| Description of the problem | Automatic transmission slipped when changing gears. Also it felt as if i was driving over groves in the road while driving. I took it to my mechanic who informed me of multiple problems with the radiator leaking into the transmission and that i was 4k miles over the extended warranty. I never even knew i had an extended warranty, i guess nissan didn't want too many people to know even though my vehicle is registered with them. My mechanic said this problem was a known issue with the nissan design and since it was past the 80k mile warranty it was not covered. Radiator was replaced. I called the nissan dealership and they would not extend or honor any warranty. My mechanic told me to watch my transmission, because that will be the next to go. My only hope is nissan does the right thing (forced if necessary) and repairs or replaces what is clearly a faulty design. This has the possibility of causing accidents at the worst and abandonment on the side of the road of a family at best. Get them to fix this issue and protect the drivers on the road please. *js |
