| Description of the problem | I noticed the transmission 'slipping' when i pulled into work, especially in traffic on my commute. When i got back in my car 2 hours later, i could barely make it up a 2% grade in the parking lot. I immediately went to a reputable transmission shop who said i was lucky to make it there and not pay the towing charges (he pointed to another xterra that came in the day before). My vehicle was past the (wimpy) extended warranty (mileage) for the class action lawsuit and the age was well past it. It cost me $3750 out of pocket with no hope of financial relief from nissan. The transmission repair store owner said this whole situation (design and lawsuit) was terrible and could have been avoided. Lucky i wasn't on the interstate! |
