from one end of the spectrum to the other... now the dealer called me saying the entire transmission needs to be replaced (new one is 10k LOL). Tech said it was slipping on the highway (but that has never happened to me)

so I am not sure what to do... the car is probably worth 12-13k with a good transmission so definitely not paying 10k. I'm just going to drive it back for now and either try and get a used one or just sell as is. I am not the best mechanically and probably will only own cars with warranties now. I have had this car for 4.5 years almost and this is the first problem that I have had outside of a sensor. I was going to eventually get a Corvette anyway but wish I had known this was going to happen (hindsight 20/20, etc)

I just drove it back from the dealer with a few stops and it didn't die at all... there is a bit of idle drop though thats about it and I think that's normal? so confused right now they cleaned my MAF and throttle bodies

Sounds like its fixed!

Mine idle drops at a stop as well, and I only have 27K miles on it.

Keep on truckin!

What's weird is that they still said I needed a new transmission. I wonder if they just cleaned the MAF/throttle bodies and neglected to see if that fixed it. I will see if it stays fixed haha

So was it the fuel pump?

Had this JUST happen to me today.

Car drives/shifts fine once I'm moving, but dies when I come to a complete stop. I'm 90% sure it's the torque converter.

I bought the silver warranty plan when I bought the car new in 3-2014, sitting at 56k miles now. Never had any transmission related issues like this until today.

Anyone know if Nissan is going to cover this or am I looking at $$$.

Standard Powertrain warranty is 5/60...so should be warranted :tup:

Thank God, but no conversations with dealerships are "easy" when it's $$ going OUT for them.

Just tried the ECU reset after it sat cold for a few hours: Starts fine, no noise out of the ordinary.... going into reverse, seems normal for about 2 seconds and then BAM: stalls.

So this to me has to be TQ converter... will find out Tuesday with stealership appointment.

Does sound like the TC Solenoid is trying to go in lockup mode,,,hopefully dealership will be able to hook you up & flush the tranny fluid as well :tup:

JC do you know if that solenoid is in the transmission housing or not?

Appreciate like REALLY appreciate everyones words of encouragement!!!

Driving this eve in stop/go rush hour was ____ hell. Poor car. Got it to the dealership, should findout tomorrow what the status is.


56k miles, 12 days before I hit 5 years (I also paid for that "silver" plan when I bought new) so fingers crossed i don't get the whole: "Well...it's gonna be a MILLION $$$$"

At least you dont have to worry about having to replace the convertable top!.. :eekdance:

Lot more possibilities than there used to be..
