Description of the problem | We were driving on i-70 in central ks, in heavy traffic, at a speed of 75mph, when the cruise control shut off, and the car slowed to 60mph with no warning, no check engine light, or anything. I was able to maintain the 60 mph with the gas pedal to the floor. Other drivers and semis were swerving and dodging us, there was no safe place to get off of the road. My wife, son and granddaughter were all in the car, and we were all afraid of being hit by an any driver who didn't happen to realize that we were not going the speed limit. We limped the car to the nissan dealer in salina, ks who told us that the transmission had overheated, because nissan did not install a transmission cooler, and the valve body had burnt up. The dealer told us it is a common problem and nissan knows about it. The cost to repair the vehicle is $2700. We contacted nissan, and were told essentially, it's yours, too bad. You bought it with 73000 miles on it, and it is out of warranty. We have only owned the car for 5 weeks. I feel this was a dangerous situation, and we could have easily been in a serious accident due to the failure of the transmission's valve body. What is most concerning is nissan knows about it and is refusing to assist in the repair of the vehicle, or even admit that it has problems. Since the incident, i have found many reviews of this vehicle where the reviewer had the same problem (10 on edmunds. Com, alone!) |
