| Description of the problem | Vehicle would begin to shake and lose power at exactly 43 miles per hour. To adjust, you would have to release the gas pedal, slow down and then press the gas pedal again to correct the problem. Clearly this causes highway issues when entering or exiting on ramps or streets that have a posting of 40 to 45mph. Not having the power to accelerate or decelerate, puts not only my family at risk, but those around us as well! When the issue was diagnosed, i was told that it was a nissan extended warranty issue involving the radiator fluid leaking into the transmission. My vehicle has 82000 miles (2000 miles over, which would have qualified for free service) which meant that i was now liable for the $2500 dollar deductible for their faulty equipment! |
