Consumer Description

I WAS TRAVELLING ON A HIGHWAY OUT OF TOWN WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PASSED 40MPH AND MAKING A STRANGE NOISE. FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE HIGHWAY, I TURNED OFF THE CAR. LOCATED A NISSAN DEALER AND DROVE THE CAR THERE. AT FIRST THE CAR SEEMED TO BE ONCE AGAIN NORMAL, BUT AGAIN UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT ALL PASSED 40MPH. DEALER IS STATING THAT TRANSMISSION IS COMPLETELY GONE! I PURCHASED THE CAR BRAND NEW ON 2/12/2013. NOW 3 YEARS LATER THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE?? THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE 5000.00 TO FIX IT, BUT LOWERED THE PRICE TO 1800.00. IT'S 6000 MILES PASSED THE WARRANTY AND NOW WHAT? I NEED NISSAN USA TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT.
