| Description of the problem | Vehicle's transmission begins to whine and loses power within a hour of highway driving on a hot day. Vehicle cannot accelerate after, thus creating a hazard towards other vehicles. Nissan wont cover costs associated with this problem if it is out of warranty. Most altima models from 2007 - 2009 are experiencing the same problem. I am surprised their isnt a recall for this particular issue. |
