| Description of the problem | The problem first occurred while driving at approximately 30 miles an hour. The automatic transmission made a thud noise and the gear indicator showed 5 instead of d and would no longer shift and felt like it would not accelerate. Even when trying to manually shift the transmission it would not go into d and would continue to indicate 5. Nissan serviced the transmission with a fluid change and this did not fix the problem. This has occurred on several occasions since then. The problem occurs at various speeds and now it sometimes causes the vehicle to shut off. This is a hazardous situation and we have been fortunate this has not occurred in heavy traffic and involved us in an accident. |
