| Description of the problem | I own a 2007 6-speed manual transmission nissan altima that persistently malfunctions. Since that november date and having reported this problem to the nissan dealership on january 5, 2009, i have experienced on the highway and city streets with passengers, the manual transmission would not upshift, would not downshift, nor release from the position it was in. After repeatedly returning the vehicle to the nissan dealership for the same under warranty repair, the same problem persists to date! Despite the dealerships claim of clutch master cylinder and transmission replacement, pressure plate and disc replacement, i have no confidence that this problem will cease to occur, as it is idiopathic and the re-occurrence is unpredictable. Thus, operating this vehicle could cause accidental injury or even death. I continue to report my concern to nissan north america usa and to date have not received any satisfaction to quell the unsafe fear factor in owning and operating this vehicle that has not owned up to the nissan manufacturer's moniker, "made to drive. Built to last." this internet correspondence serves as my official complaint and request for the office of defects investigation (odi) to open an investigation regarding the 2007 6-speed manual transmission nissan altima. |
