Consumer Description

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OUR TRANSMISSION FOR A FEW MONTHS NOW, WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (CERRITOS NISSAN) AND THEY SAY THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS WILL BE OUR THIRD TRANNY AND THE CAR ONLY HAS 120,000+ MILES ON IT. OUR FIRST TRANSMISSION LASTED 5YRS. BEFORE HAVING TO BE REPLACED AND NOW THIS ONE HAS LASTED 3YRS. THE TRANSMISSION NOW IS STUCK IN 5TH GEAR WHEN YOU SWITCH TO THE TIP TRONIC SETTING TO SEE THE GEARING AND THIS IS THE REASON THERE IS NO POWER DURING ACCELERATION. WE ALSO NEED MOTOR MOUNTS NOW BECAUSE OF THE VIOLENT JERKING THAT THE TRANNY DOES WHEN PUT INTO GEAR. AND THE DEALERSHIP ALSO SAID WE NEEDED A TIMING CHAIN REPLACEMENT BECAUSE IT WAS BAD AS WELL, TOTAL REPAIR COST $6700.00+. I'VE RECENTLY TAKEN MY CAR TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE TIMING CHAIN WAS PERFECTLY FINE. OUR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SWITCHES DO NOT WORK AGAIN, THAT WAS REPLACED 1YR AGO. AND WE ARE NOW ON OUR THIRD SET OF FRONT STRUTS. *TR
