| Description of the problem | I have 135,000 miles on my 2012 nissan altima. And i started hearing a whining noise and asked the dealership to check it out about 2 months ago. They said that's just how the altima sounds. Now i am having to replace a transmission that's going to cost me 4,000. 00. I researched transmission issues on the internet and a lot of people are having the same issues. Going up a hill the car would whine or when i try to accelerate. The car started to jerk upon pulling off and would not accelerate until i let off the brake then tried to accelerate again. |
