| Description of the problem | Transmission had begun to slip while transitioning to and from gears(no matter the speed). When putting vehicle into gear there would be this horrible "jerk", as if the transmission or engine were about to fall out!!! Vehicle would not warm up while in park. Once the vehicle was turned off it would only start back up if the "ecu fuse" were replaced. Took vehicle to transmission specialist and he stated that the radiator had been leaking into the transmission!! This issue is now subject to electrical issues!!! His recommendations, a new or rebuilt transmission. I have read reviews were someone has even had their transmissin replaced only to have the same issues or similar in nature. Nissan is aware of the problem and is not utilizing an appropriate recall. |
