| Description of the problem | My nissan altima was in park it started up however i could not get the car out of park this is a 2013 this is a very serious issue after reading the many complaints concerning the shifter and cvt this car needs an immediate recall before someone is killed. Each time the car was stuck in park the car was running and stationary the nissan dealership diagnosed the problem as the shifter and said the whole shifter needs replacing after viewing numerous complaints a recall must be issued before it's too late. I can provide documentation if needed the repair was 768. 00 this is an on going problem with nissan 2012-current. *js |
