| Description of the problem | I started experiencing problems with my vehicle about a year ago. While driving the car seem to not change gears. I had to coast to the side of the street, turn the vehicle off and restart it which made the vehicle to what i call "reset". This did not happen again until months later. Now my vehicle from time to time, while driving the vehicle seem as if it will not go when i accelerate from a stop in traffic. I thought it need transmission fluid. I discovered that it requies ctv transmission fluid and can only be done at a dealership which was not true. My local certified transmission repair center said they could perform a diagnostic for $99, which we did. We are now being told that the transmission need to be replaced and that this was a problem on most of the nissan altima's. Replacement would cost about $4,800. Why hasn't nissan recalled these vehicles after so many complaints? |
