Consumer Description

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED, AT FIRST THE VEHICLE JERKED ABRUPTLY FROM 1ST TO 2ND, AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A FEW MILES IT SEEMS LIKE ITS NOT GEARING PROPERLY, NOW THE VEHICLE STARTS JERKING AS SOON AS I START DRIVING JERKING FROM 1ST, 2ND TO 3RD, AFTER 30 MILES THE VEHICLE DRIVES OK. ALSO THERE'S BEEN TIMES WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED AND THE VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE. VEHICLE ALSO JERKS WHEN CHANGING TO REVERSE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THE COST COULD BE ABOUT 4,000 TO 5,000 WHICH IS ABOUT WHAT THE VEHICLE IS WORTH. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY NISSAN, THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ITS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM AND OWNER SHOULDN'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACEMENTS COSTS. *TR
