| Description of the problem | On the 14th of june, 2019 i was driving to work. When suddenly i felt my car power decreasing as i pressed the gas. Soon as that happen i new something was wrong so for my safety and other i took the nearest exited to local street and found a safe area to check my car. Turn it off and back on and i started driving sgain it seemed like nothing happened but after about 10 later it completely lost power no matter how hard i pressed the gas. So i called a tow truck and we took to the repair shop and i found out that the transmission on my car has died and it will need to be replaced. And that will cost me alot of money. So i called a nissan dealership and they told me it will. Cost me $3000 for new transmission. So my next option was to check with nissan if they will help me so i called the nissan customer service so they asked how much miles i had in the car and i told them 70,000 miles. But sadly they told me my warrant end at 60,000 miles. I need my car for work so at the end it took about a week to get it fixed and costed me around $2000. Worst experience i have ever had to deal with with this car. What surprised me is that i always took good care of it since the first time i got it i made sure all maintenance that was needed for it was done but i was surprised that my transmission died at only 70,000 miles. So hopefully this help in anyway for other who have the same issue. |
