Consumer Description

THE TORQUE CONVERTER IN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. I NOTICED THE VEHICLE STUTTERING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS DURING MY TIME ON THE ROAD. I HAD AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC CHECK IT AND A NISSAN DEALER CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS. I WAS TOLD THE RADIATOR AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON-LINE SIMILAR TO MINE; THE 2005 MODEL SHOWED THE MOST PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I DON'T HAVE THE $5,000 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE COMPANY EXTENDED SOME WARRANTIES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT ALL HAD EXPIRED OR I HAD TOO MANY MILES (131,000), AND A COPAY OF $3000 WAS REQUIRED. NOT MUCH OF AN OFFER FROM A LARGE THRIVING COMPANY. *TR
