Consumer Description

AFTER COMING TO A STOP THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE. GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE BUT THE CAR IS NOT SHIFTING WELL INTO ANY GEAR. THE TRANSMISSION ALREADY FAILED AT 48,000 MILES AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. IT IS SAD TO KNOW THAT NISSAN WOULD NOT CORRECT THE TRUE PROBLEM, SIMPLY MASK IT FOR THE TIME BEING AND PUT A SINGLE MOTHER RIGHT BACK INTO THE SAME DIFFICULT SITUATION. THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. 2 OUT OF THE 4 CARS THAT I HAVE OWNED HAVE BEEN NISSAN'S. I PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR RELIABILITY. SURE, PROBLEMS WILL COME ABOUT WITH ANY CAR OVER 100,000 MILES, BUT YOU DON'T EXPECT THE TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT ON YOUR NISSAN. NISSAN NEEDS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITH THESE PREMATURELY FAILING TRANSMISSIONS! *JS
