| Description of the problem | My 2016 altima began to studder and jerk while trying to accelerate and looses power while driving which is an extreme safety concern. Took the car to 2 different transmission shops one stated i needed a new transmission $4500 and the other wants to charge $987 in order to take apart the trans to find the exact part and repair that, contacted nissan and was told the extended warranty is for years 2003-2010 which is disgusting since my car is only 3yrs old getting the p0841 transmission fluid pressure sensor switch a/b circuit range/performance. Nissan stated i would have to take it to a nissan dealership for them to diagnose and they will try and negotiate something to lower the cost of repair dealerships want to charger anywhere for $99-$150 just to look at it. I am already out of money because i drive full-time for a living and only have one car. I will never ever buy a nissan again i am disappointed that nissan would extend a warranty on an older car but not one 3 yrs old for a problem that they are full well aware of. |
