| Description of the problem | I rented vehicle for the weekend and used it for 1 day. I drove it down state to champaign 250 miles and made a stop. When i got back in the car and started it up, it hesitated to change gears but did, so i turned and drove the car home to chicago. The weather temperature was very fridget outside . When i got to chicago the vehicle stopped i could start it up but it would go into gear. The engine sounded very fine there was nothing else noticeable, no loud noises in the car. I called enterprise aaa towed the car to the enterprise rental place. I rented a smoke color vehicle. My insurance company said that he is charging me $5,000. 00 for a brand new transmission for a 2005 nissan and for a serpentine belt and a oil change . The vehicle has already been repaired. I have not been given any information on anything or its whereabouts. *jb |
