| Description of the problem | Was driving down major highway in nj and car began to slow down rapidly. Was able to get to side of road before completely dying. Car was towed to transmission repair place and cost 2000 to repair. Now in 2015 i have the very same problem. Car needed another transmission at the tune of 2000 more dollars. These transmissions are known for trouble. If someone's going down street in fast lane and this happens they can be killed. It gives no warning at all when it's about to fail. I do believe nissan should repair/replace this issue before someone is killed. Could be me or my family. There are numerous posts about this i hope something is done fast. The passenger airbag light comes on saying off when an adult passenger is in car. |
