| Description of the problem | My nissan came to a stop while driving home. I was going no more than 30 mph and my car started to shake and then it stopped and would not move anymore. I took it to a shop and they said it was the transmission and would have to rebuilt it. The shop kept my car for a month and was unable to fix it, even after rebuilding the transmission. I finally took it to a nissan dealership and they stated that the problem was the radiator and transmission. They would fix it, but it would cost me $6,700. Because my car is over mileage in the extended warranty that nissan had offered, i would get no financial assistance to fix my car--even though this is a manufacturing defect. This is just outrageous and irresponsible that nissan will not recall the transmission and radiator problem. Luckily i was not traveling on the expressway at the time the transmission failed or there would have been fatalities. I will never purchase a nissan ever again!! |
