Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL...CAR WAS DRIVING FINE ALL DAY UNTIL I PULLED UP TO A RED LIGHT.WHEN LIGHT CHANGED AND I PRESSED ON GAS, CAR WOULD HARDLY GO BUT EVENTUALLY AFTER SOFT COAXING IT GOT UP TO SPEED. WAS LIKE I JUST LOST FIRST GEAR ON AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.SUBSEQUENT RED LIGHTS RESULTED IN SAME PROBLEM. RESEARCHED ONLINE ABOUT ANY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON JUST ONE WEBSITE.TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM: COOLANT BOX INSIDE TRANSMISSION BURST CAUSING TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR FLUIDS TO MIX AND RUINING BOTH TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR. COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS $3800-4500.I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I CONTACTED NISSAN CORPORATE I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS BECAUSE HUNDREDS IS MINUTE IN COMPARISON TO THE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES THEY HAVE SOLD.
