Transmission problem w/ 2001 Nissan Sentra gxe, Nissan refuses to fix the problem. They could not find the problem when the vehicle was brought to them before my warranty was up.

2 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 12/19/2003

I have had numerous problems with my 2001 Nissan Sentra. I have posted my prior complaints on this site. Most recently I attempted to back out of a parking spot. A simple enough task one would think. Not with this lemon. The car started, the engine was running, the shift moved in the r position, however the car was not budging. Turns out the transmission had went on my 2001 car. Unacceptable in my opinion. Just to update everyone, this is in addition to the broken ignition wire, inoperative horn and broken fuel pump that I have already experienced with this lemon. Buyer beware!.
