| Description of the problem | I use this vehicle to commute to and from work. I currently serve in the u. S. Military and must drive over causeways that are located over water to get to work. The vibrations from the failing transmission cause a major concern when going over these causeways. If the transmission were to fail going 50 mph it could cause a major accident possibly killing my family, me and possibly many more. Today i was taking the family out for dinner. On our way i drove over the causeway driving 55 and came to an exit. As i was exiting, the vehicle started jerking vigorously. Thankfully there was enough room to control the vehicle to bring it to a stop. Now the vehicle will not drive past 1st gear, so obviously i had to get it towed. Nissan must address the problem immediately before someone gets killed, but we all know that's exactly what they are waiting for. |
