| Description of the problem | Vibrates violently when shifting, on9/15/12 i was on the freeway and it started jerking and shaking back and forth and i had to let of the gas to get it to shift and going again. Since then it has got worse. Took it too a transmission place and they looked at the fluid and coolant had leaked into the transmission. $4200. 00 is the estimate. I don't have the money and will now have to get a loan to get it fixed. Nissan warranty is expired at 80k miles. I have a warranty in place with naviss which they have denied the claim stating the radiator is not a covered part and the fact that is the cause of the problem so it is not covered. I have a wife and two kids and the vehicle is not safe to drive. My wife will not drive the vehicle. I can't believe nissan knows that this an issue yet they won't take responsibility and fix the problem. The transmission place said they fix 3-4 a month, and have yet to see nissan cover any. I hope that the class action lawsuit goes through so we can get our money back. *js |
