| Description of the problem | Hello i purchase a 2013 nissan altima in may of 2013 with 20 miles on it.. This year in april of 2014 i starting have problem with the transmission. I was on the crescent city bridge coming home from work with alot of traffic my car all of a suddenly just slowed down and will not pick up speed i push the accelerator all the way to the floor and the car still will not pick up speed. I than took it to nissan and they had it for a day called me to come get it said they restarted the transmission.. Okay. After a week later it happen again on 5-14-14 again they kept it for another day and called me to come get it.. I asked them were they sure it want do it again because i was scared it will get me in a car accident and hurt some one.. The man at nissan said everything was okay.. So okay again it happen to me again with my son and grandson in the car this time. Again slowed down and will not pick up speed on the bridge causing cars to blow at me like i just stopped on top of the bridge. Again i took it to nissan again on the 5-20-14 they than keep it and put me in a rental for 2 days. They again said they fixed the problem. So i go to get my car and yes again it happen again.. So the man at nissan said wad car was still under warranty but wanted me to give them $240. 00 for something that was still underwarranty so i am still stuck wit this problem. What do i do next. Wait til someone get killed or hurry in this car.. I don't understand what's next. So i hope this help me out before its to late. |
