Description of the problem | My transmission began slipping, that was the first time i noticed it distinctly. The other times had been going up hills or slowing down. I came within a couple of feet from rear-ending the car in front of me because my car didn't shift downward at a stop light. A minute later i had to pull over because my car wouldn't shift into 3rd gear (automatic). This same thing happened several more times, i took it in to nissan they put a stop-gap fix, a "modulator" on it. They already had reports knowing that wasn't going to fix it, but did it anyway. Nissan didn't test drive it, just gave it back to me. I drove it less than 2 miles & turned around, they kept my vehicle for 5 weeks, put in a refurbished transmission (in my new car). The transmission is starting to slip, again. They told me i could get compensation, but lied. I'm scared to drive it, but don't know what to do! We can't afford another vehicle. This is a lemon and needs to be recalled! The value has already started to drop more than $10,000. I spent several days and lots of gas money driving up to pick up my car, that wasn't ready! The repair shop was nice, but the corporate offices lied and were disrespectful every time. |
