| Description of the problem | On 14 march 2017, my transmission gave out without warning while i was traveling about 50 miles on the freeway. I purchased the vehicle used in september of 2015 with about 30, 000 miles on it. From day one, the vehicle would stall at various times but the mechanics stated nothing was wrong and no warming was ever able to be found. The vehicle came to a complete halt throwing me forward. I was able to move it to safety and get it towed to the dealer matt bowers nissan located at 13050 interstate 10 service rd. New orleans, louisiana 70128. The contact number is (504)245-5900. Prior to arriving, i learned the vehicle had a recall dealing with the transmission but not specifically with it stalling and going out. According to online and the dealer, nissan recalled whats called a cvt which resets the transmission. Every last one of the service men automatically knew the issue when i told them it stooped on the freeway. One gentleman even stated he wouldn't even purchase one for his daughter or his wife. I purchased this vehicle assuming nissan name was still good. There are reports of transmission going out with 10, and 30 thousand miles. My hood also pooped open while on the free and cracked my windshied a few weeks ago. I learned today there is a recall on the hood. The back door came open while my grandkids were in the back. It took about 10 minutes to get the rear door to close. This vehicle needs to be recalled for the transmission. They are no better than toyota by keeping this information from the public. My vehicle has 127512 miles and should not be having transmission issues. I put almost 400 k on my impala and the transmission was still good. Please make nissan pay and recall this transmission. Often times consumers fail to report issues which cause great harm to others. How many complaints is in your data regarding this? Please help me. Single mother |
