| Description of the problem | My nissan altima 2013-only has 51,000 miles. I driving towards the gwb and was sitting on heavy traffic heading to the exit when my car started to vibrate and then shut off. All the light on my dashboard came on. I put the steer back to park. And restarted my car, it vibrated a little more when it shut off for the second time. I tried a final time to turn my car back on, which finally did not shut off and was able to drive to work. I was super scared as i was on a major highway, lucky for me it was heavy traffic and the other vehicles were driving slower than usual. This is not safe as i usually drive with my 6 year old with me. I got to work i looked up what had happened to me and there are tons of complains about the same issue with the transmission. I don't know why nissan has not addressed this issue. I cannot say this car is reliable anymore. I called my dealership and taking the car in tomorrow. I am hoping they can change my transmission as i am still in warranty. |
