Consumer Description

VEHICLE WAS STOP AT RED LIGHT OF VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND THEN WOULD ONLY COAST IN NEUTRAL WHILE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGING. WIFE AND 3 CHILDREN WERE STUCK IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN ON TO GET TRANSMISSION TO RE-ENGAGE AND DRIVE. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED A HALF DOZEN MORE TIMES. THIS OWNER TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS CHARGED FOR COMPUTER ANALYSIS. THIS OWNER WAS TOLD THERE WAS A "KNOWN" ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION OF THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE BEING CONTAMINATED FROM INNER COOLER. THIS OWNER WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $5500 TO FIX. THIS OWNER DID INTENSE RESEARCH ON SAFETY AND MECHANICAL PROBLEM AND FOUND THOUSANDS OF NISSAN OWNERS WITH SAME ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR "KNOWN" ISSUE. *TR
