| Description of the problem | I last month filed a complaint with the nthsa about my 2014 altima's bad transmission. I had contacted nissan usa multiple times. They first acknowledged liability (even though it is out of warranty) and offered to pay the part (new transmission). But on aug 15, 2018, they claimed that since the local dealer "cannot duplicate the concern", my car is "okay to drive", denying any responsibility of any future accidents or damage. My local dealership nissan maguire does not agree with nissan usa. The car is not in good operable condition. When i shift the gear to drive, the stepping on the gas does not deliver power to the engine for 2-3 seconds. So, when i stop on the hill and put it to drive, the car rolls down for seconds until it moves forward. But nissan usa renounced its liability and refused to provide a new transmission. I asked what if i get involved in an accident and all they said is contact them when it happens. I think they are accomplict in murdering me and others on the road. |
