Description of the problem | The new armada for 2017 has a cold weather problem in its transmission. The problem is it doesn't shift properly. My dealer says that's the way it supposed to work to warm the fluid. But in the 40 years that i have been driving cold weather has never been a problem for transmissions. It stays in 2nd and 3rd gears way to long . Anyway that's my problem and there should be a solution, maybe a different transmission fluid or a different code to shift more quickly. An updates needed. This happens everytime you start from a stop until the car warms, about 20 minutes of driving. Nissan mileage could go up an additional 2 miles per gallon more if it didn't have such high revs during this warm up period. |
