| Description of the problem | Another motor mount broke, had it fixed. One week later i started experiencing jerking and gear changing as i drove. Was on freeway and vehicle went into third and jolted my upper body (had sore neck for one week). Also experiencing 2-3, and 3-2. Putting vehicle into drive and reverse, the vehicle jerks badly, reverse being the worst. When i come to a stop the vehicle lunges forward very sharply. Nissan paid for the diagnostics test $234. 00 and buena park nissan's report stated the vehicle needs a new transmission. Nissan consumer affairs is behind closed doors and will let me know if i get a new transmission at there expense, i hope so, i'm unemployed since 10/2010. |
