| Description of the problem | I have had the car 2-3 years now and the tires have loosened up on me while driving, the car stopped running and had to do some kind of steering column lock work, it is rusting on the drivers side floor panel, and the transmission is out of it which happen on the road at work with two of my clients. Which the clients both are diagnosed with a disability. Very frightening when you make a left turn and your car stops infront of oncoming cars. That could have been a major tradegy. If only nadsan would have fixed that transmission problem many years ago when they were made aware of the problem( malfunction) and nissan will not budge one bit to help fix the transmission unless i pay diagnostics and a transmission bill of over 5400. 00. Who ever heard of a transmission costing that much money? They are the worst and i will never purchase a nissan ever again. Thanks for your consideration. |
