NHTSA Complaint #11031928 — 2017 NISSAN ARMADA

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SEEM TO SHIFT IN A NORMAL MANNER IT DOES NOT SHIFT UP WHEN STARTING FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND SEEMS TO DOWNSHIFT UN-NECESSARILY. YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE WORKING HARDER THAN IT SHOULD SINCE IT'S IN A LOWER GEAR THAN IT SHOULD BE, AND YOU CAN SEE IT IN THE TACHOMETER BECAUSE IT'S RUNNING AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE. ON ONE OCCASION I NOTICED THE TACHOMETER FLUTTERING FOR 10-15 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING AT A STEADY SPEED. ALL OF THE OCCURRENCES WERE ON CITY STREETS. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME AS IT COULD BE A FEW DAYS IN BETWEEN OCCURRENCES. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE ALREADY. THEY DID NOTICE THE PROBLEM AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX!
