| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The automatic transmission unexpectedly stopped working while i was driving the vehicle. no accidents or injuries resulted, but this could easily have occurred under different circmstances. when i brought the vehicle to a knowledgeable transmission repair shop, the chief mechanic informed me that there is a known design flaw in this transmission. in fact, he had rebuilt many of these and knew how to "modify" the unit to prevent further problems. my question: doesn't the manufacturer have some responsibility here? i am in the process of contacting nissan and will await their formal response. in the meantime, can you help me get this problem resolved? i am convinced there are many more consumers out there driving these vehicles who are at risk. *ak |
