Transmission seems to be slipping, it shifts in a dramatic loud manner. A large jolt occurs when changing gears. This occurs completely sporadically, it will function normally for a few days and then malfunction several times, and then return to normal. When taken to transmission shop I was told it was fine, this is partly due to the fact that there is no way to check the transmission fluid without dropping the pan. This problem has persisted for a few months and still continues today.

Car has trouble starting. Takes several attempts to start. Trouble began in february of 2004. Took car to nissan dealer where purchased in march of 2003 because of dealer service contract. Replaced oxygen sensors in march of 2004. Engine light returned on restart. Replaced battery in may of 2004 after car would not start and customer left stranded, engine light returned again. Took to auto zone to find service code. Pulled manufacture code p1170. Honda service of gilbert told me that it was a manifold gasket defect and would not be covered. Customer reminded service rep that it should be under the epa mandated 8 year/80,000 mile major emission control system warranty. Told I would need to pay $85.00 to get complete diagnostic report. Service rep agreed that it may be covered. Nissan dealer service rep advised that the last manifold job took over a week to repair. Customer cannot get vehicle licensed until repairs are made. Tags were up in june of 2004. Please help! There must be a bulletin that applies ie, mfg bulletin # 00010 date 20020528. The obdii showed p1171. I know the runaround these manufacturers give and I am not willing to pay anymore $ and will seek legal recourse if not resolved in the next 7 days.
