Description of the problem | I purchased my 2015 nissan altima brand new from the dealer. In sept 2015 at 25,000 miles, while driving in the middle of the freeway, the car slow down as if i was driving in a low gear. The rpm went up, but the car is moving very slow. I stop the car and called the service department. They told me to stop and park the car then restarted the car after giving it serval mins of cooling down. I took the car the service the next day, they couldn't find anything wrong with the car. I continue to drive the car for another six or so months then the same happened again. I took the car back to the service department, no problem was found again. Couple months later, the car stop in the middle of the road. I took the car in, still no problem ws found. They said they can't mimic the problem and asked that i contiue to drive and stop and park if the problem arise. I told the supervisor/manager at the service department that i don't feel safe driving my family around in a car that stop in the middle of the road but can't find anything wrong. I don't know much about the car, but it has to do with transimition because of the check engine light. I felt that the service department is prolonging the real problem because the car is still under the warranity, and i felt that the problem will be discover once it's out of the warrnity coverage. I have two major concerns: 1. I am worry for the safety of my family when i am driving them around the car that can stop anytime in the middle of the road and cause the accident. 2. I am worry, i'll be making a payment for a car that i can't drive once it is no longer be cover under the warranity and it will costs thousand of dollars to get it fix. |
