Description of the problem | Less than a block from my home the car suddenly lurched then resumed normally. As i pulled into my slightly elevated driveway, the car shuttered then stopped. When i stepped on the accelerator it revved but did not move. When i exited the vehicle, transmission fluid was draining out and a trail of fluid went from my car all the way down the road. The car was immobile. The dealership picked up the car and found that a clamp to the transmission cooler line was missing and the hose came off resulting in loss of fluid. The dealership replaced the clamp and fluids and did a complete inspection of the car before returning it to me. Both the dealership and nissan no. America executive offices went above and beyond to correct the problem. The car now seems to be fully operational and has shown no signs of residual issues. As a consumer i am very satisfied with the outcome, the dealership and nissan. |
