Consumer Description
I was on my way back from Michigan, heading toward Utah, and around Chicago the transmission started giving me issues. I was informed by a transmission company that I would be able to make it out to Utah, but we only made it to South Dakota and the transmission was blown. I had to pay $500 in towing to a transmission shop. The transmission shop informed me that the transmission is in fact blown and it will cost $6400 to replace. I also had a quote from a Nissan dealership for around $6600. The car has under 37,000 miles but is out of warranty because it is a rebuilt title. I purchased this vehicle about 2 months ago and have driven it around 8,000 miles since. I have had regular maintenance and upkeep on the vehicle, above and beyond, as I was not sure of the previous owners care. Owners, regardless of warranty or title status, have reported similar transmission problems. This suggests an inherent issue with the 2019 NV3500. Considering the safety risks and financial burden faced by owners, I request an investigation and recall program covering inspections, repairs, or replacements.
