Description of the problem | Purchased the car in november 2013, driving the highway, as we exit the highway, we had to stop for the red light, once the light change to green, hit the green pedal and the car would not move. Had to think quickly so i shut car off, then turned it back on, pressed the gas pedal, but there was no get up and go. The car crept very slowly. Was able to make it across the road to the gas station, turned the car off allowed it to set for 15 minutes turned car back on still was driving at less than 20 miles per hour. Car was done, there was a hotel the street from the gas station was able to push it over there. Knew we had to figure out what to do. Called trip a to have the car towed to faulkner nissan on paxton st. In harrisburg pa since it was after 5pm on a saturday, they were closed, and closed all day on sunday. Had to get a cab to the harrisburg airport to get a rental car, no way to get back home or to work. Paid 355. 00 for a 7 day rental. Received a called from faulkner nissan monday after having a service technician check it, he said the transmission died. Brand new car, faulkner wants to replace it with a rebuilt transmission, questions is will that one break down on me as well. Today is wednesday, july 23rd, 2014, still no word on the status of car. |
