| POWER TRAIN - DRIVELINE | |||
| 12/11/2002 | 67525 | 1 | 04/24/1998 |
| In fall of 2002 my car began having problems, getting worse until an overhaul of transmission was required for $1,269 due to complete failure.*ak the car jerked, the drivetrain semed to slip @ cy and hwy use, and the rear gearfailed to work at all finally. the repair shop guessed my problem before examining the car, stating he saw it all the time. he showed me a package of small parts from nissan corp.which he said they sent out to deal with the problem. he explained nissan changed the transmission style for approx. a 3 year period (96-98?), using a solenoid (i believe) that he said failed in all cars made when the cars reached 80,000 miles. he said the cars made before and after the 3 years didn't have this problem. my car was 3 1/2 years old and had 67,525 miles. the drivetrain warrantydidn't cover the carsince it was more than 3 yrs old and had more than 60k miles. parts replaced were torque converter, banner kit (nissan's kit), band, drum gear, sun gear front, planetary gear set front and rear, and 10 qrts of trans. oil. parts cost $909, labor $360. due to the repair shop's knowledge of the problem without any inspection, their possession of 'nissan fixer kit', and probable lrg % of cars with same problem, i think nissan built a faulty car component, knew about it,and even designed the tranny that should have been put in the car originally. i experienced no accident or injury, but if the parts came loose while on the highway it could cause very quick 'seizing' stops with no warning (brake lights), and possible projectile like behavior of the parts. i believe nissan is at least partially liable for this problem if all the information i received is correct. | |||
