| Description of the problem | When i was driving my 2013 nissan altima on august 26, 2015 my car lost pressure and started to jerk, after almost being hit by other drivers, i was able to pull over and call for help. I tried to restart the car and it started up again and when i put the car in drive it shut off. I have made several reports to the service department at the dealership and no help. Finally, after experiencing the horrible deal on yesterday, the tech call to report that he tried to check the car on the machine and its wasn't given him a indication of anything being wrong with the car. He finally drove the car and it started acting up on him and stop and he saw that is was indeed the transmission gone bad. What is so sad about the situation is that i had be complaining about the car a week after i bought in. You could park on a hill and the car will vibrate really hard and i was told this was normal. Complaint after complaint after complaint. I am really terrified out my head to drive this car. I fear for my life and my children. All i can think of is the what if! |
