NHTSA Complaint #10995383 — 2012 NISSAN ALTIMA

MY VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR AND NOW THE TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE OVER 700 COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE NHTSA AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND THIS ONGOING ISSUE IS GOING TO HURT OR EVEN KILL SOMEONE. NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE OF THE CVT ISSUES AND THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. THIS RECENTLY HAPPENED THIS PAST WEEKEND (2ND TIME NOW). WE TRAVELED MAYBE 35 MILES, WHEN THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO WHINE JUST BEFORE WE REACHED THE EXIT, I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. NO LIGHTS, NO WARNINGS, NOTHING STATING THERE WAS AN ISSUE. MY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL AUTO SHOP, WHERE THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AS IT IS MOST LIKELY THE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS THEN, AGAIN TOWED TO THE DEALER. KEN GARFF NISSAN. WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT MY 5 YEAR OLD CAR NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION! A YEAR TO DATE I HAD TO REPLACE MY RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, SERPENTINE BELT ECT! THIS IS NOT OKAY AND NOT ACCEPTABLE. SHOULD I HAVE HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND LOST ACCELERATION ON THE FREEWAY, I CANT EVENT FATHOM. THIS ISSUE TRANSMISSION DEFECT HAS SUBSTANTIALLY IMPAIRED THE USE, MARKET VALUE AND MOST OF ALL THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. MY FAMILY IS WORTH MORE THAN THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN MORE THAN HELPFUL AND THEY AGREED A 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES. I AM ASKING THAT NISSAN DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX THIS PROBLEM AND CARE ABOUT THE CONSUMER. I TRULY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT NISSAN CARES ABOUT THEIR CONSUMERS AND I REALLY HOPE THAT THEY REVIEW THIS COMPLAINT AND ACT UPON IT, DOING THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL THESE ENGINES. I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY HOW MANY NISSAN OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND FILED COMPLAINTS WITH THE BBB, CARGURU, NISSAN AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS. PLEASE, HAVE THIS LOOKED INTO. I KNOW NISSAN IS FULLY AWARE AND THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.
