| Description of the problem | While driving on the highway the transmission failed. No warning, just check engine light and the transmission wouldn't go above 30 miles per hour without cutting off the car completely. Had to be towed. After troubleshooting problem the radiator on transmission failed. Come issue for this vehicle, just as noted in the safety recall a few years ago but nissan is no longer supporting their customers for this safety issue. Well, after $3700, my transmission is rebuilt with new radiator. Nissan should have covered this safety issue.. I was in traffic on a highway and the transmission failed, it was very stressful and unsafe for me to change lanes and pull over on a highway that has a 70 mph limit and i was in the middle lane. Even though i put my flasher on traffic was very heavy and it was truly unsafe for not only myself but my passengers and those cars behind me that had to suddenly slow down because of my mechanical transmission failure. |
