NHTSA Complaint #10556563 — 2007 NISSAN XTERRA

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND DISGUSTED WITH THE WAY NISSAN HAS HANDLED THIS PROBLEM. MY XTERRA 2007'S TRANSMISSION DID NOT GO BAD UNTIL IT REACHED OVER 120K MILES. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY WITH MY CHILDREN AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN SHE FELT THE GEARS SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING IN A MAJOR INTERSTATE. LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME SAFE. I FOUND OUT SHORTLY AFTER THIS ALMOST CATASTROPHIC EXPERIENCE THAT THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING NISSANS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I GUESS THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT ONLY COVERED VEHICLES UNDER 100K MILES. WHY IS NISSAN ONLY PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO VEHICLES UNDER 100K MILES IF THERE IS A THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION COOLANT. THEY SHOULD COVER ANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE MILEAGE IS. I TOOK MY XTERRA TO AAMCO BECAUSE THEY CHARGE BE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LESS OF WHAT A NISSAN DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE CHARGED ME. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL NISSAN OWNER SINCE 2003 AND WILL NEVER BUY A VEHICLE FROM THEM AGAIN. IN FACT, I HAVE CONVINCED FRIENDS AND FAMILIES NOT TO BUY NISSAN VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THE POOR SERVICE THAT THEY HAVE PROVIDED. *TR
