| Description of the problem | My warranty was good until 60,000 mi and at 74,000 miles, my transmission died. It wouldn't go into reverse or drive. According to your reports, nhtsa id #10109246 the 2013 nissan altima had cvt delayed engagement when shifting into drive or reverse. (there were also 19 other complaints on the powertrain.) i feel that i should be compensated by nissan for this. I contacted nissan consumer affairs and they did nothing for me. I spoke to a girl named summer who in a mechanical tone said to me "your warranty ran out. There's nothing we can do" nothing i said made any difference to her. She even contacted the nissan dealer however she still did not budge after he told her about my case. This is a poor representation of nissan. They don't stand by their product. I was very upset. I'm a single mother and i have to borrow $4000 against my retirement account just to pay for this repair. I feel that nissan should take responsibility for their product and pay for their faulty transmission. |
