| Description of the problem | While driving our 2006 nissan xterra at speeds between 40 and 65 mph the vehicle started losing power and not shifting between gears correctly. At stop signs it would start out and rev high and then not shift again. The transmission stopped working while on the freeway. After letting it sit for a period of time the trainsmission would engage for a short time and stopped again. Finally had to have the vehicle towed how over 50 miles. Waiting until monday (happen on a late saturday) to get vehicle to family mechanic. Tried to speak to nissan dealerships and got no help. We had the vehicle looked at by family mechanic at least twice before for the vehicle have symptoms of power loss and sluggish gear change and it was so intermitent that nothing could be detected in the past. |
