POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
EVERYTHING STARTED AFTER A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE AT 66, 300 MILES LAST APRIL AT A LOCAL GERMAN AUTHORIZED NISSAN DEALER. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 4K MILES, I START TO NOTICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP. I DIDNT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL THEN. I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE FLUID AND THE FILTER AGAIN, WHICH I DID. AFTER I CHANGED THE TRASNM. FLUID/FILTER AGAIN, THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING AGAIN, UNTIL STOP WORKING AGAIN AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 300 MILES (NOW HAS 71, 244 MILES). NOW IT DOESNT DO ANYTHING CAN NOT GO FORWARD OR REVERSE. THE DEALER AND EVERY MECAHNIC I TALK TO TELL ME THAT I NEED TO GET A NEW TRASNMISSION. THIS VEHICLE IS USED BY MY WIFE JUST TO GO TO WORK AND DO THE GROCERIES AND TO GO ON TRIPS ONCE IN A WHILE.
