problem #4

Kicks

  • 5,000 miles
I was driving 30 mph straight and had to make a left turn. There was a car coming in the opposite direction I was driving so I had to slow down and come to a stop to let the car pass before I turned. When the car passed and I went to turn left my car would not move. My car was still on and in drive with no warning's on. I put my car in park and put it back in drive and it still wouldn't move. I had to turn my car off and back on for it to be able to move. This is a critical issue that needs to be fixed immediately because it could leave fatalities. Thank goodness no one was behind me or I could have been killed. I am now afraid to even drive because of this incident, especially on the highway.

[xxx] has bought five vehicles over a ten-year time span, he has placed a considerable amount of money and faith into Nissan. On August 27th, the car completely shut down on the freeway, the check engine light went on and the car was towed to Nissan of serramonte, in colma, California. The car is still in Nissan of serramonte's repair shop, with no estimated finish date. An engineer from Nissan corporation, [xxx], went to Nissan in colma, yesterday to diagnose the [xxx] vehicle. After speaking with the service departments manager this morning, there is still not an estimated time of finishing the repairs.
