Ok, I know the target audience for this vehicle is pretty small, but just in case.
I have a 2016 Nissan NV3500 that I'm pretty darn happy with. Review here: TexAgs Review. I'm in FB group for folks with NVs, and everyone has been generally very happy, until the 2017s started rolling out.
Nissan changed up the transmission to one with more gears. Apparently this transmission has been used in the Armandas for a while, with some issues, but not too bad. Well, the much heavier weight of the NVs is causing them a LOT of trouble. Basically, it appears to slip out of gear, losing power and revving up the engine, sporadically. Folks are reporting it both at city speeds and on the highway. No fun.
So far, Nissan doesn't seem to be recognizing the issue. Dealer mechanical shops are trying their best, but nothing from corporate that we can tell. Folks that own 17s are understandably getting more and more upset. Hopefully Nissan gets in front of this ASAP.
If you are thinking about a 17, join the FB "Nissan NV Families" group, are at least get a 2016 or older.
Thus ends your PSA.
