Description of the problem | I have had this vehicle to the dealer three times because at slow speeds it shudders like a manual transmission when you do not downshift. There is no rhyme or reason as to when it does this. There are times when you accelerate around 50 mph that it does nothing and then decides to just take off. The dealer had it for eight days on one occasion and could not duplicate the problem - again happens at any time and not consistently. The dealer says they can't do anything about it until they can duplicate the problem with the computer on it so nissan can tell them what to do. This is absurd. They have a problem and admit it but won't tackle the problem head on. I guess they need to have a tragic accident before they are forced to do something. It's time for the government to step in and address the problem. It is my understanding that the dealer had eight transmission issues in the shop when mine was in last week. But they claim their hands are tied. Nhtsa time to step in. |
