| Description of the problem | My car only has 40,000 miles i bought it brand new at least they sold it new in july 2016 at serra nissan in bormingham al. And now 2 years as of 2 mths ago 40,000 miles later . The repair shop here in chattanooga, tn informwd me that they had to take the whole transmission out and rebuild it, what? Rebuild ut at 40000 miles, this is unreal. Please help. I nolonger have confidence in driving this vehicle. This car is covered still thank god under the powertrain warranty but having confidence in a rebuilt transmission at 40k mileage is unheard of.. Basically i drove from tn to al came back car didnt hardly move after getting off freeway and stopping at a red light, it was disgusting and very frustrating. So i took it to the dealer nissan east and. Mechanic guy by the name of mike called me and told me that they had to take the whole tranamission out and rebuild it. I have never heard of a car's transmission having to be rebuilt at 40000. I have owned plenty of new vehicles never ever experience this before. Look like nissan is on my black list and confident in knowing that they produce vehicles with terrible transmissions and seemingly lemons. Contwmplating seeking legal representation regarding this matter. |
