| Description of the problem | Took my nissan to jeff wyler kings nissan in cincinnati, ohio on october 16th after i was made aware of a service bulletin to reprogram cvt transmission. Picked up car that afternoon drove it rest of day and the next day my check engine light came on. Took it back to the dealer and they ran a diagnostic test and said i needed a new transmission at a cost of $4200. My car is almost 4 yrs old with 84,000 miles on it. The tech said the reason for the reprogramming was to pick up on the issues in the transmission and tech told me that this problem could have been there for months and even a year or so and the computer not throw the engine code because of either faulty transmission or transmission program. I just feel its extremely fishy that after they reprogrammed the transmission the very next day engine light comes on and need a new transmission. I have called nissan and have a case # or ca # of 33093284 and am asking nissan to cover the transmission under warranty. |
