| Description of the problem | I was driving with my 15 year old daughter from my home in sanford, fl to clermont, fl to visit my mom at the nursing home. While i was on the expressway 408 the vehicle began to stall and bog down causing the vehicles behind me to slowed down abruptly almost causing a chain reaction accident. I was terrified. I slowly made my way off the expressway onto state road 50 then the vehicle would not go at all. I called my husband and he told me to put my hazard lights on turn the vehicle off and then try again. This worked but i was only able to go 20 mph, however the speed limit was 50 mph. At one point i was on a hill and the vehicle began rolling backwards almost crashing into the vehicle behind me. I was able to make it to the nursing home where i parked the vehicle then my husband came and towed it back home where it now sits, we have to hold nissan responsible for their flaws. It's not fair that my life, my child's life and the life of other drivers were in danger because of nissan's irresponsibility. I want the transmission on my 2005 nissan pathfinder replaced with a new transmission. |
