WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. NO WARNING, JUST CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 30 MILES PER HOUR WITHOUT CUTTING OFF THE CAR COMPLETELY. HAD TO BE TOWED. AFTER TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM THE RADIATOR ON TRANSMISSION FAILED. COME ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE, JUST AS NOTED IN THE SAFETY RECALL A FEW YEARS AGO BUT NISSAN IS NO LONGER SUPPORTING THEIR CUSTOMERS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. WELL, AFTER $3700, MY TRANSMISSION IS REBUILT WITH NEW RADIATOR. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE COVERED THIS SAFETY ISSUE.. I WAS IN TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED, IT WAS VERY STRESSFUL AND UNSAFE FOR ME TO CHANGE LANES AND PULL OVER ON A HIGHWAY THAT HAS A 70 MPH LIMIT AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE. EVEN THOUGH I PUT MY FLASHER ON TRAFFIC WAS VERY HEAVY AND IT WAS TRULY UNSAFE FOR NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT MY PASSENGERS AND THOSE CARS BEHIND ME THAT HAD TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN BECAUSE OF MY MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

MY VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY BUCK AND LOSE DRIVE POWER. MOSTLY NOTICED AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT ALSO DOES IT ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY LIKE PEOPLE REPORTED IN THE 2014 CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST NISSAN FOR SEVERAL OF THE 2014 NISSAN MODELS (SPECIFICALLY, THE PATHFINDER) IT IS CONCERNING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL COMPLETELY GO CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, SUSPENSION
I PURCHASED MY FIRST VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2016 AT KIA DEPOT OF SANTA ANA (NOW KIA OF ORANGE).. AND I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED BATTERY CORROSION. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING AND THERE WAS A LOUD THUD THAT FORCED ME OFF THE ROAD ON A BUSY STREET AND I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. TURNS OUT THE EMERGENCY BREAK WAS COMPLETED RUSTED AND CRUMBLED AWAY FROM THE CAR - THIS WAS NOT THE ONLY THING THAT WAS RUSTED I DISCOVERED. THE ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CAR IS TOTALLY COVERED AND BEING EATEN ALIVE BY RUST - THIS CAR WAS SOLD TO ME, BY KIA, AS A "AS IS" CAR - HOWEVER, I REFUSE TO LET THEM HID BEHIND THAT. SINCE I HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR, WHICH WAS SOLD TO ME FOR A TOTAL OF $12,592.00,MONTHLY PAYMENTS OF $285.85- I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY SITTING IN NEW YORK AROUND THE TIME OF HURRICANE KATRINA - LEGALLY IF ITS FROM A DIFFERENT STATE, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO DISCLOSE THAT TO ME & THEY DIDN'T. SO FAR I'VE HAD TO GET A NEW BATTERY, NEW BRAKES, EMERGENCY BRAKE IS GONE, NEW MUFFLER, NEW SWAY BAR, AC RECHARGED, AND JUST RECENTLY A PIECE OF THE LEAF SPRING UNDER THE TIRE COMPLETELY SNAPPED OFF AND BROKE IN HALF WHILE DRIVING - THESE GUYS SOLD ME A RUSTY NIGHTMARE AND THEY HAVE SINCE CLOSED UP SHOP. ALSO THE SALESMAN PADDED MY LOAN APPLICATION AND I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL - I DO NOT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL ANOTHER PIECE OF THIS THING FALLS APART ON ME AGAIN, I HAD MY 7 YEAR OLD NIECE IN THE CAR WITH ME THE FIRST TIME WHEN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE CRUMBLED. I HAVE LEFT REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS - MY NEXT STEP IS A ATTORNEY. HERE IS A REPORT I FILED ON RIPOFF REPORT -HTTP://WWW.RIPOFFREPORT.COM/REPORTS/KIA-DEPOT-OF-SANTA-ANA/SANTA-ANA-CALIFORNIA-92701/KIA-DEPOT-OF-SANTA-ANA-SOLD-ME-A-RUSTED-OUT-CAR-THAT-WAS-IN-HURRICANE-SANDY-SANTA-ANA-CA-1312221

LACK OF RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION DOES SHIFT FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL TO REVERSE AND THEN DRIVE BUT ONCE IN DRIVE IT STAYS IN A LOWER GEAR LIKE 1ST. WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET ALL OF THE SUDDEN I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A SOUND AS IF IT WERE NOT SHIFTING TO A HIGHER GEAR. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY CHECKED THE ENGINE CODE AND THEY SAID IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT WE NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. WE TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THE CODES IS FOR TRANSMISSION FAILURE. REPAIR COST WILL BE ABOUT 5000.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2007 NISSAN EXTERRA 4WD. I CHECKED MY RADIATOR FLUID SINCE I WAS NOT GETTING HEAT DURING PARKED IDLE. AFTER LETTING THE MOTOR COOL ENOUGH TO REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP, TO MY SURPRISE THERE IS TRANSMISSION FLUID IN MY RADIATOR. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR APPROXIMATELY THREE YEARS AND NEVER ONCE GOT A LETTER. WHEN I CALLED NISSAN TODAY 11/10/2017 I WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL ENDED IN 2016 OR AT 100,000 MILES. IN WHICH CASE I WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, TRANSMISSION FAILED. NO WARNING INDICATIONS, JUST FAILED. THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 30 MPH. TRANSMISSION FAILED, THE RADIATOR WAS BAD. SO LIKE ALL OTHER NISSAN OWNERS, I'M OUT $3700 FOR THE TRANSMISSION REBUILD TO INCLUDE A NEW RADIATOR AND ANOTHER $300 TO RENT A CAR SO I CAN GET TO WORK. NISSAN YOU ARE VERY IRRESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD BE REIMBURSE YOUR CUSTOMERS, I TEND ON SPREADING THE WORD TO ALL TO AVOID NISSAN BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF CUSTOMER SUPPORT ON THIS SAFETY ISSUE.
