| Description of the problem | Car was giving acceleration problems. Two days later i was in traffic and car wouldn't go past 10 mph. I was able to pull over just out of the way of speeding traffic. I had to turn the car off then back on for it to start and slowly shift gears. Still was only able to go up to 15mph at first, almost got into an accident because of my location. Once i kept going it started to speed up to normal speed. Immediately i called nissan, but before i was able to get to them my car failed to start. I was sent the recall letter in 2012 for my make/model/year. Not right because by that time i received the letter i had already gone over the mileage. Even if i was within mileage how can you make the buyer pay up to $3000 dollars for a manufacture defect. One problem is starting to lead to another. First bad tcm then relay. I'm fed up with trying to fix a vehicle that i kept maintained with the necessary maintenance checks. I did everything right as an owner, if my vehicle had been installed with good hardware (transmission/relay/etc.) then i would still have a good running vehicle. I will never buy another nissan again!!!!! |
