NHTSA Complaint #10693362 — 2007 NISSAN ALTIMA

WE WERE DRIVING TO TAMPA AND CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED AND HAD TO GO ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WILL NOT START. HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE CLOSER TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP. THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE AND HAD A HOLE IN IT AND COULD NOT FIGURE WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE HOLE, IT TOOK TWO WEEKS TO GET THE DIAGNOSIS AND TOLD US WE NEED TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION, WE PAID $5000 FOR IT AND HAD NO CHOICE AS THAT WAS THE ONLY CAR BETWEEN ME AND MY HUSBAND TO GO TO WORK. I CONTACTED NISSAN AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND COULD NOT HELP ME EVEN IF I TOLD THEM THERE WERE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CAR. EVEN THE REPAIR GUY TOLD US THAT NISSAN HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS. AFTER 2 MONTHS THERE WERE MORE PROBLEMS, SEEMS EVERY FEW MONTHS SOMETHING IS WRONG AND NOW MY CAR IS SITTING AGAIN IN THE REPAIR SHOP JUST AFTER 2 YRS AND THEY SAID I NEED ANOTHER TRANSMISSION!!!!! THIS IS CRAZY, I WISH I HAD TRADE IN THE CAR BEFORE THIS HAPPENED AS THIS IS A PIECE OF JUNK. I WILL NEVER BUY NISSAN BEFORE AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET THE WORD OUT NOT TO BUY NISSAN. *TR
