| Description of the problem | I bought the vehicle a year ago at 79,000 miles. In january of 2015, i hit the 100,000 mile mark and almost immediately started having transmission problems. Loud and jerky shifting and smelling foul in the air conditioner. Nissan dealership said that there was an issue and since i was out of warranty, (100,000 miles) that they weren't liable. He said i could drive it because it shouldn't break down for another few thousand miles. So i just parked it. I would only drive it if i absolutely had no other choice. Friday, may 15 2015 i was coming home from a doctors appointment and the vehicle completely broke down. The transmission went out and i was in the middle of a busy road with my 4 year old in the car with me. At 40 mph, the rpm was at almost 5,000. I pulled over to call my husband and when we put it in reverse to back out of the parking space, it wouldn't go into reverse. I had to tow it home and it's completely broken down. I don't have 4,000 to spend on a transmission and radiator. |
