Bought this car new in 2005. The Transmission appeared to be starting to slip often just during regular traffic at a little over 65K miles . On acceleration, and sometimes even at higher speeds on the highway. Took it in twice, and the service manager said they could not find anything definite, but did tell me this model was notorious for leaking coolant into transmission, and he suggested that I sell the car rather than try to have repaired, as soon as possible. Am still driving it, hoping to hold out until all of the other problems it has can be evaluated so I can not lose money just "taking it over the scales"....the "service engine light" has been a major issue as well. Evidently the gas level sensor has gone bad, and it is buried in the fuel tank which requires a complete new fuel pump. Prior to the transmission issues. One brake shoe disintegrated and destroyed lines, etc. Required $850 new brake setup. Worst car I have ever owned. No more Nissans for me.

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AFTER TAKING TO 2 DEALERSHIPS FOR FIXING. AN A/F SENOR WAS REPLACED AND SELF LEARNING TEST DONE BUT AFTER 4 DAYS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE LEASING THE CAR IN 2005. MY LEASE IS ALMOST UPS AND NISSAN CAN TAKE THIS CAR AND SHOVE IT. THIS CAR HAS BEEN TO DIFFERENT DEALERS AT LEAST 10 TIMES AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO PERMANENTLY FIX...

Recently (01/2016) - 103k miles - Check Engine Light came on: VIAS Solenoid Valve, Bank 2 Catalytic Converter, & Oil Pressure Sensor Switch all need replaced (possibly related to ECM Relay Issue)
Previous: ECM Relay Replaced (recall); Radiator fluid caused transmission failure @ 96k (replaced under "extended warranty"); Replaced transmission hoses several times between transmission replacements; less than one year later, transmission failed again.
