| Description of the problem | A light turned green, as i began to accelerate, my truck would not get into the next gear. I had to pull off the road as other drivers had to go around me. I almost caused an accident. I managed to make it to a transmission expert the next day, and a diagnosis informed me of contaminated transmission fluid by way of a faulty transmission fluid line coming from the radiator. My research of this problem led me to the fact that nissan is fully aware of this flaw and is not taking responsibility for this faulty design and my fear is that this happened so suddenly that it will eventually lead to a major accident and possible death. This needs to be recalled. It's not just about the thousands i must pay in repair (new transmission), but for the safety of owners, and for the safety of those on the roads with us. Nissan needs to take accountability and let their customers know that they are in danger unless this is corrected! Contact customers nissan and let them know! |
