| Description of the problem | The truck began losing power because it would not shift into lower gears. This put us at risk at higher speeds. The problem got worse and we took it to the nissan dealer. We learned that nissan knew of the issue, but failed to notify us. They knowingly let us drive a dangerous truck for years.. We were lucky we brought it in when we did. We always had our truck repaired at the nissan dealer, they had numerous opportunities to tell us, or write us. We have not moved! This is wrong and the class action lawsuit settlement is unfair to those of us who happened to have the issue at mileage over 100,000. The judge should have required nissan to warn us. We are going to have to pay $5000 to have this repaired, we already paid $200 dollars in new fluids thinking that was the issue. |
