Consumer Description

BOUGHT CAR USED FROM NISSAN DEALER. GOOD SERVICE RECORDS WITH REGULAR ON TIME TRANSMISSION SERVICES. DAY AFTER I DRIVE IT OFF THE LOT IT STARTS VIOLENTLY JERKING INTO GEAR AND IN THE MIDDLE OF GEAR. RANDOMLY DROPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR, JERKS OUT OF NOWHERE. HAS JERKED SO HARD MY NECK AND UPPER BODY WERE SOMEWHAT SORE THE NEXT MORNING. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IN CLOSE TRAFFIC AS IT COULD EASILY JERK VIOLENTLY ENOUGH TO MAKE ME JERK THE WHEEL, ACCIDENTALLY SLIDE FOOT DOWN ONTO THE GAS OR BRAKE, ETC. THIS TRANSMISSION AND CAR WAS WELL CARED FOR ALL OF ITS 107K MILES AND I HAVE SOLID REPAIR HISTORY PAPERWORK TO PROVE IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS, POTENTIALLY DEADLY TRANSMISSION IN THESE CARS. I HAVE A QUOTE FOR A $3500 QUOTE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY A SHOP. THIS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS OF OWNING THE CAR. I AM COMPLETELY DISGUSTED. *TR
