| Description of the problem | The transmission started revving, then stall out without any warning. Upon re-starting it, it would not engage in drive or reverse. Just stall out again. This is a serious safety problem. Nissan knows about it since they recalled the 2007 to 2010 models but have not recalled the 2012-2013 later models as yet. There are many complaints filed as well as several lawsuits pending. Nissan should step up and take responsibility for a defect they have know about for some time. While their ceo was arrested for financial improprieties, nissan is being unjustly enriched at the expensive of their customers. |
