| Description of the problem | Making a left turn into shopping center and car started jerking , two days later going through a 25mph school zone and car started jerking ,took car into dealer and i was told that they replaced the transmission when i picked car up, on the way home whenever i would slow down to stop the car would make a whining noise and it would come to a hard stop, took car back to dealer and was told that it was normal . It was not dointhat before they changed the transmission nissan consumer affairs sent a specialist out to check the car out he drove the car and he felt the issue , i was told that it was the torque converter locking up and that was normal, took car to another dealer for a second opinion and he drove the car and experience the issue again i was told that it was the torque converter locking up , it makes this jerking at different speed levels and the whining and hard stopping is constant the second dealer told me that i may have a software problem because the computer that they hooked up to the car shows no problems i am still experiencing the problem . Something needs to be done to correct this issue . It was not making the whining noise and making the hard stops where it makes the car move. I am still dealing with these issues. |
