Description of the problem | I was driving and the rpm excelerated without warning, the car shuttered, i had no power. Prior to this happening on march 26, 2016, we did not have any warning of a problem. The check engine light came on at which time i had already pulled over. I had the suv towed to a repair shop. The repair shop advised me that the internal radiator dumped water into the transmission causing the transmission to burn up. It is not repairable. Upon further investigation, we found that there is a pending case regarding this defect (dp12004) on most nissans affecting models made in 2004-2012. This states that the investigation is pending and a recalll has been requested but nissan has not issued one as yet. Thank goodness i was not trying to pass or turn at the time it occurred. I was driving on a rural road and was able to safely pull over. There was no warning at all. Nissan should take responsibility for what is a defect in their vehicles. We bought the car used and will try to work with the finance company on who is responsible for this defect. |
