I know it's annoying to have to deal with it, but at least it is getting dealt with. Sounds like your dealer is trying to make it right. I say give them a chance. Course, depends on the rental they gave you. Hope they got you something nice! KeithXeARMADA said:
3rd Gear Shutter/ Tranny UPDATE:
Updated Info: 5-11-06
After 3weeks of waiting for parts, the Dealer finally took the car in on Tues. for the replacment of the Valve Control and TCU. It took a whopping 6hours to replace (seems rather fast) handed over the keys, and assured me the problem was resolved. So.... I went on my merry way.
3/4s of the way home low and behold it was "shuttering" again. Same problem same gear. UGGGGGGG.... I confirmed it 3 more times and called the Service manager. They were a bit embarassed as I stated that this is unacceptable.
I brought the truck back on Wed and again drove these guys around. They felt the problem 3-4 times and just sat there scratching their heads saying "these drivetrains are soild, we never have issues with them like this." Their final response was that they are going to call Nissan and approve a $7K tranny replacment.
Stunned from the quick decision they had made, I stood their wondering and a bit discourged over the entire experience. Should I just demand a new vehicle? Go into a fooking rage?? or just be cool?
The service mgr. said we do not want you to drive your Mada and therefore we are placing you in a rental. I said "umm, ok" and went along with "or just be cool" option for now.
I'm going to keep on this thing as im not going to wait another 3weeks.
Meatime, I will update you guys as I get more info.
