problem #1

May 262006

Altima 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 7,000 miles
: the contact stated while crusing at 35 mph, the vehicle stalled and automatically shut off. The dash lights started to get dim seconds before the incident occurred. The vehicle's steering wheel locked up after the vehicle stalled and rolled to a stop. The automatic transmission was shifted into neutral when parked, although it was only able to be shifted into park after 3 attempts. The vehicle started up normally after the transmission was in park. This incident occurred during the afternoon during damp road conditions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on 05/26/06 which determined that the contact was putting bad gas into the vehicle. The same incident occurred on 06/09/06 and 06/17/06 where the vehicle was travelling at 45 mph. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer 3 additional times, but was told that there was no problem with the vehicle.
