Consumer Description

BEGINNING AT 38K MILES THE TRANSMISSION HAS STOPPED ENGAGING PROPERLY WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND GEAR OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS OCCURS BETWEEN 20 AND 35MPH AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SLAM INTO GEAR WITH A FORCE THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACTS THE DRIVER'S ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR CAUSING AN UNSAFE DRIVING EVENT. THE EVENT IS AS POWERFUL AS BEING HIT FROM THE REAR WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER CHARGED $200 TO FLUSH THE TRANS BUT THIS HAD NO EFFECT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE THE DEALER BUT HAVE HAD NO RESPONSE. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND IT IS WIDE SPREAD WITH THIS MODELS' 2005 & 2006 YEAR VEHICLES BUT IS DENIED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS A WARRANTY COVERAGE PROBLEM. PLEASE FORWARD THIS COMPLAINT TO NISSAN USA AND REQUEST A REPLY. *KB
