Description of the problem | I called nissan in june to report that my car was shaking and trembling at times while driving. It happens while coasting, accelerating and braking. I brought it in and was told it needed a transmission update. 2 weeks later the problem returned. At times i need to turn the car off and restart it to get the shaking to stop. When i looked online this is a huge problem. Over 29000 already are "lemons". I brought it back and was told they could not duplicate the problem. Then brought it back and was told there was a new update (1 day later). I called nissan corporate and they were looking into buying the car. They then put in a new transmission as i had refused to pick up the car. They put it in the day they called to say it would be done tomorrow so when i called to ask them not to, it was already being done. Now nissan will not buy the car as it has a new transmission. There are reports of having 3 new transmissions and the problem continues. Cars are breaking down. Nissan is ignoring the problem. I was told in 2-3 weeks they will call and if the car is ok they will offer a settlement. Why a settlement if the car is ok unless they realize it is a problem? The fact that this is a continuation from 2013 problem, and the cars are continuing to be sold while nissan ignores the problem puts people in danger. Cars are overheating and breaking down in the middle of the highway. Someone needs to hold nissan accountable and put people first. I stated to corporate i should not have to be a test dummy for 2-3 weeks and put my life and others on the road in danger. No one at nissan will acknowledge that this is an ongoing issue for more than just myself. Please advise. |
