    As my vehicle was exiting a major highway, the vehicle began to shake and putter. I was able to put my vehicle in park within 1 minute of this puttering. Once in park, the vehicle began to shake more rapidly and louder. I assumed something terrible was going to happen and shut the car off. After an hour and a half, I started the vehicle back up and not to my surprise experienced the puttering and shaking once again. I put the vehicle in drive and began to slowly step on the gas while turning into the road and the car shut completely off and slid back toward the curb with the engine light on and battery. I had to call AAA to have me towed home and on their arrival, they were able to back the vehicle up and forward as long as he pushed down full throttle. The AAA representative suggested through his knowledge of mechanics that it seems there is an issue with either the spark plugs or the fuel pump/filter combo. After changing the spark plugs and still having this issue tonight....we are leaning towards the pump as the issue. There were no lights or warnings prior to the shaking that began as stated in this entry.

    I was driving onto the highway trying to accelerate past 40mph and the car started jerking really bad. I almost rear ended another vehicle luckily I was able to just avoid them . I quickly pulled over and cut the car off when I cut it back on the check engine light came on. it was around 2am so I drove it home the best That I could and took it to get diagnosed the next morning. I was told the transmission had sent about 4 failure codes and that I would need a new one. The need of a new transmission was confirmed for my the Nissan dealership themselves. My car has never done anything remotely like that before hand. I felt my life was put at grave risk and others around me. Knowing my car had began to had a jerking motion of which is almost very uncontrollable.

    I WANT TO BE REIMBURSE FOR HAVING TO PAY TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REPLACED. I GOT MY CAR WITH 30 SOMETHING MILES ON IT, BOUGHT IT OFF THE LOT, BECAUSE I WANTED A GOOD CAR THAT WOULDN'T NEED REPAIRS OR BREAK DOWN ON ME. COME TO FIND OUT, NISSAN HAD A KNOWN TRANSMISSION ISSUE ON THEIR CARS AND WAS PAYING FOR SOME REPAIRS BUT BECAUSE MINE WAS A FEW MILES OVER THE "CUT OFF" NUMBER OF MILES, MINE WAS NOT COVERED. I HAD TO PAY 3 THOUSAND + DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIXED, WHICH I DIDN'T HAVE. I NEEDED TO GET A LOAN TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ON A GARBAGE CAR THAT YOU ALL KNEW HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND AGREED TO PAY FOR SOME TRANSMISSIONS BUT BECAUSE MINE WAS A FEW MILES OVER YOUR ALLOWED MILES, YOU DID NOT PAY WHEN YOUR THE MULTI MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WHO MADE THESE CARS INCORRECTLY!! YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR MY REPAIRS IF YOU PAID FOR EVERYONE ELSE'S TRANSMISSIONS!! I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 6 KIDS WHO DOES NOT HAVE 3 THOUSAND + DOLLARS LAYING AROUND FOR A CAR THAT I THOUGHT WAS A GOOD CAR!!! PLEASE REIMBURSE ME ESPECIALLY DURING THESE HARD TIMES WITH NO MONEY DURING COVID -19. DON'T FORGET YOUR THE MILLIONAIRES WITH DUMB POOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF TRYING TO GET AHEAD BY BUYING A CAR OFF THE LOT, THINKING THEY WON'T HAVE ANY CAR ISSUES!!
