Description of the problem | When i had my new car for only two weeks, while driving on side streets, i started to hear rumbling like i was going over rough road or a warning strip at random times when i accelerated. Then it also happened when i tried to accelerate on the parkway. When i called the dealership, they stated that they had no idea what i was talking about. Told me to bring the car in a week later when they had a loaner car available. I took it on june12th, and they still stated they did not know what the problem was. I started to research and found out that this is a common transmission problem in the 2013 pathfinders. When i told them i knew this was a common transmission problem, the dealer is still stating they know nothing about it, but now want to replace my torque converter when they get the part that is currently not available. I called nissan and have asked for a refund of my money. I do not want a brand new car with transmission problems! I can't use it to tow my boat and am afraid to go any long distances. They still have not called me back. How can they continue to sell this car when there are nationwide problems with this transmission? |
