Description of the problem | Vehicle when stationary and in park intermittently will not shift into any other gear such as drive or reverse even while depressing the brake pedal. This causes the motorist to become immobile. One safety concern is a scenario when a motorist placed the vehicle in park while waiting at an open draw bridge, train crossing or other situation that the motorist placed the vehicle in park thereby making the vehicle immobile in the flow of traffic. Additionally a motorist can become stranded in a remote location with no communication services available. An internet search for this condition has uncovered numerous owners experiencing this very same condition on same or similar nissan vehicles. Upon further research it appears that a component or components, such as relay switches or solenoid(s) may be the cause of the transmission gear safety interlock becoming stuck thereby preventing the motorist from shifting the vehicle into the desired gear. |
