| 2000 nissan altima bought new and faithfully maintained at dealership (tri-city nissan tallmadge ohio) has transmission failure at only 50,000 miles. dealership offers no explanation for this unheard of problem. nissan headquarters tells me they will take care of repair b/c it is unheard of. i wait (without a car) for 2 weeks and then headquarters says they will not repair. when i get repair (over $3k) the shop says defective gear and i now have the part. if someone can't help me with this i am going to sue nissan with punitive. *tr | |||

| We have been dealing with an issue with the transmission on this car since the day we purchased it.there actually was a problem before we purchased it & we were told it would be corrected if we bought the car.we have had the car in about this & they are unable to correct it. the transmission has gotten so bad that it failed when my wife & kids pulled out onto a busy road & were almost hit because the automatic transmission failed to stay in gear. the garage keeps telling us that they cannot reproduce any of the symptoms and we are afraid to use the car now.*ak | |||
