    X-Trail surging problem

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan X-TRAIL Nissan X-TRAIL Advice Nissan X-TRAIL 2014

    As soon as I purchased my 2014 Nissan X-Trail, diesel auto I noticed a surging/jumping type action, particularly around 80 km/h. It has now done 30,000 km and it's only getting worse. The dealership has been nothing short of hopeless. I took a short video of the issue yesterday, as they appear to think nothing is wrong. The revs go up and down even while cruise control is engaged on a straight, flat road. The revs go between 1500-3000 rpm while cruising at 100 km/h. It just keeps going up and down, then goes up and done quite quickly while a little surging/jolting can be felt in the car. The temperature remains normal throughout. Any advice would be much appreciated!

    The transmission you've got is a CVT type auto, and I would suggest it's got a problem, possibly the computer that controls it. Take it back and demand they properly assess it.
