| Description of the problem | Engine / transmission seems to be slipping. The car jerks and rpm's seem to jump around the 3 gear. Car seems to be loosing power and works harder to reach higher speeds. 1st gear is ok, after that the second third and fourht gears all kick in within 5mph of each other. I am in fourth gear by the time i reach 25 mph. Transmission seems to be going out. Nissan dealer states that they found no problems since no codes came up. I will have a local mechanic inspect it since i trust that they will most likely find that it is transmission failure, not some electronic code. There should be a recall for all these vehicles and nissan should own up just as toyota has with their acceleration problems. |
