| Description of the problem | I was traveling from alabama to atlanta georgia on interstate i-20. As i travel about a hour and a half into the trip the car begin to decline in speed. I was traveling about 80-85 mph and had to move over from the left lane to get in the right lane in order to exit off, it decline down to about 40 mph. As i pushed on the accelerator, it did nothing. It wouldn't go past 40mph. It continued so i pulled the car off on the next exit. After about 20 minutes of letting the car set and i begin to start the trip back the car was fine. So on my way back to alabama it did it again. When i returned back from the trip that sunday i went to my local nissan dealer that monday morning and was told that it was the transmission. It would cost me $5000 for a new one or $3500 for a used one. As i look at these complaints, this is a nissan problem. Why should i have to come out of pocket for something that is going on with my car and as i see others. Nissan needs to put a recall on this for it is a problem!!! |
