Consumer Description

MY ALTIMA'S TRANSMISSION BEGAN SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WHILE TAKING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. IT STARTED SLIPPING BAD ENOUGH WHERE I FELT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED. AS I PULLED OFF A MAIN ROAD ONTO A SIDE STREET, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR WHILE TURNING AND A VEHICLE NEARLY STRUCK ME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. LUCKILY THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO GEAR AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND SO I COULD ESCAPE THE ACCIDENT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE V6 ALTIMA TRANSMISSION.
