Description of the problem | I purchased the vehicle in july 2013. In august 2013 i began to notice a skipping/chugging sensation at a low speed and which seemed to only when going around corners at the time. I called that august the vehicle was inspected by nissan. When it was brought in they told me they could not duplicate what i had described. The skipping/chugging sensation continued throughout the next several months. I again brought the car back to nissan in december for the same issues. However the skipping/chugging had got far worse, in occurrences and intensity. At this time the technician at nissan was able to reproduce the skipping/chugging told me that it was "skipping on ice". I explained to the service department it had been ongoing and that i did not believe that skipping on the ice. I was told that it would be logged into the system and they would have note of it. The skipping/chugging has continued throughout the winter. The intensity is far worse, and occurs each time i am accelerating the vehicle between 5-25/30mph. I have also experienced power failures when getting out of the car. The car will turn off then turn on its own, then take multiple attempts to shut it off. I brought the car back to nissan on april 7, 2014. Once again, they were able to reproduce the issue. This time telling me that my transmission in my vehicle is failing. At this point i am waiting to hear back if they will replace the parts of the transmission that is failing, or the entire transmission. |
