and a drain and fill. Remember to check the levels with the transmission thoroughly warmed up and on level ground. Let us know.
Great way to rule out transmission overheating is to invest in an OBDII dongle and an app that can read CVT temperature, great app is CVTz50 from Google play if you're on android. App is $4.99. Well worth the price.
