| Description of the problem | I put my car in reverse and it would not move. It eventually started about 10 seconds later. Then when driving it began to sputter and jump in and out of acclerating. It did not accelerate correctly... I would push the gas pedal and it would not move, then it would jolt in to forward. The car barely got me to work. I took it to a nissan dealer where they diagnosed it with a bad transmission. However, nissan would not replace the transmission, even thought the car is only 2. 5 years old... Because it has 62,000 miles, which is 2,000 over the powertrain warranty. I have to pay one fourth the price of the car (which i still pay a note on) to replace the transmission. |
