Power Train · reported Apr 13, 2024
Car need transmission replaced - there is no warning on car that transmission is having major issues (ie no check engine light). My car shakes on turning this has been on going since I purchased the car in 2017. In late 2023 the car did not have as much pick up power like it used to and had a whining noise once you drive for a while (without the power it used to). There were no check engine light warning to date. On 1/12/24 I used auto zone engine diagnostic and following error codes came up - P17FO - CVT JUDDER P17F2 -JUDDER T/C inspection Diagnostic at AAMCO ON 3/25/24 show additional issues…

Suspension · reported Jul 5, 2023
The control arms on the vehicle malfunctioned and had to be replaced. I typically lost control of steering causing the vehicle to jerk in one direction or the other. This was repaired almost a year ago. I had the vehicle serviced at a independent service center. It could have possible caused an accident had I not been able to counteract the loss of steering. I am currently experiencing this same issue again and was notified in May 2023 that the control arms have once again malfunctioned. There are no warning lights for this issue, I noticed it when the car seemed to need a front end alignment…

I have a 2016 nissan quest. It snowed last night, and a piece of ice got stuck in the driver's side exterior door handle and kept the handle slightly ajar. Because of this, the driver's side door would not open using the interior door handle. I had to unroll the window, and push the exterior handle back to its normal position before the interior door handle would open the door. I AM gravely concerned about the design of the door latch mechanism. It would be logical that the interior handle should override any state the that the exterior handle is in (For example, if the exterior handle was…
