Consumer Description

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & THE CAR SLOWED DOWN ON THE INTERSTATE. I WAS DRIVING FROM BIRMINGHAM, AL TO ACWORTH, GA. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. BUT I HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON A 2012 NISSAN VERSA PURCHASED NEW 8/6/2012. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & THE CAR SLOWED DOWN. THE TOTAL COST OF TRANSMISSION $3,534.93. THE VERSA HAD 70,619 MILES. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED ON 2/23/18 AT A TOTAL COST OF $572.93 AT 63,067 MILES. NO PROBLEMS WERE NOTED AT THE TIME OF SERVICE. BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES I EXPERIENCED WITH THE VERSA, DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN, I FEEL I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS.
