problem #3

Jan 022017

Frontier SV 4.0L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

Bought my frontier used from Carmax with only 9,800 miles on it so i figured it should be as close to new as it could get. Soon after, i noticed that when i got home from work (25 min drive) i put the vehicle in reverse to back into my parking spot but the truck didnt move. I gave it a little gas and then it jumped into gear. This has happened many times. Also, i dont know if its normal or not for Nissans to do this but if the truck is cold and i start it up to go somewhere, i put it in drive and it will either just sit still for a few seconds or it will crawl VERY slowly for the first 6'-8'. To me knowledge, that shouldnt be happening. Im gonna take it somewhere and have it looked at bcuz i have never experienced this before in any vehicle but this is my first Nissan, we shall see what they say!

When you stop and put the gas again the transmission do not engage and suddenly after it engages, it is like the transmission is skipping.
