NHTSA Complaint #10577860 — 2005 NISSAN PATHFINDER

I AM DRIVING A GROUP OF CO-WORKERS OUT FOR LUNCH. I PULL IN THE TURNING LANE TO WAIT FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO TURN. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO MAKE THE TURN, I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AGAIN TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE I HAD NOT ACCIDENTALLY HIT THE GEAR STICK. EVERYTHING LOOKED RIGHT SO I TRIED TO GIVE IT GAS AGAIN. THE ENGINE REVVED LOUDLY BUT AGAIN THERE WAS HESITATION IN MOVEMENT. FINALLY, AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER, THE TRUCK SLOWLY TURNED. I TRIED TO DRIVE BACK TO THE OFFICE BUT HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I WOULD STOP AND AS SOON AS I PRESSED THE GAS, IT WOULD TAKE FOREVER BEFORE I WOULD ACTUALLY TAKE OFF. THE TRUCK MOVED AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AS IF I WAS PULLING A LARGE LOAD. TURNS OUT IT IS MY TRANSMISSION. HOW UPSETTING WHEN I HAD NO PREVIOUS WARNING. MORE UPSETTING WHEN I BEGIN TO DO MY RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT A CO-WORKER WITH THE SAME YEAR PATHFINDER HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND LOOKING ONLINE IT APPEARS EVERYONE WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK HAS HAD THIS ISSUE OR WILL EVENTUALLY. WHY IS NISSAN NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEYOND CONTINUOUSLY EXTENDING THE WARRANTY WITH HUGE CO-PAYS THAT AT THE END OF THE DAY DO NOT REALLY HELP THE CONSUMER? NISSAN NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THIS COMPLAINT TO BE REVIEWED? *TR
