| Description of the problem | I was driving on the freeway, as i approached the ramp, my car started moving slow. I press the accelerator to pick up speed, my car jerked a bit. As i proceed to exit the freeway it picked up speed. I arrive at the traffic signal, stopped, when the light changed, i had trouble with my car picking up speed. Previously experiencing this situation from an old chevrolet vehicle i knew it was the transmission. I called my personal mechanic and explained what was going on with my car, and i think the transmission is going out. My mechanic explained my car is too new to have transmission issues, he asked i bring it to the shop. My mechanic is an honest mechanic if he is unable to repair your vehicle, he will not touch your vehicle. I brought my vehicle to my mechanic he drove my vehicle himself, return to the shop in 5 minutes, express to me, "take your car to nissan right now! There must be a recall on the transmission your vehicle is too new for transmission issues." my 2016 nissan altima, i purchased ocober 15, 2016 started out with 22 miles, i put those 22 miles after test driving. Now at 66,048 miles, i am faced with transmission issues. I found no factory recall for the transmission. Nissan found two recalls, the transmission was not on the list. I am devastated i read nissan's are the 3rd best vehicles. My altima is a year and eight months old. Currently my altima's transmission is getting repaired at a nissan dealership. |
