| Description of the problem | My 18 year old son could not get the vehicle to engage in reverse. In an effort to drive the vehicle to the mechanic the transmission failed while driving and luckily i was able to coast to the side of the road narrowly escaping a traffic accident. I had recently passed this vehicle down to my son and i shudder to think what would have happened to him if he had been behind the wheel considering he is a less experienced driver. I have been informed that there are numerous incidents involving nissan vehicle transmissions. |
