| Description of the problem | Transmission problem. Drove home afterwork let vehicle sit for no more than 15 mins. Proceeded to drive vehicle out of drive way at which time i had noticed no power engine very sluggish. If it were a standard stick shift vehicle it seemed as it was starting in 3rd or 4th gear. I continued to drive the vehicle, proceeded up a slight incline of which i needed to floor the gas pedal. My car has now been at tony nissan dealership since may 6, 2004. They have acknowledged that there are other vehicles with the same reported problem, however they are unable to duplicate the problem. They have been in contact with nissan tech line, per nissan tech line until the dealership can "duplicate" the problem there is nothing that can be done. Per tony nissan gm his service department has checked everything possible they don't see any problem with the vehicle that it is "okay to drive". I acknowledged, i'd pick up my vehicle if he's saying it safe to drive, however if something happens to myself or family,i will hold tony nissan and the gm liable due to the fact it's a reported problem but, they can't duplicate it. As i spoke to the gm, i read to him 9 complaints listed on this website regarding this transmission issue. My complaint should make 10, not to mention the other vehicles here on the island of oahu.*ak |
