The symptoms appear regardless of engine temperature. Were the error codes you experienced indicative of torque converter malfunction?

Yeah, codes pointed directly at the torque converter. Honestly, I was hoping it was just a sensor or something simple, but no such luck. I'd suggest getting a professional diagnosis ASAP. Could save you from even more damage.

Based on your experience and the persistent symptoms, I will proceed with a comprehensive inspection at a reputable workshop. The projected repair cost is approximately 2120€ due to the automatic transmission converter being defective. Thank you for sharing your insights; they proved invaluable.

Wow, that sounds rough. I drive a Qashqai too, though I've got a different engine. I had similar symptoms – slipping, grinding, lights all over the dash. Was convinced my gearbox was toast. It started gradually but got worse pretty quickly. Is it worse when the engine's cold, or all the time?
