Bought this car from a dealership, one owner with great records. Car only had 65K, in like new shape. Lately, it's shown it's age. No big deal. Until this weekend when after sitting for the night, drove it to town and the RPM's wouldn't go below 3500. Called for a tow. Was informed today that the transmission is gone. That fast. The kicker is, to replace it takes some 12 hours and $5000 AND the biggest kicker of all? It's a problem that can't be fixed because the replacement transmission will do the same thing eventually. Nissan knew of this problem but never fixed the issue.

I spoke to a former Nissan dealership member who also had the same problem and Nissan gave him no recourse on the extended warranty even though they knew of the design defect. I have been a die-hard Nissan owner for many vehicles. But this shows me it's not the same Nissan company it once was. Very disappointing because until this, I found this to be one of the best cars ever. But nothing worse than an expensive problem that can't ever be fixed.

This car has been the biggest thorn in my side. I bought this car brand new and I could have bought two for the amount of money I have spent on repairs for this vehicle. I have never seen a bigger POS in my life. When you pay good money for a vehicle you do not expect to start having issues from 45,000 miles and up. I should have followed my accountants advice and got rid of the darn thing at 60,000 miles, but I was not in the position at the time to do that. I have had my right axle replaced 6 times, two transmissions, motor mounts at 60,000 miles which no one has ever heard of at that mileage before. I take care of my vehicle and get routine maintenance checks. I seriously think the dealership started sabotaging my vehicle at one point and had to stop bringing it there because every time I went in something else went wrong. I could have seriously been hurt because I brought my car in three times telling them about a humming noise and they kept telling me it was the tires and I kept telling them it was the hub bearings. Well it was the hub bearings. Same thing with the axle. I brought it in three times telling them that the axle was making noise and they said they didn't know what it was. My axle sheered off in the middle of the road, luckily no one was coming so I was able to roll to the side because I had enough force form the acceleration before it broke. Supposedly no one had ever seen anything like it. I have gone through more seals than you can imagine and I believe that is why I had to have the right axle fixed the first time because the assholes at the dealership ripped the boot on my axle and didn't own up to it. I also do not understand why the parts on a 2006 are still so damn expensive. The car isn't made of gold. Also, get some damn OEM parts that actually work on the vehicle. Two of the new axles put on the right side of the vehicle were OEM and would not stop leaking. However, they still cannot figure out why it leaks slightly. I am finally at my wits end and ready to get rid of the hunk of metal. Nissan Sucks!!!!!!!! I will never buy another one.
